I have to admit, I love CTX. The music, the organizations of each segment, the exercises themselves. If you have the dvd, it would be fun to create your own "premixes". I did this last night, doing the warm-up and cardio from 10-10-10 and the triceps, followed immediately (though on the second disc) by the biceps and cardio from Kickboxing.

Kickboxing's cardio is like a mini-version of Cardio Kicks I think. Some serious leg drills, then a combo or two, and some awesome arm drills. I'm always amazed how high my heart rate stays while my legs are pretty still. Those arm drills can be downright violent (but keep the motions controlled), you're working so hard!

The biceps start with "crazy 8's"...this will really fry those poor biceps and you're just getting started! Then she goes to a three count up and one down. Then it's alternating curls followed by rotating alternating curls...the second group of curls start out like hammer curls then you rotate your palm inwards. She ends with concentration curls. My biceps always complain the next day!!!

As always, she ends with a nice stretch.

Instructor Comments:
Cathe is a comfortable fit for me as a video instructor. I'm not sure I can really explain it. I like her level of enthusiasm and her goofy sense of humor. I also like her take-no-prisoners attitude...she is dead serious about working hard and getting a lot done in as little time as needed! She's rather no-nonsense and challenging and encouraging.
