You are not at all stupid for expecting quality content and product for your money spent. You are very reasonable and your expectations were constructed along a money for services rendered basis, a basis founded upon a fallacy in this case. But, how were you to know someone was only offering a...

The User's Guide for both these series have useful rotations included in them if you want to take a look. They are available on this website somewhere, if you haven't already downloaded them. Clare

Lily: First, I am sorry to hear this, but wishing you all strength to power through this and come out the other side healthy, smiling and kicking butt again. Secondly, thanks for the warning. I get mammograms yearly and this year's is scheduled for June. I never miss. It takes such a short...

As Judy said: more recovery days. This either means rest completely, or take it down several notches, so swap a HiiT day for pilates/barre or one of Cathe's up-coming Fit Tower workouts. Personally, I find that working out 4 days a week --I go hard, and as intensely as possible-- is enough...

Linda herself does a lot of Dream Body and Sweat lab workouts herself. However, I prefer Linda's material as the Dream Body people talk ceaselessly, in whiny, high pitched voices that drive me nuts and they are sometimes working on adrenaline overload. It's a bit off-putting. Linda is calmer...

Phenomenal ideas! Clare

You ladies need to go back in time and discover the Golden Age of Cathe's step creativity. If you don't already own the CTX series, you are missing out on some fab cardio routines, especially All Step, Step & Intervals and Power Circuit...

I just posted this message to Alana but I thought others here might also find it useful: There are now many workouts out there by good instructors that work only with bands and one I highly recommend is by Linda Wooldridge, Barlates Resista Barre. There's a link here so you can see clips of it...

Yes, but please include optional blasts for those who want to go out with a bang and definitely a "challenge" section at the end where we put it all together and run through it 6 times or whatever. Also, more athletic rather than dancy. Please!!!

Yes please. An excellent idea. Repeat format but different exercises, perhaps a little more variety rather than repeat the same 3 times through? Clare

"I need to get out of the house more" hahahaha! Love it! I sometimes watch the introduction if I need a mood boost, a nod of encouragement or simply time to hit the bathroom one last time before jumping right in! I guess there's a lot of weirdos among the Cathletes!!! Clare

It is pretty advanced, yes. But if it isn't enough for you., add on the blasts from KickMax and the combos from KPC and you can definitively say that it over-qualifies! Clare

Dear Peg: My deepest sympathies for how hideous this feels for you right now. It is god-awful, no two ways about it. I don't know if there is an ideal way for us to lose a parent. My own father succumbed slowly to dementia two years ago and was a very different man towards the end of his...

Yes, myofascial release can help. Yoga too. Additional flexibity along with strength, is key. However, strength for running is NOT the same as strength that weight lifters and power lifters require or achieve. Stronger runners are still incredibly lean, not over-muscular in appearance, BUT...

Cafelattee: I think you are a cool person. You do important work as a nurse. Thank you all that you do for others. Even while they are spitting on you, harrassing you or trying your emotional equilibrium, these people need you so much. Society needs you. Just wanted to let you know. Clare

Hi Carrie: I seem to be a lot like you in my response to intense running training, so I have not done too much of it as of late either, even though I have never enjoyed any exercise as much as I have always loved running. Hip pains, pretty much same as you, ITB puling on the hip area, etc...

ICE series requires little equipment. I haven't done every workout in the series yet, but it is my understanding that you need a step, a mat and a series of dumbbells of different weights. For dumbbell only body/weight training with Cathe, you have a few options: Flextrain and Supercuts...

Your definitions look pretty accurate to me. There is slippage between categories. Tabata is like HiiT: the intensity lies in not doing the move for a full minute, but in doing it for a shorter time, taking a very short rest period and then repeating this sequence another 7 times or so. So...

Right, it is decided: in 2017, we are all joining up to go on a tour of Cathletes home gyms around the US. First stop, Lisa LaMachina, then bayerngirl, it's your turn, so you have some time to get that flooring finished before we all come and do plyo on it .... who else is renovating her home...

Where is Justine? (I thought she might respond to this paper workout post) Has anyone heard from her recently? I hope she's doing OK. Justine: are you out there?!?! Clare
