Turbo Barre Resistance Band Question...

[Stacy]

Are most of you using the light or the medium resistance band for this one?? I know the crew is using the light resistance but is that one you'll soon progress past quickly to the medium resistance band???

[lainabaina]

the section at the barre with the band is not too long. you could use the light or med one IMO.

I use the medium band for the entire workout. I gave the light one to a friend, so I didn't have a choice. I'll probably move to the heavier one after doing the workout a few more times.

I'm new to Cathe and was hoping someone could tell me what video/DVD Cathe uses the toning tubes (resistance bands). I've already got the tubes but no program to follow. I know that a DVD comes with the adjustable toning tubes but the description doesn't say much about the DVD so don't know if it's just a how to use the tubes or a real Cathe workout. Thanks so much. sue

Travel Fit is all band work. She uses stretch bands, which are a bit different as they do not have a handle and are thicker. I used tubing and it worked fine (you might want to get lifting gloves. The band was killing my hands!). I found the workout to be fun & challenging. Not Cathe's toughest, but you will feel it in your muscles the next day. Also, it's Low Impact too, so very joint friendly.

Have a good one! Enjoy!

I have almost all of Cathe's DVDs and the only one I've used the tube style with handles is Athletic Training. Otherwise, the other workouts use a resistance band and using gloves makes a huge difference - keeps the band from slipping out of my sweaty palms.

I use the green band - no problem! My pink band arrived ripped, and I figured it was to easy anyway so I never complained about it!! Blue one...will take a bit to do this workout with

Unfortunately my green band broke (while doing a Cathe workout) so I am now using the blue one - owie, but doable.
