I finished up XTrain about a week ago and now I'm thinking about taking up Body Beast again. Since XTrain and Body Beast are similar in some ways, I'm thinking about combining both programs and possibly doing a six month long rotation for ultimate muscle confusion (i.e. Body Beast-month 1...

I'm going to preorder too although I'm not really interested in the step workouts since I'm very choreographically challenged. I may give the second step workout a chance though if the choreography is very basic and there is no flashy footwork.

I really hope she is doing a sequel to the Gym Style series or possibly another Slow and Heavy set. I have to say that Slow and Heavy works my muscles like no other.

Hi Cathe, I was just wondering if the 100 rep challenge was going to be part of the Xtrain rotation or if it is just something that we do during our own spare time? Also is the majority of Heavy Strikes going to be low impact similar to MMA boxing where only some of the leg drills were high impact?

Hi Cathe, I was just wondering if the 100 Rep Challenges are something that are going to be a part of the XTrain 90 rotation or are they something that we just do during our own spare time?

Thanks Cathe, I'm definitely looking forward to it. This is totally off topic but I was just wondering if there is any chance of a Slow and Heavy II in the future if there is enough demand for it?:)

Hi Cathe, I was wondering if there is going to be a rotation that combines XTRAIN with STS or are they going to remain two seperate entities (albeit in the same family) for the time being?

I personally think a December release date is more likely. After Cathe finishes filming (which is probably going to be for the bulk of October) they still have to author the dvds which can be a pretty involved process and then they have to wait for the manufacture to replicate the DVDs which can...

Not Cathe here but I'm guessing she will probably have a premix where the drills are done only once. I know this was the case with some of the workouts in the low impact series like Afterburn and Cardio Supersets. I personally like the drill repetitions in the cardio workouts. I always use the...

We are pretty much on the same page. Hopefully Xtrain will have music similar to STS and the the shock cardio series. I thought the music complimented those workout series completely. Xtrain is supposed to be a serious no nonsense workout program and the music should match the seriousness of the...

I hope XTrain is simple...but not too simple. I actually hope that Cathe actually keeps the Pre-Calucatulation format simlilar to what she had for STS to take the hassle ouf of trying to find that perfect weight so we can get the most out of our workouts. The 1 rep max test seperated STS from...

Ditto on the DVDs all in one compact package. I personally prefer to have all of my dvds all in the same package too. It's more convenient and it makes everything a lot less cluttered.

Wow Cathe....This news just really made my day! I'm so excited and I will pre-order as soon as the pre-order officially starts! I know the original Cross Train Express had a lot of step, so hopefully there will be another alternative for those of us who step challenged (i.e. Cycle Max 2...

So far I have done a few Body Beast workouts and so far I really like it. It's not quite as well put together as Cathe's STS (there is a little too much awkward camera movement and it's not nearly as comprehensive), however, It's definitely a nice change of pace and as they say variety is the...

I've already ordered my copy and it should be here within the next few days. To me this workout should compliment STS pefectly as I plan on doing another STS rotation after Body Beast for maximum results. For some reason I doubt Cathe is going to create a direct sequel to STS anytime soon...

Yes, the show is very addicting! I think it is one of the best new shows on TV and I'm so excited that it got renewed for a second season.

Is it just me or does anyone else think think that Cathe and Lana Parilla strong favor one another. For those of you who are unfamiliar with her, she is the leading actress in the Once Upon a Time series on ABC and she is very beautiful. Anywhoo, as I was watching the show I just noticed that...

I'm also in favor of this type of rotation. I think it would totally awesome!!! I'm also in favor of Cathe releasing a different 3 month rotation every quarter whether it involves STS, Gym Style, Slow Heavy, etc...as opposed to a montly rotation. I'm personally more motivated with the 3 month...

Hi Cathe, In the Ask Cathe forum you posted a body building rotation and one of the things you mentioned was to do STS in its entirety. When doing STS in its entirety does that also include cardio on the non strength training days?

Cathe responded to this question in another thread. She said to perform however many reps you can with the original calculated weight you came up with when you were performing your rep max exercises and once your form goes, have a lighter set of weights on hand to continue with the workout. I'm...
