Thanks for the clip! @forum_admin I'm confused with Cathe and crew are wearing the bands so high up on their legs? I remember Cathe always saying (like during the floor segment of Lower Body Blast) that you get more glute activation with the band lower, closer to the knees??? Thanks

Thank you for the update! So glad you are moving along in your recovery. Sounds like you are healing like a boss (no surprise there)! Great photo, especially that cute kitty wearing matching sunglasses. :cool:

Ditto! Please take care of yourself!

Take care of yourself, Cathe! Take all the time you need to heal. I'm so glad you listened to your body, observed the warning signs, and got the medical care you needed right away! Sending best wishes and virtual flowers to you and your family. Xoxo

Will these fabric bands and loops be used in future Cathe Live workouts?

Mom of 4 with healed DR here, so speaking from experience that yes, crunches should DEFINITELY be avoided while healing. Planks are controversial, and I still basically avoid them all together. Rule of thumb: Any exercise that makes your belly dome into a cone shape or a loaf shape is a...

Sometimes I notice that I (unintentionally) hold my breath during a strength rep or cardio move. I then breathe harder to compensate. Maybe that is coming into play here?

I also enjoyed this one! Thanks, Cathe

What a mood booster! So fun, festive, cheerful. @Cathe Friedrich how did you breathe through that Santa Beard mask?! :D Happy holidays, everyone!

@aqua girl Yes! I showed my engineer DH the bands you recommended and he figured a way to wrap our new Cathe bands with handles on our Rogue to make it work just like the Power Systems. It is awesome and I very much appreciate your input! Have a great holiday season. :)

I'm going to be honest, I did shout at you during the warm up with the lunge kicks into the side lunges into the lunge back knee up combo. I needed an 8 count walking break somewhere in there. My legs and lungs were on fire, and I thought "uh oh, is this what the whole workout is going to be...

Now I get it! Found the bands you're talking about and they look great. Thanks so much for going the extra mile, @aqua girl. I appreciate it. Off to go shopping for bands... :)

Thank you for the responses, ladies. Very helpful! I have tried before using the band just like Cedie did but it never felt like "enough" if you know what I mean. So @aqua girl and @Debinmi do you double up with two bands of the same resistance, or do you fold over a single band to double its...

I have a Rogue pull up system but long story short, even with pull-up assistance bands, pull-ups and I don't get along. Has anyone done STS without pull-ups and chin-ups? What exercises did you sub in? Meso 1 just has so many of them...help! TIA!

Same with me, @Hazlady. I do not know how Cathe can hold 2 dumbbells in one hand! One other thing I forgot to mention is that for me it is helpful to have Neoprene dumbbells. I have only found them in weights up to 20lbs so I can't use them for my heaviest weights, but they are way more...

This was exactly what I was wondering. I've caught myself doing this. Squeezing the life out if your dumbbells or barbell can definitely lead to sore fingers!

I purchased the tubing with handles and also the firewalker bands last week but haven't gotten them yet. My current tubing set is so old they needed replacing. I feel confident that I will like the tubing because I have always loved Cathe's firewalker bands and am so glad those are back! I also...

Add me to the list of those who extra extra enjoyed this one. @Cathe Friedrich using 20s on those pullovers though? I definitely did not match her weights on that move!

So true!!! Funny that we are up to the task of crushing a hard-core Cathe workout, but putting together a barbell takes too much effort. :p
