Well, I'm just revisiting this...always looking for new workouts to try! I'm now 6 months post-injury and not recovered. This is a brutal injury (high-grade proximal hamstring tear...I basically tore 2 of 3 hamstrings off the pelvis). A million times better than initial injury and still making...

Her doctor might consider an MRI to see exactly what's going on. Or maybe look into proximal hamstring tendinopathy, which is more of a chronic condition as I understand it. My tear was an acute, high grade injury that caused the pain, but I think tendinopathy would cause similar issues. I don't...

Stairs is a new trick, and I’m not great at it yet. Just a few of weeks ago, I took a normal step without thinking about it, and it was immediate pain, weakness, shakiness (I did this a couple of times). Now, I can do a few steps at a time in physical therapy. It’s not really bad pain anymore...

Thanks for sharing! I also have a high-grade tear of proximal hamstring (left). It was an acute injury--tore it sprinting (leg collapsed, hit the ground) and knew immediately it was bad news. But I probably also had some overuse and am very tight. Worst pain I've ever had. Could not walk, stand...

Thank you! These are great suggestions. Because my hamstring has a high-grade tear where it attaches to the pelvis, almost anything leg-related has been completely out. I can't even walk very well (but couldn't walk at all at injury...so it's improving). Standing is actually the easiest, but I...

Thanks, will give those a try! I know I've done the ICE series before (a few years ago). I also love Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire! I still pop those in once in awhile (pre-injury)! I cannot do the Cathe step workouts however...I'm way too uncoordinated for those! :)

Thanks! These are great suggestions. I love the metabolic and PHA workouts (especially some of the Live/no repeat ones) but still a bit more than I can do for lower. I'll definitely look at some of the upper body moves from these and maybe just create something of my own in Workout Blender. I'm...

Thank you! These are all great suggestions, and I will look into them! It's been so hard being sidelined and not able to even walk very well. Really looking for ways to get my heart rate up/body moving even if it's not much. It's a long recovery (high-grade proximal tear), but slowly getting...

I'm recovering from a torn hamstring and looking for a good upper body workout that is all standing (I know lots of them involve mat or bench work--and I don't get to the ground easily), preferably fast paced or lighter weights/high reps to get my heart rate up seeing I can't do any other...

Thank you! I appreciate your response, those are good suggestions. I have worked out with Cathe in the past, so I do have familiarity with some of her DVDs. That's definitely a good base. I'm hoping to expand my list by adding some more Live workouts or maybe DVD workouts that I haven't tried...

Thank you for your thoughtful response! I love this! Yes, it does sound like we have similar style, and I definitely would like to develop a "flexible rotation" like you described, pulling from whatever type of workout I'm doing that day. Now the key is building that list. I'm trying to develop...

I’m trying to pull together somewhat of a modified rotation, or just compile a list of some favorite workouts to pull from (DVD or Lives). Can anyone suggest some favorites? 46 years old, just finished radiation for early-stage breast cancer a couple of months ago but given the all-clear. I...

Thanks for your replies! I don't know why I thought I had done this before, but I must be wrong. I ended up starting from scratch. It would be a nice feature to have!

Hello! I'm been using Cathe workouts for several years, but this is my first time posting. I'm having issues with Workout Blender, and I'm hoping someone can help. I am no longer able to use an already created workout and modify/save as another workout without losing the original. For example...
