    Any Catheletes able to find friends that share enthusiasm for fitness IRL?

    I could have written the original post and all the responses. The meme that defines me:

    Rotation using STS 2.0 exclusively?

    Hi, Cathletes! Can someone point to or provide a link to a rotation that exclusively uses STS 2.0? I'm especially interested in how the flexibility and mobility workouts are incorporated. Thanks! A-Jock

    O/T: Advice on navigating a sad new reality

    Hello, Vivbc, you speak wise words. I totally agree that "sometimes people want to get on with things", and I DON'T want to become one of those ghouls who prods and pries and demands DEEP MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS that can keep the bleeding alive. I appreciate your insight and having taken the...

    O/T: Advice on navigating a sad new reality

    Hello, Sandra/FiddleFit, it's good to "see" you again. I've opened to possibility to Tina for a visit to her at some time in the near future when she has the bandwidth for it; the presence of Trevor's family in the immediate days after his passing were at once nourishing and depleting for Tina...

    O/T: Advice on navigating a sad new reality

    Kellyro, thank you for your response and insights. As luck would have it, Tina texted me shortly after I posted this and asked if we could Zoom this weekend, continuing a tradition we had built for years. I gladly said yes, and will adopt your very wise "ask and listen" mode. She is not on...

    O/T: Advice on navigating a sad new reality

    Hello, fellow Cathletes, long-time Cathe fan and forum lurker here: My husband and I have been friends of decades standing with another couple; Tina and I became friends through work in the late '90's, and Trevor and DH became friends in the mid-aughts when DH joined Trevor's gym. Throughout...

    Announcing My Next Workout Series

    I was happy to see Cathe's announcement both on her Facebook page and in her newsletter! I'm very interested in a comprehensive mobility workout; I do find as I pummel through the 60s decade that I'm getting a lot stiffer, and I have trouble spots (especially in the shoulder joint) that are...

    STS 2.0: anyone using Blu-Ray players for theirs?

    Good morning, Catheites! I'm considering getting the STS 2.0 series on DVD but have noted the posts about glitches in the playing of the DVDs. My DVD player that is currently in my workout room is as old as dirt, but I do have a couple of Blu-Ray players that are much newer. Is anyone using a...

    THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO PRODUCE DVDS!

    Hello, Cathe, just wanted to pop up and offer a sincere THANK YOU for continuing to offer DVDs of your workouts, as well as through other platforms like streaming. I still vastly prefer DVDS to newer methods of playing workouts, and several prominent home-workout production companies are now...

    The Underdiscovered Benefits of Deep Water Training

    Beth, isn't that the cool of the pool?! We can make the environment our own, each and every time! And yes, like you, after a workout I am totally limbered up AND pumped! We understand each other! In hopes you can return to the pool soon - A-Jock

    The Underdiscovered Benefits of Deep Water Training

    Hi, Beth, and thanks for your response and question. YES, I count my reps; like you, I'm a counter. In fact, I have dozens of printed formats that have organized lists of drills to make sure I hit all of the muscle groups in varying ranges and planes of motion, and I always do a 24-rep set for...

    The Underdiscovered Benefits of Deep Water Training

    Hi, Lisa, and thanks for your comments. Yes, having a pool is handy. Thankfully, I now live in a home with its own backyard pool, and my community association has two, albeit closed during the COVID-19 precautions. Stay well and safe, honey!

    The Underdiscovered Benefits of Deep Water Training

    Hey, my beloved Jo-Jo! So good to connect with you again! I am doing very well, all things considered; my husband and I moved to Florida 3.5 years ago, and just moved to Tampa last August. We love it here. I hope you and yours are doing well, and STAY SAFE AND WELL, MY FRIEND!

    The Underdiscovered Benefits of Deep Water Training

    In her most recent newsletter / blog entry, Cathe described several low-impact exercise formats, and had this to say about water workouts: "Water Workouts Some health care providers recommend that people with joint problems do water workouts to reduce the impact on their joints. However, water...

    Cathe Gratitude 2020

    I've been a faithful user of Cathe's products since at least 2001 (probably earlier than that). As a committed home-exerciser, I chose her for her specialization in high-intensity workouts, and over the years I have become fit and strong because of them. Now, in these trying days of COVID-19...

    It's time for beginners and intermediate workouts.

    Hi, Firelight and Evie - sorry I didn't respond to your posts earlier, and thanks to you both for your kind words! My goal is to be working out to Cathe's Toughest Stough :) when I'm 87; then I might think of dialing things back. Moderate-intensity workouts are just not my cuppa tea either - if...

    It's time for beginners and intermediate workouts.

    Hey, SRP, how the heck are ya? Good to "see" you again. I agree with you about getting Cathe's advanced productions and doing your own mods - I vastly prefer that approach than trying to up-modify a more moderate workout. I found Cathe in 2000, right after I cut back on my group-ex teaching...

    It's time for beginners and intermediate workouts.

    Longtime Cathlete here - IIRC, way back in Cathe's early career as a home-ex video/DVD producer, she mentioned in an interview that she preferred to produce high-intensity workouts for advanced exercisers in part because there was an overabundance of workouts billed as "beginner" and...
