I did her latest Hooked on Legs yesterday and enjoyed it. Not killer, but worked me enough!
I also revisited her Upper Body Sculpt today from two years ago! A very solid upper body workout. I can't believe it's been over two years since Cathe Live started!

Thanks FrostyJan for the STS Total Body Compound Exercise add on idea! I did Total Body Giant Sets again and added on the Chest & Back Compound Exercises. Now I want to actually do the entire premix, since I have never done it!

I just did Smokin' Upper Body Blast (7/26/16). It was a sweat fest! This workout alternates cardio blasts with upper body work. The cardio is mostly high impact floor stuff (apple pickers, air squats, that kind of stuff), but I modified the heck out of it by using a step and doing more knee- and back-friendly moves. The speed of the music is not supersonic, and I never felt like I was going to die--but I felt well worked and ready for the upper body segments after each blast.
I was quite distracted by the girl to Cathe's right (our left). She looked like she was pushing herself too hard the whole time, and she actually started to look pale and like she might pass out or throw up. She left early, and I was worried about her! I can't remember if the orange weights Cathe's gym has are 10 or 12 pounds, but that's what everyone was using and I thought 8 was a better selection (for me and my cardio capacity, anyway!) I hope she's okay, and if it was that she was pushing too hard, that she'll take it down a notch! Hopefully Cathe makes it very clear to everyone that there's no competition on these trips. Okay--I went off on a tanget--it was just really distracting to me! |

I also did 'Smokin' Upper Body with Blast' this morning. It was a 53 minute sweatfest of alternating upper body strength moves with cardio blasts. I previewed it last night and did not think that I would like it, as it seemed "more of the same." When I did the workout today I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it. I would classify this workout more as a metabolic workout than a true strength workout as only 10 lb dumbbells are utilized throughout (except for one lat row segment in which Cathe doubled the ten pound db to make 20 pounds). For some of the segments I use heavier than 10lb dumbbells. I did the blast as is although most of the cardio segments are high impact. For one of the high impact segments I subbed KB swings. The shoulder band segments were "killers" for me. I felt that all of the upper body muscles were adequately worked. Al (from some of Cathe's DVD workouts) was in this class. All in all, I liked this workout.
