Yay! This is the last week of Cathe's weighted Gym Style workouts. They are super effective but tough, so I don't mind shelving them for a while. I hope to get them reviewed and post those reviews soon.
Though this has been a tough four weeks, I've really enjoyed the new and different workouts. Cathe has put together some incredible workouts throughout her long career!
Monday: REST
A stomach bug or something kept me from working out today. Boo!
Tuesday: Cathe's Gym Style: Back, Shoulders, and Biceps + walk + YWA
I was feeling better today so I tackled this Gym Styles workout at 5:30am. I was dreading it but I got through it and am happy to not see it for a while! The bicep work seems endless! At lunch, I walked at the rec center since I got so few steps in my morning workout. It was nice to get away from the office for a bit! This YWA is a great one to come back to - all about flow and breathing. Lovely!
Wednesday: Cathe's Rock'm Sock'm
This was just what I needed - kickboxing! It's been a while since I had a morning of kickboxing so it was a nice change today. Rock'm Sock'm is part of Cathe ICE - intermediate - series but it really packs a punch with some serious cardio drills throughout the workout. The punch combinations were fun.... I really like this one! Obligations after work meant no YWA - which really saddened me.
Thursday: Cathe's Rock Body Boot Camp Live + walk
Time for another metabolic workout (weights + cardio). I'm loving these! This one was a doozy. While the cardio wasn't crazy intense, it raised my heart rate and the weights kept it up. Wow! I was almost struggling to keep up with Cathe's pace with some of the weighted work. But it was fun and I'll definitely have to do this one again! At lunch, I walked at the rec center, working up a nice sweat! I even added on some core work.
Friday: Dozois Peak 10 More Cardio Interval Burn
Since I had an unexpected rest day on Monday, I had to do this CIB on Friday. Oy. These CIBs are not easy in the morning. I got through this one but, like last week, I kept the peaks "low" instead of going all out. This is one of my favorite cardio workouts - it really makes you work! This was definitely a productive morning!
Saturday: Cathe's Quick Fix Cardio Live + Gym Style: Legs + YWA
Time for some serious work today! I needed some cardio and this short, 30-minute Quick Fix was perfect! You go straight into snowboarders after a 5-minute warm-up and you don't stop for the next 25 minutes. Whew! I then did my last Gym Style: Legs workout. Yay! This one is tough and it kept the sweat pouring off of me. And finally, after some sit-ups, I tuned into a nice, relaxing YWA to stretch out my legs. A good morning!
Sunday: Cathe's Cardio Core Circuit Live + Gym Style: Chest and Triceps + Lean Legs and Abs (leg + ab tracks)
I was not looking forward to all this today! I started with cardio - and this live workout really gets my heart rate up there! I like it so much more than the DVD, though. Ha! After that, I did my 72 push-ups and all the rest of this Gym Style workout. What got me through was knowing this was the last time or a long time. I then tuned into Lean Legs and Abs to do the 10-minute toning leg portion followed by the ab track, which I did last week. After all that - almost two hours, I stretched.
Calorie Counts:
I had four really good days and then another bad weekend. And I don't regret the bad weekend - much. Sigh.
