Most Unfavourite Move ....

yeah. poo on the ponies. not into those. my body doesn't want to do 'em. flying angels don't seem to like klutzy me either. i'm w/ you on the pump repeaters. weird.


Live with sincerity, love with passion, and dance like you mean it.

I'm with you on the sashays at the beginning of the step portion of MIC. It's almost like they're too slow or something.

I always feel like a dork doing FFAs too. And I don't mind scoops when you just stay facing forward, but when you turn them (like in RS), I feel like I'm just not doing them right.
 
Well, I'm right there with everyone on the MIC sashays. In fact, I've avoided that workout lately simply because I don't want to do them. Guess I need to come up with a substitute.

I don't necessarily dislike the ponies, but that's probably because I have never been able to do them, period, and have always subbed a step-kick when they show up.

But the triple-turnings drive me nuts. I can never ever get those right. I have to modify in order to get around the step and end up on the right lead.
 
Flying Angels are my least favorite.

I can't think of any other Cathe move I dislike as much.

I love the pump repeaters and I especially love Interval 4 in Imax 2 because of those.

Some of Cathe's moves are very difficult, but I don't dislike them the way I do those gruesome Flying Angels!

They just never feel "right" and I feel out of control.
 
Slap Claps on LowMax. I think there are too many, and they are boring to me. I also think I look really stupid doing them.....

On the other hand, I LOVE power scissors and squat thrust terminators!
 
I think mine is from Imax 3.. can't remember which interval exactly, but its the one where you turn sideways and do jumping jacks off the step in various tempos..

I just know I must look like at total spaz doing them, not to mention, I just can't land delicately.. the whole house quakes during that portion of the workout.

I hate the slap claps too. I don't like them in SJP either. They are annoying,

I love the pump repeaters. I love it when Cathe goes "boom, boom, boom". That's easy & fun.
 
Hey Sandra:) I stopped doing those blasted sashays a long time ago and substitue them with a two knee repeater rebound back, fits perfectly.

Another one I really dislike is from StepWorks right after the stretch, the outer thigh corner to corner then grapevine and shuffle to the other side, I can't for the life of me make this move work!x(

I think it's funny that so many don't like pump repeaters, I love them, feels great on the core,....vive la differance!

Take Care

Don't care for the sa-shays in Body Max. I substitute Figure 8s instead! :) Hmmm...lets see, the uneven lunges she does in Circuit Max kick my butt! She always seems to do those when I'm exhausted and they go on forever! Not that that's a bad thing of course cuz it's a very GOOD thing!}(
 
Slam-its! Everyone else loves them, but I hate them. I love SB except for that move.

I also dislike those hammer lunge things mentioned above--kill my knees. I do them, just much more shallow.

I happen to like power scissors. :+
 
I too hate mambo cha cha's. They mess up the workout. I wish every instructor would do away with them. Why do others think these are so much fun??x( I have found fun modifiers though! I also hate any combos that utilize the top of the step, like hop turns and jumps. Why oh why?
 
I must be weird, I cannot think of any move in a Cathe cardio workout that I don't like. But then again, I was once one of those instructors who came up with the moves you love to hate, hate to love.:)
 
You all crack me up! I have to agree with so many of the things that everyone said:

I don't do flying angels - more just like a outer thigh lift on both sides.

When we do the scoop, I don't do the reverse scoop - just keep it to the front also.

I also don't do the pivot on the peg leg - also scared I will twist my knee weird.

I also hate those sashays ... I need to substitute something there; they seem awkward to me because of the tempo.

But I don't mind mambo cha-cha or the pump repeaters at all!

CATHE - forgive me for starting this thread! We all LOVE your workouts - after all, we're posting on your site!
 
Step sweep, pivot turn, diag basic in LowMax. No matter how many times I tried it I can never get it!

And, oh yeah flying angels..uhhh...

This is funny!
 
I think the ones I "hate" are the most boring, repetitive moves,like:

Sumos
jumping jacks off the step
ricochets
Flying Angels ( just make me feel unsteady )
pony moves
tuck jumps
airborne jacks
 
The moves I dislike are definitely the ponies (I think it's because I feel like I'm going to fall off the board). I can do the pegleg pivot turn but I don't feel like it does anything for me. It feels like a non-exercise move.

I absolutely love the flying angels, tuck jumps, and airborne jacks.
I also enjoy the sashas for the dancy feel.
I have a love/hate with the terminator thrust climbers. I love the majority of them but hate the last four and then love when they're over.
 
Lynn - IMax 3 interval 7 - my most dreaded interval, although it wasn't as hard this morning! (and I secretely like them - I'm weird).

SASHAY's - I look like a bad drag queen doing those. And the Flying Angels - I always feel like I'm just going to rotate off the step and hurt myself - or that I'm just going to continue to turn in circles like a defunct weather vane...

I'm not a fan of Slams. But I do have to confess I like the Terminators. I can't breath when I'm done, but that's why I work out... :)

My absolute least favorite move - the only one that really makes me groan when I think about doing it - DIPS!! I'm with Shelly (Limecat) who said that she keeps hoping Cathe will bring out some guacamole and chips. Hasn't happened - I do P90X too - Tony hasn't brought out any chips either, and I'm getting better at them - but ICK!!!
 
My least favorite moves are dynamic outer thigh and lunges off the narrow end of the step. Ricochets are tough, too.
I enjoy doing the cha-cha and mambos off the step. They break up the athleticism of some of the routines, and they're fun to me.

I can't stand "triples around the board"- I just trip all over myself. With "Slam its" and "shuffle down the board" I can't get out of my own way.
Fun thread.
