Marla!

You're very Welcome! Not sure this is what Lora wanted. Also, it doesn't incorporate the latest series. Glad I could help.

RE: Marla!

Hi,
thanks for the response, but it's not actually what I'm looking for. I will search thru the Ask Cathe Forum. Thanks so much though,

RE: Lora

I thought this was what you were looking for but I reread your question and it may not be. In any case, hope this helps.

CTX WEIGHT WORKOUTS......These workouts are a cross between an endurance and strength workout. Because we move so quickly from exercise to exercise, the endurance aspect kicks in. But, at the same time, we don't really use super light weight and we do provide brief breaks so the strength aspect kicks in too. And finally, because we spend a fairly short amount of strength training time and on just one muscle group per workout, the maintenance aspect kicks in. Depending on how strong you currently are and what your goals are, will determine what these workouts can do for you. If you are just coming back to weights after a long time off, you will get more than maintenance from these 10 minute workouts. However, if you have been working out with weights regularily, then this 10 minute per body part work out will provide enough stimulation to maintain your current strength for about two to three weeks.


PS SERIES........This series is designed to promote mostly muscular strength. The three tapes are designed to be used as formatted. The layout of the exercises are set up to layer on muscle fatigue as you move from exercise to exercise. Thats not to say that you cannot interchange, substitute, and or tack on additional exercises here or there, but it mainly means that to get the optimal benefits from this workout, it should be used as was created. Those who are familiar with weight training and participate in regular rotation experimentation will be able to mix and match parts of this workout to assist in exercise variety, however, for someone who is not interested in doing this, they should rather do the series as provided and then use a whole other series for "shock value" when this particular rotation becomes too familiar to the body. Remember too, that once a routine becomes too familiar to the body that it doesn't mean that the workout will no longer encourage premium results again. It simply means to take a little break from it and do some other rotation before you use it again.

SLOW HEAVY SERIES.......This series is designed to promote PREMIUM muscular strength gains. This will be achieved by going through a series of exercises, performed in a uniquely slow and concentrated manner to eliminate momentum and thereby allow for maximum muscle fiber recruitment. Remember the overall effectiveness of the Slow and Heavy Series is not so much WHAT exercises you select but rather HOW you perform them. Regardless of your fitness level, if you select a weight that challenges you for all of the exercises for the duration of each rep, you will gain premium strength.

MIS.......This workout provides a combination of strength and endurance. Depending on your fitness level, you will pull more in one direction than the other. For instance, if you are new to fitness, deconditioned, or recovering from an injury, you will gain more strength because it will be quite a bit of work to your underused muscles. However, if you are currently very conditioned with weight training, you will most likely feel more endurance conditioning (yet never fully eliminating strength gains)from this workout because of the faster pace of the reps and brief rest periods between the exercises.

POWER HOUR.......Power Hour is designed to promote ALL OUT muscular endurance, good posture and functional fitness while improving your muscle tone and strengthening your core region. You will use a lighter weight than you typically would use for a traditional workout of three sets of 10 to 12 reps. To get superior results, you will need to find the most challenging weight possible that allows you to complete each rep for each exercise yet still maintain good form and alignment. To continue to receive the benefits of this muscular endurance workout, it is very important that you select a heavier weight for each exercise when your current weight selection no longer challenges you to the very last rep.

BODYMAX......This workout (in its entirety) provides OPTIMAL cardiovascular conditioning plus muscular endurance and strength conditioning. Part one (step aerobics) is complete cardiovascular conditioning, while part two (step aerobic/leg work blasts), continues with cardiovascular training and also begins to tap into muscular endurance gains for the legs. Part three (upper body conditioning and abs)begins to pull away from the cardiovascular aspects of the workout and kicks highly into muscular endurance/strength gains. Again, as with (MIS and CTX WEIGHTS)a combination of strength and endurance will be achieved in this portion of the workout for the same reasons as listed in those descriptions.

This is a cut and paste of Cathe's response.
