Cardio Benefit From Leaner Legs?

[JanetH]

Cathe - I just did Leaner(Meaner) Legs for the first time - what a great workout! I wasn't wearing a heartrate monitor but I sure was huffing and puffing through most of it and the sweat poured off as it usually does when I use one of your cardio tapes.

Trust me, I'm very happy with the strength training in the workout (happy in a "I can barely walk today" sort of way), but I was wondering if the cardio is sustained enough to be of benefit.

Also, I'm certain you would not have marketed a workout such as Leaner Legs without including a coupon for a free massage. My coupon must have been lost - could you send me another one ASAP

Thanks

Janet

PS - as I mentioned in another post a while back - I love the stretching segments in these new videos - slower and longer, with soothing music.

Same question

I did wear my HRM during Leaner Legs and was stunned how high my heart rate was throughout most of the workout. I was also wondering about the cardio benefit.
That massage sounds wonderful!! I was so sore all over the first week of doing these videos!!

Erica - Let's Give This One More Try

Erica -

Your HRM provided the scientific evidence - all I knew for sure was that I was doing some pretty heavy breathing.

Hi Janet!

Glad you like Leaner Legs! While you are certainly receiving some cardiovascular benefits from this workout, it is not the focus(or intension) of the workout. While a "pretty darn" elevated heart rate is a nice little bonus, Leaner Legs should not be viewed at and/or substituted as a cardio workout(btw, I'm not implying that you were doing this, but thought I would just point that out

)

Oh, and your coupon is in the mail

Love the Bonuses!!!!!

Wow! You dug this out of the archives - thanks!

Every time I do one of the new tapes I get more out of the exercises - minute-for-minute these have to be the most efficient and effective tapes on the market. I do love all the bonuses you've built in - after two weeks, I'm already seeing results - these are just what my body needed to shake things up. Thanks again Cathe! Hugs to that little cutie of yours - he's got his Mommie's eyes
