It sounds strange, but after all these years of working out, I've finally realized it's OK to make the workout work for me! |

How similar is this set to Xtrain? Do you think they would play well together?

The only ones I ordered were the Low Impact HIIT and the Upper Body Circuit HIIT. For the Low Impact workout I did both 1 and 2 plus one of the core sections, and I really liked it. The cardio is not as intense as Cathe's high impact, but for me it was fine since I try to avoid very much high impact. The core work was a mix of things but fun and the 12 minutes flew by. I've also done the Upper Body Circuit workout. There's some high impact that can be modified. My only complaint about this workout is that there's not as much upper body work in it as I thought there would be. Next time I'll use heavier weights though, and maybe I'll feel it more. I did not try any of the core sections on this DVD.

I did do the Abs #2 the other day. I found it to be almost identical to the core work she's been doing in the Live workouts lately. I want to say it was just like the core section in the Butts and Guts Live workout, but don't quote me for sure. Good mix of standing and weighted work. The plank section at the end was awesome and I felt a nice burn in the rectus from that one. I haven't done Abs #1 yet, although I plan to do that tomorrow with the Chest, triceps, shoulders disc. HTH!

The only one I managed so far is Low Impact Hiit One. Even for HiiT training, it is a short workout, just under 20 minutes for the cardio section. There is a good fun warmup, decent stretch and almost no equipment, just a yoga mat as your guide for jumps/steps and two Dixie cups (I went with no mat and two pairs of balled-up socks). I'm a high intermediate and this workout wasn't terribly tough for me; I only went about 80% as deep/fast as Cathe and Crew did but they were going turbo-fast some of the time and I can't move my feet that quickly on my workout carpet. Cathe's cueing leaves a little to be desired in this one - she cues the move as she's doing it, or if she sets up the move well she neglects to say whether you're alternating legs or pulsing for three counts until you're already moving. Fortunately the choreography is very straightforward, so at most you'll miss a rep while you're getting back on track.
