Push Pull

[nancy324]

I didn't work out for about a month or more and now I'm just returning to working out. I want to go slow so that I don't get too sore at first. I started with Push Pull this weekend, and went light and had no soreness at all. I'd like to stick with Push Pull for a while and gradually increase my weights until I can get back to Slow & Heavy and the Pyramids and my usual fare. This is the first time I've used Push Pull. It seemed pretty thorough except for abs. Does anyone else think that Push Pull is very light on the abs?

Hi Nancy....I haven't done Push Pull in awhile myself. Isn't it the one that just has the stability ball crunches?? I usually like doing more abs myself. Although in PP the static lunges really get my quads! Have you ever tried Cathe's ab marathon?...abs from KPC,ME and PUB....I did it yesterday...WOW!!!!.......Carole

I agree that Push Pull is light on the abs. I usually skip the ab work from PP and sub in something else.

When you are ready, try the double set Push Pull premix. It will fry you!!

I typically do the abs twice; once as is, and then the second time I do bike manuever while Cathe does the Supermans and then when she switches to crunches, I follow along with those so I'm getting more ab work, less low back work.

I second the motion for you to try the premix double set. It is great! The abs are the only weak point in this workout. I will usually do the ab sections from SS to get in some more work.

I usually use the workout blender for the abs section and do it 3 times then do the mix & match supersets and do all of the abs from this one. That is so I don't have to change dvd's.

I will try the double set premix and the supersets ab section so I don't have to change DVDs. Thanks for the good suggestions!

I'm confused. Do you have the DVD? If you do then just go to the Super/set workout and do the ab work from that too.

I utilize my workout blender as well and do the abs 2 or 3 times.

If you are still wondering Nancy, I too do the PP abs, and then all the abs from Supersets, starting with the bicycles, then the roll-out on the elbows, then the wood chops, then the side bends (from hardest to easiest for me)

I'm glad you're working out again!
