Muh...Muh...Muscle Indurance

[candori]

Others have reviewed this workout in detail, so I'm just going to give my general thoughts.

First, Cathe looks absolutely amazing. I kept looking at her tiny body thinking...a baby?...6 months ago?...impossible! It's nothing short of miraculous to see how sleek and lean she looks (as well as the other gals). Her pumping muscles are truly awe inspiring. She's more beautiful, funny and motivating than EVER. One of the most noticeable things is how natural and at ease she is and how wonderful she comes through the camera right into my workout room.

Now to the workout. This video is fresh, unique, inspiring, cutting edge and most importantly downright fun. I stayed pretty light with my weights as I don't want to burn out on the series right away and I'm lucky I did that because today I was feeling it as I carried my son up the stairs. Those bicep curls...great googly moogly!!!!!!!! (a phrase I love from another poster) Cathe gets deeper into the muscle and has come up with some fasinating ways to work the core. It's the perfect compliment to Power Hour.

And finally, I want to hear from anyone who has actually DONE the Boot Camp workout. Eeeeeee-eeeee-eeeee-eeee gads. I simply previewed it and it's super human. Cathe is super human. These tapes are going to make all of us super human.

Cathe truly has exceeded my expectations with these tapes. I didn't think that it was possible seeing how much I anticipated them...but she did. These tapes are athletic, intense and they are going to (terminator) thrust me into the galaxy. I'm so glad I can share the journey with all of you cyber friends.

DVD'ers...hang in there...you are going to get even MORE than we did.

Hi,
I did muscle Indurance too this morning I kept my weights on the lighter side also. It is a fabulous tape! I am going to try Bootcamp tomorrow. I already have done upper & lower pyramid & cardio & weights. I amso excited about these tapes Cathe is the best.

Thanks for the kind words to us DVDers. We will hang in there. To me Muscle Endurance just sounds exhausting. But fun. How tough was the ab work?

Hey Susan! Just a suggestion I would do Imax 2 tomorrow--Bootcamp has some similiar moves to M.E.( ex-Squats(but plies)Leg press,abwork) I'd separate those 2 videos to give those areas a break and work them differently with another tape--I did M.E again yesterday(love it--I used the medicine ball on my lap this time as I did the tricep dips for more intensity and also did plies versus squats with calf raises) and I did Bootcamp today(if I would of previewed it I would of did another tape and spread it out better!)Just a heads up on not repeating certain exercises--Have fun with your tapes!Your friend in fitness~~Francine

candori, what a fabulous post!
I could NOOTTTT agree with you more!!
Cathe is awe inspiring!
And..I couldn't put my finger on why until today-

I like the fact that Cathe is funny, motivating, and still kicks our butts without being severe..does this make any sense?
I hate instructors that are too too aggressive, like "we're gonna kick your butt!!" or something like this. Cathe lets her workouts speak for themselves! They don't need any bs or hype, it is real!! I am glad Cathe is so personable, it makes the work go by so much faster!

I loved your comments on muscle endurance! Super Human-sounds like a great goal for 2003!~
You guys are great!~
jaime (waitin' for the dvd!)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jan-02-03 AT 02:41PM (Est)[/font][p]Yes! And in other videos have you noticed that the instructors look great, so you know in their own workouts they work hard, but in the videos they use like 3 lb dummbells, don't break a sweat, and say things in seductive voices like, "This is super tough" while trying to not get lip gloss on their teeth. But Cathe is super fit, super motivating, super challenging, and real all at the same time. And that is why she's the best.

Very funny Jillybean. Yes, that's why it was so hard to do the Firm. The instructors were like Stepford Wives. I really dislike those human poodles.
