Thanks for that, and also thanks for emailing me with assistance later, it is appreciated.:):) However, on reflection, I think I might stick with accessing the content via On Demand. I've been happily using that service for a while but have temporarily suspended it whilst I recover from an...

I've tried to order downloads only twice today - am in UK so it means it's cheaper and I don't have to wait for DVDs to ship - but I keep getting a message telling me to put in a state/province before I can complete my order. I'm filling the relevant asterisked cell on the form with...

I also started with the Firm! I had been dong LITE and ICE and also some Strong & Sweaty and Fit Split to up the ante but I've had shingles for two weeks now and it's hit me hard! My rash is on my chest left hand side but all the nerve pain is in my left shoulder blade - having been lucky...

I'm not a fan of one legged burpees - to me, they just feel awkward rather than challenging and so I'm always concerned I'll injure myself. I also feel that I get more of a cardio burn if I just do regular burpees with a jump up, so I tend to start out giving the one-legged a go, then finishing...

I tend to do the calorie crusher without a loop on now - couple of weeks back my heel/ankle flared up and I thought it might have been jumping on a step - but now I believe it was because my lighter weight 'firewalker style' loop snapped in the middle of the workout (it was old!) and the only...

I think what's great about going through these Cathe workouts is that you can progress, even at my age (57). But progressing for me means sometimes taking it a bit easier and the variety is so great on the ONdemand that it's easy to do that.

Being fairly new to Cathe I often trawl the forums just looking for references to workouts I might try - thanks for referencing this one, had a quick peek at it and it looks fun and challenging in a way that I might just be able to do it. I have a high step but mine has only 4 risers (I think...

I'm so glad I read this. I had some issues with Achilles back in 2005 when I did a LOT of yoga exclusively and I had some ultrasound treatment for it - I'd almost forgotten about it because it has never come back after I switched to doing different kinds of workouts, but a couple of days ago I...

I just think it's so clever - the main workouts are very do-able, so it can indeed be 'less' but if you're aiming for 'more' then the CCs and the add-ons will definitely help you to progress - they certainly have for me...

I'm focusing mostly on ICE and LITE but beginning to incorporate some Fit Split and Strong and Sweaty - not in any kind of planned or organised rotation, just as and how I feel. Last night was Lite Bodyweight and Bands plus the Calorie Crush with Lite 6 pack abs 1. (My medium small...

I'm 57 - don't have any injuries and currently trying to move towards more advanced stuff. I got LITE initially and found it to be very much at my level, and was looking for something to push me beyond. I now have on demand and am dipping my toes into ICE and Strong and Sweaty. I know ICE is...

I've done this one a few times and am pretty close to matching the weights used now, and going slightly heavier on occasion - I'm using some 11s and 13s and integrating 17s (but only holding for lower body exercises, not lifting 17s yet). Aside from the benefits of PHA, I'm finding it to be a...

:) I find it quite the workout with a medium weight band! Bands are tough....I do like it though, and the calorie crusher.

I like the Amy Breathless ones - she shows at least three clear levels in all of them so they're even good for beginners. I still think the first Breathless Body she made is the toughest one in terms of cardio - it's pretty relentless!

This morning before work I did the S&S Boot Camp. I loved it - I was more or less matching Cathe's weights. I have no barbell so used 2 x 10lb dumbbells and for the heavier exercises employed my 5kg (11lb) or my 6kg (13lb). I failed twice - I could do one arm rear flies with the 10s but when...

I did this one again this morning - I had bought some weighted gloves that were useless, could not get the velcro straps anywhere near tight enough to actually keep them on so they just kept falling off....got a better pair at the weekend (only 0.5kg - about 1lb I think) so did the workout...

I must have a look at STS - been dipping into Cathe workouts with my new OnDemand subscription, trying to find ones that will push me just that bit out of my comfort zone but not totally floor me. I do wonder, though - if it's an advanced weights workout in which Cathe and the class are using...

Yes, you're on a roll there! I got myself 2 heavier dumbbell sets now (previously my heaviest was 5kg or 11lbs or so). So I got 6kg (about 13lbs) and 8kg (a terrifying 17lbs). I'm now very comfortable with the 11s . I've used the 17s for adding weight to lower body workouts only with no...

Have to say, I keep coming back to this workout - love it and its Calorie Crush (well, when I say I love the CC, I mean until Cathe tells me I have to do a one legged burpee... :D). Recently I've been doing parts of it with heavier weights - 10s and 6s as opposed to 8s and 5s. I think this...

I did it yesterday! It is repetitive but I didn't mind because I found it helped me to feel the movements, feel which muscles were firing and think about my form, especially as the moves aren't performed too quickly. It got my heart rate up somewhat, but as I currently don't own any weights...
