Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 What's the exact title of this workout? Thanks! Oh. My.So, I did Cathe's Intensity workout off my laptop this morning since I got the download. Wow. It was a humbling experience!!! The first 30 minutes is step, then there is a high impact HIIT portion, and then after that a low impact HIIT. The HIITs are totally different in how long each are, and the recovery times. The step, and the high impact ones were TOUGH, very very hard. I had to pause it a couple of times to get some water and breathe. It's just non-stop. The music is great, and Cathe's energy is also great. I caught on to the choreography pretty-much right away. Her cuing could have been better in a couple spots, but not bad at all. Next time I do it, I imagine catching on will be a breeze. The Low Impact HIIT is loads easier than the rest. It could easily be modified up though. It surely was NOT by me today though I enjoyed the lighter portion of the workout. There wasn't too much 'new' stuff in here.. maybe a few things, but mostly it's just variations of what she's already done.Oh, an a big bonus to the HIITS were the little timer in the corner indicating how many seconds you had left of the drill, and then of the recoveries too. I did like the workout, but wow is it hard. I think it might be used by me in sections! Not sure how many times I will have that kinda energy to do the whole thing at once again... However, who knows. My HRM wasn't showing that high, and I felt like I was dying. Maybe I'm a bit out of shape with interval workouts..hmm.. In the end, I burned 686 with my average at 139. Can't wait to hear what the rest of you think when you try it!!Dp.s. will post in another e-mail, another DVD I did after this one...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 WOW what a workout! When will I do this one??? NOT any time soon. Are the exercises ALL high impact? Does Cathe have any intermediate level dvds? I think you are in GREAT shape Darcy and you should push yourself more like this. Don't do this workout in sections do the whole this once a week or every two weeks and see how much you improve. I believe people should always challenge themselves. And you should definitely do that when you are in such great overall shape. What are you goals by the way?
