Good morning!
This morning I did Step Works followed by PS chest, shoulders, triceps. Phew! I had to pause PS after the shoulder work so I could put a pony-tail in my daughter's hair. I could barely keep my arms up long enough to get the pony tail in! My arms are exhausted. Grocery shopping this afternoon should be fun ;( I always enjoy the stretch in SW, with the Leanne Rhimes song. It's very nice.
Laurie, from the perspective of an instructer, what do you think of Cathe's full turn in the second combo of Step Works? I enjoy it as a move, but often think the potential for twisting a knee or ankle is pretty high. I know she suggests modifications prior to the workout, but it still surprises me that she included it. She's never put it in another workout.
Suzanne, how does the intensity of Seasun's workout compare to Cathe's?
Wendy, I'm glad you enjoyed CM so much! I think it's a great workout. Just enough of everything, but not too much of anything. I agree with a comment Laurie made a while ago about the hi/lo being some of Cathe's better work. The stationary circuit with the monkey arms was a nice change of pace from her usual stuff. I wish she would include more of that in her hi/lo work. And the core work at the end is so quick and short it almost feels easy
Jes, enjoy IMAX2! "I know you're tired, but jump HIGHER!" That's my favourite all-time Cathe phrase, and I use it even in my daily life to get me motivated on something. That, and the phrase "Do it anyway..." keep me going when it seems I've got every excuse in the book to quit. BTW, Circuit Max is a really, really good workout, but the music is the same as the CTX series, so I'm afraid you might be less than impressed with that. I know how much you enjoy that CTX music
Sandy, enjoy your gym workout! Bicep work with a 10lb barbell, a la Power Hour endurance training? Sounds like a good weight to me! And it's great, actually, that your arms were tired; it means you worked really hard in your previous workouts.
Carole, LOL about the talking glutes! That's hardly surprising! Quite a workout you did! It's a kind chatter, I hope! Enjoy your run today. This must be an active recovery day for you, with only 5 miles on the menu.
Mariángeles, that's 2 people so far for CM today. A nice workout, hey? And I'm impatiently waiting for the December rotation, too. As well as more details about the HC workouts! The LowMax details were such a tease!
Haylee, what are Sissy Squats? And if squats are what you're after, then LL has plenty!
Marla, did HSTA hit the spot yesterday? How are your legs today?
Have a good day, everyone!
Sandra
