Workout Journal for Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Tonight I did Cathe's Low Impact Step on a 6" step for the first half, and 4" step for the second half (45 min. workout). I know this is supposed to be one of Cathe's more easier workouts, and I guess the choreography could be considered a little more basic...but it ain't easy! I always get a good sweat going with this workout.

Today I did Cathe's Lowmax - First 4 intervals Premix on 4" step (45 min.)

I'm excited that I'm starting to get back in my workout habit. With it getting darker earlier, I'm not so tempted to be outside. And since it's a little cooler, my workout room isn't quite so stuffy.

Tonight I did Cathe's Low Max (Premix - Intervals 1 - 4) - 45 min. on 4" step. I could probably do a 6" step, but I still get a great workout on 4".

Well, I didn't blog my food today (and I didn't do so good there), but at least I got in a good workout: Cathe Body Fusion on 6" step (50 minutes). This is an "easier" Cathe, but I was really sweaty afterwards.
