It's that time of year again...when new Cathe workouts come out and the folks who ordered the video versions are starting to get theirs. Reading the glowing praise for these new workouts, and feeling the enthusiasm that these fabulous tapes invoke, a group of intrepid DVD purchasers must wait endless hours--some patiently, some not so patiently-- for their workouts to be ready.
Fellow DVDers, hold strong! We shall prevail! "Our" workouts will be even more fabulous than those on video!
Until the time when we receive our DVDs, what is everyone else doing to take their mind off the wait?
After going through a cycle of PH, then PH/MIS, then PS (and going back to PH and MIS after recuperating from a nasty GI virus), I'm now on a S&H rotation. I'm modifying to make it a bit different from the last time I did this series. Instead of the "6 up, 2 down" count that Cathe cues, I've used a "2 up, 1 count squeeze/hold, 4 down, 1 count dead stop" count for chest and back. I was a little bit sorere than I was when I did this routine before (though it's never made me sore much at all). Today is legs and shoulders, which I will do mostly with a "3 up, 1 hold/squeeze, 3 down, 1 count dead stop" count for shoulders and the 2 up/1 hold, 4 down/1 hold count for legs (though I may change that to 3 up/1 hold, 3 down/1 hold on some or all exercises). I'm subbing my Soloflex Rockit for squats (except for pliés), and doing leg presses (2 up 2 down count) instead of lunges, which did not work well at all "slow and heavy style"for my "trick" knee the first time I did this routine.
