Cathe Friedrich's XTrain Burn Sets Exercise Workout DVD
for women and men - This complete upper body strength training
workout consists of two traditional upper body, heavy weight
workouts: Chest, Back & Shoulders, and Bi's & Tri's. This at-home
exercise DVD also contains options for working individual muscle
groups if you want a specific muscle focus or need a shorter
workout. In Burn Sets you'll work each muscle group in its
entirety before moving on to the next. You'll do three sets for
most exercises with a goal of around 10 reps for your first and
second sets. On your third set, you'll always lift to failure.
After your third set, you'll do a Burn Set finisher to really
feel the muscles heat up. You'll need to use heavy weights in
this XTrain workout for it to be most effective. If your selected
weight is too heavy or too light during your first or second set
simply grab a more appropriate weight for any remaining sets,
making sure that you lift to failure on your third set. Lifting
to failure is perhaps the most important requirement for
developing strong and toned muscles. If you're ready to build the
arms that you've always wanted, this DVD will help you see
amazing results!
This DVD also includes a bonus core segment to target and tone
your midsection, as well as 15 additional premixes with various
time options and more workout variety.

About the Actor
---------------
Before there was Zumba, Tae Bo, Spinning or even Step
Aerobics, fitness video pioneer Cathe Friedrich recognized the
need to provide a simple, flexible, affordable and motivating way
for Americans to exercise and stay fit. Nearly thirty years and
over 200 home exercise workouts later, hundreds of thousands of
people have credited Cathe Friedrich for helping them to
transform their bodies and their lives with her videos and
television shows. Like going through life with a friend, Cathe s
followers have grown in their workouts as she has learned and
expanded her video offerings, staying focused on her three
guiding principles: Professionalism, Passion, and Quality. Cathe
is often credited with being the first to bring advanced fitness
videos to the home exerciser and helped to shatter the theory
that only celebrities could star in fitness videos. As a
long-time Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Cathe has taught
countless classes at her New Jersey club and has helped
train many of today s top instructors. Since 1986, Cathe has been
certified through the American Council on Exercise. Additional
specialty fitness certifications include: Indoor Cycling, Body
Pump, Kickboxing, Boxing, Prenatal Fitness, Resist-A-Ball,
YogaFit, and more. In 2011, Cathe was inducted into the Fitness
Hall of Fame along side other profound leaders, such as Arnold
Schwartzenegger, Richard Simmons and Kathy Smith. As a leading
innovator in the home exercise video industry, she founded Step N
Motion Videos in 1988 and in 1989, created one of the first step
aerobic videos. Cathe continues to produce fun, intense, and
challenging workouts for all body types and fitness levels. Her
award-winning workouts have been featured in The New York Times,
Wall Street Journal, Dallas News, Fox Business News, NBC Nightly
News, CBS News, QVC and the Philadelphia Inquirer. and
fitness writers have published articles about her in Shape,
Oxygen, Self, , Fit, Consumer Digest and Fitness magazines.
While appearing on Fox Business News, Cathe shared the story of
how she began in the fitness business. At 16, she took an
aerobics class and three weeks later, Cathe was asked to teach it
and was hooked. A few years later, she was teaching a creative
movement class at a fitness studio on the top floor of Carnegie
Hall, where she used fourteen inch benches as part of her
workout. At the same time, Step Reebok was launching what is now
known as step aerobics to the world. Cathe incorporated step into
her philosophy, creating her first video, Step N Motion One,
which was also one of the first and most influential step aerobic
videos of its time. Today, her fitness empire includes all types
of workouts and is one of the largest privately-owned fitness
video libraries in the world. Collage Video, a source for
exercise videos since 1987, says this about Cathe on their web
site: Since the early 1990s, Cathe Friedrich s videos have set
the standard for challenging workouts. Cathe Friedrich s workout
video technique is excellent; her cuing style is very direct.
These exercise videos will challenge even the elite athlete! The
Dallas Morning News wrote: To say that Cathe Friedrich workout
videos are tough is like saying Everest slopes upward. Discovery
Channel s FitTV, where Cathe s workouts aired for seven seasons
nationally, declared: Cathe is one of the most popular trainers
on our network. She is a power-intense cardio-buster, a punch and
crunch trainer. Always on the cutting edge, Cathe recognized the
power of the internet and was the first to sell fitness videos
online in 1997. Today, Cathe Dot Com is one of the largest and
most-visited fitness websites and Cathe s pioneering work in this
area has inspired other instructors to market and promote their
own fitness videos in a similar fashion.
