Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well, week 2 of this Max OT experiment went pretty well! I thought I was going to post more often about it, but I didn't end up doing many videos. I definitely felt the more DOMS this week than last, so I think I did a pretty good job at choosing my weights for the low reps this time. The first week was helpful in figuring out what to use. This program is something I'll probably do on occasion, though I suspect I would get bored with it if I followed it for more than 2 weeks or so at a time. But I think the website offers many different routines, so maybe not. Then again, I've learned 2 weeks is about all the attention span I have for any workouts that are similar! I would have been happier if I had done another day or two of cardio, but I'm satisfied with how the week went, overall. Mon – Legs and calves + Kathy abs Tues – Biceps, triceps, forearms Wed – Shoulders + 45 min on tmill Thurs – Back + Cathe abs + 's Walk Kick Fri – rest Sat - Chest + 20 min rowing The Kathy abs on Monday was stability ball abs from her new Tummy Trimmers dvd. It contains 5 ten minute routines. It was a decent abs workout, and I again noticed (as I did with Project You) that the beat of the music was very well matched to the rep speed. That is always helpful, especially with abs when I don't look at the TV as much. Some of the moves were the same as Amy Bento's stability ball abs from last week. Cathe abs on Thurs was a selection from her Ab Hits dvd (compilation of ~13 abs routines from older videos). I went with the segment from Step Heat. It was just basic crunches – reg, rev, and oblique - but she does the reps quickly, with pulses, holds, and without breaks, so I felt a bit of a burn from it. Nice work, and it moves quickly. 's Walk Kick is probably one of my favorite 's, if not THE favorite, lol. I just really like all of the variety in this one, as she includes tap outs, hamstring curls, etc – in addition to the simple " kickboxing " segments. I wore my weighed gloves and was able to work up a sweat, even. It would be great if she came out with a new workout similar to this one, maybe a little bit longer! Next week will be a light week for me, so I'm looking forward to some less serious workouts! : ) Happy heart day! Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
