Definite strength gains - I finished week 12 last week and was sad to see it end. Upper body was my most apparent strength gain. Coming off the rotation this past week, I did Muscle Max upper and was able to increase my weights on chest flys, biceps, and the first part of the triceps.

I really, really like Amy Bento - so psyched about her new workouts! IMHO, she is second only to Cathe in giving hard-cardio step workouts (gasping for air, especially once you incorporate the power-ups), and she gives great choreography too. Natty, I am sure you could get the choreography, it...

I am not a Dallas Cathlete but instead Houston - however, I thought I would give you a big Texas shout-out anyway and say welcome!! You will love springtime in Texas, so good time to be coming. Good luck on the job search, wishing you well! -Stephanie

Huh, this looks interesting. I am going to listen to this podcast; thanks for passing it on.

Yes, the Glutes one sounds amazing too - after the XTrain 100 rep hip thrusts, I am excited to see the next great glute challenge from Cathe!

I love the burn sets! Usually I prefer something like supersets because of the boredom factor, but for some reason I feel totally motivated during all reps of these and, man, can I ever feel them the next day!

Holy cow, so excited!! Cathe Friedrich - It’s Time to Put Some Fun Into Your Workouts! – Announcing Cathe’s 2013 Videos! I can't believe there will be that many new ones after XTrain! Sign me up! And while I am very excited for all of them I can't wait for *squeal* Party Rockin' Step...

Coconut oil is really awesome. If you are looking for other options, I love S.W. Basics (used to be sprouts) lotion - it is organic coconut butter, organic olive oil and fair trade shea butter. Because it is a little more pricey by weight than coconut oil, I reserve that for my face. You can...

I am on board the complex step wish-train too! That would be sooo awesome. I am just excited for anything Cathe puts out though - can't believe so soon after XTrain! How exciting!

OMG, so excited about this!! It has to include the warm-up from Butts and Guts. Best. warmup. ever!! :)

Totally embarrassing, but I had a sun visor (remember those?) I wore all the time that said "Gag me with a spoon" across the front. Mortifying :o. I wore it everywhere. To match my pegged pants, of course.

Thanks so much Zenara25! Sorry everyone else for the double posted question.

I have been following the 90 day undulating workout program for XTrain (which I am LOVING, by the way!). I am using the XTrain User's Guide for my rotation. I am entering into Week 6 and have a question - it looks like Tuesday is Chest, Back and Shoulders, then Wednesday is Tabatacise: Your...

To add to the list: Cardio Core Circuit and the HIIT Pyramid always go with me for no equipment cardio. Crossfire (need a firewalker band) is one I use - like a pp, I use water bottles for weights and I also always bring Slide-n-Glide so I have the sliding discs with me. If you did not want to...

I agree, I would love a discussion on certain moves and where you are supposed to feel them. For example, I love the current squat explanation on Cathe TV where you show the muscular-skeleton animation of what muscles are working as you squat. Would love to see something similar for rear delts...

Hee hee, this was hilarious - and so true! I love this workout, everything about it - actually, this warm-up is my hands down favorite Cathe warm-up ever (I know, I am weird to have a favorite warm-up). Anytime I need a good warm-up for a workout that doesn't have a good one, I pop in the B&G...

I have done the hip thrusts and lateral raises - really like both so far. The lateral raises were really hard - I was shaky by the end, for sure. The hip thrusters I am going to definitely incorporate on a regular basis - I would say it is the one exercise where I *really* felt superior glute...

I had trouble too - so I feel better reading this. So glad noone was watching me! :o However, I really did enjoy them and was I ever breathing hard through them. So definitely something to work towards . . .

I am in Houston and mine came on Saturday - we were out of town and I got back yesterday to the package waiting on our doorstep. Yippee!!! So other Texas Cathletes should see theirs soon!!:D

I have just "discovered" the bonus core/upper body segments in To The Max and Cross Fire. I freaking love them! I have been including them in my December rotation, tagging them on my upper body day after I finish with my weights workout. I alternate between the two. They fly by - I really...
