Showdown: Gin vs. Cathe vs. Mindy

While I was previewing my "Intense Moves" DVD last night, I got to thinking how Gin and Cathe are tuck-jumping machines (whereas I can only squeak out a lower, tuckless version of the move on a good day!). Then I wondered what the outcome would be if they went head to head in a contest, and why not throw Mindy in as well?

My predictions:
Mindy would win in speed work (fast-feet drills)

Gin and Cathe would be very close in terms of jumping, but I think Cathe's smaller size give her an advantage and let her go higher longer.

What do you think (and what other 'contests' would you pit them against each other in, with what results?)?

I don't know about tuck jumping, but I think Gin could kick Cathe's butt in a fight. Gin just has a tougher look about her.

In a "Celebrity Chatmatch" I think Leslie could outchat both Mindy & Charlene, but we'd learn a lot while Charlene's talking.

I don't know... Mindy I think could go on forever. I think she could beat Cathe on intensity and endurance (and thats saying a lot! lol!!).

Gin would win on strength any day. She is one strong woman.

And a chat contest? It'd be Leslie and Mindy in a dead heat! LOL!!

Mindy is an energizer bunny.

Cathe has a pretty serious tuck jump, but Chalene is pretty darn impressive with her jumps also.

I've always thought that Gin was tough!

Peggy, I see it a tie between Leslie and Mindy also.

Question Great thread...glad I checked this one out...

In the chatmatch, it's hard to say who would outtalk whom (or who?). However, Charlene would definitely be easier to listen to over and over, countless times, than Leslie and maybe Mindy.

As far as sheer energy, I don't know about Gin (have a question btw), but Mindy does remind me of the Energizer Bunny, but Cathe doesn't. Maybe it's because Cathe seems more low-key to me.

Now my question: I didn't care for working out with Mindy (someone was kind enough to lend me Cardio Toolbox for a couple weeks), but I don't mind being tortured by Cathe (go figure). CT seemed like a good workout, but I just couldn't get into it. Would I like Gin better? TIA!

First thing that comes to mind:

Gin=one of the best cuers out there

Mindy=one of the worst!!

I'm sure others will weigh in with other bases of comparison.

Gin: The strongest, the best cuer ever and the funniest
Mindy: The fastest and best aerobic endurance
Cathe: The best tuck jump for sure. Gin is close but Cathe's are higher I think.

Okay, now I don't feel so badly about not being able to keep up with Mindy. Cardio Toolbox didn't seem to have such complex or complicated choreography and still I was struggling!
And I did like the two workouts of Gin's I had awhile back, and foolishly let go Ah, but there she is in Collage....
