They came, I tried, I returned! Oh my they were so not what I expected. They were heavy (I use 40# dbs for bench, so I can handle pretty heavy), they were awkward, they killed my forearms and they were quite frankly somewhat creepy to look at! Glad I tried, now I know. Hope this helps.

So I went ahead and ordered a set from Amazon. They should be here by the middle of next week. Figured I would try them, I can always return.

Does anyone use these? I would love to have actual battle ropes but my home workout room is just not long enough. The rope-less ones look like a fair alternative. Would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks, Deb

I was always surprised that Cathe didn't follow-up with another tabata style workout. I think the last one was very advanced, but she could ease up on some of the intense jumping and still make a great work-out.

Another tabata please or a 30/30 hitt.

First day of fall is just 2 weeks away. This is about as late summer as you can get.

It's been a minute. I wonder how far along the programs have progressed.

Cathe's background scenes certainly have come a long way. One of her very early workouts, a step one, had this funky corner fake fireplace; then another had Greek(Roman) statues and columns! I remember a really early step one (her sister was in it) that had a fake beach backdrop complete with...

I have followed Cathe for so long. Way back when she posted pictures of her belly with her first pregnancy. I realize she is more "famous" now so maybe some of that closeness with her clients had to suffer. But I am pretty disappointed that after almost 5 months not one peep in response to these...

Cathe offers pre-sales to take some of the financial burden of production off of her company. She has been doing it for decades, I doubt she would consider changing. I am happy to make pre-sale purchases, however, I feel this time around there has been significant "rumblings" throughout her...

I know I sound snarky, but she apparently was far enough along to know how much to charge us. I love Cathe and her workouts, own them all, pre-ordered them all, but the silence this round is quite deafening.

I'm pretty sure someone on Cathe's staff is monitoring the forums. The lack of response is really nothing new. Cathe does it her way. A million years ago, she was very active on the forums, but now not so much. I too "hate the wait", but I have come to expect and accept it. I wasn't too...

Thanks for the tips. My post was really more about whining than anything. I guess that some days I wish I didn't care so much about the quality of my diet. I have been eating wisely for more than half my life. Haven't had a fast food meal in decades! Maybe I need a week off of healthy food and...

I am really running out of ideas. I try to get plenty of protein, but I don't like meat. I try to eat chicken and some fish as much as I can stand, but I wish carrots had as much protein as steak! I'm not against eating meat for any reason other than I don't really care for the flavor or...

Thanks for the suggests - I will look into them. My #1 concern is the wipe off factor followed by the settling in the pores. Deb
