Cathe ICE Question - MM & BB and Lower Body

rheash92 · 01-17-16, 05:17 PM

How to incorporate the Muscle Meltdowns and Blizzard Blasts with the main workouts? Also if you did the MM by themselves what is good lower body DVD to use which is relatively heavier weights with no cardio component? Thanks!

I am incorporating the Muscle Meltdowns here and there where I want some extra work on a particular muscle group. I am getting in the triceps one at least once a week, since that's the area I need to bring "up to speed" as it were. I haven't done any by themselves, but I like adding them when I feel like it.

So far with the Blizzard Blasts, I'm also adding them in at the end where I feel like it. If I do a shorter premix of a workout, I'll add the Blizzard Blast to round it out and make it a more intense workout.

Both add-ons are really flexible with adding them in. The official rotation incorporates both but you can mix and match with them to get the workout you're looking for.

Take a look at the extensive premixes and plan from there. The first week, I just did the main workouts adding on the MM. The next week, I might pick a premix and try something different.

Cathe really hit the ball out of the park with ICE. Lots of choices to have a different workout each and every time (if you choose)

Have fun!

What if you did the legs only premix of STS Total Body? 22 minutes and your legs are fried.

You can try Cathe's: 1. Total Body Trisets - lower body split or the lower body premixes, 2. Gym Style Legs - the 32 minute premix or 3. STS Total Body- lower body premix

I found STS Total Body to be way too fast, personally, but I have used her LB Trisets workout many, many times. To me that is one of her best lower body workouts. I'd also suggest Butts & Guts, which is older but probably one of her best lower body workouts. Lots of premixes and different ways to use it. The standing lower body workout premix is terrific.

How about skipping the cardio portions of the Lower Body workout from the ICE series? You could even repeat some of the sets.

I've used the Workout Blender to make a longish total body workout out from the MM's and the lower body workout minus the cardio. I added in the bonus legs portions from Butts and Guts (Leg Press and Sit and Stands) to the end of the legs portion and I loved it.

Very good strength work!!
