Thank you Chele! I just pre-ordered the new series. It sounds like it's what I'm looking for. I think before it arrives I'm going to try the Ice series. It's always hard for me to get back into working out after taking a break. Never taken a break this long though, so I feel a little...

Hi everyone! A little bit about me and then my questions. If you want to skip the sappy stuff, skip to the end. :) I used to be a regular on here, but have been gone for several years. My husband passed away unexpectedly after complications from heart surgery in 2014 and I lost the desire...

Great advice! Thank you so much for your help. :)

I often think this. Now that I have a mirror in my workout room, I see all the faces I make and notice all the wrinkles (esp. the "11" lines b/w the brows). Yikes! Makes me know I could never be a background exerciser. I don't know how they keep a smile on their face - I know I couldn't!

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! I will definitely try your pointers. So, would you say you use more weight for the back fly than for the rear delts? I think I try to use too heavy of a weight for the rear delts and end up working the back. Need to use a lighter weight and...

Thanks for the bump Paula! I'm anxious for an answer too. :)

Great - thanks! You did what I was trying to avoid - type it all out. And to top it off, I am aiming for the 90-day Undulating one. That would take me hours to type out, lol.

Did XTrain Chest, Back, and Shoulders last night. Love it! But what am I doing wrong? Round 4 Bent Over Rear Delt Drop Sets seem the same as Round Six Back Fly on Stability Ball (which I don't like the feeling of so I do them bent over). The first is a shoulder exercise and the second is a back...

Rather than refer to my manual or resorting to re-typing a rotation, I'm wondering if the rotations are listed somewhere so we can print them out? ETA: I'm referring to the XTrain rotations.

Oh yes, I know that, thanks. I should've clarified that I meant I'd alternate them on my weight training days, every other day or two, as you suggested. And after reading what I just typed, I'm not sure that made much sense either, lol. Hopefully you know what I was trying to say.

Thank you so much for the helpful link and your input! I'm looking forward to alternating STS and High Reps. :)

I haven't done that premix yet, but I remember reading that back is not included in that premix. To get a full upper body workout, I think you need to choose the Full Upper Body First premix.

Hi! I've been a longtime Cathe fan. In January, I finally got back to working out after a year+ off. I'm wanting to use some of my new (to me) workouts in a rotation. I got STS TB and High Reps last year, but only recently tried them. Have used High Reps a few times, love it. Did STS upper...

abritrn - Thanks for the reply! I will do a rotation that is more endurance focused. Regarding your question, I did not use the 1RM calculator for it. In fact, I've never done that calculation for anything (I don't have STS). I just used the heaviest weight I could handle to complete the...

I have one more week of my S&H rotation and am wondering what to follow it up with. Should I do something more strength oriented like Pure Strength or the Gym Styles? Or should I do something more endurance related with high reps - Power Hour, Muscle Endurance, Muscle Max, High Step...

Ok, thanks...you know, I always have the intention of working out on vacation (squats, pushups, etc.) but never end up doing so. Now I'm wondering if I really need it or not after all...lol.

Is today the last day to pre-order the Travel Fit workout? Also curious, have you ordered it? Why or why not? Does it come with a band? Thanks! Melissa

I'm going to have to try that Core Max med ball segment again, though I may have to work my way up to it. I did the core/abs section from BootCamp last night and it was tough. The side planks were really hard for me, but I had just worked out my upper body so my arms felt like jello. I'm...

I love Butts and Guts. I don't dislike GS Legs, it's a good workout. I do it every now and then and when I'm doing a Gym Styles rotation. But if I'm not doing any set rotation and I just want to do a leg/butt work, the DVDs I grab most are B&G and L&G. I love the standing exercises...

Thanks everyone - I'll pass. Come to think of it, I may have an older copy, but I'm not really sure. Guess that proves I don't need this year's issue either...
