Certified instructor description: An ultra-challenging, truly “gym style” workout. This program works each muscle group in sequence: back, shoulders, biceps. It's all carefully designed to totally fatigue each entire muscle (e.g. there's even a separate routine for the top and bottom of the bicep muscle). Cathe's clear cuing is “gym style” too. There's no fluff — she's there to instruct, encourage and motivate you with her superb technique and amazing stamina. Requires barbells, a stability ball, a 6-foot Dyna-Band, several sets of dumbbells and a step (usually used as a weight bench). The DVD “premix” feature lets you play shorter “timesaver” versions of the full workout. ©2005.
