Cathe Low Impact Circuit

morning morning!!!

wanted to try some of my new workouts! so after playing inny minny, it landed on Low Impact Circuit. 3 cycles of cardio, lower body, and upper body work ending with a short but intense ab workout and a stretch!

i jumped on the pre-order for these but with cathe's injury during filming i figured the pre-order was taking to long for me so i cancelled. only to aquire all from these series LOL. its okay i would have paid full price no matter what. this workout was a lot more fun then in reviews i have read. the step cardio was typical cathe stuff and i thought it was a lot easier to follow. all low impact with some blast segments which focuses more on range of motion rather then how high you jump. that really made the blast work me hard without killing my joints. the lower body stuff was more like shoulder/leg combination and she refers to it at some points as lower body cardio. i could agree LOL. the upper body mixed it up a bit with shoulders in one cycle, arms in the next and then chest and back in the last. but i do believe somewhere in the second cycle were the straddle pushups. you can see a long clip here. the music is motivating especially during some of the blasts. i really like the remix of "girls just wanna have fun".

can't wait to try some of the premixes myself. the workout as produced was fun but it is long so for shorter mornings the premixes would make fun splits like cardio only one day and maybe total body the next, upper and lower body circuits. and of course cathe's mix and match and clear chaptering makes workout possibilities endless! worth every penny!!
