Cathe FitSplit Shred Cardio & Push Day - Thoughts

Shred Cardio and Push Day are two workouts that come with Cathe's FitSplit series.

Shred Cardio is a step blast workout. The workout starts out with a brisk warm up performed using a step.  Then come the blasts. There are 12 blasts and the blasts vary in intensity. Each blast is a mini drill performed using high intensity moves. You are working on the step, off the step, over the step and around the step. The reps vary but what I found is that for the super high intensity moves you are doing 6 reps per round and most blast had two rounds.

There's lots of jumping but Cathe does show how to modify some moves.  Some of the moves you will see are power 3s, power 15, plyo jacks, squat thrust, wide jumps, and swimmers.

Push Day is the strength workout.  In this workout you are working chest, triceps, shoulders, calves  and quadriceps. The exercises are performed as supersets and for most exercises you are doing three sets.  Cathe reduces the number of reps as you move through the sets.  The workout uses  several sets of dumbbells, a barbell, mat and a step.




This DVD has  3 basic premixes, 6 timesaver premixes, and 4 scrambled premixes.  The workouts I did were Just Shred Cardio (29:01) and Just Push Day (32:02).  Both of these workouts come from the timesaver premixes and both workouts have a warm up and cool down.

Shred Cardio - 3 & 3/4 stars
Push Day - 3 stars
