I was absolutely shocked, but I got through them. (YAY!)
I've gradually gone from not being able to do even one pushup on my toes when I first started working out, to being able to do the usual 2 sets of 16 that you see on most of Cathe's workouts. I've always dreaded them, though, because they're definitely no walk in the park for me, and I don't usually get anywhere near the perfect form and low positioning that she does. (Some days I feel pretty strong and can get pretty low, some days not so much.)
When I read the description of GS C&T, I remember saying to myself, "I'm NEVER going to be able to do all those push ups!!". So when I put the DVD in last week, I started the push ups never thinking I was going to doing all of them, but amazingly I got through it! The last few were brutal, but I was SOOOO thrilled. I had to tell my mom the next day "I did all the push ups on my new DVD!!. Of course, she thought I was nuts, but it was actually exciting considering at one time I couldn't even do one lousy push up.
I am so happy that I found Cathe. I thought I was in pretty good shape with the workouts I was doing before I tried hers, but since I started working out with her I'm always amazed at the progress I've made, and continue to make. I just wasn't getting these kind of results with anyone or anything else.
