Mish Mosh Max

Back by popular demand (actually, only the voices in my head are asking for this), following is a comprehensive list of INTENSE DVD mish-moshes for those who like very high intensity cardio work, some of which is cardio-only and some of which is cardio-leg-circuit.

These mish-moshes work best for those with 5-disc DVD players AND for those who do not have any impact-aggravating joint issues. I'd suggest using a moderate step for the step stuff, NOT a high step.

Enjoy!

OMG!!!!!!! I can't wait to try some of these! These sound challenging! I'd love to test myself with these!

What type of 5 disk dvd player should I get? I need to get one for my room.

Thank you so much. Your very creative! I love playing around with Cathe's DVDs. Aren't we just insane?

You are truly amazing, A-Jock. I seriously pictured you in my head tearing into your Hardcores, and guffawing with glee making mental notes of torturous mish-moshes. I didn't think it would come so fast. I underestimated you, apparently! Again, you astound me. My printer is smokin right now. It doesn't believe it, either.

If I live through any of these, I'll let you know how I do!

(Hey, where's the butt-kick lunge sequence you were threatening?)}(

I also LOVE how you signed it, "Love"... made me LOL.
 
A-Jock,

I knew I could count on you to come up with more insane mish-moshes with the new workout series! I'm going to love these! HOWEVER - I need to get a little more used to these workouts FIRST before I try them with your mish-moshes! These workouts are killers in and of themselves! Add on your mish-moshes...well, that is just sheer INSANITY!!!

But we LOVE you for it!

You are an animal. I'm thankful that I don't have a multi disc player.

I got my AllPro 40lb Weighted Vest today (after reading some of your posts about it). It is quite heavy. I got it to make my treadmill workouts more intense. Would you recommend using it for Plyometric training? I know you use it to add weight to your leg workouts do you use it during any other workouts? (As I'm typing this I'm thinking knowing her she probably wears it in the pool to add a little to the aqua workouts ;-) )

RE: Death by Mish Mosh

Please, everyone!

DO NOT ATTEMPT THESE MISH-MOSHES!!!

They are part of a diabolical plot to methodically get rid of fit humans and squirrels so that the evil mastermind behind them can rule the world.

You must resist...
 
Hi, Tracy! No, I don't use my weight vest for anythiing other than my own "slow and heavy" leg strengthening. I'm such an easy muscle builder that I need it for much more than that. If you are to use it for plyometric training, I'd proceed VERY cautiously, because the impact forces are greatly magnified with even a seemingly small amount of extra weight (say, 5 or 10 pounds).

And LCSavik - I think you were the one who wanted a rec on a DVD player - my Sony 5-disc changer has never failed me yet.

RE: Death by Mish Mosh

Susan-- You made me laugh so hard. Your too funny!

AJock- I'm going to hunt me down a 5 disc DVD player.
