    Question about Functional Lower body premix

    I like to blend my own too. I also like to insert a few breaks, so I don't have to pause the workout to get water, stretch, or whatever. That way I know exactly how long the workout will take.

    Question about Functional Lower body premix

    I noticed that too, so I blended my own to add the standing firewalkers in. There is also an error in Chapter 13 Side Lunge to Crossback where the equipment has Dumbbells and High Step. the High Step isn't used for this exercise. Only Chapters 16, 17, 18 & 19 use the High Step.

    No premix On Demand

    I use my laptop to access Cathe OnDemand and the premixes are found under the Workout Blender tab. Not sure how it works for the various Apps. However, there is currently an issue with any premixes that contain the Bonus workouts which they are working on. Premixes that don't include the...

    On Demand issues with Mobility Fusion

    Yoga Fusion Timesaver 3 is wrong. It does the standard warm-up, and balance moves then instead of going to the bonus it repeats the warm-up and goes on to sun salutations, cat cow and finishes with the warrior chapter.

    Cathe's Thanksgiving Day Workout

    I did this one yesterday. Did it twice through, first time with lighter weights and second time with heavier weights. A nice little workout. Thanks, Cathe!

    Lift, Move & Restore Update 11-19-2

    Hi Forum Admin, Would it be possible to post the first one or two weeks of the standard rotation on the forum and Facebook to get those who have received the DVDs and downloads a chance to get started while we wait for the User Guide to be released? I know this was an issue with STS 2.0...

    Sorry...I still need help understanding

    To clarify Cathe has her weekly Live workouts and also has the workouts that she releases on DVD. There are two streaming options, Cathe Live and Cathe OnDemand. If you subscribe to Cathe Live, this gives you access to the weekly workouts (over 500 workouts currently). Cathe OnDemand is the...

    Poll: How do you currently access Cathe’s content? (Multiple Choices)

    Actually, shipping is usually free worldwide if the series is >$50, otherwise you can usually get free shipping if you purchase another DVD to bring the total to >$50. Even better, with the presale deal offered, the extra DVD would ship immediately for free and then the series would ship for...

    Poll: How do you currently access Cathe’s content? (Multiple Choices)

    I used to buy DVDs and when Cathe started offering the Lives to purchase as downloads I bought quite a few of them. Then Covid hit and shipping from USA to NZ was terrible, so when we got better internet, I switched to OnDemand. Now I hardly ever use my DVDs and purchased downloads. I love...

    Heavy bag

    I also have a free standing one and use it for the heavy bag segments. I find it raises the cardio level and works the core and other muscles more as you have to absorb the impact.

    Heavy Bag Bonus workout?

    Mine is a free-standing one too. I didn't have room for a hanging one. Filled the base with 40kg of sand (approx. 88lbs). I could have added more but the sand I had was in 20kg bags and was a bit damp so wasn't pouring into the base easily. It took ages to fill up so by the time I'd done two...

    Heavy Bag Bonus workout?

    Yes, it's just those 3. Cathe also has heavy bag work in her Lives though. Out of the 3 my favorite is XTrain, then Rockout Knockout, then MMA Boxing. I find I have to adjust my punches on the bag, especially the upper cut. I tend to punch out rather than up on the bag otherwise my glove...

    Great Glutes

    I notice the outfits more than the makeup. Although I am more focused on the moves than anything else.

    Muscle Lost with LM&R?

    Funny you should say that. There is a thoracic spine rotation exercise I do on the Pilates chair in prone position, hands on pedals which are separated, and I rotate through my upper torso. When I rotate to the left, I collapse into the left side. Going to the right is OK. So, there could be...

    Muscle Lost with LM&R?

    Lannette, this is so true. When I first started Pilates over 20 years ago, I was also going to a gym regularly. I noticed a huge improvement in lifting once I began to strengthen my core and stabilizing muscles through Pilates. I've been struggling with issues in my right hip for nearly 2...

    Poll: Weight Bench Set Up

    Using my adjustable bench I still have to rest the weights on my thighs before laying back. My bench is also higher than my step even with 6 risers each side, so I find it harder to lift heavier weights off the floor. There are different kinds of benches though. Mine is a cheap one that I...

    Poll: Weight Bench Set Up

    I mostly use a step & risers and bought Cathe's step mat too. I had a step with 4 risers, 2 each side but the step surface was uneven. I managed to find another step second hand and got 8 risers with it, so I now use that step and have 12 risers in total. I also have an adjustable bench that...

    Side leg lift ?

    It's because of the angle. When leaning against the ball/step, your top outer thigh is always engaged. With standing or lying on the floor your outer thigh isn't as engaged at the bottom of the move, i.e. when it is closest to the other leg. Also, when leaning on a ball/step your bottom leg...

    Your favourite Cathe live for downloads

    I prefer the body split workouts, all upper or all lower, but like some total body occasionally. There are a lot of total body workouts, some have cardio like the Boot Camps, while others are more weight focused. Personally, I like the PHA and Total Body Giant Sets (TBGS) workouts. TBGS 1...
