Don't you just luv it on the second set of fast-paced squats where Cathe declares."ooh, tight right away!" Sure enough..... Round aout the plie squat section, I set to asking myself through gritted teeth, "WHEN-WILL-THIS-BE-OVER?!?!?!?!?!" But I like the sit n'stands section: makes me feel powerful.

Leaner Legs is one of my all time favorite leg routines. I still get major DOMS from it!

This is my go to Leg workout after all these years. Towards the end the look on Brenda's face when Cathe says "eight more" is exactly how I feel

Scheduled to do this one on Wed and I already have Thursday planned as a rest day just in case I'll need it.I haven't done LL in years and am wondering if I should do the ab section or sub in another 10min one from another video. Thoughts?
You know, I can't remember the abs section from LL. I may never have done it!
Older Cathe workouts def' focussed on 'abs' whereas newer ones focus on 'core.' I think I'd be tempted to do a newer one, so there aren't so many traditional crunches which don't do as much for the core as a lot of standing weight training does, particularly if it involves (the need for) lateral moves, imbalance and core stabilization.

It is tough in its own way! Unlike Butts and Guts you get calf work and very little rest. It's not as heavy as RWH, but has a great cardio factor in addition to muscle endurance. You should put it in your repertoire!

I finally did this one today for the first time (I am really late to the Cross Train Express party), but I do have many Cathe lower body workouts, and am always amazed that all are so challenging in different ways. I find the floor work in Butts and Guts very difficult (especially those evil side leg lifts on the ball), but this one challenged my endurance with the recovery calf raises. Turbo Barre is hard, Legs and Glutes is hard, Great Glutes is hard, Pyramid Legs...all in their own way. X Train Legs, RWH Legs, Lean Legs and Abs aren't quite as hard, but still work my legs hard. I can't pick between them and very happy to cycle between them.

I finally got CTX when it was a daily deal the other day and did Leaner Legs for the first time yesterday. Oh my! So many reps but I still went as heavy as I could. My butt, hamstrings and calves are feeling it today! Cathe never ceases to amaze me!!
