    Cathe Friedrich's LITE PHA 2 Workout

    Confession is I still haven't got round to doing it...the day I planned to I just didn't feel like weights so did Cardio Party :D Going to try it tonight because I just got OnDemand and have been very interested in the Strong & Sweaty series (did the Cardio Slam couple of days ago, it was...

    Low Impact Series

    I have got the ONDemand and am impressed at its scope and the frequency with which new content is added via the Live. I don't think any other subscription service offers so much new material. I'm going to look at the LIS and give some of the workouts a try; like I said before, I have used...

    Low Impact Series

    I am taking the plunge this week and trying On Demand/Cathe Live. I did have FitFusion subscription which I like but don't use much since I got into ICE and LITE so might as well try swapping it for the Cathe sub and see what happens.

    Cathe ice series vs Jillian Michael BodyShred program

    I agree - it was using Jessica's workouts that got me fit again and I still use them now. Her 8-week programme (not sure if that's the one you refer to) is fairly tough in some places, I would say about as tough as some of the ICE and LITE. I still get breathless and a sweaty mess when I do...

    Lower Back Pain

    It can often be the sciatic nerve but yes, it does need a professional diagnosis.

    Absolutely loving the Calorie Crushes!

    They don't cause you to sweat???!! I DEFINITELY sweat when I do these. I agree with you about the length, it's just enough to add a bit of a challenge after the main events - not tried doing them all together like some others on here have but it's something to think about for the future...

    Cathe Friedrich's LITE PHA 2 Workout

    This is the one workout in LITE I haven't tried yet and am planning to do it tomorrow. I've been working out most of my life (I started with Jane Fonda, that's how long ago - I'm 57 years old!) but I almost stopped completely for about a year because life just got on top of me. I've been...

    30 days of oatmeal?

    I use a recipe that I found on Youtube (I think the channel is called Clean and Green eating? Blonde lady called Debbie or maybe Demi ) - and I make her banana oatmeal muffins all the time - oats, mashed banana, bit of almond milk (or any milk you like really), couple of eggs, baking powder -...

    Low Impact Series

    Yes, that's what I suspected - I knew I could modify moves to avoid the dreaded (for me) disks, but the workout wouldn't be the same - I think it might end up being just cardio when with the disks would still get the same cardio effect but also some interesting muscle activation. I think I...

    Low Impact Series

    Thanks :) With regards to ICE/LITE, I've been building up my fitness for about 12 months and I got the these 2 series because I wanted to move towards more advanced programmes and I thought a Cathe intermediate might be advanced enough. Cardio-wise, they don't challenge me that much (I'd say...

    Low Impact Series

    Thanks for all the info - I was aware that there are gliding discs used in LIS but wasn't aware that it was a lot. I do own some gliding discs that I've used in other trainers' workouts (and these would be less advanced workouts I'm talking about) and I don't like them at all. I just feel...

    Feeling like a weakling- able to lift half of Cathe's weights

    I have a similar story - I was very fit then ended up caring for an elderly relative and having no time or energy (like many of us). I re-started exercising seriously and daily about a year ago and I too just got LITE. The heaviest weight I can use fairly comfortably is 8lb. I've started...

    Low Impact Series

    I wanted to ask if the Low Impact series is 'intermediate'? I had a feeling that it was Low Impact but still pretty much an advanced series...(I'm looking ahead to which series I could get into next - I have LITE and a couple of the ICE ones so I suppose I'm asking if the Low Impact Series...

    *Stacked Upper Body* A+++

    Glad to meet another first time Cathe user - I'd watched clips of her workouts on YouTube for months before I dared try them and I'm glad I did - not just because the quality of the workouts and customer service is so good but also because these forums offer support and encouragement too. Not...

    *Stacked Upper Body* A+++

    I'd been avoiding this one because upper body strength is not my forte but braved it for the first time today . I'd mostly been using 8s as my heaviest for months and had just started integrating 10s before I purchased LITE. 10s are still the heaviest set I own so I obviously used those for all...

    Favorite Calorie Crush

    Metabolic Blast definitely - can be done without any equipment and therefore added onto anything else easily. I did Bodyweight and Bands without the loop because I fear it will make me fall over. I like the Cardio Party one but I have to remember to get my step up from the cellar to do it...

    Metabolic Blast = 2 thumbs up!

    The Metabolic Blast calorie crush is my favourite all all the calorie crushes - I pretty much add it on to everything I do, even non- Cathe workouts :)

    Rev'd Up Rumble

    I'd been laid off with a bronchial infection for a while and so had not worked out at all in 8 days (in all honesty, I'd barely moved from the sofa in that time...) . Towards the end of last week I did a bit of yoga and stretching, did some other instructors' workouts for the next couple of...

    Stacked lower Body

    Tried this this morning for the first time - I don't own a barbell so I lodged dumbbells on my shoulders or held them up under my face. I also must admit that I don't own any dumbbells heavier than 10s at the moment - I'm just moving into more advanced workouts - but as this was my first time...

    New Series

    True and I'm sure the next re It had been so long since I had my bands out that the one I wanted to use had dried up and perished and snapped in half as soon as I stretched it! I was forced to use the only remaining one which was the heaviest/hardest one in my set. It did hurt...:)
