Good morning!
This morning I did All-Step cardio and abs, followed by SH Chest & Back. My daughter has now officially dubbed herself my Assistant Coach (she tells me Cathe is my official coach), and kept a close eye on the tv to inform me when it was time to pick up the weights again. She called my workout this morning my "Cathe dot com". I was in the middle of a bench press when she said this, and had so much trouble not dropping the dumbells from laughing. I asked her where she heard that phrase, and she said "Cathe said it one time." Four year olds are funny little creatures.
Mariángeles, I hope it's only the good kind of muscles-worked-hard pain, and not the start of an injury. Get some good shoulder stretches in today, and move that lactic acid out.
Laurie, no I do not play the fiddle LOL! My neighbours are thankful. I do play the piano, but don't have one in my home, so am very rusty. One day....... I chose FiddleFit as a screen name because I feel as fit as a fiddle. What the heck does that really mean, I wonder? I am unaware of any fiddle on earth going to a gym, and have never seen one in Cathe's background gang.
Sandy, LL is harder than LG, no question. When I finish LG, I feel like my legs have had a really nice stretch session; the blood is in them, they're loose, but they aren't fried. LL completely exhausts the legs. LL uses a barbell for almost the entire 33 minute workout, and the large muscles of the quads, glutes and lower back are used the entire time. LG focuses on those large muscle groups primarily for the standing leg work, then focuses on smaller muscle groups when you get to the floor. I think a comparable workout to LL would be to do the Muscle Endurance lower body work two times through, but only do the leg presses one time through. LG is a terrific workout, and it has an important spot in my rotations, but it isn't an adequate substitute for LL, IMO. Get the CTX series whenever it's appropriate for you, but get it eventually. It is a great series, particularly if you only have about an hour a day to workout.
I LOVE the KPC/LG premixes! Another terrific blend I did a while back was a self-created circuit combining Cardio Kicks and Leaner Legs. I'll be doing that one again, for sure!
This concludes another Long Essay By Sandra. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
