Hi Everyone,
I recently ordered 10 Cathe videos (Intensity Series, Maximum Intensity Cardio, MI Strength, Kick, Punch & Crunch and the Ab tape).
I am new to Cathe but not to working out. I soley use the FIRM, but feel like it's time to step things up a notch. I workout 5-6 days a week. For legs I use two 25lb dumbbells. Upper body I go heavy as well.
Now that I have tried Cathe, I feel that I am so not where I thought I was. She is absolutely hard and amazing. I know that I can make my FIRM workouts intense, but there aren't enough sets in them like in Cathe.
So, I am now wondering a few things. Forgive me if this sounds naive, but if I am used to going super heavy with the FIRM, but can't go that heavy with Cathe, will I lose muscle mass that I have gained because I'm now doing more reps with lighter weight? My instincts tell me that won't happen. I want to know for sure though. I've been so successfull with the FIRM that I'm afraid to make changes. It seems silly, but I'm really afraid. Can you explain what will happen by going lighter and doing so many more reps?
I did Muscle Endurance last weekend and could not believe that after 4 sets of leg press on each leg, about 10 minutes later she did more!! This is exactly what I've been needing!! So, can someone ease my fears about the lighter weights thing and tell me that I will see even better results? Thanks so much!! I'm very excited to join you all!
