OVERVIEW
BOSS BANDS & BOSS LOOPS
Time to put down your weights and grab your Boss Bands and
Boss Loops! We all know that weights are great and they will al-
ways be a staple in our fitness lifestyle, but a well-rounded strength
and endurance routine requires us to mix things up to challenge
our muscles in different ways. The new Cathe fabric Boss Bands
and fabric Boss Loops call on your muscles to perform in new
ways from head to toe through a variety of compound move-
ments and resistance variations. Great for at home or on the go,
these Boss Bands and Boss Loops will add a whole new dimension
to your fitness routine! Cathe has designed these two workouts,
Boss Bands: Total Body and Boss Loops: Glutes & Core, to be
challenging for both your muscles and your mind as you learn to
master your movements against the fabric resistance. These are
great workouts to incorporate in your fitness schedule when you
want to work your muscles, but don’t want to work with weights.
In Boss Bands: Total Body you’ll work through an extended work-
ing warmup before moving on to multiple compound strength
segments that will challenge each muscle group with various
resistance changes. As you become stronger within each segment
you can choose a higher resistance band level to keep yourself
challenged. The workout will finish with a focused core segment.
In Boss Loops: Glutes & Core you will work your legs, glutes, and
core from all angles with challenging standing and floor work
exercises as well as some sweaty cardio pushes! You’ll begin
with standing lower body strength and cardio followed by glute
focused floor work and a challenging core segment. As with the
Boss Bands, the Boss Loops also come in three resistance levels
which should be increased as you get stronger with the routine.
In this user’s guide you will find three rotations to get you started
with Boss Bands: Total Body and Boss Loops: Glutes & Core.
Choose the rotation that best fits your needs. It’s recommended
that you watch the routines one time through before getting
started. Don’t be discouraged if you find yourself needing extra
time to get into different positions with your Boss Bands and Boss
Loops at first. Once you get comfortable with them you will find
that the transitions will become smoother and more comfortable.
Whether you choose to use these DVDs as stand-alone
workouts, choose to use one of the provided rotations in
this guide to follow, or use them as part of an existing fitness
regime, you will not be disappointed with your results!
