Cathe's DVD Multi-Pack Contains 9 Workouts on 7 DVDs:
This discount bundle contains all 9 Ripped With HiiT workouts on 7 DVDs all enclosed in one protective case.
Ripped with HIIT
combines three solid heavy weight workouts (on three separate DVDs), four solid cardio-based HiiT high-intensity workouts (on two DVDs), and two circuit Hiit workouts (on two DVDs). Why all the focus on HiiT training? Studies suggest that HiiT training is better at burning fat than other forms of cardiovascular training. Researchers believe this is because the body is unable to really predict what you're going to do and, therefore, has a harder time going into what is known as steady-state where its easy to conserve energy (calories). Another contributing factor is that HiiT revs up your metabolism, increasing the rate at which your body consumes oxygen for up to 24 hours after your workout (the afterburn effect you've heard me talk about so many times before).
The Ripped with HIIT
series has been designed by me to produce the maximum amount of results in as short of a time as I feel possible. While my goal for this series is to keep the workouts as time-efficient as possible (most coming in at 47 minutes or less), the length of a workout is not nearly as important as the intensity of the workout. When it comes to producing changes and results in your body intensity is what these workouts are all about. All workouts will feature premixes and you will have the option of even doing time-saving single muscle group premixes with each of the upper body Lift it Hit it workouts.
OK, I'm getting a little ahead of myself here. Let me back up a bit and share the sweaty details of each workout in my new Ripped with HIIT
series with you.

Lift It HiiT It Legs DVD
This intense lower body workout is based on a technique called contrast training. This method kick starts muscle growth by shocking your muscles into recruiting additional high threshold muscle fibers thereby increasing strength and lean body mass. In this workout, you'll do a weighted exercise followed by an explosive plyometric exercise for several rounds to stimulate muscle growth in the lower body. This workout is sure to help you break through plateaus and recharge your lower body workout routine. For best results, take a few rest days between all contrast training sessions to allow proper recovery time and avoid unnecessary overuse risks. Ready to give this workout a go? Let's HiiT it!
