Thanks, adawn. You're the research guru!!
Tina I should clarify...Cathe never has a modifier in the workouts I use of hers. The only ICE I have is Chiseled upper body and don't use it often enough to remember any worthwhile mods offered. I have learned to modify with ideas from other trainers. If you need more ideas, there are plenty of people who use Cathe's workouts who modify.

I did the Metabolic Blast from ICE today and I think this workout is much more fun than the one from Lite series. I'm not sure exactly why.....maybe it's the mixture of the music with the moves that just gel with me. Cathe ques better in this one too. There's a couple spots where it could be better, but overall it's pretty good. The flow is excellent and Cathe puts in a lot of 'breather' spots, so it's easier than some of her other workouts. For some reason she seems sweaty and winded in this one when she barely breaks a sweat in some of her harder workouts. It must've been taped on a Monday. It's not distracting at all.....just an observation I made today.
Anyways, this is my 'go to' workout when I really don't feel like working out. I'm always glad I reached for this one, b/c it makes me sweat, it's low impact, and it's just plain fun. This workout would be pretty easy to modify just by lowering the amount of weight Cathe uses. I think what she uses is doable for an intermediate exerciser, but less weights can easily lower the intensity. This workout is not at a frantic pace at all, so I think it would be perfect for anyone wanting a less intense workout. Check out the clips she has on both workouts and maybe that will make the decision a bit easier for you.

I'm reviving this thread b/c I do like both Cathe's talked about in this thread. I have made modifications where needed. I've only used them a few times, and plan to use them more often.
I wasn't too much of a fan of KCM. But I'm glad I tried her. So, are there other Cathe's I should give a try besides these two? I'm not into working isolated body parts. I really am a compound/4 limb kind of gal. TIA ~

I like Cathe's PHA 1. It's not exactly 4 limbed, but it alternates lower and upper body moves. She does 12 reps of each exercise. There are 2 rounds consisting of 6 different exercises. You can repeat them as many times as you want.
