Thanks Elsie - it REALLY helps to know I'm not waiting alone.

Cathe Live #363 Boss Bands & Loops Metabolic Workout
I wasn't sure where to post my review of Cathe Live #363 Boss Bands & Loops Metabolic w/o (57 min). I thought if someone wasn't thrilled with the DVD version of these workouts, they may be interested in trying her Cathe Live version. I thought it was significantly different than her dvd. Yes, there were some repeats of exercises but I still thought it seemed fresh, especially using the weights along with the bands/loops this time.
This consists of standing work and floor work using the green medium band and the green medium loop. Standing work ends at 40 min. mark and floor work ends where stretch begins (52 min.) This would be great either wanting standing work or floor work when short on time and wanting to break it up. I found this really sweaty but I'm not sure I would deem it a metabolic workout. It has some cardio but not much and can be all done low impact. Cathe uses 10#'s, 12#'s & 15#'s and both green fabric bands (medium strength). I matched Cathe's weights (I think I used 12's for the biceps though) & used the blue fabric band (heavy strength) until the tricep work (then switched to her green band that is overhead work). I had on my pink fabric loop (medium strength which has a tad more resistance than her medium loop and down lower on my thighs). Standing work: Cathe starts out gung-ho from the w/u! It is a very active warm up sure to warm you up well. Using the blue band for straight arm shoulder raises, I did bent arm raises instead (my shoulders like those better and the ROM using the blue band was easier to do with bent arms). But I switched to the green band for the overhead triceps and going right into the tricep pull-downs...holy cow! My arms were fried by then (esp. on that 2nd side that had less downtime!). Cathe works all UB muscle groups but doesn't work chest until the floor work. Floor work: This consists of basic hydrants and leg lifts with loop, push-ups, and chest presses/flyes with legs pulsing out and knees pulsing out. I loved the bear hovers while pulsing knees out!! I didn't do the push-ups as shown but did push-ups with the ball (easier for my arthritic hands). I think there was maybe one core exercise (side planks) but every other exercise, core is worked indirectly, which I appreciated the diversity from the dvd. Stretch: This was longer than Cathe's usual Live stretches (around 5 min.) and was appreciated. I did have to add on another stretch just b/c I like to feel totally stretched out! I added her PHA3 Extended Lying Stretch. I burned around 310 calories and 13 min. in the FB zone and 43 min. in the Fit zone, which I found surprising, as strength workouts are usually categorized to be mostly in the FB zone for me. So, maybe this was more metabolic after all? As an aside, I think maybe shortening the standing portion would have been better, since to me, it got a little long (40 min.). But just the time I started to feel this way, she was on to the floor work. Overall, I am thrilled I bought this D/L! I think it differs enough from the DVD and Cathe is so fun with her jokes, etc. and it was so nice to see the class behind her! Yay!!! A big thumbs up from me!! (I would appreciate it if someone could add "Cathe Live version" to the tags....I can't edit them. Thx!) ETA: Thanks, Linda! Here is the clip on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY_Rcs8SHxQ |
