WIN! $100 @cathe Download voucher - DG 9th Birthday Sell Out Day 9
January 26, 2010
It's the final day of the Dietgirl 9th Birthday Sell Out and today's prize is a biggun!
The prize: One $100 USD voucher for Cathe Downloads.
Available to readers from: Worldwide
What the heck is it?
Home fitness guru Cathe Friedrich recently released her entire 150+ workout catalogue in digital format, so you can watch your downloads on any computer or video-enabled mobile device, like an iPod.
Why do you dig it?
If you've been reading this blog for any length of time you may recall I like working out from home and Cathe is my favourite loungeroom arsekicker. I wrote a comprehensive review of Cathe Downloads back in November, so you can read all about it here, including a list of my favourite Cathe workouts. Or you might want to step back to the beginning and download some Step N Motion, circa 1989!
Leave a comment below to enter! This prize is open to readers anywhere and everywhere. Entries close Wednesday 3 February 2010 at 12.00 GMT. Winner will be chosen at random.

Woo hoo! Love the old school style of that screenshot. I prefer to pretend it´s the 80s when I exercise.
7 · Posted by Meagan · January 26, 2010 at 09:59 AM
Pick me! Pick me! This makes up for not being able to be in the last few :)

So NEED this... though I may actually need Cathe to appear in person to beat my butt off the couch!!!
19 · Posted by crazylady · January 26, 2010 at 12:03 PM
It's such a good idea to have an at home option for getting a workout in - you never know when you just can't make it to the gym!
20 · Posted by Amy · January 26, 2010 at 12:26 PM
I know, I know -- I'm being a bit greedy here. But I'm on a major low-cost workout kick, and a personal trainer (of sorts) in my living room sounds pretty fantastic.
21 · Posted by beth · January 26, 2010 at 12:28 PM
These downloads sound great, please could I enter?
22 · Posted by Lisa S · January 26, 2010 at 12:38 PM

29 · Posted by Jenifer Bement · January 26, 2010 at 02:07 PM
That sounds amazing - I've been keen to try her out since I read your last entry on her workouts.
30 · Posted by Cath · January 26, 2010 at 02:09 PM
The unitard, it burns! Have you checked out ACE's Top 25 Fitness Fashion Fads?
[small voice]I still wear a scrunchie around the house[/small voice]
Seriously ... I've been doing more home workouts thanks to the joy of streaming Netflix, which gives me more variety than I could otherwise afford if I had to buy every video in my queue, but I'd love to mix it up some more. I've been curious about Cathe for awhile; I have another friend who absolutely swears by her. But I can't rent her stuff anywhere to check it out first, and I'd like to be able to kick the tires before committing.
So ... please add my name to the hat! Thanks for the awesome opportunity!
31 · Posted by lauramich · January 26, 2010 at 02:24 PM
I love Cathe F.
her workouts are perfection
get buff in your den!
32 · Posted by zingopink · January 26, 2010 at 02:26 PM
oh Wow! Cathe is my and Alaskaboy's favourite personal torture device!
33 · Posted by Kada · January 26, 2010 at 02:28 PM
Holla! I would love to get my hands on these.
34 · Posted by AfterGirl · January 26, 2010 at 02:33 PM
I'm always up for a new home workout regimen. Please pick me!
35 · Posted by Nique · January 26, 2010 at 02:50 PM
This is great! I already wanted to check out the catalogue! Yay DietGirl!
36 · Posted by Judi · January 26, 2010 at 03:06 PM
And one, and two...I could do that me thinks!
37 · Posted by just a girl · January 26, 2010 at 03:14 PM
How did I almost miss this giveaway! I freaking LOVE Cathe!
38 · Posted by Bri · January 26, 2010 at 03:15 PM
I love free prizes!
39 · Posted by Andrea · January 26, 2010 at 03:22 PM
Hello. I have never tried a Cathe workout but would love to.
40 · Posted by Amy · January 26, 2010 at 03:27 PM

46 · Posted by kelly o · January 26, 2010 at 04:46 PM
I've always wanted to try Cathe workouts, pick me please! (Also, best giveaway week ever! Thanks Shauna)
47 · Posted by Amanda · January 26, 2010 at 04:54 PM
That's such a good idea! I work out at home if I'm on call for work and need to get a morning workout in sometimes. Had seen people talk about Cathe before but it wasn't easy to get her DVDs in Ireland... Downloads would be perfect! And I could bring them with me to Toronto when I move in July :-)
48 · Posted by Gráinne · January 26, 2010 at 05:06 PM
I've keep eyeballing Cathe's workouts but haven't brought myself to buy one yet. Pick me!
49 · Posted by Lauren · January 26, 2010 at 05:13 PM
Oooooo pick meeeee!
50 · Posted by Vicki · January 26, 2010 at 05:18 PM
Not even gonna disguise this as a 'real' comment: I want this, I want this, I want this!!!
51 · Posted by Kat · January 26, 2010 at 05:48 PM
Not really a video doer, but have been meaning to check her out.
52 · Posted by G.G. · January 26, 2010 at 05:50 PM
I love workout videos! My dog wisely retires to the bedroom to snooze while I move my lazy self, trying not to knock over anything. Good times!
53 · Posted by Karen · January 26, 2010 at 06:01 PM
This one looks great! It's been so much fun looking at the prizes and commenting - I'm sorry the contest is over. Thanks Shauna!
54 · Posted by Sharwain · January 26, 2010 at 06:09 PM
Count me in! Great idea for drumming up a little excitement - can't wait for the super-mega-ultra 10th anniversary extravaganza. Start planning now!
55 · Posted by Lauren the Lurker · January 26, 2010 at 06:22 PM
Ooooh... sounds like that would be a good way to get me to move on those non-gym days. Thanks, Shauna!
56 · Posted by ariane · January 26, 2010 at 06:41 PM
Awesome, love aerobics =]

65 · Posted by Cindi · January 26, 2010 at 08:44 PM
perhaps this would actually inspire me to get off my butt and DOOOOO some exercise!! ;-)
66 · Posted by Sam · January 26, 2010 at 08:54 PM
Congratulations on the end of the big birthday sellout. Definitely some fantastic prizes there. Now to sit back and hope I've won something!!
67 · Posted by Fiona · January 26, 2010 at 09:00 PM

86 · Posted by Laura Paletta · January 27, 2010 at 12:57 AM
Groovy! Have wanted to try these for a while - atm when I can't be bothered leaving the house I find bodypump videos on youtube and pump at home. This sounds like a way better option!
87 · Posted by Bella · January 27, 2010 at 01:17 AM
Hooray! Always looking for good at home workouts!!
88 · Posted by Alecia · January 27, 2010 at 02:28 AM
Sounds great. I'd like to start doing some home-based workouts, but we only have 1 tv, so when dear BF is watching tv I could do this on my laptop.
89 · Posted by Nerida · January 27, 2010 at 02:59 AM
Looks like fun
90 · Posted by Tracy Robinson · January 27, 2010 at 04:06 AM
Do the work-outs come with an autoplay button so you can't ignor them?
91 · Posted by sherry · January 27, 2010 at 04:15 AM
Oh, this is so what I need. Now that I've started looking after another baby as part of Family Day Care, I'm spending even more time at home... no excuse for not exercising if I had this!
92 · Posted by Jo · January 27, 2010 at 04:52 AM
This would be great! Thanks.
93 · Posted by Candice · January 27, 2010 at 05:45 AM
I have been a Cathe fan for about 6 years. Her workouts are so effective. I would love to add to my collection. Yay!
94 · Posted by Tamikka · January 27, 2010 at 07:06 AM
I should try more work outs from home
95 · Posted by Margaret · January 27, 2010 at 08:21 AM
HI Shauna, I ordered one of those bras you were talking about (I still want to win one though), anyway, it arrived today so now I am ready for a bouncy work out. Problem was, now my boobs have the compression bandage, I realise how much my tummy wobbles!!
96 · Posted by Tanya · January 27, 2010 at 08:28 AM
LOVE the leotard!!!! priceless!
97 · Posted by Carly · January 27, 2010 at 08:33 AM
