We aren't wimps. We're pain sensitive challenged. lol

I don't know the answer, so hopefully Cathe will see your question and respond. I just wanted to let you know that my chiropractor swears by foam rolling for the back, but when I first tried it, it was very painful for me. He suggested that I modify it by using the roller for my back against the...

Sounds like you've been down this road before! I'm glad you're on the road to recovery. I'm happy for you. :)

Firemedic, I'm so glad that things are looking up for you. I hope you had a chance to see your doctor about your shoulder? It sounds like you haven't had much time for yourself, but it would be a good idea to get assurance from your doctor that it will heal on its own or find out if you need...

Yes! That list is exactly what I've been looking for in the way of recovery. Thank you Cathe! Thank you for keeping us updated, and now that you're done filming, I hope you and the crew have a chance for some recovery of your own. :)

When I'm lifting light, I start with my right side, which is what most Cathe DVDs seem to do for most exercises. When I'm lifting heavy, I start with my left (weaker side) first and then match the reps with my right (dominant/strong) side. I figure changing it around every so often is probably...

Yeah, the doctors had me try that until they figured out my actual diagnosis. After diagnosing me with Neurally mediated syncope they tried putting me on the medications that help most people with the condition, but I had a severe allergic reaction to one, and the other dropped my blood pressure...

AVeyRa, I hear you. I went through this mindset change years ago. Every once in awhile... I still have to give myself a little shake (or kick in the butt), and remind myself to workout smarter. I ended up not choosing between pushing myself too hard or telling myself this is too hard. I gave...

Dark chocolate is part of my "recovery". That's my story and I'm sticking to it! lol

Osutxgirl, I don't care for a timer either. I like to focus on my workout. The countdowns are helpful to me when doing HIIT or things when I need to mentally tell myself I can do it - only 3 seconds left or that type of thing. For regular workouts, though, I find timers cause me to start...

I only use DVDs. Our internet is unreliable, but even if we could depend on it, I'd still use DVDs. I like having a visual on my bookshelf. It represents how hard I've worked. I feel a sense of satisfaction when I slip that DVD back in its case on slide the case back into it's spot on the...

I've do a couple of ball workouts for core/abs, so I'm excited about this one. It sounds like the core workouts for this series are going to be full of variety. Still hoping for an idea of the recovery portions of STS 2.0, because I'm loving what I've heard and seen so far regarding the core...

I'm so sorry for what you went through. I'm glad you're alive and basically well, and I hope your shoulder injury is something that can heal on it's own and quickly. It had to be scary and devastating to be there watching the damage happen to your home. I'm glad you have family that you can stay...

Oh Amy, I'm so sorry about your puppy. I have lost dogs over the years due to old age, and one of them had a tumor. I love cats as well, although right now, we only have 2 dogs and a bird. With the economy the way it is, we're uncomfortable taking on any more financial responsibilities. The...

Glad Al is back. My husband likes working out with Cathe, but he's always so much more comfortable when there's a guy(s) on the crew. So, now I won't have any trouble ordering this series. It won't be for just myself. My husband will want to use it too. :)

Brenda has always seemed genuine to me.

I'll gladly do them kneeling. Kneeling is probably as close to a break/rest as Cathe's going to give us. lol

Standing abs - Yes!

Maybe call it the Mid-life Special or the Wisdom Workout. lol I do like to think of myself as getting wiser rather than older. :)

I'm a proud non-Facebook (or Twitter or anything else) member as well. :cool:
