Gloved Up and Sweaty is one of Cathe's latest (2023) workouts.  It is a kickboxing inspired workout that clocks in at just over 39 minutes.  The workout includes four cardio kickboxing segments, four kickboxing combo segments and one kick combo.    The cardio segments include high intensity blast such as ice breakers, burpees, and jump knees. Equipment list includes Boxing Gloves. There is a new set for the 2023 workouts. I like it. I like the music selection as well.  You are really not working out to the music but it does have an energetic beat. There is a bonus jump rope workout. I have not done that yet.

Total Body Barbell clocks in at just under 50-minutes.  It features Cathe, of course and four other cast members. Cathe  works with the barbell or plates used on the barbell throughout the workout. She tells you that you can replace the plates with dumbbells.  Other equipment used include a mat and a step bench. The DVD Menu Equipment List Play Workout Play Weight Plate/Barbell Bonus Chapters Premixes Audio Settings Cathe starts the workout with a long warm-up. First part of the warm, you use no equipment. Second half of the warm-up, Cathe picks up the barbell.  Following the warm up, Cathe hits each muscle group starting with legs, back, biceps, shoulder, chest, triceps, and core. There is no set groupings. Exercises will repeat but with a different rep pattern. There are seven premixes ranging in time from 18-minute to 60 minutes. I like this workout and I love the new set. Super fresh looking. 4 & 1/2 stars

2024 Consistently Showing Up So that I can achieve my goals. That will be my focus this year.  I will still be practicing intermittent fasting (IF). My fasting protocol approach this year is: 16:8 or 18:6 Saturday - Thursday 36 hour fast on Friday. So the fast will go from approximately Thursday 6pm to Saturday 6am. This year I will be planning and hopefully doing a lot of self-care style workouts (i.e. mobility, stretching, active recovery, yoga etc). I will keep you posted on how that evolves.  Planning on taking it one session at a time.  I am looking forward to 2024. Hope you are too.
