CTX DVD Programming Map

Cathe Friedrich's Cross Train Express (CTX) DVD set is an excellent example of how fitness video/DVD producers are adding functionality to the DVD version of their workouts. In this example, the DVD's "titles" are underlined. The numbered sections are known as "chapters." A fully programmable, multi-disc DVD player would allow you the flexibility to pre-program a customized workout using both CTX discs. For example, you could do the warm up from 10-10-10 followed by Power Circuit's Ab section, then the Kickbox arm drills, and finish it up with Leaner Legs leg work and the stretch section from Step & Intervals. The CTX DVD set is available from cathe.com. Return to DVD article
