    Woohoo! I think I saw your workout for yesterday as well. You hit it hard, lady! Very impressive. ❤️ I have four children (two boys and two girls) and we are in the thick of it, for sure. Tomorrow is FlexTrain … if I can get down to the basement and make it happen I took 6 months off from...

    DONE! It wasn’t a dumpster fire, but it was definitely not my best, LOL. Lots of modifications today. You were right, AG, about the warmup & stretch. The stretch, especially, was yummy. My hip feels better, though, and my back is warm now, instead of achy. Needed that good mobility and blood...

    Morning! And thank you! In the thick of making breakfast for my family of 6, preparing for school (we home school), and trying to squeeze in a workout before 830AM. Scheduled today is Slide & Glide: express cardio + abs + stretch. Hip and lower back are sore and funky after yesterday‘s Pyramid...

    Is this where all the fitness nerds — er, cool kids — write in with what workout they did for the day? Because I did Pyramid Lower Body today ;P :D

    Best high rep?

    Just completed! I had the mini-step on five risers, just like the girls. MAN! It’s not my legs, it’s my lungs — WHOO! Lots of pause button moments, for sure. I went 5lbs lighter on the lunge pyramid, 10lbs heavier on the squat pyramid, and 15-20lbs heavier on the deadlifts. I count today as...

    Best high rep?

    Thanks for the feedback! I love step and am not much of a kickboxing fan. BUT! I literally have every other step video except maybe the classic-classics (think: thongs and sponge-painted walls kinda “classic”). The price point on CTX is really the thing. I get that it’s two DVDs, but since I...

    Best high rep?

    I know I’ve talked here about my love for Butts & Guts. It’s so good! I also have Xtrain Legs on my rotation tomorrow, but I haven’t done Pyramid Lower yet so I’m going to give that one a go (hints and “outer body experiences” welcome!). I also purchased KickMax, which I‘m doing for the first...

    Best high rep?

    YAH: It‘s all fun and games until you get to biceps! Of course it‘s the very last pyramid after you’ve already done the rest of arms and you’re good and fatigued. I started with a 10-12-15 pyramid and ended up with an 8-10-12 pyramid. I felt like such a wuss! LOL I usually use 20#-25# for...

    Best high rep?

    Just did Pyramid Upper Body (from the Intensity Series) for the first time. I had looked at it for yearrrrs but finally pulled the trigger on buying it when I was rounding out missing DVDs I needed to complete the rest of the Hard Core, Intensity, and Body Blast series. It was a Daily Deal a...

    Okay, I did it.

    This is me, except with DVDs. All told (if you count DVDs in a series, like ICE, LITE, STS, STS 2.0, etc as “single DVDs”) and add in all the single Cathe DVDs I own, (some of which have up to three totally different workouts on each disc) I probably have 125 workouts in my collection. Putting...

    Best high rep?

    FlexTrain is great for high reps/metabolic. I would classify it as almost an PHA workout. And the original PHA workout is great, too (from Strong & Sweaty), but PHA 2 and PHA 3 are also great. Don’t know if those count as “high rep” since they are metabolic, but if they do, I might as well throw...

    Best high rep?

    My favorites: Muscle Endurance Power Hour/Maximum Intensity Strength/Body Max (three different workouts, all contain weight segments, but the latter two also have cardio) Muscle Max (one of my all time favorites) Supersets/Push Pull (two workouts — both are superb; I use this one a lot) Pyramid...

    APRIL ROTATION: Building Strength

    Been looking for this exact rotation of Gym Styles plus a mix of older videos for several days now. Thank you to whomever cared enough to keep it alive!

    Index of Cathe Rotations April '03 - Jul '08 (CatheNation Links)

    I know this is an older thread, but I thought I’d let y'all know the links seem to be broken. (Boo! I was looking for older rotations and was excited to find this.)

    Feel good/powerful article from Cathe's Newsletter

    If I look around at the women I admire most, who have made the most lasting impact on my life and bettered the lives of others, I’d definitely say they were strong, opinionated but also prudent. Rarely did these character traits or behavior ever say, “small, soft, or unprovocative”, even if they...

    Hard Core Rotation?

    No, I am still doing the Xtrain/LIS three-month rotation! Started today with Xtrain Chest, Back & Shoulders. The pacing and reps are different than STS 2.0, for sure. Xtrain is tough (I think I’ve done most of the weights portions at least a couple times through). I only own Xtrain DVDs 1-5...
