YvetteM, I purchased a Valor Fitness BD-9 Power Squat Stand at Amazon for STS. It works great as a pull up bar, squat stand, and for bench presses. I didn't have Cathe's rack (Power Tower?) so this worked out well for me.

I really like the looks of these and I like Vol. 1, and so I was tempted. But I won't let myself acquire either of the new ones until I use Vol. 1 more regularly. And I'm standing by that! :p (There, I said it, now I really have to stick to it.) ETA: I CAVED! Shame on me. :oops:

I don't need to look great in a bikini. I wanna be able to rock the outfits Cathe does in RWH -- you know, the first outfit-of-every-day!

Oh no, Jen, that bites! Is there a gentle stretching workout in PiYo? Or do you have any gentle yoga? Maybe you could do a Yin yoga (long deep slow stretches) from youtube, for example Yogi Nora's.

I have 3 weeks left to go with Body Beast. Then I'm going to do XTrain or XTrain/LIS until Ripped with HiiT. I'm so excited about the new series! Actually, I'm excited about doing XTrain again too. :D

Hi everyone! I've been doing Body Beast for a while now too. I'm doing the Huge Beast rotation because it has less cardio and am just starting Block 3 tomorrow! I'm looking forward to moving on since the last block was 6 weeks of the same thing. Oh, and I haven't been doing the leg workouts...

Laura, here's my edited version: 36 Week ROTATION FOR BODY BUILDING - CATHE Weeks 1-14 Do STS in its entirety. Week 15 Take one week off. Weeks 16-19 Do Gym Styles for one month. Weeks 20-21 Do the low impact series for two weeks. Weeks 22-25 Do Four Day Split for one month...

I got mine in the mail today from Mary @ TFDVDs! Well how-in-the-world did THAT happen? ;) :D I'm actually watching it right now. I was thinking that I'd start it when my Achilles tendon was completely healed. But what-the-heck, I might start it tomorrow morning before my first physical...

Hi ladies, I haven't been here for a long time. I actually stopped doing workouts on the last day of June. My hands were hurting from being on crutches, my hips and lower back ached, and I just got tired of crawling around on my knees to set things up. Six weeks was too long, mentally, to be...

Hi ladies, I'm still hangin' in there. Been doing A LOT of sitting. {sigh} Renee, sorry to hear you're feeling frustrated. I know how you feel, but I don't dare weigh myself right now. lol Are you looking for a job? That can be hard. Jen and Renee, what you went through sounds...

Oh I totally agree! I love those old songs (and I'd especially like to hear some Joan Jett on a Cathe DVD). I don't even mind the changed lyrics.

Hi Ladies, I hope your workouts are going well. Last Tuesday I had the MRI. I have a ruptured Achilles tendon, 1.5 cm separation. I decided to go with the non-surgery treatment. An interesting tidbit: my doctor told me non-surgery is more commonly done in Europe where in the US most...

Hi Ladies, With the nicer weather I've felt so much busier and more energetic than the first week of May. Here's what I've done: Sun: gardening Mon: Bike 12 miles Tues: XTrain Burn Sets: Chest, Back, & Shoulders Wed: Rodney Yee's Power Up Yoga: Energize and Breathe Thurs: Cardio Leg Blast...

Whoa, where has the time gone??? I'm just going to post what I did last week so you all know that I'm still keeping up. Sat: Elllen Barrett Grace and Gusto (library) I just can't see buying any of Ellen's DVDs, maybe 10-20 years from now? Sun: Hard Strikes Timesaver - no conditioning + Bike...

Oh my gosh, that was a funny rotation to read through! :D Cathe's so stern and serious. But, ahem, I guess it's not really a rotation to laugh about. :eek:

I loved the XTrain/LIS rotation! I definitely intend to do another Xtrain rotation someday. STS is another of my favorites.

Good ideas, Swimmer! I do have Yoga Foundations and a few KCM's I could do 30 min. I was looking at Jessica Smith's Total Body Balance, but then tried one of her walk workouts on youtube, and was unsure. Oh, the choices!

I do need to remember to do shorter premixes! I have been starting to add short yoga segments to the end of shorter workouts and I think I need to continue this. Thanks for the DVD suggestions. I did Cardio Supersets this week as well as Low Impact Circuit, though LIC totally exhausted me...

I've had a low energy week and a few weeks ago a recovery week, having finished 5 months of STS. I'm finding a need to add some less intense workouts to my collection. Who better to ask than Cathe fans? What are your favorite workout DVDs for strength maintenance, cardio, movement, anything...

Hi ladies how are you all doing? Nathalie, hope you're having fun in Paris! My previous week, first week of Gym Style, went pretty well despite all the DOMS. However this past week did not. On Monday, I did Gym Style Back Shoulders and Biceps, which was left over from the previous week, and...
