My first thought when I read the title was "Buy X10!" You've been given some great suggestions to tide you over, but X10 is such a great workout, adaptable from 24-77 minutes depending on your needs. It's one of my favorites. Even just doing one of the five workouts is intense and effective.

I've never had Cathe's calendar. Does she have rotations in there every month, and if so, are they different than what she puts online?

Merry Christmas! Hope it was wonderful.

Hi Cathe! You asked us to remind you about your plans to create a January rotation focusing on metabolic training workouts, to lose fat while maintaining/building muscle. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for all of your comments! It's scary to think what could happen. I mentioned a cane the other day...she didn't get upset, but I don't think she's quite ready to do it yet. Her Mom died Friday, and it was my Dad's birthday, so I didn't push too hard. Two of my three sisters...

Great idea!

My Mom is 76 and has never really exercised (other than a short time at Curves, but I don't think she really worked up a sweat...). The other day she came to my daughter's orchestra concert, and on the way to the car afterwards she tripped and fell in the parking lot. Apparently she didn't...

I love all these stories! Keep them coming. It's nice to know I'm not the only one constantly watching out for my dog. He has a way of being underfoot. I work out in my walk-out basement, so he's always wanting to be let in or out.

This morning I did Butts & Guts Leg Blast Premix, so I had jello legs. During the stretch, I was doing down dog with one leg in the air, and my dog (a sweet black lab/border collie mix) comes up and licks my armpit! Needless to say, I lost my balance. Anyone else have pet stories?

Thanks Cathe! You're the best!

You guys are enablers! I can't let my Cathe collection be incomplete. Off to order CTX and a blue band.

Cathe has this on her deal of the day today. If I have Xtrain and almost everything else Cathe has made, do I really need this one? I hate to pass up a bargain. Any advice?

Why do I feel like singing this to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas? (Fifty calf raises in place of 5 golden rings...) Just need to add exercises for 12 and 11.

I managed to do all 5 tabatas today, plus Core Max #1 (except levitations - unlike Cathe, I am only human), plus 300 walking lunges with 8-lb weights (possibly 320 - DH interrupted and I lost count, so I might have done extra rather than cheat it). I gave myself permission to stop after 3...

I'm a week behind most of you, so today was STS Total Body upper body premix. It was only 24 minutes long! Did I do the right one? I added in the warm up and stretch, then noticed after the stretch it started playing some incline chest stuff, but since I had already stretched I didn't do it...

I'm not a runner, but DH has done 4 half marathons lately, so I hear a lot about it. I second the suggestion for Hal Higdon's program - he has different plans based on your current fitness level. Sounds like Nan gave you some great advice!

I would suggest your cardio workouts be mostly metabolic workouts in which the focus is on compound movements. These are great because they keep your body releasing growth hormone to ensure as much strength and muscular growth as possible while dieting. I would suggest three to four metabolic...

I love this and totally agree! I think the way I see my body is more important than the visible changes!

I did Butts & Guts this morning. I haven't done this one in a while - forgot it had so many walking lunges after yesterday's 300! If my butt is sore now, I may not be able to walk tomorrow, but I'm supposed to do Kick Max. Even though I can't do every rep of every exercise perfectly, I'm...

I'm a week behind most of you (just started Monday) so today was Pyramid Upper Body and the dreaded 300 walking lunges with 8-pound weights! Somehow I made it through! I was a drippy mess afterwards, but it felt great. My dog was staring at me like I was crazy when I kept lunging back and...
