Cathe Perfect 30: Perfect Flow - Thoughts

Image
Perfect 30 Perfect Flow is one of three DVDs that are a part of Cathe's 2020 Perfect 30 series.  This series does come with a User Guide that you can download from Cathe's website. The workouts on Perfect Flow are: Yoga Strength & Flexibility  Mobility Basics Core Bonus   Yoga Strength & Flexibility has a run time of 31:54. It is fairly slow moving, yet you are not really holding any of the postures for a significant length of time. When I saw the exercise list for this workout (which was only about 10 moves) and saw that sun salutations were first; I thought we were in for a super long segment using this move, but  no, it was not that long.  I enjoyed the balance and hip opener segments.  Mobility Basics is 31:26 in length.  This workout is about range of motion. Cathe would move you in and out of a move repeatedly.  Cathe states that this workout is about helping you identify the imbalances in your muscles and joints. There is a bit of stretching with some of the mo

Perfect 30 Perfect HiiT is one of the DVDs that is part of Cathe's 2020 series.  The Perfect 30 series contains six 30-minutes workouts and several short bonus workouts.  There is also a User Guide that you download from Cathe's Website.   Perfect HiiT comes with the following workouts: High Impact HiiT Low Impact HiiT Pyramid HiiT Bonus Extended Stretch Bonus High Impact HiiT clocks in at 30:49.  Each exercise gets repeated at least twice. Some are more.  For me, this workout had too many squat thurst/burpees.  Over half the exercises featured this move. Also I missed the timer/countdown clock. I recently did Cathe's first Hiit Workout that was part of STS Shock series and I like the timer feature and wish she had added it here. Low Impact HiiT clocks in at 30:51.  While High HiiT featured lots of squat thrust/burpees, Low Impact HiiT featured lots of squatting type moves.  To keep the moves low impact, Cathe utilized lifting actions instead of jumping moves. Although

Cathe's 2020 series is Perfect 30.  The series has six 30-minutes main workouts and several bonus workouts.The workouts are spread across three DVDs if you bought the DVD option. You can also get the series as a download.  There is also a user guide that you can download from the Cathe webiste. Perfect Pump contains the following workouts: Upper Body Lower Body Upper Body Bonus Lower Body Bonus Core Bonus Extended Stretch Bonus  I did Lower Body and Lower Body Bonus first. Lower Body clocked in at 30:48 and the Lower Body Bonus clocks in at 7:39. The workout moves quickly. Cathe uses heavier weight than normal on several of the exercises.  With the exception of the calf raises, the reps for each exercise were between 10 and 12 reps.  Along with dumbbells, a high step, weighted plates and dixie cups were used.  The plates were used just to elevate your toes.  I enjoyed this workout.  I think this is going to be a favorite Cathe lower body workout for me. Upper Body clocks in at 3
