Jen, I just now went to look at Cathe's May Rotation. Looks really good with a nice variety! I have Slow & Heavy but have never tried it. I also have Amy Bento's Slo Mo Strength, never tried that one out either. UY is Travis Eliot's Ultimate Yogi set and Sweat Express II Cardio and Dance...

roegriff, hi and welcome! The Chicago RT must have been so much fun. I imagine by the time you get home you're totally exhausted, in a good way. Did you get to meet Cathe? Well ladies, I started Gym Styles/Jan 2014 Rotation today. I wasn't sure if I'd be ready, but I was. The last 2...

Ladies, I am happy to see the renewed enthusiasm with this check-in. Renee, it's so nice to see you here, I hope you continue to join us. Jen, it's really great to hear you'll be continuing with Gym Styles! Yay!! Your rotations really do look fun. I'll do a new workout just once and never...

:D tic93, umm... no you don't. My workouts: calendar, compendium, DVDs etc. are organized. My life ... well, not so much. :p Priorities.

Hello ladies! Well as you recall, I had my recovery week. We were on vacation that week visiting my parents in Florida. I did a couple of walk/runs with my DD, played plenty of ping-pong, and snorkeled a few times (once with manatees!) - a very different type of active recovery for me...

Gosh, how can a person recommend just a few! The bigger my Cathe collection got the more I had to have. :eek::o IMO you can't go wrong with any of Cathe's DVDs. Sorry, I guess that wasn't helpful at all. :rolleyes::D

I organize my DVDs by year like this: Cathe DVD’s The Classics Vol1: StepJam’96 / Step Heat’95 / Step Max‘95 Cardio Hits: Power Max ’96 / Step Fit ‘97 / Step Works ‘98 1999 Pure Strength: Legs&Abs / Chest,Sh&Tri’s / Back,Bi’s&Abs 2000 Circuit Max / Cardio Kicks CROSS TRAIN XPRESS 10-10-10...

I love this idea and I really like this thread! Ladies, you've motivated me to bring out my 3 barely-used (1 is unopened) Tonique DVDs out of hiding and try to incorporate short segments into my next Cathe rotation. Yay! Thanks for the inspiration. :D

I really like my Ruthless set too! I've done about half of the workouts so far. I think they'd pair up well with almost anything since they are body weight strength/cardio workouts that are only 20 min long. I've used them 2 to 3 in a row or paired with kettlebells. I'm unfamiliar with JNL...

This has been my past week: Sun: STS M3W2 Disc 28 Chest & Back Mon: Ruthless: Fast-Slow Circuit + AOS Kettlebell Clinic: Pinnacle (2 rounds) Tues: STS M3W2 Disc 38 Squat Rack Legs Wed: Power Max + Abs (I skipped the 3rd step segment, too tired :o) Thurs: STS M3W2 Disc 30 Shoulders, Biceps, and...

I was in the same boat and needed the smaller size. I finally ordered 2 sets of Pace Weights and I love them! http://paceweights.com/

How are you doing ladies? I'm really enjoying Meso 3! Last week: Mon: STS M3W1 Disc 25 Chest & Back Tues: Low Impact Challenge, love that cardio blast at the end! Wed: STS M3W1 Disc 37 Squat Legs Thurs: AOS Kettlebell Clinic: Elevation II (3 rounds) + Ruthless: Hardcore Abs & Arms Fri: STS...

Goodness, I really meant to check in last week! Last week: Sat: AfterBurn Sun: AOS Kettlebell Clinic - Elevation II (3 rounds-20lb KB; 1 round-25lb KB) Mon: STS M2W4 x2 Disc 22 CST Tues: Cardio Supersets + Amy Dixon Give Me 10 Core Cuts: Yoga Six Pack Wed: STS M2W4 x2 Disc 23 Legs Thurs: AOS...

Hey Jen, I'm really sorry to hear that you've had to change direction with your workouts for good, but I think that's what you need to do. I do hope you'll continue to check in with us for support and updates on your progress, in addition to sharing your expertise. It'd be great to hear how...

I am a mesomorph with an unfortunate layer of evenly distributed fat. I would love to have a cut look. I'll continue doing what I love best: moderate/heavy lifting and metabolic/Hiit workouts with other types of workouts thrown in occasionally for variety. Several years ago, I would say I...

Jen, it's so good to hear your wrist is getting better! Last spring I was 1 week away from finishing XTrain/Lis 3-mo rotation when I injured my shoulder and pushed through the pain. Bad idea, because that made it worse and then I didn't know how to proceed with workouts. I tried to put...

Nathalie, I'm currently previewing Lauren Brooks Kettlebell Lightning DVD. This is not a beginner DVD, there is no instruction on how to do the moves. Lauren has excellent form pointers and tells where you should be feeling some of the moves and how they should feel. She does the audible...

Believe it or not, I've been sick again. So frustrating. I used to be able to say that I rarely get sick. I'm better now but a little hesitant to do any hardcore cardio. Last week Mon: STS Disc 19 CST Tues: Paul Katami Ultimate Kettlebell Workouts for Beginners - Drills & Combos only 26...

Well ladies, I'm gearing up for Squat Rack! This weekend I ordered the Valor Fitness BD-9 Power Squat Stand, a barbell pad, and two 9-pc sets of Pace Weights. I really could have used the Pace Weights last week and I'm thinking they'll come in handy for the Gym Styles month. I'm still...

Nathalie, I love it! I'm really glad I chose to do this the first time around, and without having done the 1RM tests, this is the better way. It has given me the opportunity to "up" some of my weights in the repeating weeks and it has given me more time to figure out what equipment I may need...
