September 2021 Monthly Workout Schedule

  September 2021 Monthly Workout Schedule This month consisted of Beach Body Les Mills Pump program, outdoor walking, treadmill walking, Barre Amped Stretching, and KCM 30 Minute-to-fitness workouts. I also did Cathe 2021 workouts, and I got in some old school Amy Bento workouts. Forgot how much I loved Amy Bento Kickbox workouts.  

Cathe Boss Loops Glutes & Core

Image
Boss Loops Glutes & Core is a 52 minute lower body focused workout.  There are three color coded loops. Cathe only uses two of the loops (orange and green) in the workout. The orange loop has lightest tension.   Green loop is medium tension. Blue loop has the heaviest tension. There is a standing segment and a floor segment. Within the floor segment, there is lower body floor and core floor.  Something I did not like about the workout was the fact that Cathe and crew already had their loops on at the beginning of each segment.

DVD Menu Getting Started Play Chapters Premixes  (There are 8 premixes) Audio Settings The workouts use resistance cords that are banded together. The cords are color coded as follows: Orange - easy or lightest tension Green - medium tension Blue - heaviest tension Cathe uses the bands throughout the workout including the warm up and ending stretch. She tells you which band color to grab.  On certain exercises, she will tell you that you don't have to use the band, or to grab two bands.  The only time I sat the bands down was during the biceps section. I picked up dumbbells. So clocking in at just over 57 minutes, I thought this was  a long workout. Most workouts I do nowadays are between 30 and 40 minutes. I was surprised that Cathe made the workout so long. The warm up was 10 minutes.  I will say you are doing a lot in this workout and Cathe
