It was common amongst my colleagues to move into Sales roles after about 2-3 years in a laboratory role. I was never interested in sales and stayed working in laboratories for 8 years before I became sensitized to the chemicals and had to stop working with them. Now I try to protect others...

I actually have my mini ball a bit deflated. We use them that way in the Pilates studio I go to. We use mini balls of various sizes and various levels of inflation. They are easier to grip and are less likely to roll out from under you. You just can't use them for bouncing.

So did I (industrial chemist) and I like experimenting too :) I started reacting to some of the chemicals and had to change career paths, so I went into Health and Safety but specializing in chemical safety. I'm not following a set rotation at the moment as I have hip bursitis in my right hip...

I did the Standing Metabolic and Standing & Floor together and it's a good ab workout. Pulling the weight plate back in on the mermaids really got my abs. Then the planks finished them off.

It was like that for me too. I used to go every 8 weeks until lock down. Then I had to cut my own fringe and realised I could actually do this and not mess it up. Now I only go to get it cut about 2-3 x per year and just cut my fringe between visits.

I did the express upper body premix of this one yesterday. I found this deceptively challenging. While you are only doing 8 reps per exercise, you do them back-to-back for the body part with no rest until the end of the group. I always use slightly lighter weights when doing a workout for the...

Did the express premix that excludes Group 3 yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do the whole workout. Still got a great workout and love the unilateral exercises in Group 2. The unilateral overhead press and the single leg hip thrusts really showed up imbalances between my right...

Did this one today, approx. 35 minutes. I found Mobility 2 the harder of the 2. The seated hip flexor hurdle was a good one. I found this much harder with my left leg than my right. Also, I had to watch the back extension reach then go back and do it as I couldn't work out what they were...

I did the lower and upper premix today, approx. 30 minutes. I liked how for the upper body Cathe incorporated moves that use the foam roller to assist rather than just rolling, e.g. the side leaning stretch, thoracic stretch etc. I am no stranger to foam rollers having used them quite a bit...

I did this premix yesterday. It's about 40 minutes long. I particularly liked starting with the chair yoga as it is easier to get on and off a chair than getting down on the floor when I am stiff. The chair adds an interesting dynamic to some of the poses. By the time I'd finished the chair...

No complaints from me either. I've started with mobility workouts. Did the Chair and Mat Yoga premix yesterday.

Wow, that was faster than expected. :D Thanks, Cathe & Crew. I will be starting with some mobility, either the chair and mat yoga or the upper and lower body foam rolling.

Thanks for the detailed clarification forum admin. As with all Cathe's products, I know STS 2.0 will be top quality and dealing with streaming content, databases, links, etc, and syncing everything up to work properly is a detailed, time intensive task. Thanks to Cathe and all her crew for...

I can't believe all the posts regarding the fact that the User Guide isn't out yet. Why are you all so impatient? Many Cathletes haven't even got their DVDs yet and those of us who subscribe to OnDemand have to wait until next week. The User Guide will be available next week. It's not that...

I started my workout journey with Leslie Sansone and still have a number of her DVDs. I did her Walk It Off In 30 Days DVD recently. Then I kind of started collecting workout DVDs and borrowed a few from the library too. I have a number of 10 Minute Solutions DVDs, Dance Off the Inches DVDs...

I also get hot doing workouts, even weight workouts, and especially in summer. Where I am in Auckland, New Zealand we have daytime summer temperatures around 25-28°C (77-82°F) with the odd day up to 30°C (~86°F). Winter daytime temperatures tend to be around 15-17°C (59-62°F). But we have...

Tom Peto Training on YouTube has several mobility, stretch, and foam roller routines usually ranging between 10-20 minutes. He has a 10-day mobility series too. Worth taking a look to see if this might encourage your husband to do more stretching and flexibility.

Thanks Linda. Will have to try this out and see what works best for me. Will also have to try out your suggestion for surrenders. Might be a good one to switch to part way through if I'm getting too fatigued doing the full surrenders.

Interesting modification Braille. I usually modify by not coming all the way up to stand, I come into a crouching squat instead. I do this modification for exercises where you are down for longer so will probably try this for the gorilla move. For exercises like burpees where you aren't down...

I believe they were released towards the end of 2021.
