Cathe Friedrich's High Reps |
 So Glad I Bought This |
| I really was thinking a long time about which weight dvd I wanted next. My go to weight workout is the Gym Style series, but I really needed something new. And didn't want to burn myself out on Gym Style. I also want a workout where I can easily pick muscle groups. I typically don't like to work the whole body in one day. So, I was looking for one that could be easily broken up.
I am so glad I got this dvd. I love the fact that they move fast between exercises. Some days I like something slow paced but I also want to be able to get a muscle group done fast when I am pressed for time. This workout does it. And I think it is tough. As for the music, I happen to love it. I love most of Cathe's music, my favorites being LIC and Low Max.....but this was great as well and much more modern.
I am so glad I got this and can give the Gym Style Series a rest and pull this one heavily into rotation. - posted by Kristen on 4/6/2012 |

| Love this workout |
| I recently converted a small room in my house that was not being used into a workout room. This workout does not "move around the room" a lot; good for those with limited space. As another reviewer said, each song works a different muscle group to exhaustion (if you do it correctly). I really like it; my heart rate goes up and my muscles stay sculpted and toned. Great for those days when I'm late for the gym but still want to get an effective workout before my day begins. I recommend it for those who take other resistance classes and want something just as effective. - posted by Lisa on 3/7/2012 |

| Hits EVERY major muscle group |
| I have done a few of Cathe's weights-only workouts, and this is another excellent weights-only workout! Cathe's cuing and pointers on form are perfect. You can tailor the weights to your fitness level. I love how she uses the exercise band with weights! There's not much transition time between the exercises for different body parts, but it's manageable. I'd like to see her produce a video that's just as intense and comprehensive, that hits every major muscle group, but is shorter -- 50 minutes, 55 minutes. - posted by Stacey on 12/15/2011 |

 Love the workout but....... |
| I hate the music in this workout it is really really really bad. Cathe usually has really great music in her workouts so I don't know what happened to her. The music was a really bad choice. - posted by Mark on 11/18/2011 |

| Boring |
| If you are looking for a challenge that isn't fun then this is the workout for you. I just cant connect with Cathe. The workout is just too serious and in order for me to stick to a workout it has to be challenging and FUN too. The endless pulse counting bored me to tears. I found it stale. - posted by Linda on 10/18/2011 |

| works it good |
| Good all-over body work - the nine segments consists of legs (2), shoulders, back, biceps, triceps, disc lunges, chest and abs. I was looking for something like the old Jari workouts and this works nicely; I felt the burn many times. This was my first use of a "disc" - I used a paper plate - and it is indeed effective. As usual, great premixes for when you have less time, or want to mix it up, or just want to work upper or lower. I did think Cathe looked a bit odd at times, heavy lidded with an immovable forehead - perhaps she needs to lay off the botox? - posted by Susan W. on 10/15/2011 |

| great toning DVD |
| Great total body toning DVD. The high reps performed in each segment are very effective. For upper body, there are, for the most part, 3 exercises per muscle group; for instance, 3 different shoulder exercises, 3 biceps, etc. so boredom doesn't kick in. Lower body involves lots of squats, some stationary lunges, and sliding disk work which is a great break from the weights. Ab segment is quick but effective. Also love the use of the band in some of the exercises... gives a different kind of deep burn than heavy weights. No step or ball required, which I prefer; just weights and the resistance band. - posted by liz on 8/11/2011 |

| Have done this workout a lot! |
| This is the total body workout that I reach for again and again. If you like Cathe's Muscle Max or Muscle Endurance dvd's, then I think you will like this workout. If you are looking for something heavier, like STS, then you should try STS Total Body. My body responds better to higher rep/lower weight workouts, and High Reps fits the bill exactly. I like the format of focusing on one muscle per song. The hour flies by and once I figured out the right weight to use for each muscle, I can really have fun while exhausting my muscles. Doing at least one total body, high rep workout per week helps keep my body lean and toned. Love it! - posted by Bobbi on 5/31/2011 |

| great full body workout |
| this is a great intense workout done as a whole. the lower body only premix is lower intensity, good for a shorter low intensity workout. - posted by sara on 5/3/2011 |

| Great workout |
| I'm an advanced exerciser, and can definitely say that this one burns! Efficient use of time, and doesn't leave anything out. Worth owning, for sure. - posted by jocelyn on 4/21/2011 |
