Week four....and we're about five weeks until I'm in a bikini again! Eeek!
Monday: Cathe's Cardio Fusion + YWA
I first did Cardio Fusion in October and really enjoyed it, I think. Honestly, I don't remember; but I did enjoy it today! This is mostly steady cardio, which is always a nice change with Cathe. It was a bit of a challenge on my sore feet (from a weekend of cardio) but I stuck with it and got through it. I even added on about 5-7 minutes of my own work to make it an even 45 minutes. After that, this YWA was really good. Dedicate is turning out to be a very special series.
Tuesday: Cathe's Strong and Sweaty: Ramped Up Upper Body + walk + YWA
Ramped Up Upper Body is one of my favorite upper body workouts from Cathe. Why? Because it's succinct and tough, if you use challenging weight, as I do. Cathe hits every muscle - and you feel it. At lunch, I walked and was amazed at how sore my upper body was, already. And after work, I switched out the Dedicate videos and did Wednesday's today. It was heavy on abs so I worked!
Wednesday: Cathe's Oh My Quad + walk + YWA
Considering I really hurt my left quad on Saturday, I was dreading this leg day. My quad was better today - maybe 85% - but it definitely let me know if was tired throughout this workout. As a result, I went lighter on the weights - and still got a great workout. At lunch, I walked and stretched the legs really well. I'm getting tired of their soreness! And after work, this YWA, which I intentionally wanted to do today, instead of yesterday, was wonderful.
Thursday: YWA + YWA + YWA
Are you laughing at my workouts today? Ha! I am. It was my rest day, as usual, so I went to do today's YWA: Dedicate, which was lovely. But I had time to kill so I went ahead and did Saturday's.... And that was also lovely. Then, at the end of the work day, I tackled Friday's Balance practice. I love doing YWA every single day, but sometimes, life gets in the way..... So I took preemptive measures!
Friday: Cathe's ICE Total Body Compound Live
This was my second time to do this workout. I was really looking forward to it and it wasn't quite what I remembered. It was good but I must have remembered something else. Cathe leads you through compound moves that keep your heart rate relatively high. I was out of breath, which was good! No YWA today, as expected.
Saturday: Cathe's STS Plyo Legs + YWA
Second leg workout of the week, done! This one was good - but it seemed to take forever. So many breaks between each exercise meant it seemed to drag today, for some reason. I did 45 minutes and the stretched really well. This YWA is meant for Sunday but I downloaded it early and did it today. It was very nice!
Sunday: Cathe's Strong and Sweaty: Cardio Slam + abs + YWA
Cardio time! I really enjoy Cardio Slam...but I forgot how intense it is in the beginning! Whew! My heart rate skyrocketed to 180 and stayed there for the first few exercises! Wow! After that 45 minutes, I did Cathe's new LITE series ab workout - well, one of the two. It didn't kill me, so that's saying something. I was amazed. Finally, after that, a stretch and Monday's YWA. I was so tired.
