Friday - last workout at this address - cathe's rhythmic step

[Guest guest]

Hi,

For my last workout at my soon to be " old " address I

did Cathe's Rhythmic Step for the first time! I

actually have had it for awhile, but I was " afraid " of

it - so I never tried it. Boy, I really enjoyed it

and wonder why i didn't try it sooner. The

choreography is kind of tricky, but I was able to pick

up most of it. I only really had trouble when linking

the parts of the combos together. I did fine learning

the individual moves and the smaller parts of the

combos, but when it came time to put everything

together I tended to get a bit lost. Still, I can see

myself mastering this one. It is also pretty intense,

but without " blast " or " intervals " - nice! Cathe

teaches three combos, within those three combos she

breaks each one down into two parts - and then links

it together for the complete combo. There are lots of

turns, also quite a few moves done on the step - which

I always ahve a bit of trouble with as I have to

adjust quite a bit to do some things on the step

without losing my balance, over stepping, etc. I

didn't make it quite through the " finale " which is the

rhythmic challenge where she links all three combos

together and takes it from the top at least twice on

each side. I went through it once, then I gave up -

my brain was tired and I was totally sweaty.

I will definately give this one a try again - I can

see myself getting it all eventually. I think with

Cathe the more you do, the more you're able to follow

her. I've been on a Cathe kick since around April.

I'm probably going to disappear for the rest of the

weekend as we'll be moving - also no phone or cable

yet at the new house - that will be on Monday - so

I'll wrap up with my weekly check in now:

Sunday - Rest

Monday - Cathe Cardio Kicks

Tuesday - Cathe Power Hour

Wed - Christi Mission Possible

Thurs - Cathe High Step Challenge (Hardcore)

Friday - Cathe Rhythmic Step

Sat will be funcional work in moving, etc.

My plan for next week is to just do what I can - I

don't know how much of a mess I'm going to have with

the move. I'm thinking of pulling out my T-tapp

workouts and doing those - it'll be interesting to see

what, if any, results they bring, but they're great

for busy times as they need virtually no space and no

equipment. I actually may stretch them out for two

weeks as the following week I'll be on vacation. I

did get good results with them after my DD was born

(they're perfect for newborns as you can squeeze just

parts of them into your day here and there). I may

also do some yoga - if the house is a wreck, and I

suspect it will be, I'll do it out on our patio with

my mini player.

Food this week was fair - I did well with quantities,

not so great with quality. I'm sure it is the result

of not having time to cook, etc.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great day and weekend. I

should be back on Monday!!
