I honestly hope you do like it. :sun::sun:

I loved the looks of this one upon preview. I plan to do it today.

I think I was expecting it to be more on the ground and relaxing. It started out standing and then doing some side lunges and all I wanted to do was sit down :p.

I also tried the mobility workout today, and I loved it! I plan to make this part of my weekly routine. I haven't tried any of the other workouts yet.

I did the Upper Body + Upper Body Bonus Premix. I liked that the bonus exercises were incorporated into the workout and not just tacked onto the end. I like this for the same reason I liked the lower body workout:
1. A variety of exercises done at a heavier weight without several sets or many reps of the same exercises.
2. The length of the workout.
3. It felt refreshing and a little bit different.
4. You can work up to heavier weights.

I needed ALL my weights from 3's to 30's on this one.

I also did the Low Impact HiiT and I liked it. It moved fast. There are not too many sets or reps of the same moves.

I also tried Mobility Basics. I enjoyed the music and it was nice to have time to flow a bit instead of rushing through static stretches. It felt good but you are still working. It felt good to do this coming off of a workout. If I did this cold, I may not be warmed up enough.

Thoughts on High and Low Hiit and the Yoga:

I did the low impact HiiT the other day and was disappointed by the level of intensity. It is well-paced and a great production, but I felt like the drills were sort of more-of-the-same that are available in other videos/premixes... and my HR did not exceed 130 bpm (my threshold is 151) on any of the intervals.

When I did the High Impact this morning, I was prepared not to be as challenged as by other Cathe HiTs, but I was pleasantly surprised! Definitely a good, solid high intensity workout.

I also have completed the yoga section and was not enthralled. It's ok. I feel like there are a lot of better yoga options out there for 20-30 minutes.

The core bonus was easy. :)

These criticisms aside, I am soooo grateful and stunned by Cathe's professionalism and production. She is inventive and, IMO, the best video instructor out there. I've been with her since 1998.

Oh no! Joni O did a Joni O! :D

I did Cathe's Low Impact HIIT this morning and found it fresh and fun! She had several new moves in it plus some agility drills. My heartrate stayed in the 130's - 140's which is really good for a steady state cardio for me.

I'm going to try the High Impact HIIT but do lower impact substitutions. My knees just can't handle too much jumping anymore but I enjoy her workouts a lot and just make it work for me. ;):heart:

Totally agree with you! She's my favorite instructor by far! And I've also been doing her workouts since 1999 or there about.... :sun:

I love Cathe - she was my first venture out into the worlds of step and strength after starting off my vidiocy with a year of nothing but Taebo. I have ALL her workouts.

However, I did 20 minutes of her High Impact and couldn't make it to the end because I could not stand the idea of doing one more burpee/squat thrust. There was just.so.many. It was like 3/4 of the the workout, supplemented by air jack after air jack after tuck jump. I wish she had thrown in some boxing moves and other cardio moves. Even mountain climbers (maybe they were there in the last 10 minutes, I dunno).

Now that I KNOW this is the case, I might someday do the workout again, mentally prepared. Maybe. I agree that it packs a good strong HIIT workout in 30 minutes; I just prefer, say, a TurboJam style HIIT for 30 minutes if I'm going to get constant variations on the same move.
