WIN! $100 Cathe Downloads voucher - DG 11th Birthday Sell Out Day 2
January 17, 2012
The prize:
One $100 USD voucher for Cathe Downloads.
Available to readers from: Worldwide.
What the heck is it?
Cathe Friedrich has reigned as the home fitness queen since the days of VHS but she always moves with the times! Her entire 150+ workout catalogue in available digital format, so you can watch your downloads on any computer or video-enabled mobile device, such an iPhone.
Why do you dig it?
I'm a longtime Cathe fan and I like the convenience of the downloads - no fiddling with DVDs, great for travelling and no international shipping fees! I wrote a review of Cathe Downloads back in 2009, including a list of my favourite Cathe workouts. Since then I've become hooked on her new Low Impact Series which delivers a comprehensive butt kicking while being gentle on your joints. From interval training to spinning to yoga to step to circuits, I'm impressed at her creativity at coming up with so many ways to get the heart rate working without the knees protesting!
Nerdy aside
Cathe did an exercise class at the Fitbloggin conference last May. I can happily report that she makes you work just as hard in person as when trapped inside your computer. And she signed my paper plate. Swoon!
There is one $100 USD Cathe Downloads voucher to be won. Simply leave a comment on this blog entry to enter. If you're reading this post via an RSS feed, Facebook or Goodreads, you need to click through to the Dietgirl blog. Winners will be drawn at random. Entries close Tuesday 31 January 2012 at 9PM GMT.

P.S. I had a whole wheat pita and blueberries in milk for brekkie! ;)

I've been wanting to try these workouts since you first blogged about them - enough to come out of my perpetual lurking status!
18 · Posted by Cat · January 17, 2012 at 07:19 PM
I'd love to enter this competition thanks.
19 · Posted by Nicole Graham · January 17, 2012 at 07:20 PM
This giveaway is also perfect for me! I travel often and bring DVDs with me. I have even utilized You Tube as a way to find free workouts. Perfect!
20 · Posted by Shelly · January 17, 2012 at 07:40 PM
Great workout with out stress on the joints - I'm in! I am sad to be worried about joints while in my 30s, but my knees are shot as well. I would love to get this and burn off the pounds I put on in 2011.
21 · Posted by Erin Fitz · January 17, 2012 at 07:43 PM
I'm intrigued by the low impact series - it's hard to stay motivated with a bum knee. This one has lured me out of my lurker status!
22 · Posted by Kris · January 17, 2012 at 07:54 PM
Yes please!
23 · Posted by Nina · January 17, 2012 at 08:12 PM

This sounds great. I think I'm still in Christmas mode and really not into working out with other people in the gym. My home fitness collection needs updating from Rosemary Conley!
37 · Posted by Elle · January 17, 2012 at 10:56 PM
I love Cathe workouts and need new ones in my routine!! :)
38 · Posted by Amanda · January 17, 2012 at 11:03 PM
Back on the moonwalk training programme again, after saying my 3rd would be my last in 2008. A bit of variety in my fitness regime would be just the ticket.

Nice price - something for rainy days.
57 · Posted by Andrea · January 18, 2012 at 10:23 AM
I smiled when I saw that paper plate. Was it from the workout or lunch? My instructor makes us do all sorts of things with paper plates (sliding foot or hand out on a paper plate as part of our workout move).
58 · Posted by vickie · January 18, 2012 at 11:53 AM
Sounds like an amazing prize - it will help get my arse in gear!
59 · Posted by Rachel · January 18, 2012 at 12:28 PM
Been trying to find a decent low impact workout that I can do in the privacy of my living room, so would love to give this a try.

70 · Posted by Charlene · January 18, 2012 at 09:28 PM
My current gym's timetable is hopeless, so I've joined a new cheaper gym without classes. This would be a great way to supplement my gym workouts.
71 · Posted by Nerida · January 18, 2012 at 11:50 PM
My dodgy knees would love to give these a try! Thanks for the info!

78 · Posted by Sarah · January 19, 2012 at 10:59 AM
I never used a workout video of any kind, but now I live in Japan, it is hard for me to find a gym that`s affordable and that fits, so this would really be a huge deal for me!
Cheers!
