    In my rotation guide, on the 2nd day it says Ramped Up Upper Body + Bonus Abs. The Bonus Abs is on the Ramped Up UB dvd.

    Floor Work/Barre Rotation/new Rock Bottoms Rotation

    Maybe even incorporate Hip Thrusts like she does in the 100 Rep Challenges. A lot of possibilities!

    Floor Work/Barre Rotation/new Rock Bottoms Rotation

    I'd love to see a new Rock Bottoms inspired rotation using less of the traditional squats/lunges and more barre, floor work, gliding discs segments, Firewalkers incorporated as the primary exercises. Thanks!

    Any runners incorporating To The Mat floor workouts?

    I agree with all the recommendations made here especially the increasing flexibility! I would also look into Strong Strides by Lisa Wharton, Pilates for Runners with Laura Tarbell and The Butt Bible lower body workouts (these can be found in full length free on youtube). The Butt Bible...

    Rotation Suggestion for Hawaii Wedding Trip

    I'm going to Hawaii in 6 months, I"m about 15 lbs "over fat" and have slacked in my weight training so feel even more soft than just from body fat alone. I work long hours and know I will not be able to stick to an all RWH rotation or hour long STS workouts. My goal is to build back arm...

    STS/ RwH

    I would definitely get RWH! It's a great, but tough program! Cathe also provides a RWH & STS Rotation if you wanted to combine them!

    ROTATION REQUEST

    I did see the Nov 2011 LIS rotation had a yoga day but it is still a 6 day a week rotation. Is there another rotation you're referring to? I'm looking for a 5 day a week rotation (1 yoga + 4 other workout days + 2 rest days)

    ROTATION REQUEST

    Hi Cathe, thank you for always taking the time to post monthly rotations. I was wondering if you could post a 5 day a week rotation, with one day being Yoga (not as an optional Yoga/Rest day). It's hard to come up with a good rotation that really works everything, including flexibility. I...

    Endormorph's and Long Workouts?

    Ivy, I can totally relate as we are almost identical in our stats. It is a struggle for sure that unless you have our shape some may not truly understand! I've even read info for meso shapes and endo shapes and the recommendations given are almost polar opposites in some ways. I can share...

    Cardio Suggestions

    Besides kickboxing and walking what are some low impact cardio workouts out there that does not overtax the quads? (ie, no step). I do not belong to a gym, so cardio machines and swimming would be out. I'm looking for dvd or youtube workouts. I can't seem to find anything that is not dancy...

    Ripped With Hiit/Any Variations

    Yep! I eventually bought Total Body Trisets, but ended up not finding it as enjoyable as other Cathe weight workouts. I never bought the other workouts from the set.

    Ripped With Hiit/Any Variations

    I should add that I didn't do all of the LIS dvds. I had Athletic Training, Afterburn, Cardio Supersets, and Turbo Barre. I subbed in other workouts for the other LIS workouts.

    Found condonms in my 17 year old sons backpack (advise)

    I definitely wouldn't start the conversation that you found the condoms while searching his backpack. I would think he'd be so upset that you were violating his privacy and searching through his things that anything you said after that would fall on deaf ears. He may have a trust issue with...

    Ripped With Hiit/Any Variations

    I actually built my shoulders when I did the Low Impact Series. This wasn't my goal necessarily, but it just happened! The shoulders are worked frequently due to alot of compound moves in this series. Legs are always a work in progress for me no matter what the series., but for me I slim my...

    Using Pure Strength for slimming

    To lose inches, I believe diet (and some extra cardio) is by far more important than the type of workouts you do. To build size (and I'm sure others may answer differently), I have read that you build size by working to failure whether that be by doing alot of reps, by lifting heavy and/or also...

    Needing some encouragement/motivation

    Thanks for all your responses. I certainly know what I should be doing, but sticking with it thru fatigue and times of stress (which is pretty much everyday!) is tough. I know drinking more water will help and cutting back on starchy carbs. I'm glad I don't have a sweet tooth, but I know that...
