    Body Max

    BodyMax is the first workout I ordered from Cathe.com....I will always be in awe of it. Everytime I go back to BodyMax, my body responds quickly to changes (and definitely feels it (sore)). BodyMax improved muscle tone and cardio for me and is definitely a classic. As with all Cathe's...
