Cathe: Kick, Punch & Crunch

[Guest guest]

I hadn't done Kick, Punch & Crunch in a year or two and had a blast today!  Leza came over and we did the entire tape, pikes on the ball and all!  I could only pike to my knees, but hope is to be on my toes before the year is up!  I used a 12 lb dumbell for the pullovers on the ball.

This workout has been reviewed to death, but basically this is an intense cardio kickboxing workout, but the moves aren't that complicated.  I would say this is a 9 in intensity but only a 6 in complexity.  It is 68 minutes long and has a nice warmup and cooldown section, including pigeon pose, which I desperately needed.  This workout is from 2003, and I got this tape on a $5 clearance from Cathe's website when she got rid of her workouts on vhs.  At the time, even the vhs tape of this went for $15+ !  This workout is generally considered a treasure. 

The ball workouts I've been doing lately really helped me for the pikes, even if I was only doing the knee ones and not the complete V ones.  I have improved a lot since my last time kicking, punching and cruncing with Cathe!

Mother Nature gave me her monthly present early, and I'm so happy!  That means I won't be like this on Tuesday when I get my second session with Noel, who has informed me that he is going to kill my chest.  <gulp> I have pretty much made up my mind to buy some sessions from him. I'm selling all kinds of stuff on Ebay and will use the PayPal $ to fund this, which will also help me declutter. 

I'm teaching a fun mix tomorrow, a blend of Turbo Kick Round 22 and also a Rogue Underground 1.7 mix, which is just like Turbo Kick only made by an indie friend of mine.  It will be fun! Hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start!
