Add me to the group who LOVE Cathe Live!!! I don't need her On Demand feature either since I have so many of her workouts on dvd.
There are two choices of featured streaming: high quality or low quality. I have better luck with the low quality feature. So far, there's just been one time when the streaming didn't work adequately for me since I joined in November and I use the site 2-3x/week. (That's saying a lot since I subscribe to other sites and I have had a lot more issues with them). The classes that have step choreography are my least favorite (since step is not my thing), but thankfully, there's not that many! There are lots of metabolic-type workouts (that sometimes use the step and other equipment as props--which is fine in my book, but nothing like tons of equipment like some of her other w/o's include!), high/low cardio, HiiT, kickboxing (sometimes mixed with barre), weights, cycling, core and one of the classes even includes some yoga moves! Even Al and Amanda are in a couple classes which is cool, but the thing I like the most about Live is that Cathe is just so laid back and FUN!!! She relies on one of the participants (Debbie) that's in about every class who reminds me a lot of Cedie...always has the right count and doesn't miss a rep, to help her keep count. Cathe sometimes messes up the cueing or whatever, but I've grown to love the spontaneity of the classes and that they aren't so "polished". It just gives me more of a relaxed feeling when I'm working out with her. Just this morning I did Cathe's Low Impact HiiT Circuit Live workout in which I had lower energy and it also seemed Cathe had low energy as well (since she was walking around a lot instead of doing the reps with us). Ya don't see that on the RwH dvd's, or ANY of her dvd's for that matter, LOL!! Funny as it may seem, all the classes are different enough from each other that they're all FUN and not the same thing every week, IMO. Most classes range from 41 min. to 60 min. There's one class that's 71 min. I agree with Kathy G, I would love to have some of these classes put on a dvd!!! I guess one downfall of doing live classes instead of a dvd (as with any streaming site) would be that you don't have access to premixes or the option to play your own music. However, I made a note in my log of a few classes where she breaks to do heavy bag work, barre or the like that I can stop the class to add on a yoga workout or whatever, if I don't wish to do the whole thing, so YMMV. So far, adding Cathe Live to my streaming expenses has been worth every penny!! And I still don't have the desire to put it on hold!! Maybe in a month or two when I get more active outside I'll put it on hold, but I'm having a blast in the mean time! HTH! ETA: One of the gals on Cathe's forum posted this reference Live list which explains all the classes, equipment needed, etc. I found it very helpful even though it may not be totally up-to-date: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...A-A/edit?pli=1 |
