Refurbished Fitness Equipment: Cathe Friedrich's STS Shock Cardio Bundle Deal: 9 DVDs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This workout series was initially billed as an "advanced, intense cardio workout series."In reality, it is a mix of intensities.While some of the workouts are advanced, some are not.

I've reviewed all these individually (see each DVD Amazon listing for details).For those workouts I liked, I gave each 5 stars, for those workouts I didn't like, I gave them 2 or 3 starts.That's why I'm rating the series as a whole only 3 stars.

The workouts I love:

**MMA Fusion
**Cardio Core Circuit
**HiiT
**Circuit Blast
**Travel Fit
**MMA Boxing.

Why I love these workouts:

**they're very intense and what I expect from Cathe
**they're fun
**Cathe is her usual energetic and enthusiastic self
**they'll give you a great workout in under an hour.

The workouts I don't like:

**MMA Kickbox
**Athletic Step
**Step Moves.

Why I don't like these workouts:

**they're not at all intense.My heart rate doesn't even get into the low end of my aerobic range.
**the music is uninspiring.
**they're not fun; probably because the music is so blah.
**Cathe is very subdued and even she doesn't look like she's having fun.
**Excruciatingly long warm up and NO cool down.Since these are low intensity, a long warm-up is not needed. At the end of the workouts, Cathe says, "okay, cool down on your own and then come back for the stretch."No, I won't cool down on my own. She could have cut 2 minutes from the warm-up and used that time for the cool down.

It is a better deal to buy the Shock Cardio DVDs as a set, but you may not like them all.I suggest reading the detailed descriptions and reviews of each DVD and then deciding what to buy.
