Yes. Before I lift, I am focusing on lengthening my legs and arms away from my torso, this engages the glutes. If I lift my legs my glutes are more engaged than when just lifting my arms.

It used to hurt my pubic bone but doesn't now. I don't have a lot of flexibility in my back so my range of motion when going up into back extension is limited. I focus on extending my arms and legs out in opposite directions and engaging my abs first before coming up into back extension. I...

The frequency of emails has definitely decreased in the last few days. Maybe someone noticed this thread and similar ones.

I'm doing that too. Wonder how many others are either deleting without reading or have unsubscribed.

Yes! I am getting sick of the constant advertising emails and considering unsubscribing. I already didn't like the amount of advertising in the previous newsletter but at least it was only once a week and there were other informative articles. It was only occasionally that I would get other...

I have quite a few DVD workouts that show at least one person doing an easier version. Some of them also show a person doing more advanced. Cathe also sometimes uses layering where she starts with an easier version and progresses up to a harder version. Those who can't do the harder version...

I don't like Scorpion for the same reason. Glad I'm not the only one. :) I also can't do moves that involve going down and coming up fast, like Burpees. I get dizzy if I come up too fast. With walk out planks I have to modify and come to a crouch rather than stand up at the end.

I find the balance disc moves difficult. But then I have really bad balance, especially when standing on my right leg. I also find my standing leg gets quite sore during the exercises, especially in my foot and hip. But, like you and others, I did think they would be used more in the LMR...

I also like LMR and the level of intensity. I agree some of the workouts are a bit easier than expected but there are some moves in the bonus workouts that I either really struggle with or can't do at all, e.g. the single leg roll up and tap downs in the Core bonus. I also find a lot of the...

I have two pairs of weightlifting gloves with wrist support straps, not Cathe ones though. The first pair has a 2.5-inch-wide strap, and I found I could still do pushups, but they were a bit restrictive. The second pair has a 1.5-inch strap and that isn't as restrictive and still gives good...

Thanks, Cathe!

I was also wondering this. I only use On Demand now.

I agree. I often struggle to find time to do longer workouts. I really enjoyed the recent express Live workouts. Another Perfect 30 style would be great. Also, either low impact cardio or higher impact with a low impact modifier. Another Cardio Party 2 would be great.

Thanks for sharing, Cathe! Wishing you a speedy recovery! :)

I like to blend my own too. I also like to insert a few breaks, so I don't have to pause the workout to get water, stretch, or whatever. That way I know exactly how long the workout will take.
