Loved reading your posts Linda/Lady Vol Fan and Debinmi! Thank you! Great to read those blog posts of Cathe's and get myself motivated to fit in power moves into my rotations! And I LOVED the weekly rotation you designed Debinmi. :) :)On a week when I really want to focus on lower body it is...

YES! Thanks for the reminders of these other great contrast workouts for the lower body, Debinmi! Counting the STS Meso 3 workouts and XTrain's Cardio Legs, that gives us 9 choices for a contrast training program! Cathe provides so many options - we will never get bored and we will always be...

I absolutely love contrast training - it is my favourite way to train the lower body. I personally do it no more than once per week and then after 4-6 weeks I switch to another style of lower body training (heavy weights, barre, mat, pyramid, etc.). The Cardio Legs routine in XTrain is also a...

Thank you, thank you, thank you Cathe! :):):) Like Peaceful Rainbow, I am in the home stretch of the STS (3.5 month) rotation. But I will definitely be doing this rotation for the month of May. So excited! :p:D I am also curious as to Cathe's answers to the excellent questions noted above.

Good for you, ActiveAggie!

Sending (((hugs))), warm wishes and positive vibes your way, Amy. :) Also sending congratulations for taking all those positive steps you have already taken: looking for a workout of Cathe's that suits you at this moment, actually DOING a workout and reaching out to others in the forum! Good...

fitdeb, thanks for your post! :) This looks really interesting. Did you purchase the bundle (3 sticks) or purchase an individual stick? With shipping, duty and exchange the bundle is quite expensive for me here in Canada so wondered if I could get by with just one stick. Also, wondering if the...

Total Body Stretching - Ball Workout #1 - incredibly RELAXING! Ahhhh... Perfect mid-winter, mid-covid self care routine!

Great question lakelady56....I will have to look this up. I am curious too. When I find out I will let you know. But if anyone knows off the top of their head, please post. Thanks.

Brilliant choreography Cathe. Thanks! This workout has a little bit of everything! Great well rounded program that looks like a lot of FUN! I will be purchasing this one.

How did it go DGaves, when you gave up sugar? What positive benefits did you see? How did you cope with the cravings and temptations? I would like to be able to cut way down on sugar but finding it is certainly challenging. If other Catheletes have experience with this, please chime in. I need...

I am too! ;) At 10 years post menopausal I liked the chapter in Dr. Sim's book 'Roar' on post menopausal women and their performance/athletic needs as well as their nutritional needs. She now has online workshops on this topic and later this year she is coming out with a book specifically on the...

According to the Workout Manager the Step Boss PHA3 workout burns 434 calories. The Perfect 30 High Impact Hiit workout burns 287. That is without any premixes added on to either. PHA3 is almost 55 mins in length whereas the Perfect 30 workout you mentioned is of course just over 30 min. I...

The STS Users' Guide recommends using 60% of your 1RM on week 1, 65% for weeks 2 and 3, and 70% of your 1RM on week 4.

Cookbook is a great idea!

Thanks for the help! I will order the Therabands. Cathletes are the best! :)Always there to help others on their fitness journeys!

Where is a good place to purchase long bands?? I have the new tubes and lots of loops, but I would like to still have a long band for some moves. Where Cathe no longer sells them I have looked elsewhere, but I have found that other brands are often too short. Any suggestions??

This is a brilliant marketing idea Jenn K! Love this!

This 13 minute Ted Talk by women's nutrition and athletic performance researcher Stacy Sims may be of interest. She addresses why some active women have challenges losing weight. She talks about nutritional strategies that can address the specific needs of women at different stages of life. Some...

Looks like a really awesome workout that would never get boring. Cathe, loved the 'Start Strong, Finish Stronger' tshirt. Where did you get it?
