Friday - Cathe's Push/Pull

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I needed another shorter workout this morning, so I

went w/ Cathe's Push/Pull which is only 45 minutes.

Most die-hard Catheites find this one to be too easy,

and it is easier than her norm - but I still like it -

a good variety of exercises (some of which use the

stability ball) and she doesn't kill you with reps and

sets! I tried to go a little heavier (for me) on this

one since she only does one set of each exercise. She

also moves quickly from one thing to the next - so

sometimes you do need to pause to set up. I have this

one on VHS, so I don't have access to all the

pre-mixes and combos on the DVD (Its companion on the

DVD is Supersets) Someday, when my wishlist is

shorter (HA!) I'd like to get this one on DVD.

Here's how it went: (BTW, it is called " Push/Pull " b/c

you work alternating muscle groups with no rest

periods in between)

Barbell Squats - 28 lb bar (Cathe uses 40 - I could

probably handle more then 28...maybe next time)

Deadlift - 23 lb bar (I probably could do more, but I

realy worry about deadlifts, I do really focus on

form, but I just worry about my back!)

Static Lunge w/ heel elevated (front heel is on a

wedge - 3 lb weight) - i used 10's like Cathe

Leg Press - I used 1 15 lb weight like Cathe (I know i

could do more, but I get psyched out when I see cathe

only use 1 15 lb weight! LOL!)

Bench Press - 15's (I think Cathe used 20's and I

probably could, too, 20's are my next present to me)

Dead Row - 23 lb bar

Flys (on ball) - 10's

" Y's " (on ball) no weight

Inverted Shoulder Press (skipped this one and did the

modification w/ Cedie - 2 10's)

1 Arm Row - 15's

Front Raise - 10 and 8 (one weight used)

Rear Delt on Ball - 3's

Bicep Curl w/ leg on ball for balance challenge - 10's

Slow Dip/Tricep Kickback - 8's

Outer Thigh & Inner Thigh on ball (no weight)

Superman on Ball (no weight)

Crunches (no weight)

calves (no weight - I always think of when I

do calves - I hate working my calves!)

shins using ball (no weight - a great exercise to do

to prevent shin splints,I have to remember this one!)

Overall I felt like I got a decent workout in!

Tonight I will get some yoga in - I don't have to try

to be in bed early and DH will be home late, so even

if I start yoga at 9, that will be fine.

Take care everyone!

Donna
