I put together a blended workout including the warmup, cool down, and stretch from Step Fit, approx. 29 minutes. While I can do the macarena, putting it together with the footwork is no joke. Even though I wasn't using a step, just moving my feet at the same time kept putting me off...

Exactly what I was thinking of doing. :) I've been doing some cdorner basic step workouts on the floor and also blended a couple of low impact Cathe ones.

I haven't done this step workout before, but I do remember how to do the Macarena. Will have to check it out. Currently I can't do step workouts using the step, due to hip tendonitis, so I've been doing them on the floor. Even with just the platform, the up-down motion hurts after a few...

I've never done a "shovel-max" workout. It doesn't snow where I live. :)

So, did the barre workout again with my ball more deflated and it worked. :D Really felt the burn in my legs. Afterwards I did the chair stretch from Step Boss.

Thanks for the tip Trixoo. I will keep that in mind if the ball doesn't work. :)

Wow, scoring 100% on your final exam with everything you've been going through is one heck of an achievement! Congratulations! :)

No, I was wearing shorts, and the ball was on bare skin. It is summer here and too hot for leggings. I usually use a partially deflated ball for better grip but maybe it wasn't deflated enough. Also, my ball isn't a Cathe ball, it is one I bought locally. It may be made from different...

You only have to type in Philippines Gold Treasure Hunt Scam into Google to come up with multiple hits. Some of the scams are quite elaborate and people have been swindled out of millions of dollars. Unfortunately, with scams like this, it can be difficult for people who have invested large...

Did the barre bonus yesterday and tacked on STS 2.0 Active Recovery. Barre bonus was going well until I got to the high hip raises with the ball squeezed behind the knee. It popped out and went flying across the room. Retrieved it, started over, and it popped out again. Ended up having to...

My standard barbell weighs 6kg (13.2lbs) unloaded so I have to take that weight into account. I also have spin lock adjustable dumbbells, I hardly ever use them, but I think they weigh about 1kg (2.2lbs) unloaded. That would definitely make a difference for exercises like lateral raises and...

Did the main killer legs workout yesterday. Feeling it in the quads, calves and glutes today. I used the workout blender to insert a few extra rest/water breaks throughout the workout. It is summer here and hot and very humid.

I made up a blended workout of about 40 minutes using mostly the weight plate exercises. I added in the squat/crossover from the bonus and also did the bicep curls and upright rows using an unweighted barbell (mine is approx. 6kg unweighted). I also did the pull overs and lying extensions but...

I blended a workout using the 4 Kickboxing Combos and the Kick Combo from Gloved Up and Sweaty and the 4 Jump Rope rounds from the bonus. Also added in the lateral skates from the bonus. I interspersed the jump rope rounds with the kickboxing combos so instead of using boxing gloves, which I...

Punching in a Dream by The Naked and Famous is also in X-Train Hard Strikes, it is Song 2 and Young Blood is Song 3. The Naked and Famous are a New Zealand band and these two songs are from their debut album "Passive Me, Aggressive You".

I love this idea. I often need to insert extra recovery days, or miss days due to work, so I tend not to stick to rotations because they are done by week. I did one of Cathe's monthly rotations a while ago and I found it really hard going and never did another one. I am either having to skip...

So true. Sometimes, someone will come into our lives whose role is to shake us out of our apathy and show us that we are not happy and that things need to change. They may not be the right person to end up with, but feelings can get muddled, especially when you are going through a lot and are...

I had been wondering what had happened to you too. So sorry that you are in this situation. Stay strong, keep moving forward, you will get through this.

They can be used for rehabilitation or for workouts. The oscillating type move the plate up and down in a see-saw motion that moves your body up and down and from side to side at the same time. There are different frequency settings which determine the speed of the oscillation. For workouts...

It definitely is easy to get caught up and spend hours blending different workouts. There are also shared workouts available that others have blended which not only give some good ideas, but you can add them to your own personal workout blender. You can even modify them on your personal...
