Metabolic Blast is a total body workout that clocks in at under 41 minutes.  In this workout, Cathe targets the lower and upper body by combining moves into compound multi-joint exercises. Cathe uses relatively light weights with higher rep counts.  There are two sections, a standing segment which is around 25 minutes and a floor segment about 15 minutes in length.  The standing segment contains a lot of 4-limb movement.  The floor segment is primarily focused on core/abs. Cathe combines two compound exercises together. You will perform the group back to back for a couple of run-throughs and then you move to the next group of two compound exercises. The workout moves quickly and there is not much of a break between exercises.

Low Impact Cardio and Metabolic Conditioning were the next set of workouts I did as part of Cathe's FitSplit series. Low Impact Cardio contains a series of drill based athletic cardio moves. The rep count varies from exercise to exercise but for most exercises you are doing 2 sets - changing the lead side for the second set.  Last half of this workout uses a disc or rag. I typically don't care for Cathe's low impact workouts but this is by far my favorite of her low impact workouts (well not counting Low Impact Circuit - loved that workout as well). Metabolic Conditioning is an upper body lower body compound workout. There are some isolation exercises but for the most part Cathe combines exercises so you are working the lower and upper body at the same time. There is quite a bit of plank work and along with dumbbells you are using a gliding device.  This DVD has three basic premixes, four timesaver premixes, and 4 scrambled premixes.
