I'm guessing for an update on progress Thursday or Friday based on Cathe's recent newsletter - I'm so excited! :D

Thank you for the update! :D

I'm really looking forward to this but agree with aqua girl - the DVDs won't be here until after X-Mas. For me that's fine since I've been sick the past few months and plan on getting back into exercise once the holidays are over but I would be more than delighted to have the series arrive...

They all look amazing! Very inspirational! :)

I'm with everyone as far as having to do a LOT of modifications! But this looks like fun (I say that now lol)! :D

Ooohh... I can't wait for this one!! After being sidelined the past two months because of illnesses I'm ready to get back in shape and this looks like it will do this trick! :)

Me too! The only barbell I could find that fit the plates we have is too heavy to a lot of exercises with so I'm happy to see dumbbells as well! :)

Hi Brenda! I'm sorry to hear that you've had this as well - yes to the stabbing feeling and lying on the floor! It's really scary. The E.R. docs gave me a shot of ibuprofen and cough syrup with painkillers in it so I can sleep without coughing too much. I think I had already had a little bit...

Hi! I was just wondering whether anyone here has ever been diagnosed with costochondritis, or inflammation of the rib cage? I was told I had it after going to the E.R. (I thought I was having a heart attack!) and that strenuous exercise or excessive coughing can be causes. Well, I did both...

Thanks to Cathe and crew for providing alternative moves! I for one can't jump or do anything pylo due to knee and other issues that come with age so I'm so happy to see this! :)

Wow! Thank you all for the replies and excellent suggestions! I'm going to try them all... while I like knowing when it will rain because of the metal plate I'll swap that for a stronger wrist! :)

I can do a plank but NOT with a dumbbell - I modify the exercise in XTrain Bi's & Tri's by just doing regular kickbacks with a heavy weight. It doesn't target the core the same way but at least it works the triceps!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on strengthening forearms? I broke both bones in my left wrist (ow!) a few years ago and am having trouble upping the weights for my left arm because of it. Thanks to Cathe I can do curls with 20# but only with my right arm. I did have to...

I think the fact that you're exercising is proof enough that you're no weakling (it's a lot easier sitting on the couch than getting yourself moving, at least in my case)! Everyone is different and keeping up with Cathe would be a challenge for almost everyone! We all have our limits as to...

Wow! Everyone looks fabulous and all are an inspiration (love the colors too)! I miss Cedie, though.... :)

You're welcome, Terina! :)

Randidiane - you're more than welcome! :)

Yep those are the two (Total Body Giant Sets and Compound Giant Sets)! Total Body is longer and kicked my butt but I'm sure both are equally awesome! :D

I bought a set from Amazon last spring and they've held up great (link is below) - includes light, medium, heavy, extra heavy and a little bag to hold all of them. They're pretty sturdy and not too expensive... just an idea and I hope this helps! :)...

If it helps remind people about this great workout I'm happy I started this thread! :)
