Favorite new Cathe DVD?

Sandi M · 11-14-06, 01:03 PM

I don't know if this thread already exists, and if so, please point me to it. I'm assuming that all preorders have been received, and many of you have tried some portion of all the workouts.

What is your favorite of the new Cathe's, and why?

Mine is BodyMax2. The step work is fun, the strength work is to the point, and the abs workout is thorough. Cathe and crew seem like they are really enjoying themselves. I love the brown/turquoise combo (I even went out and bought a turquoise top to wear with my brown pants).

I'm not sure if I'll get to do the full workout very often, but the premixes will be fun to try over the next few weeks.

I love all five. I truly do. And my favorite changes daily, but I'd have to say Body Max 2. The cardio is so fun, the premixes are genius, and I love that the upper body work is so effective for being so short.

Cardio Fusion, Drill Max, Butts & Guts, and Low Impact Circuit are truly close seconds, imho.

I really, really like this series.

I guess Body Max 2 is, but it's a hard call because I love all of them except for Drill Max. I think I like Body Max the most because it is so versatile, but Butts & Guts is super excellent too and so is LIC.

I am very happy with this new collection!!! I think Cathe did a wonderful job!

I like LIC the best because she keeps it low impact, but it's still a vigorous workout. However, the music in Body Max 2 is a lot better. I too, like them all.

I have only tried Body max 2, Cardio Fusion, and Low Impact Step. I have not opened the others. I plan to sell them. I have not done any workout in its entirety.
My favorite so far is Body Max 2. I think it has fun choreography and the music is better than LIC, in my opinion. I like the abs from LIC better, however.
I'm curious to see how many people say Drill Max is their favorite as it does not seem to have as many positive reviews.

Body Max2 is my favorite. I really, really disliked Drill Max. Enough that I couldn't finish it...twice. I seem to be in the minority on that one though. Overall I'm not taken with this series.

My favorite is a cross between Body Max2 and Drill Max -LIC is next then B&G

I can't decide yet.
-- I like BM2 because it's such a solid workout
-- I have so much fun with DM; I like functional-type exercises
-- but I desperately need hamstring work & B&G certainly delivers! I think this one is my favorite

gigi · 11-14-06, 04:22 PM

Hard to say, but if I HAD to choose today:
Cardio Fusion, Butts & Guts, BM 2, DM with LIC coming in as a close second....I really can't decide!!!

Tough question! I think if I had to choose, I'd say BodyMax 2 is my favorite. If you do it as presented, you feel like such a workout stud! If you don't have that kind of time or energy, there are great premix options. I also love Butts & Guts, but I'm a sick person who enjoys long, challenging leg workouts. I thought Drill Max was a great workout - different from most of what I have. I like LIC, too. It gave me an excellent workout without beating up my knees too bad. I know I'll like them all a lot better when I get my replacement DVDs - I'm having all the freezing/sound problems everyone has mentioned.
