Gauntlet -- question

JumpHigher

Cathlete
I did the Gauntlet today for the first time -- Whoooooo! Sweat was flyin'! It is SO HOT and humid here today.

I didn't pay attention to the time -- does anyone know who long this workout is?

Also -- get this: dh did it with me!!! :D :D :D

Well, I didn't really convince him. He knew I was getting ready to workout and asked if he could join.

So I said yes, and pulled out the Gauntlet (heehee). }(

Here you have the teminator dvd chaptering:



DVD chaptering - Cathe Friedrich: The Terminator

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This DVD contains three “parts” workouts compiled from IMAX2, Cardio & Weights, Boot Camp, and Muscle Endurance. There are no ab/core work segments on this DVD. Each segment has a chapter number, so you could use this DVD to program your own circuit workouts. There are no additional premixed combos on this DVD. The footage on this DVD includes:

* all of IMAX2
* most of Cardio & Weights (all but the heavy upper body work and abs)
* about half of Boot Camp
* about half of Muscle Endurance

Cathe uses dumbbells for all of the CW compound exercises. For BC or ME exercises that can be done with either a barbell (bb) or dumbbells (db), I’ve indicated whether Cathe uses a barbell or dumbbells for that segment.


The Gauntlet

This workout contains six cycles of: one IMAX2 interval, one BC lower body exercise, one CW compound exercise, one BC upper body exercise, and one BC cardio segment. The intervals from IMAX2 include the step, interval, and recovery segments (sometimes the recovery is cut short!).

* The recovery time for interval 4 is only 15 seconds. For some reason, it was cut short! The recovery time for interval 10 is only 10 seconds. On the IMAX2 DVD, the cooldown starts after 10 seconds of recovery from interval 10, and this was the cutoff point for this segment. This workout doesn’t have a final cooldown. Note: for the BC segments, you’ll only be doing the exercise itself for about 60 seconds.

Mariángeles a spanish terminator and TAEBO junkie. :)
 
Oh Marla...how was it? Was it super tough? Did you think you were gonna fall over near the end? I ask because I will be doing this work out for the first time this week or next and I'm very very afraid! lol It seems like it would be the most difficult of the Terminator work outs....:eek:
 
Hi Wendy,

Well, it wasn't easy, but it sure was thorough! It was so hot and humid here yesterday, and that always makes the cardio a little tougher for me.

I was definitely tired at the end, but in such a great way -- and the sweat was pouring out in buckets.

This was the first time I did this workout, and it's always the toughest the first time. I think the hardest element is that just when you finish the cardio portion from Bootcamp you go right into an Imax 2 interval to start the next cycle. Whoooo baby!

It's tough, but a fantastic workout. Be sure you do it on a day when you've got energy. :7

Let me know how it goes. :)

Marla
 
Well ... I'm not sure. He left so early for work this morning, I wasn't even up yet.

I know it kicked his butt, though, because he had to stop a few times during the workout. Plus, he doesn't know step very well, so he wasn't able to give it his all in the Imax2 intervals simply because he didn't know the steps. That's okay, the parts he was able to accomplish were tough enough.

I commend his effort. :7
