    Morning! On tap for today is (was?) LIS — Low Impact Challenge. I woke up feeling a little tired, but nothing insurmountable. Went down to do the workout, took a little longer to warm up than usual — just thought I’d warm up and find my groove. Nope. It just went down hill from there. I got...

    Good morning, lovelies! Today is Xtrain Burn Sets: Chest, back and shoulders + Core #1 = 61 minutes. I think I’m finally over the hump of “ugh, I’m tired — do I have to work out?” And I’ve finally made it back to “Woohoo! What are we doing today?!” (Cue Golden Retriever excited face)...

    Happy Cathe is Cathe!

    Bumping this post from five years in the future. Couldn‘t agree more. I think it’s attitude and professionalism that are the standouts with everything Cathe does. The “hard” workouts are not about her proving how much fitter or stronger she is than you; they are an invitation to excellence...

    Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. I ended up doing another four hours on leaves today. Still have to tackle the back yard (next week, don’t worry!) BIG HEARTS to everyone. Sundays are always my “rest days” (not that I’m not busy on Sundays, I just don’t work out). So I‘m with...

    SUUUUUPERRRRRR CUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTSSSSS! I feel amazing. LOVED IT. Great workout. I used a bench to modify for those dratted burpees (shudder) and the kick outs. But I got almost all the sit-up/pushups done (on my knees for pushups). Probably my new favorite workout. Eye of the Tiger! ON TO...

    I LOVE suspension training. I looked at how much a TRX system was and shook my head, though. It’s spendy. But I figured out a way around it — gym rings! They are a fraction of the price, installed easily into my basement ceiling, and they are adjustable — just like TRX. The grip is different —...

    Leaf Max 2.0 will hopefully start early this morning so I can get it done. You know you’re in it to win it when you are simultaneously shaking your fist at the still-shedding trees in your yard and also looking at your neighbors’ leaf piles and saying, “Wow, good job, Frank. That must have been...

    Sorry about the hair — BOO! Leaf Max just wrapped up... After four hours. Leaf Max 2.0 will have to wait until after I complete XTrain Super Cuts tomorrow. Im gonna go take a shower … and a nap.

    My girls and I drive to get ours done by the stylist who did my hair for my wedding! That’s how long I’ve known her. But it‘s an hour drive (her salon is right by my parents’ house, so we use hair appts as an excuse to visit grandma and grandpa). We had a crazy summer (my oldest developed...

    Looks great! I have KickMax on the docket for today, but I’m on the fence about just completing Leaf Max instead. I might do the warmup and leg drills from Kick Max and still do leaves. We are drowning. You can’t even see my driveway anymore. I have long hair (down to the middle of my back)...

    Daily Deals

    CTX and Pure Strength were on deeeep discount yesterday but every time I tried to get on the shop site, it wouldn’t load. All my other pages, including this one, would. I’m bummed now.

    This is “Gym Styles”, right? If so, it’s on my list to do probably the week after Thanksgiving. All the Gym Style workouts are “new” to me since I decided to get the entire Hard Core Series (except the compilation DVD). Is it difficult? What other workouts would you compare it to?

    So if we are walking into a dark alley one night, what you’re saying is, you’ve got my back… Because if you can push a Yugo around a gym floor, Im pretty sure you can protect yourself. :D

    Flex Train — DONE. It was easier than I thought it would be… and harder. The music makes it worth it. And now I want blue tennis shoes. ;D Cede is hard not to look at. She always gives 110% and looks amazing doing it. (Those little ties at the end of her leggings would drive me bananas...

    “Grocery Max” is officially the title of my store-runs now. :D I love it! And thank you for the kind words. This is my second conference. My last was about 6 years ago. I’m really pleased they invited me back. My last session was good… but I do not look back on it fondly. A re-do is definitely...

    Hi Nora! I’m so sorry about the MS — BOO! And estate issues are a lot to deal with — period. My husband’s father passed away from lung cancer back in ‘03, and his mother lived in the house as long as she could until she had to go into Alzheimers care. Selling the house was not so much of an...

    PS Just got invited to speak at a conference next July. WELP! Fitness and nutrition goals, for sure. They are filming it and I really don’t want to show up with my Mom Bod. LOL. Really and truly, that’s not 100% accurate. I will be what I will be — professional, poised, prepared and humble. I...

    Best high rep?

    Must be Gym Styles. Pyramid Lower has some but they are definitely doable. There was another one… (thinking) Maybe from Xtrain? I can’t remember. It’s not Gym Styles (because I haven’t done that one yet) but my calves literally would not raise for another rep and they cramped the next day! :D
