Cathe Friedrich's XTrain: All Out Low Impact HiiT |
 Joint friendly |
| Cathe does it again with her amazing skill to give us that cardio burn without the dreaded joint factor. Her great queing, great music and mixed cardio moves give this one a high fun-factor I'll be reaching for often. I also do her high-impact workouts, so this is one I'll do for a "down day."Keep 'em coming Cathe!!! - posted by Carie on 5/9/2013 |

| Love this workout! |
| I bought a few of these X-Train videos and I am very happy with all of them. I love the no repeats (or minimal repeats) and all of the premix options. The music entertains me and, as usual, Cathe's instruction is great. I look forward to Cathe's next series! - posted by EAFN on 5/3/2013 |

| Don't Be Fooled By "Low Impact" |
| While this workout might be low impact, its definitely not low intensity. This is probably my favorite of all the XTrain cardio workouts. I found the music from Tabatacise to be really annoying and if I want a good Tabata workout, I'll do either Cross Fire or To the Max. Hard Strikes is a good cardio workout, but its not my favorite. This workout picks up speed and never slows down. There are numerous premixes you can do, but my favorite one is the All Out Extreme Cardio which is the entire workout with the floor segment repeated. The core #1 bonus is also a nice add on. The music in this is really good, the first cardio song has been stuck in my head all day! The workout is divided up into 3 parts: Floor, step and disc. I really love the disc cross country ski move. You can feel your obliques kicking in on that one. I did this workout this morning and my clothes were drenched in sweat. Cathe knows how to make low impact not be low intensity. I'm always amazed by her...she's around 45 years old and is just incredible! - posted by Amanda on 4/17/2013 |

| I really enjoy this workout |
| I like Cathe's low impact workouts. They are safe for my knees and are a nice change from doing high impact everyday. I like to mix it up and this workout allows me to do that. I also enjoy the variety in the workout itself and the length. I like to workout in the morning before I go to work and I can't always do a full-hour workout and sometimes a half-hour doesn't seem like enough, this workout is perfect for those days. I would highly recommend for intermediate level exercisers and recommend as a good workout for advanced exercisers if they want a break from high-impact once in a while. - posted by Yvette on 3/29/2013 |

| High impact junkie |
| I could be the only one on this planet who returned this DVD, but personally, it just didn't do it for me. Every other reviewer gave this DVD a glowing review, so I kept waiting to get EXHAUSTED........but it never happened. Cathe and the rest of her crew are sweating buckets, but for whatever reason, the low impact didn't have the same IMPACT for me. It still deserves 5 stars. Cathe is an awesome instructor. I personally just didn't get enough of a workout with the low impact. - posted by Angela on 3/28/2013 |

| High intensity, low impact |
| I loved Cathe's original HIIT workout, and more recently Tabatacise and Crossfire/To the Max since I saw a huge increase in my endurance and overall fitness level after doing them regularly. This winter, I had to take 7 weeks off of working out to recover from a broken foot, and decided to try Low Impact HIIT for my first workout, thinking it would be a nice way to ease back into exercising. Wow, was I surprised. I had to hit pause several times just to get through it, and my glutes and legs are still incredibly sore two days later. It may be low impact (I had no problems even with a recently broken foot!) but it really packs a punch. Love this one and will reach for it often. - posted by Jen on 3/24/2013 |

 Not Skeptical Anymore |
| High impact aerobics has just gotten too hard on my back and knees but I was skeptical that a low impact HIIT workout could get my heart rate up to the point of breathlessness like the high impact versions. Fortunately I was proved wrong with this workout. The variety of movements and equipment in the workout are also really fun so I'm sure I'll be doing this one a lot. - posted by Karen on 3/14/2013 |

| Fantastic! |
| This workout is fantastic! After the first time, it became a favorite and is now in my weekly rotation. (Although I must admit I haven't mastered the entire workout but it is definitely a short-term goal!) I am in my 50s and love the fact that it is low-impact. - posted by Janet on 3/7/2013 |

| Don't be fooled by "Low Impact" |
| AWESOME workout!! I am in my 40's and my knees bother me much more than they used to. I was a little leary at first, thinking this may not be difficult enough to meet my standards, but this is a perfect workout for keeping my heart rate soaring and getting me sore in all the right places!! Thanks, Cathe for a fantastic cardio workout!! - posted by Colleen on 2/28/2013 |
