Cross Train Express: 10-10-10

Cathe Friedrich
Year Released: 2000

Categories: Boxing/Kickboxing/Martial Arts , Step Aerobics


This workout features about 10 minutes of three different kinds of cardio: kickboxing, hi-lo, then step. The flow from kind of aerobics to the next is pretty smooth so it's easy to just follow along.

The strength segment is for triceps: Cathe starts with lying triceps presses with heavy weights (I used 15# dumbells and it wasn't easy!). This is a pre-exhausting exercise followed by extensions with (I believe) 10# dumbells. After that you can stand up and do a supersetting series: overhead extensions (with 8# dumbells) alternating with kickbacks (with 5# dumbells).

She follows with a nice stretch.

One thing I love about this whole series is the music. It's absolutely the best of any workouts I've ever heard. Love it all:)

Instructor Comments:
I really like working out with Cathe and her crew. I am wondering where some of these ladies have gone on to though. Brenda and Rhonda are in attendance, but no Lorraine, Jai or Cedie.
Cathe seems to really love her work and her joy comes through pretty nicely. This is especially appreciated since you're working so hard. Cathe tries to make it more fun!
