Thank you FIT TV!!!! When did this happen? I am so psyched right now, I can't wait until I come home from work today to do Cathe's legs and shoulders! What a treat! Probably sounds crazy to you, but this is such a life changing event for me. Thanks for bringing Cathe and Gilad into my home in the evenings. You're the best!

I love Cathe too. She is great, no matter what is on that day she makes me burn and work hard.

It's always interesting to me when folks write about what kinds of workouts and instructors appeal to them, but I'll NEVER understand how anyone could prefer Gilad to Cathe Friedrich. She is the only one on Fit TV's regular programming who treats exercise and strength training seriously, who respects her audience enough to challenge them. Take a look at the women on Gilad's show, and their workout attire! Take a good look at those decorative little weights. Does anyone really believe that the women get those bodies with that kind of training???? The group that trains with Cathe uses hex weights heavy enough to fatigue the muscle group in the set. If you aren't working to fatigue the muscle group, you're not getting a benefit. Her ab/core work, too, is really effective, and she doesn't yell like a drill instructor. She's the best.

Very true rosaluxe, I know when i am pressed for time i do a Gilad workout, but i always have to us heavery weights. Now when i have time i do Cathe. She is GREAT...I had to go get more weight so i could do the workout and get a good burn. But if you are just starting out Gilad would be good to do.

Yey Cathe! I have to agree -- her workouts are the most "for real." Well rehearsed and coordinated, serious cardio and weight training, very little motivational B.S. The only problem is that her cardio workouts are really too intense to do with commercial interruptions. I usually tape them, which works well, but it would be nice if she had an actual show designed for TV, with a little bit of a cool-down before the breaks. (I did notice that there's been something of an attempt to "adapt" some of her workouts for FitTV by telling viewers what to do during the commercials. A little bit lame, but better than nothing.)

I just saw Cathe's Chest and Back program. I hope to see it scheduled for other days. I like her style very much!

I couldn't agree more!!! She is the best training instructor going! You can feel sure that you will feel as though you really used your time effectively with her workouts! I almost had a panic attack when the TV scheduling changed over the Thanksgiving week. Her 11am workouts were replaced with other programs. That is MY TIME to workout with Cathe! I would probably NOT tune in again to FitTv if they would have canceled her in that time frame!

You hit the nail on the head, Rosaluxe. Cathe is the best fitness instructor for intense workouts on TV!! You truly feel as though you have used your limited workout time effectively with her! I almost had a panic attack over Thanksgiving week. FitTV made scheduling changes for the 11am time frame. That is MY TIME to workout each day!!I thought that they canceled her time slot. But the next week they go back to regular scheduling. Whew!! I would probably not tune in to FitTV ever again if they removed Cathe from that time frame! I am a "faithful Friedrich follower"!!!
