Flex Train is a total body strength program. It hits every part of your body and it's non-stop, meaning your heart rate will increase. Cathe also includes a lot of compound exercises that work your legs and arms; these always get the blood pounding. I didn't know if I would enjoy this workout but I did! And I was a bit sore the next day, which I like!
After a 7 minute warm-up, you're into weights. First up, legs and shoulders: overhead presses, curtsy lunges with presses, lateral raises, front raises, and rear delt flies. Then, back work - rows and band work. Chest and legs follows that: burpees, push-ups, and lunges, oh, my! Next is torturous triceps: tricep presses, kickbacks while in plank, dips, and push-ups. Ouch! Then, more legs: sumo squats and band work.
To finish off the workout, Cathe hits your core hard. Ankle grabbers! Full sit-ups with a one-arm presses followed by crunches, reverse crunches, and butterfly sit-ups. OUCH!
In it's entirety, this workouts is 57 minutes long. It goes by pretty fast because Cathe doesn't give you much time to think and dread the next move. Equipment needed includes weights, a band, sliding discs, and a loop/firewalker band.
Bottom Line: This is a great, fast-paced strength workout.
