Cathe Live: Sweat, Jump & Pump

Another tough and awesome cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live. This one really wore me out! Excellent total body strength training plus intense HIIT level cardio. I loved it! She calls it “random” training, I guess because there is no pattern to the strength and cardio intervals. It moves pretty quickly, too. And Cathe does a great job hitting every muscle group. I would say the only muscle group that didn’t get a specific exercise is your triceps, but they are ancillary muscles used in so many other exercises she has you do that they get worked anyway. This is one I will definitely be returning to frequently! I definitely needed longer than a 2 minute stretch after this workout. I followed it up with STS Extended Stretch. However, that is 15 minutes long. So in the future, when I do this on a regular work day, I will probably finish it off with something like Flex Train‘s stretch.

Sweat, Jump & Pump is 55 minutes long; 7 minute warm up and 2 minute stretch. Equipment needed: sliding disks, a resistance band w/ handles, a fitness mat and  various dumbbells (Cathe used 5s, 8s, 10s, 12s and 15s; I used all of those, too, but I also used one 25, but in the future I will swap a 30 for the 25 and 7s for the 5s–all of this is in the breakdown below).
