Push Pull

[Francine]

Hi fitness friends,

I just finished Push and pull this morning(3 down and 3 to go}(

This workout has unique exercises that will challenge your muscles differently! She goes Heavy(on large muscle groups) w/ slower tempo changes varying throughout and mostly 2/2's to feel the positve and negative work! She really cooked up a great workout here for us!Going heavy and doing one set makes the moves more concentrated and effective! It's a definitle fresh change of pace from the endurance workouts!

This workout has endless options when the dvds come out!

Here's a huge ++++++

It can be done with tubing or dynaband! woo-hoo

Anyone who does tubing knows that 16 reps is TUFF stuff and fries the
muscle just right! I went onto fitness video fanatics,downloaded the worksheets from Joni http://www.fitnessvideofanatics.com/catheites/catheworksheets.fit
I used the tubing for all the exercises to experiment and it was VERY fitting with this workout! I used the dynaband on the Y's on the ball just for an added stretch at the top and it felt really good!

I'm soo happy with all this variety Cathe has given us, she made sure we kept the dust off our equipment;-)

I loved this workout, too! I went really heavy and to me, with the variations, I felt very well worked, but also energized. (Does that make sense?)

Francine, I am curious and it will probably be a stupid question, but when doing the Y move on the ball with the tubing or bands, would you position the band under the ball, or under your feet?

Definitley not a stupid question when it comes to tubing you have many options of placement! You want to find a placement that is comfortable & CORRECT in working the TARGET muscle group(nothing awkward feeling)! I put my tubing under the ball( it all depends on your length of tube(you may have to make grip adjustments too)Then I used the dynaband(a long towel,or tie would work too)for the Y's on the ball just in front of me(not under anything and lifted up and stretched the band)(then I sat on the ball an did 16 reps of lat pulldowns with the dynaband just cause the stretch felt that good ;-)
