this morning i started with the planned body max 2 upper body workout. this workout is done with a stability ball and 2 sets of dumbbells but you can mix it up. b/c hey she uses 15lbs as her heavy and i just can't do chest flyes with 15lbs right now. especially with her tempo changes although unlike her other workouts there isn't many reps. so its possible to go heavy but the tempo changes may make going your absolute heaviest difficult. a fun workout though in that you get it all in 20 minutes. only cathe can make a short workout then burns just as much as a longer workout. i did managed to get the list of exercises from the chapter menus....
double arm rows
pullovers
rear fly
decline push ups
wide push ups
chest fly
overhead press
shoulders circles/lat raise
hammer curls
incline culrs
concentration curls
32 dips with leg up(each side)
seated ball extensions
kickbacks
afterwards since i alredy did abs last night i figured i add on cardio. with some time to spare i did a body wisdom media workout with ultimate body workouts for weight loss doing boot camp #2. although the instructor is annoying, she doesn't mirror her cues, and some of the camera angles make it hard to know what leg they are on, this dvd overall was a good find at a thrift store. the cardio is very basic stuff. there are 2 bootcamp and 2 kickboxing. the bootcamp combines athletics like jumping jacks, shuffles mixed with squats and even MORE push ups(try that after cathe LOL). while the kickboxing is basic kicks/punches. the cardios are only 20 minutes and there is also body sculpting work at 10 minutes per spot(upper,lower,abs as well as 2 more abs for each kickboxing and bootcamp). in actuallity there is a warm up and cooldown for the cardio so the actual body of cardio is 10 minutes. but this makes a great add on b/c you get plenty of stretch before and after the workout and that gives you a change to work out the "pain" from the previous workout. i just find it a great add-on or coming back from haitus dvd. i wouldn't pay full price but its worth a look if you like easier workouts.
time to shower
