Cathe Xtrain Chest, Back, & Shoulders - Thoughts
Chest, Back, & Shoulders is disc 1 in the Xtrain series. I honestly don't know the purpose of numbering the disc especially when you can purchase the workouts individually. Anyhow, this workout clocks in at just above 51 minutes.
The workout starts with a warm up. The first 1/2 of the warm up, Cathe takes you through a series of dynamic moves that were upper body focus. The second 1/2 of the warm up, you pick up a set up light weights and then you go through a series of exercises for the upper body.
So there are eight rounds. In each round you start with a Chest exercise, this is followed with a Back exercise and then lastly a Shoulder exercise. Then you repeat this sequence for the remaining rounds however, each of the following rounds you are doing a different exercise. or sometimes it is the same exercise with a variation such as on a incline or with tubing instead of dumbbells.
Equipment used: Stability Ball, Mat, Dumbbells, and Resistance Tubing. You also need a wall for one of the exercises.
The music is instrumental. It has an up tempo beat.
Throughout the workout, Cathe is constantly reminding you to record your weights or your resistance that you use. You are doing 16 reps for most of the exercises. A few times Cathe took it up to 24 reps.
This was an okay workout.
