Certified instructor description: The toughest lower-body/abs program ever. It features a huge variety of exercises and equipment (if this doesn’t give you shapely legs and “six pack” abs, nothing will). Cathe uses every possible variation of proven body-sculpting moves (e.g. squats: regular, pulsing, one-legged, weighted). You’ll begin with standing routines focused on your glutes (large, hard-to-work muscles that Cathe manages to totally fatigue). Then it’s classic floorwork like lying inner leg lifts, hydrants and side leg lifts on a stability ball. Finally, on to the abwork that integrates hand and ankle weights to maximize intensity (for more abwork, there’s a bonus 15-minute stability ball ab program). Also has shorter “premixed” workouts. Some vocal music. Requires 3 to 15 lb. dumbbells, ankle weights, a barbell, stability ball, 6-foot resistance band and a 14" high step. ©2006. DVD has: 4 premixes (48 to 65-min. alternate workouts), Programmable chapters.

Cathe Friedrich's Butts & Guts
Good Workout!
If you want a full lower body work out, this is a great dvd. I'm glad I added to my workouts. Easy to follow and really fatigues the muscles. - posted by karen on 3/1/2012

Butts and Guts
Let's just say that they are now both very sore. Excellent workout. Tough and effective. - posted by CJ on 2/16/2012

kathy has great workouts
great workout - posted by krista on 2/2/2012

Great but long
Great workout! I'm in shapte, and could barely finish! Only downside, is the DVD is too long if you don't break the segments up! - posted by Kat on 11/16/2011

kicks butt
I was doing p90x but was disappointed with the leg exercises. I felt no burn at all. I love this workout. Kicks my butt and I enjoy it. Was sore after my first workout for several days. - posted by sheila on 10/17/2011

if you want it, you gotta earn it!
This is a great workout to burn out your lower body and get a good calorie burn too. Only negative is you have to drag out a bunch of equipment (step, risers, stability ball, ankle weights, dumbbells). The leg work on the floor is killer. The cueing is great and the music is really good too. I am very glad I bought this and will use it many times in the future! - posted by Sierra on 10/7/2011

GREAT workout DVD
If you're looking for a workout that works the entire lower-body excluding the lower back - and with a decent cardio component at that - you're able to squeeze in about an hour, Butts & Guts is for you. Cathe's great at cuing, the moves are challenging but not impossible, and there's no dread factor. - posted by Marie on 8/16/2011

Butts and Gutts
Great workout video. She is fantastic and an excellent trainer. - posted by Sharon on 8/3/2011

butts and guts!!
OMG-jello legs after this one-its definitely a keeper!! - posted by Sharon on 7/2/2011

This really is a must have!
This is one of my very favorite workouts, and I have quite a few (in the 200s). Yes it is tough but not impossible. Choose the weights appropriate for you and you can grow with this. Cathe's workouts are so great with all the options. I LOVE the floor work along with the FIREWALKERS! You do use a fair bit of equipment but it's nothing I didn't have anyway. You don't actually have to have all that stuff to get a great workout. Love this one. - posted by Melissa on 5/4/2011

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

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.

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.

Premixes

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.

Programmable chapters

At the beginning of your workout, you can select the exact segments you want to play that day. The DVD will then play all those segments in the order you chose.

Level

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.

Toning emphasis

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.

Muscle Toning

Definition: Slow, controlled movements working against resistance (e.g. dumbbells, a band or just your own body weight). Includes Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: Builds lean muscles. Increases your metabolism. Makes everyday activities easier.
