I never would have guessed you are 63, Nicki! You are inspiring! Great model of how consistency, a good balance between yoga/stretching, cardio and weights and putting the time in can pay off! No slowing you down!

Wow! Great progress Lannette!!:)

STS is suberb! I have finished it 3 or 4 times and it felt amazing. Just finished the 3.5 month rotation 5 weeks ago. Lots of hard work but worth it. Good luck gals! Hope you enjoy!

I am 60 and having been working out with Cathe pretty consistently for many years. I own pretty much every workout she has produced. Although my skin is aging and my body is changing in more ways than I would like in terms of external appearance :rolleyes:;) , my fitness level and my health on...

I would love Cathe to put out a serious weight training series where each disk uses a different advanced technique for busting plateaus. Inspired by Cathe's recent blog on Breakdown Training I am thinking that a workout that uses this fun and challenging technique could be bundled with new...

Both are great series for sure. I like the Blizzard Blasts with ICE and I like the cardio results with RWH. Why not do a combo of both? In the ICE User Guide is a rotation that uses both ICE and RWH!

I have done this too and found there's no problem at all to switch up the sequence. But I would recommend sticking with whatever plan you make so that each leg day is a week apart. Good luck and hope you have fun, ctvanram!

So sorry to hear about your back, Penny. Hopefully you're 'back' at it soon. No justice in getting injured when you are working so HARD to stay healthy and fit. WHOA!!! I am just going to have to give that a try when Super Cuts comes up in the rotation (I think that is next week for me)...

When I was 52 I went to a podiatrist and she said to always wear a shoe with a back to it - no slip-on footwear, not even slip-on slippers. I took her advice and this has really helped me. I wear sneakers when walking any distance - even on the beach. I wear Keen or Merrell sandals for shorter...

Hope you have a great birthday on Wednesday, Nicki! :) That's so cool to finish on your special day!

Congratulations! Great work and a big accomplishment hanging in there and working hard for more than 3 months! Hope you saw some nice results.

Couldn't agree more! Exactly what I feel. STS gives you a really great sense of accomplishment and is Cathe's best strength builder. But XTrain changes body composition! Good for you Penny! Great results from lots of great work! Well deserved. I think doing STS just prior to XTrain really helps...

Really thankful you got me into XTrain, Penny. Absolutely loving it. No dread factor. Well, except Tuesday;)... lead a fitness class on zoom and was spent by the end. Wasn't sure if I could handle Cardio Legs and that dreaded Core 2 on the same day! In the end got it all done and felt great! Was...

Glad you are pacing yourselves gals. As Cathe says, "The energy cycles". Keep 'er up! Have fun this week.

I too would LOVE to see an updated Rock Bottom rotation! Great idea! Would love to see hip thrusts and other targeted moves thrown in together with some of Cathe's newer workouts.

One positive I am finding with XTrain is that Cathe holds the stretches just a little longer than she typically does. Ahhhh! I so need those relaxing stretch segments!

Good plan! Not only do you do tough tabata training with that one but Cathe also does a blast on the step after each tabata. She says the step work takes your heart rate down a little, but I find the step section not much reprieve!

Love your style, Penny. You're making it work for you! And good for you...sounds like you're into month #2! I am moving along...half way through week #2. Core #2 just about killed me! o_O I find it really challenging with the high reps and very short rest times between moves! But otherwise...

Hang in there Nicki! :)

Almost finished week one of XTrain and super loving it. Can't believe the variety. NO exercises are repeated so the workouts are fresh. Did the brutal 80 mins Legs workout today. Cathe uses it all - loop, ball, weights, disks, mat, dixie cups, barre.... It is super long and tiring but not...
