Cedie and Brenda all the way...

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to say: I recently was ill, some kind of flu I never had before. I was mostly in bed for nearly a week. While I was ill, the roof on my house partially collapsed and so we had weeks of contractors in. I was also doing some extra work in my spare time...

I don't do much high impact cardio these days and since I got a fitness tracker, I've noticed that my heart rate gets the highest and I spend the longest time in 'Maximum Effort' during lower body workouts with my heaviest weights, often using a step for elevation. I have a couple of the old Low...

Thank you!!

Love Yvette! I tend to go to her for cardio and Cathe for strength - though I can't lift as heavy as Cathe, I have improved so much through doing her workouts.

Sounds a fun idea - I do have a bosu, it's a cheapish supermarket one but it works well. Not used it for ages though.

It's Jessica's workouts I've been trying - her new bundle has a set of three 30 minute slide workouts, all barefoot (they're all good) but the problem with my floor texture/cheap sliders persists! She also uses them a fair amount in her Lift & Shift package from last year but the moves are all...

I just got some new workouts (not Cathe) and they use sliders a lot and I just can't make them work on my floors. The sliders I have are hard shiny plastic one side and some kind of fabric the other. They half-work on hard floor but on the carpet rug, even using the smooth side, they won't...

Agree it's good to have a clear modifier and in a 'class' style video there' no reason not to! I know Cathe usually does, but so many don't. I have an older barre video with an instructor plus 2 and the instructor demos a modification (but not until halfway through the set) while the background...

I just resigned up for the Live and On Demand and I'm itching to try my first new Cathe workout today - got my eye on the low impact cardio and legs one for starters, like that it uses moderate weights as I my own collection only goes up to 20lbs anyway.

I love sliders, but I had an issue - even though I had a vinyl floor in my 'workout' room, it was a little textured, just enough to make either side of the sliders not work that well. I find dusters work best for me but I'm looking to buy a carpet style rug so I can use the smooth side of a slider.

This sounds good - I prefer advanced cardio to be off the step. (I like step cardio, but prefer it to be more moderate).

I like Metabolic too - my favourite is the one from ICE, but I do the LITE one a lot too, because it uses lighter weights which aloows me to work on my form. I don't hate lifting, but I just can't do very heavy. I use weights in kg because I'm in UK and my heaviest set are 10k, which would be...

Yes, I love it. I like to work out very early in the day before work when I can, and what's great about this set is that I don't have to walk back and forth getting out a range of dumbbells and then put them away again - it's just a question of folding the bands/loops out of/ into their little...

Did this last night, and it worked me - I felt it was tougher than the Body Bands one. I was also thinking I could use the Core section as an add-on abs after other workouts, maybe pure cardio ones.
