Beginners do not try this at home. This workout is vintage Cathe: Heart-stopping cardio, and tough weight work, topped by Cathe’s friendly demeanor and excellent cuing. This dvd utilizes the High Step, so this workout is perfect for exercisers that lack a lot of space. You will need a loaded barbell, and a medium/heavy and light set of dumbbells (Cathe uses 5 and 10 lbs).
The workout is an hour long, but you will be so busy, time will fly by. There are five cycles, each containing cardio and weights.
Cycle one:
Cardio followed by Legs and Triceps
Cycle two:
Cardio followed by Legs and Shoulders
Cycle three:
Cardio followed by Legs and Biceps
Cycle four:
Cardio followed by Legs and Back
Cycle five:
Cardio followed by Legs and Chest
Finally, you enjoy a well-deserved stretch.
The legwork consists mostly of Leg Presses (followers of the Firm workouts will be familiar with these) mixed in with another leg exercise. For example, in cycle one, leg presses are followed by barbell squats; in cycle two leg presses are followed by plie squats.
Modifications are shown for some exercises, and you can always adjust your step height and/or weights.
This dvd contains premixes (cardio only, strength only, cardio and upper body, cardio and lower body, etc.) for those who are short on time or want to focus on a particular body part.
I recommend this dvd for someone who is familiar with weight training, and with Cathe’s cardio workouts.
