I have identified the reason I don't like leg day. I'm a very "results oriented" person, and I can't SEE the results of leg workouts, because my legs are in good shape due to my step workouts, basement stairs, and my recreational activities. So... the reason I make myself do strength/resistance...

Just knowing I'm not alone in hating leg day made me feel less lonely. lol I love Cathe, but even Cathe can't make leg day something I enjoy. Your mention of osteoporosis is why I make myself do it. I have a small frame, so I'm at high risk and I'm mid 50s, so... I try to make myself do it. I...

I have tried (in the past) doing shorter but more frequent leg workouts, but I still don't like them and I have trouble squeezing them in. I am small (higher risk of osteoporosis) and mid-50s so my main concern is bone density. I've heard that light impact helps with density. And I know...

I'm so glad that your shoulder surgery went well, and that you are back to Cathe. The "dread" factor you mentioned is something I used to be able to push myself through, but I stopped working out for over a year and a half, and my motivation and good workout habits are just gone. I'm hoping it...

Thank you! I escaped a bad situation and it took longer than expected. I had to stay offline, but my son and I are safe now. Unfortunately... I haven't worked out for about a year and a half! So, I'm going to be starting from scratch. I've managed to stay active under the circumstances, but a...

I enjoy working out, but I dread leg day. I don't like it. I don't want to do it, and I'm a big baby about it. So... I just want to verify that I actually need to be putting myself through lower body workouts. lol I love step aerobics and kick boxing, and I do them regularly. I don't suppose...

Oh! I'd really like a quick full-body (if possible) weight bearing work-out (a bonus maybe?) that focuses on adaptations/modifications for those with uncooperative body parts (ex. wrists) that uses little to no equipment. Just a 10 or 15 minute workout for those days where things just didn't go...

I have taken up line dancing as well as couple's dancing. I have found that it has improved my memory! I have absolutely no idea why, but it's fun, great for balance, and good for my mind and body. I know this is an odd request, but I would love a cardo workout on the floor (rather than the...

Jessica has free Youtube videos, but I haven't done them, though, because I only have a laptop and don't know how to make Youtube stuff show up on the bigger screen of our TV. I have quite a few of her DVDs though. Also, on Amazon, if you have a particular DVD you're interested in, you can...

Layne, I'm 53 and obviously not as young as I used to be. lol I do 2 strength training days and 3 cardio days (because cardio helps me burn off excess energy and tension). My mind still needed 3 cardio days, but my body wasn't handling it well. In addition, I'm underweight, so the cardio seemed...

Thank you! I just received mine yesterday, and the timing was perfect. I found it in my mailbox when arrived home from playing pickleball. I'm new to the sport (turns out there are no pickles involved:-), and I'm pretty sore by the time I get out of my car. I did both workouts and felt so much...

Thank you! I have avoided using that DVD, because I did find it distracting to have it pause like that on this type of workout. Thank you so much. I'll be checking my mailbox regularly. :) So excited!

I remember reading your post questions about the mat. I own the mat, but it cost enough that I don't want my dogs running all over it. So, I haven't yet used it. That's why I didn't reply. I intend to use it at the new house we're going to be moving into (eventually), because I'll have a...

Vivbc, I'm sorry to hear that. Stay safe, and I hope everything calms down soon. So many fires this year...

I'm very sensitive to smells, but I didn't have any issues with Cathe's 6' mat or the one for the step. I ordered mine about 2 years ago though, so maybe something has changed in the manufacturing or the way they are stored? I hope you find a solution. A lot of odors cause me to have headaches...

I didn't know that could happen! My son had one for his physical therapy for over twenty years. Then, one day, when I was helping him with some of his exercises, he just kept getting shorter - slowly, but surely. I thought I was going crazy, until I realized the ball must have developed a leak...

I'm really petite and physically active. I wasn't accustomed to developing fat, which is what I thought was causing my thighs to lose definition. I talked to my doctor about menopause and some of my symptoms. While I was in her office, I asked if there was anything I could do to combat fat. She...

Kellyro77, yes! That's the quote I was trying to remember. It makes me laugh every time. With my luck, I'll actually have a problem with my ball at some point in time. I've smacked myself a couple of times with bands/tubing that broke while working out. If anybody's ball is going to pop, It'll...

"That said, I'm someone who likes the polished finished products of Cathe's workouts." Kellyro77, I am too. There are many live workouts as well as YouTube ones if someone wants that. For purchasing, though, I have to have a polished and professional product. I don't mind going to the gym and...

I might be getting what your talking about, but not sure. Do you mean like somehow showing one of the cast's progress in one or more areas (like weight loss, muscle tone, increased strength by ability to increase weights, or that type of thing)? I like the idea, as it would be motivational, but...
