The Somebody Stop Me Mish-Mosh

The following is an updated version of the mish-mosh I posted earlier last week under "Stop Me Before I Mish-Mosh Again"; I tried that one last night and felt it could stand a little improvement. Here goes:

For this mish-mosh you need at the very least the I-Max 3 DVD, the Boot Camp DVD and the Kick Max DVD. Optional to use the Interval Max (original) or Rhythmic Step warm-up to substitute for the I-Max 3 warm-up. You also need to have a barbell handy, with a weightload heavy enough to challenge the legs in 32-40 reps but not so heavy that it's uncomfortable to hike over your head 10 times during the session. You also need to keep your remote handy because you're going to do a lot of disc-skipping and pausing.

This is a high-intensity cardio and leg endurance workout.

Warm-up: Interval Max, Rhythmic Step or I-Max 3 (your choice)

I-Max 3 Mix N Match feature:
Blast 6 (8” step); PAUSE and do 32 barbell squats
Blast 4 (floor); PAUSE and do 16 barbell lunges each leg
Blast 9 (8” step); PAUSE and do 32 barbell plie squats
Blast 10(floor); PAUSE and do 16 barbell lunges each leg
Blast 7 (6” step); PAUSE and do 16 squats and 16 plie squats (barbell)
Blast 5 (floor); PAUSE and do 16 lunges each leg

Boot Camp cardio only premix (omitting warm-up):
Intervals 1 and 2; PAUSE and do 40 barbell squats
Intervals 3 and 4; PAUSE and do 20 barbell lunges each leg
Intervals 5 and 6; PAUSE and do 40 barbell plie squats
Intervals 7 and 8; PAUSE and do 20 barbell lunges each leg

Kick Max Boot Camp Challenge
Intervals 1-5 (up THROUGH the 3 vertical jumps + tuck jump);
PAUSE and do 20 squats + 20 plie squats
Intervals 6-10; PAUSE and do 20 lunges each leg

Enjoy!

You're trying to kill us, aren't you? WELL, WE'RE ONTO YOU AND IT WON'T WORK!!!! You'll only make us stronger and then we'll rise up and CRUSH OUR ENEMIES. The army of Cathe will be on the march and we will be unstoppable, I tell you! We will confound our opponents with our kicking and punching combinations, and then, when they are at their weakest and most befuddled, we'll hit them in the head with our barbells! And then we'll do plie jacks on their broken bodies.

I think I need to lie down.
 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this would kill me dead. Literally. But I truly admire everyone who is actually able to survive this mish-mosh. Someday I hope I get to a fitness level where I could actually think about doing something like this. :) But that's why I hang out on these message boards - getting the support and encouragement and evilness that I need!

Oh, and A-jock, after reading that other post about you possibly being Cathe's evil twin... well, the evidence seems to support that theory pretty well. You can only hide your secret so long. If you didn't want anyone to know, you should be posting things like "So, what's a high step?" and "I tried to squat, but couldn't get back up!" rather than all this mish-mosh super-advanced exercise-hell stuff. You obviously WANT us all to know the truth. ;)
 
Who would dare to try to stop A-Jock, assuming she even truly wished to be stopped? Are these cries for help sincere or are they a way to lure out, say, someone like Shelley? She'll say "It's go time", and A-Jock'll kill her because she's mastered these mish moshes and she's really just bored and looking for something to fill the void. Shelley'd do it too. She wasn't kidding about PMS. A-Jock would say "You and what army and Shelley, the Emperor, would turn to find her army had fled and then it would get ugly! I'm afraid I'll not be attempting to stop anyone, let alone A-Jock, and I think joining armies is a bad idea too. I don't care how many peices of exercise equipment we are armed with, that's just a a bad scene, man. Someone could lose an eye or a limb so I am encouraging A-Jock to Mish Mosh like there's no tomorrow!

I want to try this mish mosh tonight, but I don't have Boot Camp. What could I substitute. You earlier suggested the Body Max Power circuit segment. Would that still work, and if I used it, would I still pause and do the lunges and squats, when she's already doing lunges and squats in between segments.

Sorry to be so high maintenance.
 
Possible substitutes:

Body Max power circuit segment as produced (no, you wouldn't need to pause for squats/lunges because they're already in there)

CTX Power Circuit circuit segment, again as produced

High Step TRAINING (2004 release) cardio+lower-body premix

Best option is to go ahead and invest in Boot Camp / Muscle Endurance DVD. The cardio cycles will blast you into a whole new level of cardiovascular fitness.

Thank you oh master of the exquisitely evil torture known as the mish mosh. I will let you know tomorrow (that is, if I am still able to type and think coherently!).

And yes, I will be investing in Boot Camp along with a high step very soon! I promise!
 
OH MY HELL...40 barbell squats and plie squats....I'm sweatin' already just reading this. Do you know how long this killer mish-mosh is? If it 75 mins or less, I will do it tomorrow and report back my results-that is of course if I can pick myself up and come to work!

Love your mish-moshes

Hi, Diana! If you go with the briefer warm-ups (Rhythmic Step or I-max 3), my guess is the running time of the original TSSMMM should be about an hour, maybe a bit less. The Interval Max (original) warm-up is about 13 minutes whereas RS and IM3 are about 9 minutes each.

I didn't realize until I played it a couple of times that the Kick Max Boot Camp Challenge is 15 minutes rather than 10. Think of it. Five more minutes of nose-bleedery than you thought you'd get. Glorious.

A-Jock
 
My nose bleeds everytime I see The Unstoppable One's Name. What would Pavlov make of that? The lak of spelchek might jus pervent a hemerage. Thank Dog. I am going with a touch of dyslexia since I can't figure out how to misspell "thank". Thanc just doesn't kut it. Or duz it? Hmmmm?

Yet another substitution request...I don't have KickMax and really don't want to get it (just not a big kb fan). What can be subbed for the KM segments? I have most everything else.

I was thinking a good way to end this workout would be with 100 or so walking lunges. Then you could call yourself sated.:p
 
You can substitute all 10 blasts only (and I mean BLASTS ONLY - no recoveries) from I-Max 2 by setting it on the Mix N Match feature and going from blast 1 to blast 2 to blast 3 etc. in place of the Kick Max Boot Camp challenge.

A-Jock
 
Oops - re I-Max 2 substitution: make sure to bang out 40 each squats or plie squats after the first five blasts; then make sure to bang out 20 lunges per leg after the 10th blast.

I think y'all are loony and if you can even get out of bed after doing these killer mish-mosh nightmares, I will eat the lime off of Limecat's head.

Man, you women are on a roll today!

Eye haven't laffed soh hard et a thred in a long tiime. ("Thank Dog" - ha!! and "The correct misspelling of 'thank" is 'tahnk. I'm crying here!)

Loved the "eat the lime off limecat's head" comment too!:7
