This workout kicks my butt! I've only had it about 3 weeks and have done it about 4 times. I can't do all the stationary lunges yet because my muscles just burn and I'm only using a 20 lb. barbell! I'm sticking with it and I can't wait till I can do the whole routine with the amount of weight that Cathe uses. It's a goal to strive for. Good luck, Wendy
I've also decided that I can't do this workout at 6am. before work because my arms feel like jelly after all the bicep work and thats not good when I have sharp instruments in people's mouths!(I'm a dental hygienist)

Hi Catherine,
My favorite moves are the glute raises. Yep, those are killers but I felt really sore around my tush area the next day. And how about the static lunges and the low ends ? Phew!! One of Cathe's crew (Brenda I think) kept making pinched expressions on her face, so I was glad it wasn't just me who was suffering at the time :7 !

I love it, but it is a killer. I have learned to love those butt thingies (even though I hate them-;-) ) because I've never had anything that I could FEEL working that area so well right at the juncture of butt and hamstring. At my age (49) that's right where I need a 'pick me up'.
But, yes, it is hard. One of the reasons I so often work out at 4:30 am is so no one sees or hears me crying . :+

Hi Catherine,
I did ME yesterday, and today my chest muscles are so sore!!! I have never felt soreness like this doing chest work before. I will have to add this one to my rotation more often. Torture, yes, but you know you've worked every muscle to the max!

This is my favorite Cathe weight workout! It's really tough, but it's so much fun the time flies by! I did it on Friday and I really felt it the next day!
It must be those glute-raises, they aren't in any other workout I have. But the day after ME, I have major DOMS right where I sit. It's not unusual for a workout to give me DOMS in my hamstrings, but this is higher up. Funny how the glute raises don't seem so strenuous when you're doing them.
Anyone else feel it "there"?

It's those darn side plank raises I woos out on! The one where Cathe places the medicine ball right on the midsection and raises and lowers! I can do a couple with a weight, then it's no weight, then my upper arm has to push on the floor so I can finish out the set! Yikes!
