I'm just previewing On Demand, but wanted to mention right away that Cathe is showing modifications during Boot Camp.
I did my own mix of Cardio Slam this morning, using only the sections that contained modifications. These are listed nicely so it's easy to put together your own premix. So far I would say the music isn't as terrible as I thought it was from the clips. not great, but not worse than the Cathe Live stuff. |

Previewing Cardio Slam right now with the modifications. I was liking it so far, and thinking I was glad she hadn't done any floor moves yet, but then she did several floor moves like burpees and spidermans. And no modification for the spiderman? That definitely needs a modification. And the modifications for the floor moves still go down on the floor. Am I the only one who refuses to do burpees or other cardio moves that quickly go down to the floor and back up. Luckily it's well chaptered so you can skip past individual moves. And there's always the "jog in place" modification.

I did her new upper body workout this morning. I really enjoyed it. Each body part felt thoroughly worked and the combo of moves was different from her other offerings. I loved it. Great job on this one. I am really liking nicole - not sure why since she is off in the background. I liked the outfits too.

It depends what time I do my workout. If it's in the morning, I hate going to the floor. I usually do skiers, box hops, kick jumps or frog hops. Just find a fun, intense substitution. I guess I find I do that a lot. Please tell me there are no power 15's, side lunge on the step or around-the-worlds. Really got tired of them with Cathe workouts.

This morning I did PHA Training. Ok, I'm going to admit that I followed the weight suggestions for the first round of each set (there are two sets of six exercises, repeated three times). The second and third rounds I kept the lower body weights the same but had to drop down to my 12 lb. dumbbells when Cathe and crew were using their 15 lb. dumbbells for upper body. I found myself using momentum to get the weights up in the shoulder press and biceps curls so I decided it was better for me to just take it down a notch.
I enjoyed it a lot and after doing it, the premixes make sense because I know what 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, and 2C mean, lol. I think I'll get a lot of use out of the premixes (and the Workout Blender on her website) because it'll take the boredom factor out of repeating something three times. ETA: That I agree, the PHA Training dvd pace is slowed down a bit as compared to the Cathe Live versions. I enjoy both versions though because you get ALOT done in about 45 minutes!

I did Cardio slam this morning. It has 3 segments- floor, mat and step. The step is just the platform. You do one drill after another. Some of the floor moves your holding either 3 or 5 lb weights. There are NO power 7's or 15's. All the moves get your HR up there nicely. I'll have to make a note to wear WAGS to protect my wrists because of the burpees etc. Overall I really liked this. Some of the moves are slam its, hop forward-back, plyo lunges, football runs, jack sequences. Nothing tricky about it. Just straight forward work. Loved it!
