Default Low impact series and body changes

Hi Cathe and crew!

I posted this question in the "ask Cathe " forum days before the release pf the new LIS, so may have gone unnoticed...But now that I own the LIS and I am enjoying it sooo greatly because it is a revolutionary way of working out, I still keep wondering this: how this new way of working out has affected your beautiful bodies?
Have you noticed any changes in your muscles/weight/cardiovascular capacity? I know this may sound a bit akward because you guys have probably just added these routines to your previous ones ...I was just curious to know about the changes in seasoned athletes because I think you can appreciate faster the results if compared to the average exerciser, am I right?

Anyway, I think this series is amazing, so well structured, challenging, complete...I could go on for hours in telling you how happy I am with this, hope to get the maximum benefit from it as I've done so far with all the other great Cathe's workouts!

Ellie

Bumping this, because now that I've done this series, I'm curious about this, too! Good question!

To me it looks like everyone is longer and leaner in these workouts. Especially Brenda - she looks "sleeker" to me. Here's hoping that works for me, too!

I wore shorts to workout in this morning and there is a definite change in muscle tone in my upper thighs. They actually look like they're thinning out and more difined. I cycle alot so I normally have big tree trunk legs. I've done Turbo Barre 3x's, Afterburn 2x's, and all the rest at least one time through (except cycle max). I also notice when I did Amy Bento's Kickbox Surge this morning, the burpee's with the leg kick were a piece of cake, which normally kill me. I'm really loving this new series!

I did Athletic Training today and noticed visible definition in my biceps/triceps. Now it hasn't even been two weeks, but that muscle definition seems to have appeared out of no where! Needless to say I was ecstatic and can't wait to see what other results I get from LIS.

I definitely am noticing that my cardiovascular capacity is being challenged in a completely new way. Doing cardio in plank position and on unstable, sliding discs is WAY harder than I ever would have imagined. I have only been doing the workouts for about a week, so no noticable changes yet. However, on Sunday I start the November rotation that Cathe posted, so I anticipate seeing some changes during that time.

I decided to go with the LIS/STS combined rotation, but I'm only on day 2 . I did Athletic training and UB Trisets last week, and yesterday was the cardio part of slide and glide and my inner thighs have some impressive DOMS. So I'm really curious to see how this rotation fares at the end of the month, and I would love me some smaller thighs too !

fit@home1, have you contacted customer service to check on your order?

Thnak you all Cathletes for sharing your first results/impressions..!
I am really interested in the effects of the discs as they make the legs work in a totally new way...And I agree with you FitChick that this series is challenging our bodies like never before...I'm still waiting for my discs but tried to do all I could with my paper plates and felt an awesome burn in my legs (esp. when doing planks in Cardio Supersets).Can't wait to read about the results all of you will achieve and hope to have the discs in my hand soon, so that I can tackle Afterburn... And share with you my soreness and DOMS
