Sports reviews of Cathe Friedrich's STS Shock Cardio: Travel Fit DVD
Customer Review: A solid band workout! Cathe has another hit on her hands!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This for me is the first DVD from Cardio STS that have purchased and I have to say that I love it! Travel Fit is a total body band workout that keeps the heart elevated while giving the best muscle conditioning exercise in under 1 hour (50 mins start to finish). Cathe is ever the professional in this DVD as always but I find in this workout she out does herself. Unlike other Cathe DVDs, which I have owned several dozen of, she gives modification tips in this workout. From what I can gather, she does the same in several other Cardio STS DVDs. Modifications include various positions and movement execution tips for those that are:
* "Not as advanced"/strong as Cathe and her Crew (that is the quote I heard twice in the DVD)
* Tips for those with weak core muscles, low back issues, and neck issues (ab work)
Another bonus with this DVD is that it's easy on the knees. I've had 2 knee surgeries in the past year and I was fine. She also doesn't do overkill with squats and lunges which can happen with In-home Strength/Workout DVDs. She trains your backside very well which is another plus as many DVDs and instructors fail to address the backside (shoulders thru low back); thus leaving your back undertrained and weak with sloping and rounded shoulders. Oh not this DVD...OUCH! Triceps and the back are very well worked and I found several of the exercises to be new for me with regards to using a band. Thumbs Up for some creativity here! Cardio STS features instrumental music which is not common in her DVDs. However, the music was great and very upbeat. It definitely kept me going through the burn allowing me to concentrate on my form and pace. The "Cardio" aspect of this DVD comes from 2 things: Compound movements (upper and lower working at the same time) as well as 3-1 minute cardio bursts. The bursts are not balls to the wall, drop dead bursts, but just enough to get the heart rate back up there and to give the legs more conditioning as she thankfully limits the lunges and squats. if you include the 4-5 minute warm up, there is 7-8 minutes of actual cardio out of a 50 minute DVD.
This is a great DVD to not only travel with, but to help switch up the variety in your strength routine. This is a band workout unlike any other on the market and it's a definite keeper in my collection. I am an intermediate Exerciser trying to get myself back into the Advanced arena and found this to be solid, heart-pumping workout. If you are an avid Cathe user, you will find this to be a great light day or moderate workout. I would rate this Intermediate/Advanced as I could not complete all of the reps and do all of the non-modified poses. If you, like me, are trying to get back into the habit of using Cathe's Advanced productions on a regular basis OR if you're looking into segwaying into her more strenuous strength workous (Gym Styles and Muscle Max are great), this is a great way to prepare for such things. This DVD after only 1 use is now on my Favorite List! 6 hours post-workout and my abs, legs, shoulders, and back are REALLY feeling this! Much better than most strength DVDs I own currently including the Firm! That says a lot considering you only use 1 light weight band!!
