Okay - gotta ask new Cathes

[Guest guest]

What do you all think of Cathe's announcement

regarding her proposed new workouts? I'm sure there

is a thread a mile long on VF - that will include

every emotion from elation to hostility - but you guys

are my trusted fitness friends - what do you all

think? Who is gonna cave?

I'm leaning towards NO. I've had a hard enough time

sticking with P90X. It also seems a bit pricey,

though not quite as bad as what I imagined the cost

potential to be. I suppose if it were going to be my

only purchase this year, I could swallow the price,

but I know me too well and there is no way I could buy

this and then follow through without buying anything

else this year and/or severely curtailing my other

purchases. Especially since I want to try kettlebells

and get some heavier body bars, too!

I think my difficulty in sticking through P90X is the

way the splits are broken down and Cathe's will have a

similar breakdown. I think I'm a more " total body "

kinda girl.

It also sounds that although there are 37 DVDs for

this price, each group for each cycle will contain

repeat footage and basically be the " pre-mixes " so

although 37 DVDs for the price sounds good, it really

wouldn't be 37 " brand new " workouts.

It does sound like a great program though for those

that would be able to stick through the 3 1/2 months.

I think I'm leaning more towards getting P90X plus

(cheaper, and more focused on total body workouts),

P90 Masters, and either some or all of the P90X

workouts. I actually really like Tony's programs -

yes,the workouts can be a bit boring and Tony can be

over the top sometimes, but I think he designs a good

program. Sometimes with Cathe I get the sense that

her goal is to give you " hard for hard's sake " whereas

with Tony I have the sense he is giving you " hard for

a reason... "

Anyway, that's my two cents. If I have time later

I've got to pop over to VF to read the thread - I'm

sure it is pretty funny at times!

Take care!

Donna
