This series will be interesting in that we will see what Cathe considers intermediate. Also, we will see from reviews and comments what everyone else considers intermediate.
From the descriptions I am thinking it will be more beginner/intermediate.
For years, Cathe has catered to the high intermediate/advanced exerciser because she was the only instructor out there that catered to that market.
When I was a beginner, I bought her workouts and worked up to them. I get a kick out of doing a workout now that I struggled with when I was just beginning. I would have loved a modifier but I figured it out on my own and now I am a master modifier.
Interesting that she has decided to use a modifier after all these years. She has been one of the few instructors that has not used one. Cedie shows modifications occasionally, and I follow them all the time.
I would like to see a set with interesting choreography that is easy to pick up and a modifier that is front and center instead of always in the back. I like how the modifier in Turbofire is right there upfront in camera all the time.
I would like her upper body workout to not be so shoulder intensive. Now that I have to baby my shoulder, I realize how much she overtrains them.
I would like to see a bootcamp workout similar to Bootcamp from the intensity series but perhaps no burpees and plyos and high impact.
I also hope this workout can be modified up or down depending on the need of the exerciser at the time.
I hope it is not too equipment intensive other than the equipment most intermediate users have - bands, weights, maybe a step.
I would like the stretch segments to be a bit longer and the stretches held long enough for the muscles to relax.
but most of all, I want good music and I agree I want the weight work to match the beat of the music - it throws me when she says, don't follow the beat.
I consider myself intermediate but I use many of Cathe advanced workouts.
In my opinion, the Bodyblast series is intermediate. I love that series and use it all the time. Intensity is advanced - I challenge anyone to call the Terminator disc anything but.
