I did this one in a workout the other day. First side was OK but the second side my kneeling leg (which was just working) was cramping and I had to keep stopping. In future I will need to pause the workout and stretch before going to the other side.

Thanks for posting these Facebook links FitSaxe! I wouldn't have known about them otherwise. It's really good to have Cathe talking us through the workouts. :)

When I do Downward Dog, I have my knees bent and I'm up on my toes. My Pilates instructor taught me this modification. I don't have the flexibility to get my heels to the floor, and this is the only way I can get my hips up and back. If I straighten my legs my body weight comes forward and...

I also look to Ingrid for modifications.

Thanks for sharing. Based on your description I doubt these would suit me. I think my arms would fatigue very quickly before I got any other workout benefits.

I didn't even know these existed. Had a look and found lots of different ones at different price points. Also, watched a video review for Z-Ropes which can be adjusted with 3 different springs for different intensity workouts. They also talked about the handles being upgraded from previous...

Once every 4 weeks I do a big grocery shop and have to carry the groceries in boxes from my car up a flight of stairs to my front door. Thanks to functional training with strength and balance I can do this.

Same here. I recently did STS 1 again. I like STS 2, but I get better results with STS 1. If I had to make a choice between them, I would go for STS 1.

That looks tough. I wonder how much time I will spend chasing my ball around the room. :)

I can't use weights this heavy for these exercises, but after doing STS 1.0 I know how heavy I can go based on the exercise, number of reps, pace, and rest time. That is a great series to work out what you can lift as you work through the different levels from lighter weights, higher reps and...

Same here. My brain was always so reliable, I had great mental focus. I could remember things without having to write them down. Then menopause hit. On top of the stench, the waste, and the clean-up, is the realization that you had no recollection of leaving the meat there until that moment...

Glad, I'm not the only one. :)

I do this too and it got really bad when I entered menopause. The other thing I do is I go into a room to do something, get distracted doing something else, walk out and then about 10 minutes later, remember that I forgot to do the first thing. So, I go back, get distracted again, walk out...

Yes, I have the stand. It has the holes in the middle to store the weighted rods when I'm not using them. And it is easier to set the magnetic pin while the blocks are on the stand.

Thanks for answering this, Debinmi. I've never tried to download anything from YouTube.
