THANK YOU! I shared my appreciation for reading and trying to understand your viewpoints in your various threads. I shared that I realized that there was a bit of envy mixed in with that appreciation. Well, envy is a funny thing. It can knock you on your butt if you let it or it can be a...

I’m short on time but I wanted to stop in and apologize. I very much meant what I said about appreciating and learning from your view points. I also realized that I’m a bit envious of you and your abilities to lift heavy. I’m currently trying to figure out a way that I can gear up to do the...

Thanks for answering my question. I was sure I’d be ghosted. I know at least one person has me on ignore. ;) You all seem so serious about your weight training that I’d assume you have some way to accurately measure your success. That’s not a negative observation. I appreciate the care you...

This has not been true for me. Nutrition is very important but not overtraining and getting enough sleep is equally important. I build and maintain muscle as easily as I did in my 30s. Maybe I’m just lucky? Adding that I measure my body comp regularly and adjust diet and training when...

I’ve been post menopausal for 20 years and what “works” has changed over those years. Although I’m small I do have a high muscle/low body fat ratio, especially for my age. Be true to yourself and the needs of your body. Listening to the so called experts is fine but giving your body what it...

This is true but an email mentioning that the downloads are ready could be also convince people to order. Nothing like a little FOMO to get the orders coming in. ;)

No worries if I see a notification I’ll share asap. ITA about time flying. o_O

I take a quick look and delete because I’m afraid I’ll miss the first download announcement. I also miss Cathe’s weekly newsletters. That said I haven’t gotten any email from Cathe for at least two or three days. Nothing in my spam folder either so maybe it’s calmed down.

I’ll third that!

Candice2015, Did you try this? I’m currently working on a STS that will replace most if not all leg days with progressive barre, possibly resistive barre. I won’t be embarking upon it for quite a while but working on it is definitely showing me what I need to work on to get ready. Naysayers...

CAP makes “Grip” plates with a 1” center hole but as Debinmi says that may be too small. Cathe’s plates work with my ancient Firm Barbells, which have a 1” bar. I’m going to try to post a picture with one of our iron 1” plates under Cathe’s plate. The difference in hole size is small but...

These responses are all amazingly motivational! I’m going to bookmark this thread for when I need a little up”lifting” reading!

I couldn’t have said it better!

This wasn’t my first Cathe step workout but I did and still do love this one. I originally had the VHS and upgraded to the DVD. It’s interesting that you also only do 30 minutes of step and for more or less the same reason.

I did the Cardio and Weights step premix this morning. It’s my all time favorite because I’m able to hop, skip, jump, turn and dance to my heart’s content while working out to fun music. It’s really more fun than work out. I actually used to love the imax step workouts but I lose too much...
