Cathe Friedrich's Low Impact Series: Total Body Tri-Sets Review

This versatile DVD is part of Cathe's Low Impact Series. The focus here is more on strength training, unlike most of the other DVDs in this series, which are cardio-focused. That being said, your heart rate will be elevated since you're moving quickly from one exercise to the next. I would categorize these workouts as more metabolic training than pure strength workouts.

There is an upper body workout(60 minutes) and a Lower Body Workout(40 minutes), plus various premixes.

UPPER BODY

Here you also do 3 sets of exercises, one for each body part. The workout it split between sets for chest, shoulders and triceps and sets for back, biceps and core. This is also one tough workout! I couldn't come close to matching Cathe on the weights, even though I consider myself to be an advanced exerciser. Oh well, it's something to work towards.

What I enjoyed about this workout:

**It's tough! My heart rate was up there for the entire workout.

**The unique exercises. Even though I normally don't like pushups, I enjoyed the one foot cross-over pushups. Of course, I didn't look very elegant doing these, but they were fun.

Some things to note about this workout:

**The `screaming guitar' music may not be for everyone. I kind of liked it because it reminded me of the music in the Beachbody P90X and P90X2 workouts. I love P90X and am always inspired to give it my all. I felt the same with these workouts.

**Cathe spends an inordinate amount of time talking about form. This is a good thing, but she's doing it just as we have picked up a heavy weight, in preparation for the next exercise. Perhaps she does this on purpose, so we can build up endurance. I just found it annoying and usually started the exercise.

LOWER BODY

You do three rounds of exercises. Each round is 3 different exercises, done two times through. Even though this workout is only 40 minutes, it's tough!

What I loved about Lower Body:

**The unique and fun exercises. There are lunges with Dixie cups (picking them up and placing them down). My favorite is the one-legged cross lunges, where you're standing on one leg, holding 2 dumb bells and alternatively putting down and picking up the dumb bells. I quickly discovered that my balance is not as good as I thought it was.

**The compound exercises that also get your heart rate up. The static lunges with the Dixie cups are one such example.

**I felt energized and really worked out after finishing, but I wasn't exhausted.

I prefer to do heavy weight training using splits, e.g. I like doing only one or two body parts per day. That way I can lift really heavy. I'm not sure how this DVD will fit into my rotations, but I still enjoyed it. There are premixes for these types of splits too.

If you're looking for a fun and versatile workout, you may enjoy this one.
