Cathe Friedrich's XTrain Series: 9 DVD Bundle set Review

I confess to having an addiction to acquiring workout DVDs I may or may not ever use! I bought this set used, but I'm not sure it had been. It came in perfect condition accompanied by a hand book. Like any self-respecting workout DVD addict, over a few days I sat down and watched each of the nine discs.

This program has nine complete workouts that can be used as part of Cathe's Xtrain program or as stand alone workouts. Each disc has several options that pop up in the main menu. All you have to do is choose your option and press play. The workout is seamlessly played. The sound quality is superb, the camera work very effective and thorough. Cathe's cuing is dead on, and she and her crew of workout partners show consistent good form. And they are really doing the work!

You will need equipment for this program. A stability exercise ball is an absolute must. (A note here: make sure you get the right size for your height.) Resistance bands, the kind with handles, in a couple different resistances are needed. Cathe uses a step bench with five risers per side. I only have four for mine and I am quite tall, so I may need to get a couple more. I use The Step and am pleased with it. Cathe also uses something she calls Firewalker bands which are closed elastic loops used around the calves or thighs for additional resistance in some exercises. She uses gliding discs under her feet in some work as well. I was unable to find the exact discs she uses but found that the large discs used for furniture moving work well. A pair of boxing gloves are recommended for the boxing workout. They aren't necessary, but, boy do they add to the effectiveness! The same disc has a workout with a heavy punching bag which I do not have, but it sure looks like fun. The mainstay equipment needed for this program are dumbbells. Lots of dumbbells. It seems unlikely that most of us have a tower of dumbbells in different weights in the corner of our livingroom. I use adjustable dumbbells by BowFlex. When choosing adjustable dumbbells for this program, it is important to get a set that can be very quickly adjusted and has a wide range of weights, because you will lift heavy on this program. For lighter weights, the BowFlex seem awkward to me, so I have separate sets in 5, 8, and 10 pounds. You can see that to have all the equipment for this program will set you back more than $600.00, but the truth is, most of us who have been working out at home have been acquiring these things for some time. And storage space requirement of all this equipment is actually quite minimal.

But the workouts....get to the workouts already! These discs are listed as being for the "advanced" level of fitness geek. I doubt that I am really advanced, but certainly this is not the program to start if this is your first foray into exercising. It is hard. Every single disc is hard. You will be sweating. You will get sore. You will get tired. But if you stick with it, you will get very strong. And your cardio endurance will skyrocket. And you will have fun. Because fun is a key component of this program. Cathe switches things up all the time. It is not boring in the least. Take, for example, the workout for biceps and triceps. Round after round of exercises just for your arms that switch from bicep to tricep and back again, each exercise just a little different from the last. Your arms are toasted. And then the next day you'll do one of the cardio workouts. You'll sweat and gasp and maybe reach for the remote pause button a few times. But there is a kind of beaming that comes from working that hard. If you choose to follow Cathe's 90 day program which is outlined in the handbook, you will work six days a week. Each day is 35-80 minutes of work. She has taken the guesswork out of what to do when, how much to do, what order exercises are done. It's a complete program.

So as a workout DVD acquisition addict, I am more than pleased with this set. While I do not follow the program exactly (I am also addicted to non-traditional forms of working out using kettlebells, sandbags, and battling ropes), I have found these DVDs easy to merge into my existing workouts. A good purchase for sure!
