Certified instructor description: A genuinely challenging program that combines gliding-disc cardio with multi-muscle body-sculpting. No jumps or hops, this workout burns fat and sculpts your body without stressing your knees or back. The aerobic segments are tough — Cathe blends fast-paced, low-to-the-ground movements with lots of repetition (while utilizing the gliding discs to maximize the range of motion). The toning segments feature a balanced mix of compound exercises; they work your body in all three planes: front, back and side-to-side (many of these moves use the discs too). Cathe also includes some innovative exercises like "air squats" and "Dixie cup lunges." Requires 3 to 10 lb. dumbbells and gliding discs (paper plates will work). ©2011. DVD has: 6 premixes (32 to 75 min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Cathe Friedrich's AfterBurn

Intense
I love this workout. It's tough. I am restricted from doing high impact exercise, but this really gets my heart rate up. I want more workouts like this one. - posted by Kathleen on 5/10/2012
Burn baby burn
This workout will make you sweat!!! Cathe uses your body in so many different ways to get you strong, lean, sculpted and sweaty. I used paper plates on the carpet and it was fine, some of the weights were too heavy so I modified. If I needed to stop and breathe, I did. After doing the workout several times....sure enough it got better and so did I!! Cathe is worth it and this DVD is a must for anyone who wants a challenging workout! Her cueing is great and I appreciate seeing Cathe gasp for air at times!! Great total body!! - posted by Peg on 5/10/2012

Great video!!
Awesome video, and I liked it better the 2nd time I did it. Great workout! - posted by Kathy on 5/3/2012
Didn't know low impact can be so tough!
This video will get your blood pumping. Low impact but tough and I really liked how it was easy on your joints. And I used paper plates, because I didn't have the disks. And that was a challenge. I actually liked doing the traditional moves with the paper plates even better than without. - posted by mary on 4/27/2012
Excellent Workout...
I wanted to try this workout since I had previously hurt my knee and it was recommended by very helpful Collage consultant to try. I have to say it is one of the hardest workouts I had ever done (and I do other Cathe workouts and Michelle Dozois). This was TOUGH! There is a lot of squats and lunges (with weights) and repetitions are supercharged!! I was sore for three days after the workout. The pace is quick which is great. The gliders are easy to learn (I work out on carpet and got the gliders made for carpet from Collage). They are also fun to use and break up the workout. They actually make you push faster when doing mountain climbers and other exercises. I loved this workout and recommend it for all advanced exercisers as an weekly option when you want to minimize the jumping and the force put on the knees and legs. - posted by Laurie on 4/19/2012
Good Low Impact Alternative
I definitely appreciate having a low impact alternative. Some of the moves are very tough. The cardio segments are a bit repetitive, and I would like a little more ab work. However, overall, it is a great workout for those who want to avoid high impact workouts. - posted by Marie on 4/12/2012
Great! (And a possible solution for wrist pain)
Cathe proves that low-impact does NOT equal easy! I was huffing and puffing, my legs shaking like a jello mold, and having a GREAT time. There are a lot of planks, so if you suffer from wrist pain there are a couple things you can try: you can buy a pair of wrist wedges, which generally go for about $20, or there are wrist support gloves that have gel padding in the palms. You can also try using "fists for wrists," in which you make a fist and put the weight on the lower outside halves of your fingers, palms facing each other (like a gorilla, lol!). - posted by Alyssa on 4/2/2012
Good low impact cardio BUTone major problem for me
If you want very intense cardio workout that is not hard on your knees then this is definitely a good choice. But I had one major problem with this workout. In this workout Cathe does a lot of different exercises where you are in a plank position supporting your body weight on your hands. So after I did this workout my wrists were hurting me for 2 days. - posted by Boe on 4/1/2012
My new favorite!!!!!
This is a great workout! Don't let low impact fool you, it is a real challenge! I am sweating by the end of the first interval. I am used to challenging workouts by Jari, Michelle and Cathe, but recently can not do high impact moves because of issues with my knees and ankles. I am so glad to have found a challenging workout without having to jump! It is fast paced and fun. I love the premixes as well. Even the shorter premixes are a real challenge. Thanks Cathe!! - posted by Kim on 3/30/2012

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Premixes
X
These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Wide screen
X
The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
