Hi Nathalie, You can buy the Strong Curves book from his website or elsewhwere; I recommend the actual book rather than the Kindle version because it's easier to flip and go back, etc. Check out his website -- Bret Contreras | How to Build Strong, Powerful Glutes and Increase Your...

Hi! I'm glad I've had extra time to keep up in here. Work has slowed down and even though I prefer it more quick-paced I definitely can enjoy the down time for a while. This morning was Intensity Step. My pre-warmp was 20 body weight goblet squats, nice and low, and just to activate the...

Cool:cool: Another Cathlete is doing one of Bret's program as well and she loves it. I know what you mean about not following a DVD but after years and years of always doing DVDs it was VERY nice to reconnect with my iPod:) Oh - I found that doing ab exercises during sets made good use of my...

Congratulations, how exciting! My husband and some friends did it a few months ago - they had a great time. I would have loved to participate in it but my body can be a wreck at times so I opted out. One thing I know is that you will need awesome GRIP strength; look up Grip Strength exercises...

Awesome! Welcome to the Cathlete club:D

I did the Glutes only program and loved it! Learned a lot about glute training; loved the book. Since the Glutes only program also works the back and biceps I did Cathe's BurnSets for the rest of my upper body and did Hiit workouts a couple times a week. It was definitely a cut back in...

Happy Monday fit and fab women, Sunday I accepted the X77 challenge; I did it and yes, I did run for the lighter weights! It started off with a huge blast and I thought *what did I get myself in to* but I enjoyed it very much and definitely was glad I am not too proud to lower my weights. In...

Good morning! Yesterday I did a DVD from a long time ago; I broke out the Piloxing DVD which recently came up in a FB post. It was fun. I had absolutely no trouble in the floor work session or during the program using legs and glutes -- my LB has obviously gotten so much stronger:D However, my...

Good morning, Yesterday was glute activations, hip thrusts, single leg dead lifts, elevated back lunges, single leg back extensions, hip cable rotations, and finally foam rolling. This morning was glute activations, goblet squats, cable abductions, front/back band walks, Hiit...

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was Afterburn after glute activation drills. Still in love with AB:D Decided to change it up and modify a little -- You know the feet-dragging staggered pushups? Instead of doing that I skipped the pushups and held the plank instead - this means I stayed...

Happy Sunday, Today was Pedal Power premix#3 and Total Body Stretch (basic). I usually do ball#1 or ball#2 but this was a nice change. I started off with glute activation drills and hamstring cable kickbacks Toni, 50? Yikes! I bet everyone had a great time, and I be you are glad to be back...

A little late on this thread so happy Black Friday - which I want no part of. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and counted all blessings!

Hip-Hop repeater is a blast. In fact, now that I know that move sometimes I do that one instead of a knee repeater:D

Today we walked the dogs and did some yardwork - and now I'm back in my Jammies :) I thought I'd do some cardio or something today but I decided to make it a rest day. Yesterday I did Burnsets but took it easy. Good thing I did because I'm feeling it today. After Burnsets I did a few sets of...

HI! Wow, can't believe it's already Wednesday. It's practically dead around the office. I have to be here so I am, but I don't have a lot of work on my plate right now so it is nice to have this time to catch up. All I've been doing for days is step, some glute work, and very little upper...

Hi wonder-womens, It's been 4 days since my last post - sounds like a confession, doesn't it?! Since Tuesday I've done more glutes and Slide and Glide twice (cardio portion). I'm still not doing much upper body. Today I went to a Physical Therapist who is also a Massage Therapist and a...

Good morning! My morning started at 3. Don't know what's up with that but I took full advantage of being up so early by having a nice, long workout session especially after having a rest day yesterday. I definitely see a trip to Starbucks at least once today:D I just do the regular dark roast...

Sorry to hear it, Justine. I haven't experienced that in particular but to me it sounds exactly what you said; working out hard taxes the body and it certainly can weaken your immune system. I wonder if extra nutrients and extra sleep when you're working out that hard would help. Good luck!

Hello, and happy Beautiful Sunday! I've missed checking in with you all - looking forward to catching up. Busy this week, especially yesterday - spent the majority of the day cleaning but we sure needed it. My last several workouts have been Glutes, HiiT 40/20, Flex Train, and this...

I tried that with firewalker loops but what I noticed is that it was TOO heavy. I was able to get full range of motion with using the heavier band than using the light&med together.
