Today on the rotation was Cathe's 4 Day Split Kickbox, Legs, and abs. I was concerned how I was going to do with doing Plyo Legs, Imax 2, and High Reps this week. I surprised myself, I did real good. My legs might be sore again tomorrow but doing legs today didn't kill me. I love her kickbox workout on this DVD. It's nice getting a good short cardio workout and then doing some weight work. Then again, when doing legs you usually get some cardio too, at least I do anyway. Cathe's 4 Day Split is a good one to have in your DVD collection.
I've seen so many changes in my body since I started Cathe. Not so much in losing weight but more so in toning up and gaining strength. I think back to when I first started doing Cathe and then I look at where I am today, it's a pretty good difference, for the better that is. If you are looking for someone to workout with at home, I highly recommend Cathe. She's an excellent instructor and very motivating.
Hello, hello, hello... anyone out there. I'm waiting to hear from someone out there. Don't let me down, I want to hear about your workouts.
Get up and keep moving!!

Half Way through the Week
For those of you that have been following my workouts, Tuesday my legs and glutes were very sore from doing Plyo Legs on Monday. I had a feeling they were going to be because they usually are if I haven't done Plyo legs in a while. With sore legs I did Cathe's Imax 2, which is an interval workout. We do 10 rounds and each round consists of a step routine that is repeated 6 times, a blast, and recovery. I did better then I expected considering how my legs felt. I really like Imax 2. The music in that workout helps keep you going.
Today, Wednesday, was a total body workout, which was Cathe's High Reps. My legs were still feeling it from Plyo legs on Monday and then Imax 2 yesterday. The leg work in High Reps was tough but I did it. I love the leg work in here with the sliding discs.
Hey... is anyone out there????? Who's been working out with me? You're not leaving me out there all by myself are you? I don't necessarily expect you to do the same workouts that I do. I just want you to do something, be active, and share it with me.
Keep on moving!!

Plyo Legs started my week
Hi,
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and didn't eat too much. If you did, it's not the end of the world. Hopefully you got yourself back on track today.
I'm on my last week in this rotation. Today I had STS Plyo Legs from Mesocycle 3 and I could pick which ever one I wanted to do so I went with Disc 29. If you're not familiar with Plyo Legs we do a weighted exercise (example: squats, static lunge, etc) with a brief rest in between and then a plyometric move. This workout last 50 min. I'm feeling it already in my legs and glutes. I have a feeling I'll be a little sore tomorrow. I've been having some issues with my left leg so I was careful while working out to make sure I didn't make matters worse.
How was your Easter and how have your workouts been? Is anyone out there??? I haven't heard from anyone in a while. Join me in working out and let me know how you're doing. I'd love to hear from you.
Keep moving and keep sweating!!

The remainder of the week was......
Sorry I haven't been on for a few days. It's been a busy week. So this is how the rest of my week went.
Thursday I did Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Dome Challenge. Cardio portion only. This is Hi/Lo Cardio floor workout. She has some fun combo's in here and after each combo she puts in a little blast to help get the heart rate up there more. That was a pretty good day.
Friday I had Cathe's Cardio & Weights. This is a circuit workout. We do the warm-up, cardio section, followed with compound exercises that work the legs and an upper body part and then we work the upper body portion harder. Then we repeat that I believe it was 4 or 5 times. It's a fun workout. I found this one to be a little gentler on the legs, which was a nice break.
This morning I was supposed to do Rhythmic Step by Cathe but I never learned this one so I did Cardio Coach Press Play on the elliptical and go in 10.8 miles in 60 min. Each time I keep trying to push myself harder to see if I can go a little farther in that hour.
The last few days have been pretty good workouts. I haven't heard from anyone in a while. How have the workouts been going. Please don't tell me you've been slacking off. :-)
I know Easter is tomorrow so try not to over indulge and I'll do the same.
Hope you have a great weekend with great workouts!!
Happy Easter!

Tuesday and Wednesday's Workouts were......
Hi there!!
Tuesday was cardio day. I had Cathe's HiiT 40/20. This workout kills my legs. This is the workout where we do a 40 second blast and 20 seconds rest and we get two 1 minute breaks, which go really fast. I did make it through the workout and it did seem to go better then the last time I did it. The one blast I always seem to struggle with is the butt kicks over the step. We have a step with 4 risers on each side and we have our hands on the step and kick out legs over from one side to the other kicking our butt. Hence why they are called butt kicks. :-) My shoulders always do me in and I can't get all the way through without stopping. I keep trying to do the best that I can. If you've been following my blog, you probably know that 40/20 only last 1/2 hr. so of course I had to add something to it. I added the step portion only from Intensity afterwards. I had a really good cardio workout.
Today was SJP (Step, Jump, and Pump). This is a 70 min circuit workout. We start out with the warm-up and then a short step workout and then we go into hi/lo cardio and then a weight section and we do that a total of 4 times. We end with ab work and a good stretch. This is a pretty fun workout, one I haven't done in a while.
How was your workout yesterday, today???? I hope you're not letting me down and letting this cruddy weather in Wisconsin get you down. Try to stay positive and keep moving!!
Love to hear from you!!

Week 3 of Rotation
To catch you up on how my week ended. Friday I had Cathe's Drill Max. This is a circuit workout. We start off with a nice warm-up and then 6 circuits. Each circuit starts out with a cardio drill and then we go into legs and then an upper body. Each exercise she makes sure there is still a little cardio factor. She does some different exercises in here and some of which are sports oriented. Love the football drills at the end where we do the fast runs like they do in football training. Instead of running through tires we straddle the step and do a fast jog down the length of the step and then go back around one side of the step with both feet and then straddle run again and then go back around the other side of the step. I'm probably not doing the best job explaining it but it's pretty fun.
Friday afternoon my husband and I left for Door County for a couple of days with some friends. Saturday ended up being my off day. We had a nice time and it was nice to get away but I was happy to be back home with my cats (that's another story) and to be physically doing things. I'm not used to lounging around so much in a day. The eating was the greatest either. Especially when you can't really workout. The weather was really crappy so we couldn't even go for a walk outside. Sunday afternoon I got my workout in and man did it feel great. I did Cardio Coach Press Play and did 10.7 miles. It felt wonderful. Then I followed that with Cathe's Ab Circuits - Medicine Ball abs. I love this ab workout. You use a medicine ball for all the exercises and she works your abs at every angle. Love the way the extra weight feels when doing the exercises. I finished it off with a stretch from one of her cardio workouts.
Today was the start of week 3 of this rotation. I had Cathe's High Step Training Advanced. This workout is an advance circuit workout. We do 5 circuits. Each circuit starts with a cardio blast on the high step. The cardio is short but it gets your heart rate going. Then we follow that with leg presses. We do lots and lots of leg presses in this workout. In this circuit workout she keeps the cardio going after the cardio blast with the leg work. Each circuit also has upper body work. The one exercise in this workout that I love to hate is hover squats. We hover over the high step with small pulses to the count of 15. I think we do this 4 times. I know that this exercise always kills my quads and by the time it's over with, I'm lucky I can get myself in an upright position. It burns the legs good. Overall this is an excellent circuit workout.
How were your workouts over the weekend? How about today? Please don't tell me that the cold weather got you down and you did nothing. Hopefully you got up and got a good sweat in.
Keep moving!

BC with Leaner Legs
Yeah tomorrow is Friday!! It's been another week.
Today on the rotation was Leaner Legs with Ab Circuits Stability Ball. I changed it slightly, I did the warm-up from the original Bootcamp and the cardio only and then I did Leaner Legs from Cathe's CTX series and instead of doing Ab Circuits I just did the abs from Leaner Legs with the stretch. Gosh, I haven't done Leaner Legs in a really long time. I forgot how good of a leg workout it is. This is a good leg endurance workout. We do squats, leg presses, elevated lunges, static lunges, plie squats, stiff legged deadlifts, calf raises. We don't do just one set we do a couple of sets and then repeat it. Yeah, I'm thinking my legs and glutes will be feeling that one tomorrow.
I have to make this quick so I hope you had a great workout today. I haven't heard from anyone all week. I'd love to hear how your week went.
Keep moving and keep sweating!!

Wednesday was a Challenge
Hi!!
Today was High Step Challenge, of course by no other then Cathe Friedrich. This is a circuit workout. One that I have not done in a really long time. Each circuit starts with a cardio and then goes into legs and cardio and then some upper body. We end with a core work and a stretch. The cardio in the circuits is a combination of step and floor work. Legs felt a little fatigued this morning. I feel like my body is fighting something so I'm not sure if that's why it's been feeling a little tough. Granted I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night and I'm sure that didn' help any.
Is anyone out there??? I haven't heard from any body this week. That's okay, I understand it's hard to always get online. With spring here and summer around the corner it will become harder and harder for me to get online because I usually have so much going on with yard work. I enjoy the yard work. Keeps me active.
Let me know how your workout was, I'd love to hear from you.

HiiT 30/30 and BM2 Step
Happy Tuesday!!
Today was HiiT (High Intensity Interval Training) 30/30. We do a warm-up, 30 second blast, and 30 seconds of rest. It's a 1/2 hr workout. If you've been following my blog you know by now that I like to get at least an hour workout in. After I did 30/30, I followed that with Body Max 2 Step Only. I was concerned how the workout was going to go because I went to bed with a bad sinus headache and woke up with one. I started the warm up and was doing a repeater and I could feel the pound in my head each time my foot hit the floor. Thankfully it got better as time went on.
How did your workout go today? What... please tell me I didn't hear you say that you didn't work out. Okay.. that means in tomorrows workout you need to do at least 100 jumping jacks after your normal workout. If you're feeling really ambitious do 200 jumping jacks. :-)
I'd love to hear from you!!

Started the Week with Viper
Happy Monday!!
As I mentioned yesterday, I was supposed to have Circuit Max today but I don't have this workout so I substituted with another circuit. I decided to go with Cathe's Viper. This workout is from her Terminator DVD where she compiles different workouts together into one. The Viper was cardio from Cardio & Weights, Cardio from Imax 2 and 2 or 3 exercises from Muscle Endurance. Love, love this workout!! I was running short on time so at the end I skipped the last cardio from Cardio & Weights and skipped the push-ups in the last segment of weights and I cut the static lunges short. I still had a great workout. It's been a super long time since I've done this workout. On that DVD she also has Gauntlet and Imax Extreme. All the workouts on this DVD are awesome!!
How did your Monday start off? Did you start it off with a really good workout? I hope you did. If you didn't, there is always tomorrow. Tomorrow push yourself just a little further whether it's going a little longer on the cardio or adding just a little more weight if you're lifting or use the same weight and do more reps. Come on.. you can do it!!
Keep on moving and keep that sweat rolling!!

End of the week
Sorry I haven't posted for a few days. Wanted to quick let you know how my week ended.
Friday I had Cardio Core Circuit. Before I did that I did the warm-up and cardio only from the original Bootcamp and then I did CCC. I had a pretty good workout. Worked the abs pretty good this week too.
Saturday I was supposed to do Step Blast but I wanted something joint friendly so I did Cardio Coach Press Play on the elliptical and did 10.6 miles. Had an awesome workout!!
Tomorrow is the start of a new week in the rotation. I was supposed to do Circuit Max, which I don't have so I have to figure out what other circuit workout to do. I probably won't decide until tomorrow morning. I have an idea but I'm undecided between two. I won't tell you until tomorrow. :-)
Rose, if you're out there... you've been doing awesome on the workouts!! I'm so glad that I motivated you. That was one reason for doing this blog. If I can reach out somehow and motivate a few people, it makes this more worth it.
Hope you all had a great weekend!!

Had some Kick, Punch, and Crunch this morning!!
My Thursday started off with Cathe's Kick, Punch, and Crunch. Thought it was going to be a rough workout because my head was really stuffed. Once I got going I was good and ended up having a really good workout. I gave my all in kicks and punches. I love the punches especially the hooks and upper cuts.
Rose, if you're out there. You have been having some awesome workouts. Glad you are loving STS Meso 2. Just wait until you get to Meso 3. I'm not sure which cycle I like the most. I love Plyo legs in Meso 3. Keep up the great work!!
Jane - I'm happy to see that you are in week two and sticking with the rotation. Keep it up.. you can and will do it!! As for Insanity.... I'll probably finish the rotation I'm on first before I start Insanity.
Yeah... tomorrow is FRIDAY!! It's been a long week.
What was your workout today? Did you push it to the limit and beyond? No.... come on.. I know you can push it just a little further even if it's for only part of the workout. Each time you push yourself a little harder, you will improve a little more each time.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!!

Tuesday Cardio and Wednesday Circuit
Hi,
So Tuesday I had cardio. On the rotation was Cathe's HiiT Double Wave Pyramid. This workout is only 1/2hr long so I always like to do at least an hour (including warm up & cool down) so after I did HiiT I put Body Max 2 and did the step portion only. I had a great workout. If your not familiar with Double Wave Pyramid, she starts with a 20 sec blast and each blast gets a little longer and then we top it off with 40 sec and then go back down the pyramid and repeat it all over again. I was a sweaty mess.
Wednesday was a circuit day and I had Circuit Blast. I had just done Circuit Blast the end of last week but that's okay. I did the same thing where I did the warm up and cardio only from Bootcamp followed by Circuit Blast (skipping the warm up because after Bootcamp cardio, I was plenty warm).
We're half way through the week. How have your workouts been going? Have you been pushing it? Tell me that you have and that you've been giving it your all.
Would love to hear from you!!
Two more days left and the weekend is here!!
Sleep well!!

Happy Monday.... started with some Low Impact
After a very short nights sleep due to nasty thunderstorms that kept me up the majority of the night, I got up at my normal 3am and started Cathe's April rotation. Today started with Low Impact Circuit. I haven't done this workout in a really long time. Forgot how much I loved it. If you're not familiar with this workout, we start out with a warm-up and then do a cardio portion, followed with legs and cardio, followed with upper body we repeat that 4 times (I'm pretty sure it was 4). Then the workout ends with a nice tough but short ab work and then a wonderful stretch. The workout felt a little tough for me this morning, but I think the lack of sleep had something to do with that. Need to get to bed on-time tonight to get a better nights sleep.
If you're a Cathe fan... we received some awesome news from her today..... she is coming out with a Low Impact Series. We will be able to preorder in May. I can't wait!!!! She has warned us to be prepared to be a sweaty mess. LOVE IT!! I love the high intensity plyo moves but to have something low impact that's still tough will be a nice break on the joints. This was a great news to receive on a Monday.
Jane... if you're out there.. way to go on sticking with the rotation I gave you. One week down and you're off to a good start with week two. Keep up the good work!! I previewed a couple of the Insanity DVD's yesterday... OMG... what did I get myself into. I think it's going to be tough but I'm looking forward to the challenge. We'll see if I survive.
What was your Monday workout like? Were you a sweaty mess by the time you were done... I hope so... sweat is a sign of hard work. :-)
I must get myself ready for bed... 3am comes around way too soon.

Jane... if you're out there.. way to go on sticking with the rotation I gave you. One week down and you're off to a good start with week two. Keep up the good work!! I previewed a couple of the Insanity DVD's yesterday... OMG... what did I get myself into. I think it's going to be tough but I'm looking forward to the challenge. We'll see if I survive.
What was your Monday workout like? Were you a sweaty mess by the time you were done... I hope so... sweat is a sign of hard work. :-)
I must get myself ready for bed... 3am comes around way too soon.
Sleep well!

My Week Ended With.......
Friday I did a circuit workout. I started with the warm up and cardio only from the original Bootcamp and then I followed that with Circuit Blast. That was the first time I've done that workout. I should have read what the workout consisted of because I wanted to do a full body circuit workout where this was cardio, legs, and core. In this workout you do end up working other upper body muscles from all the various exercises we do. It was a real good workout and I enjoyed it.
Saturday I did cardio. I wasn't sure which workout I wanted to do. I had a few in mind. I decided to do one I haven't done in a long time. I did Amy Bento's CIA 2805 Hi/Lo Knockout. I love this workout. It is a ton of fun and absolutely love the music in this workout. If you want to change things up and have a fun hi/lo cardio workout, I highly recommend this one.
Monday, I'm going to start a new 4 week rotation from Cathe. I'm looking forward to it.
What have your workouts been the last couple of days? Did you push yourself?
Today is my rest day... good day to have a rest day because the weather is cruddy. Rain and windy. Yuck!! Good day to stay inside.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!
