Certified instructor description: A unique program that's precisely targeted on your biceps and triceps. You get nine sets of exercise pairs — first you'll work your biceps, then your triceps. Despite the muscle group focus, it's amazingly diverse — you'll never repeat the same move twice. Cathe maximizes the variety with an ever-changing mix of standing, seated, floor and inclined-on-the-ball positions. She also varies the weight levels, pacing and equipment (often with optional modifications — “if you prefer not to use the tubing...”). All the exercises emphasize good form while using your maximum possible weight level (the “weight overload" technique). An on-screen display shows Cathe's level and reps. Requires multiple sets of dumbbells, a stability ball and resistance tubing. ©2012.
