Cathe Friedrich's Core Max DVD

I watched CATHE doing her routine on TV and thought it'd be nice not to have to deal with commercials. I really like her workouts and this CD series is set up nicely in three separate segments....on mat only, with stability ball & with stability ball and a medicine ball. All three segments provide a serious core challenge. The CD provides an intro so that you know what each segment will be like. You can then chose the type of workout you want. All definitely provide a serious core workout! I thought the workout on the mat was going to be the easiest... wrong! She makes you use those core muscles to their optimum. I personally like using the stability ball with the medicine ball segment on the days I do my weight workout...gives me a sense of doing a well rounded routine. It's tough, but well worth the effort.

I've had this DVD for about two years, and, out of over 125 workout DVD's that I own, this is my absolute favorite ab workout. I never get sick of doing the workouts on here because of Cathe's wonderful personality and encouraging attitude.When I do the workouts on here on a regular basis, I also notice fewer lower back aches and pains. Cathe really works not just your abs, but your entire core -- the entire abdominal region, as well as the lower back.The three workouts are definitely advanced, but you can modify, and they require the use of a stability ball and a medicine ball.Highly recommended!

Great challenging ab workout. I work out regularly and I ended up cussing out the tape on how hard it was and she wasn't giving me a break. Lol, so that kinda told me it's a good DVD and I have something to strengthen on. Each session is 20 min. so I"d recommend including other body parts to work out but when your in a pinch for time it 's great too.

Amazing work out for the abs. She keeps you motivated for challenges, but also provides easier versions of the exercises. I only have time to complete this dvd once a week, but it keeps my abs pretty toned.

These ab workouts are amazing. Be ware, if you want to follow all 3 workouts. You'll need to buy a workout ab ball and a 8 or 10 pound ball. You can also start with a gallon if milk filled with water if you'd like to save money.

I remember this workout when I subscribed to Cable TV. I recorded this on my antique VHS player and it got all chewed up. Not having cable anymore, I discovered this DVD on line and couldn't wait to buy it and start using it again. Again, it's very challenging and if you do not want a difficult challenge, this is not for you. I like a challenge, and Cathe's Core Max will definitely give it to you. It's tough, but that's what I like.

If you want flat abs/ a srtong core this dvd will help you get them! Cathe is personable and professional; you'd be hard pressed to find a better instructor. There are three different sections on this dvd, and all three are challenging (two sections use the balance ball). You will get great results quicly if you use CORE MAX regularly. I highly recommend!

This video really works your core!!!
