I just signed up to take this class a few weeks ago; I'm aiming to do 2 classes a week in addition to Cathe's workouts. Has anyone done this class or classes similar and if so, what were your results? I'm noticing the endurance in my core and hip musculature leaves something to be desired lol!

i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a good organic coffee? The choices at the supermarket are pretty limited. I'm looking for anything ground (not pods). Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have been slacking big time: both with checking in (obvi) and working out. My coworker had off this past week so I covered his hours; at the time when I signed up for it, I was thinking of the $$ (thankfully we get paid OT), but by Friday I was exhausted. Went away on my dad's...

Good morning everyone! Did Cardio Supersets this AM from the Low Impact series: those squat thrusts are killers!! New girl at work is not the best lol. She's...let's say...not the brightest bulb in the pack. One of my patients was choking on water then got scared and started having a panic...

Hey everyone! Quick check in for me today: today is my rest day. I usually take them on Tuesdays cuz it's my 12-hr day...BLEH! Things got a little hairy at work this AM when a patient showed up for her appointment 2 hrs early and threw my whole schedule off, but I got everyone done within a...

LOL the crazier the better!! I love it already ;) Justine, I just started the XTrain w/ LIS 90-day rotation today and I'm adding in blizzard blasts from ICE on the shorter days. Hopefully I will make it through the whole thing! I was really great with my workouts before, then grad school hit...

Hi everyone! Do you guys mind if I join your check-in group? I seriously need some accountability and Liberty, I just read your success story: girl, you are amazing!!!! I need someone like you to motivate my lazy butt :)

Not Cathe (obviously haha), but it's perfectly fine to keep your elbows bent during a pec fly. Your pecs insert into the upper part of the humerus, so theyre not impacted much by the angle at which your elbows are bent; bending your elbows does, however, reduce the lever arm during the dynamic...

Mary, I'm so glad you decided to consult with a PT! As a PT myself, I come across a lot of scripts from specialists saying don't do this or don't do that, when meanwhile the patient is completely capable of handling it. We specialize in therapeutic exercises and movement, so you are in good...

As a physical therapist, I see patients with OA all the time! As part of their treatment, I make sure to include a lot of strength training. People come in believing this fallacy that because they have arthritis, it means that they're destined for a sedentary lifestyle but it's actually the...

I use these in clinic all the time with my patients. It's great for shoulder rehab and all-around scapular stability. For an added bonus, I'll put those who are higher-level on a stability ball and have them use it while sitting on the ball. I love the body blade...my patients, probably not so...

After a long hiatus (AKA the horror of grad school), I am finally getting back into a fitness routine. I had been going to the gym 3x/week, but I just wasn't excited about my workouts. I even tried switching them up because I thought I was just bored, but they were seriously lacking something...

Were you lifting while doing the 3 days of cardio? just from reading your post, it sounds to me like you are expecting a lot from your body. I'm not sure how intense the step classes were at the Y compared to Cathe's workouts. Speaking from experience, I have taken step classes at the gym...

Does anyone have a strength routine that they would recommend for the gym? Now that I moved into a new, tiny apartment, I can't do strength training since I don't have room for any of my equipment :(. I would love something that's a few weeks long. TIA!

Aaaaah this post is a physical therapist's dream come true I loveeeeee it!!!!!

Can anyone recommend a decent plant based protein powder? Preferably not soy and whose taste is tolerable. I was looking at the Raw Meal by Garden of Life but the reviews on how horrible it tastes kinda deterred me lol. Thanks!

Workout done! I did STS D3 and X10 low impact. The X10 sounded innocent enough but it actually killed me :eek: I loved it! Kristin, sounds like you had a busy weekend! I've always wanted to try Insignia: sounds delicious!! Glad to hear you made it out of the party alive ;). I REALLY hope...

Good morning girls! Today I plan on doing STS D3 and maybe some cardio. Fun filled day of studying too, yay :rolleyes: Had the talk with the new guy Friday night and yup, it was what I thought it was: I seemed like I was pulling away so he was confused by me, which made HIM pull away, and...

Good morning girls!! Today I'm planning on 4DS Bootcamp/Kickbox cardio premix, studying, working a tasting event tonight, and then seeing the boy. Girls' night last night was SO much fun and was exactly what I needed. We went to play pool and luckily enough it was ladies' night so we got to...

Good morning! Today I'm planning on doing STS D2 and some abs. I got booked for 2 events this weekend (yay!!) so I have to go down to pick up my kits, then tonight I am hanging out w a friend from class. Pretty sure whiskey will be involved, which is very much needed this week ;) New guy...
