Cathe LITE Metabolic Blast

TinaT · 04-20-21, 11:41 AM

With the current thread about Cathe's upcoming release, it brings me to where I always land.... "should I try her?" Years ago I tried some of Cathe's step routines and maybe 1 of her strength. (we're talking many many years ago). Since I'm all about 4-limb/compound movement, they were not my cup of tea. But this morning, (due to the new thread), I checked out some of her workouts at Total Fitness DVDs. I came across LITE Series Metabolic Blast. So much compound movement!!! 😍 Crazy amount of premixes!! So, it begs to ask...

Is this doable for someone considered a solid intermediate? Are there other Cathe workouts like this? Do you use this one often?

I need to change up what I'm doing. My collection looks tired to me so I'm looking for new motivation without breaking the bank.

TIA ~

Yes, weight selection determines how easy/hard this will be for you. I like this workout a lot but then I love all Cathe’s metabolic workouts. This one is definitely more intermediate and still a sweatfest, and doable for any level.

Cathe’s user guide for this series has a list of all the exercises in this workout, which may be helpful as well.

This is one of my 'go to' workouts when I want a solid workout without killing myself. I feel good when I'm done but not completely spent. It flows nicely and time flies by. I give it a huge thumbs up.

ETA.....I might actually be thinking about ICE Metabolic workout. I have that one pulled out for today b/c I know I like that one. Hmmm, now I'm wondering about the LITE one? I guess I'm gonna hafta try that one again soon too. LOL!

I agree with angie_nrs...Metabolic Blast is my "go-to" workout when I want to get a good solid intermediate workout. Another metabolic goodie is ICE Metabolic Total Body. Both the LITE and ICE metabolic workouts are my favorites!

I just did this one this morning! Yes, totally doable for an intermediate. I used this as more of a cardio workout and just used 2's and 3's for weights. I also like Flex Train. To me that one seems to be a little more upper body focused than some of her other metabolic workouts, so it's a good balance. I also enjoy the metabolic workout from ICE, and the Supecuts workout from XTrain. Take the plunge!!

Thanks for all the feedback. One thing I caught was there is an ICE Metabolic workout I better go check on as well.

ETA: I think ICE Metabolic is in the same vein as LITE Metabolic. Hmmm.... might just be what I need to challenge myself with.
