I love your custom workout, Fanofladyvols! Great reminder about LL&A! I love it too! The "no name" series has some of my favorite workouts! Great music, great moves - they're just plain fun! And it is nice to know these workouts well enough that we can customize and tailor them to suit our needs for a particular day. Quote:
I haven't done S & H yet and it's been a long time since I've done PS, but I remember liking it. I'll be interested to hear our other fierce friends comparison of these to GS. |

Not to enable, but I LOVE Slow & Heavy. The thing that gets me is that Cathe does not go heavy. I am assuming she had filmed a lot of workouts that day and didn't have the strength. Aside from that, if you use your own weights selection, it's an awesome slow-mo heavy strength workout. And a great split.
I used to not like doing splits but now I love them! More time to hit the muscles instead of doing total body. Even though I like those too. ;-) Kittybug: I think I'm just going to start with Imax and work my way thru them. And NOT at 8 inches either. Linda: GREAT way to mix things up! I think you're doing great! Manley: Two things I know about myself. When I do a lot of kickboxing, my shoulders get more defined. When I do more step, the legs and butt get it. Makes sense since you're stepping up and down and up and down...... Today I focused on just a bodyweight workout so I did Group Rx Boot #4. Includes strength work, balance, stretching and cardio in the whole workout with just bodyweight. Good change of pace but back to Cathe tomorrow. I think I'll do MIS again, just to bookend my week. Hello to everyone..sorry if I missed anyone....HUGS

Linda - I forget that some people describe the choreography as hard when describing a Cathe step workout like IMAX. I find the blasts incredibly hard and have to modify the heck out of those but the rest of the workout is pure fun to me. Love it.
Kitty bug, so sorry that you got hurt. Sometimes when I slip or kick the step or whatever I make a huge racket. My husband yells in to me to make sure I’m ok. He’s such a keeper! I think I am going to do the floor portion of Maximum Intensity Cardio tonight. That’s an oldie for sure. I love the motivation I’m getting from this thread. Lately I have been sort of slacking and choosing easier workouts. This is a fun, great kick in the pants! Enjoy everyone! Kim |

I did Cardio Core Circuit today and holy moly, that was REALLY HARD. Maybe I'm just tired today, but it felt kind of like Tabatacise Light!
And you ENABLERS, all of you!!! UG, so I have Slow and Heavy, Pure Strength, and the RWH upper body splits that I also don't yet have all on my wish list at Mary's, waiting for her next sale or for someone to list them as trades or for sale! Manleym and fanofladyvols, me too, started with the Firm and went from there, always preferred total body workouts or circuits. I read some old thread on Cathe's forum where the poster did a wonderful job of explaining strength training progression and how you eventually do want to work with splits to spend enough quality time building muscle. It made perfect sense to me and I understand I probably wasn't ready for them before! Not that I'm advanced now, but I think I'm at least much stronger than I was! KateTT, just FYI, to me Imax 2 is SUCH fun...it's hard but not as hard as Imax 3 and it has more of a fun factor to me somehow! Actually, I feel that way about the Intensity Series in general, it really holds a special place in my heart! Kim, good luck with MIC! I still haven't ventured there yet, hah! So I think I'll do one more week using the Gym Styles like I have been, mixed with some more of the Shock Cardio. Then the week after that, because I haven't yet gotten to use Muscle Max which I love, I'm going to start transitioning into the sash series but will incorporate Muscle Max and MIS and maybe some other older ones I haven't yet used much, because that sash series is pretty cardio heavy. |

Kate thanks for the encouragement! I really appreciate how you do that and give so much great advice. I looked up a clip of MIC. It looks fun! I will add to my wishlist.
Kim these ladies are whipping me into shape! I invited myself and Manley and we have just let Kittybug throw a kick your butt party! I'm so glad you find it motivating, too. Yeah, I'm a klutz so it takes me longer to get choreo that others say is easy to pick up, lol. But I make up for it in modifications, sheer willpower and practice!! Kittybug I LOVE LOVE Muscle Max. I like your plan too. We will probably have some similar workouts even with me doing Pure Strength. I found a rotation that I plan to follow: Pure strength plus MIS only one body part per day Day 1 - PS Back/MIS Back Day 2 - PS Chest/MIS Chest plus Kick max workout Day 3 - PS Legs and Abs, Butts and guts bonus Day 4 - Rest Day 5 - PS Shoulders/MIS Shoulders Day 6 - PS Biceps/MIS Biceps plus cardio portion of Body Max Day 7 - PS Triceps/MIS triceps plus cardio If it's too much, I'll leave MIS off. If I really like it, then I may repeat for one more week. I have never done pure strength but I think having just done gym Styles it will be a good time to compare. Manley it's been awhile since I have done slow and heavy but I feel like I liked only the upper body workouts and not the lower body. Give me a heads up if you decide to do it anytime. And LOL enabling! I'm relieved your powers are weak against me since I already have them
