…so I do it at home
I have been on the fence about this program for a long time. I couldn't decide from the information and trailer that Beachbody provided whether I really wanted this program or not. That didn't stop me from following (and bidding) on it on Ebay many times over the past few years. I always lost the … Continue reading Focus T25
As I mentioned in my review of Cathe Live Muscle Max (no step), I prepped for these two live workouts by doing the DVD version of Muscle Max first. This workout caught me by surprise--Cathe did this live just last week. But I managed to rearrange my rotation and make it fit! Muscle Max DVD … Continue reading Cathe Live: Muscle Max with Step
Muscle Max Live (no step) is based on the DVD Muscle Max. So in order to prep for this workout I did Muscle Max (DVD) on Saturday. There are a lot of differences between this workout and the DVD version but we will get to those in a minute. When I set up my workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Muscle Max (no step)
Total Body Reps is the other Cathe Live workout that I believe is based on her DVD High Reps workout. The other one is High Reps Total Body, which I did on Monday. To prep for both workouts I did the DVD High Reps on Saturday. They are all excellent total body strength workouts but … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Reps
Circuit S-W-E-A-T is a great little bootcamp workout. It is not Cathe's most advanced Live workout but it is still a great workout. I really enjoyed it. It is made up of 6 circuits. Each circuit starts with a cardio blast on the step. It is followed by a lower body strength exercise, then an upper body strength … Continue reading Cathe Live: Circuit S-W-E-A-T
Cathe has two live workouts that, at least from looking at their titles, appear to be based on her DVD workout High Reps. So on Saturday I did the DVD High Reps, this morning I did High Reps Total Body (Live) and on Wednesday I plan to do Total Body Reps (Live). I do this … Continue reading Cathe Live: High Reps Total Body
This was a surprisingly intense little metabolic workout from Popsugar and Anna Renderer! And only 20 minutes long. I was very impressed. It has another title (it flashes across the screen at the very beginning) of Cardio Strength Metabolic Mash Up, which is also appropriate. I used it this morning as a "warm up" before … Continue reading Popsugar: Metabolism Boosting Workout
Squat & Plank Challenge is a fun little 10 minute workout from Popsugar. It is led by Anna Renderer. As usual, I used it as an add on/finisher to a Cathe Live workout. It is not terribly challenging to be honest. It is bodyweight training but none of the moves are hard or complicated. But I … Continue reading Popsugar: Squat & Plank Challenge
Bikini HIIT is a fun little 20 minute workout from Popsugar, led by Anna Renderer. I really liked this workout a lot. It was an excellent finisher to the total body strength workout I had just completed. However, what bothers me to no end is the liberal use of the acronym "HIIT" by trainers. This is … Continue reading Popsugar: Bikini HIIT workout
Another excellent total body strength workout from Cathe. I prepped for this one! I did the DVD version of Push Pull on Tuesday. I love Push Pull, always have. It is not advanced but if you use heavy enough weights, you are getting an excellent and thorough total body workout. And in only 44 minutes. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Push Pull Total Body
