Hi sophiaj990, you might be interested in trying one of Cathe's Rock Bottoms rotations. June 2006: https://cathe.com/forum/threads/june-06-rock-bottoms-rotation.236281/ June 2011: https://cathe.com/feb-2011-rock-bottoms-rotation/ and November 2013...

For y'all that have done BeachBody on Demand, what do you think of it? I am thinking that this one may be the best fit for me for the sheer diversity of the workouts you get (pretty much everything) plus the annual plan puts the cost at less than 9 bucks a month. Is it easy to use and is...

If you don't have Lower Body Blast, it is similar to Cardio Leg Blast, IMO.

Ah, OK. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is the hormone your pituitary gland releases to stimulate your thyroid to produce triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). With hypothyroidism, if your TSH levels are high, it means that your body thinks the thyroid is not producing enough T3/T4, so...

Do you mean that your TSH was 5.1? My doc told me that they like to see numbers under 3, and endocrinologists say that you should really shoot for 1. I am at 2.8 and the doc is adjusting my meds to get closer to 1.

Leslie Sansone is my guilty pleasure. On days when I don't feel like working out, I pop in one of her shorter workouts and do a stretch or foam rolling afterwards. I have a ton of her DVDs and will keep doing her workouts forever. A few days ago on a recovery day, I popped in her 4 boosted...

That is the thing I find about Cathe (and other instructors who do higher intermediate to advanced workouts) - in the long run, they are better for you than workouts marketed for the "beginner". In a beginner workout, you have nothing to aspire to. With Cathe, I have reason to push myself...

At that price, I went ahead and bought one myself. It's been more years (decades) than I would like to admit since I've bought a step platform. The one I had was the really old Cathe step with only the 6", 10" and 14" options. The new updated version (4", 6", and 8") with the wider and longer...

"Cede's counting because she doesn't want to do any extra" :-) I think this line was from Pure Strength? She (and Brenda) have been at it a long time, ever since I can remember. I don't blame her for perhaps wanting to move on, for whatever reason. We lost Lorraine years ago. Cheers to...

I have owned and used three different strap-on HRMs from Polar and Timex. Then I got my Fitbit Charge2 and got rid of them all. I compared my Fitbit readings to the chest-strap monitors and I found that the Fitbit does lag a little, but if you just want an overall picture of how your workout...

The Original Step is 56.84 on Amazon today. That's the lowest price I've seen for the Original Step in a long time. https://www.amazon.com/Step-Original-Aerobic-Platform-Health/dp/B0746XT9WX/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1533923958&sr=8-3&keywords=the+step

One of my favorites also. Leg presses/step-ups: "I hate it....but I love it!" Lol.

I am perimenopausal. In the last few years, I have been packing on the pounds all over, as well as on my gut. I have to workout 6 days a week and watch what I eat/count calories just to maintain, let alone lose weight. A week or two off, and I easily put on 5 lbs. I went in for my annual...

I kind of feel like I have to bump this to the top again, with all the requests for "easy" workouts. I will also note that since XTrain (which was more intermediate-advanced) many years ago, we have not really had a fully comprehensive "advanced" series. (*Maybe* Ripped with Hiit counts, but I...

The index contains rotations that Cathe puts together on a monthly basis. There are other people that post rotations to that forum as well, but the index I linked is for Cathe's rotations. Every month, she puts a rotation together and describes what the rotation is supposed to accomplish on...

Hi @RubySue78 : I see you are new and thus may not have seen the "Video & DVD Rotations" forum on this site. If you click on the rotation index links in this forum, you will see descriptions of Cathe's monthly rotations and the links to those rotations. I find this very helpful in picking a...

Heheh. Once I finish my current round of XTrain, I think I am going to finally do a Jari Love rotation and then give Body Beast a try. Although I think it will be hard for me not to laugh initially at all that "beast" talk during the workout, Sagi does sound like he knows what he's doing in...

The previous link is for the circuit size step. The health club size step (which is what Cathe currently uses) is here: https://www.amazon.com/Step-Original-Aerobic-Platform-Health/dp/B0746XT9WX/ref=lp_14329881_1_2?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1531245126&sr=8-2

@Beth-B-Fit: I think Cathe's Jan 2012 One Month Total Body Recharge rotation comes close. https://cathe.com/forum/threads/january-2012-double-rotation.287356/ Haven't done it yet, but it's on my short list.

Agree! Very fun thread. 1) Supreme 90 Day. Bought this a long time ago and NEVER used it! I keep meaning to start, but always get caught up in something else 2) Dasha Libin's Kettlebell Kickboxing 3) Michael Skogg's Skogg System Not really programs, but years ago, I put together rotations...
