After trying the ICE dvd's several times, I have to say I'm not loving this series. Straightforward lifting and hiit seems to fit the bill for me. Would love another series along these lines❤️
I would say STS is much more comprehensive than Xtrain. It is a 90 day program and the times clock in around an hour or so. You have to incorporate your own cardio as it is purely a lifting program. STS requires Dumbbells, step with various risers,, bands, stability ball, turbo tower (or pull...
I'm assuming you have tried Cathe's brand? I use them all the time and don't have issues. I think you're right in that all of them do tend to roll a bit. Probably not much help, but my two cents.:p
Funny you would bring ginger up Nckfitheart2009. I've recently started mxing apple cider vinegar, a bit of honey, water, ginger, and a pinch of cayenne for my morning protocol. Each of those things has great benefits, so I don't think I can go wrong!!
Awwww, that's so kind of you, DirtDiva! Isn't it wonderful that life challenges often give us gifts we never would have known otherwise? the mind/body connection is so, so true. It's awesome that you've learned the connection between stress and gut health, etc. Everything truly is connected...
Wow DirtDiva! I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles! I know you used to be on the forums a lot and I miss seeing your posts. Life sure can put us in a tailspin but it sounds like you're making the best of a toughie. I just want you to know I'm thinking of you and sending big (((((hugs)))))...
My goal is to maintain my strength and my cardio capacity. I'm happy with my weight and my body so for me it's to just keep on keepin' on!!!:) Turned 60 in January;)
Hugs to you NY25 and Clare. No experience with iron deficiency or anemia but I can imagine the ramifications. Keeping you both in my thoughts and sending you energizing, healing energy!!!
I just turned 60 and am lifting heavy, doing plyo, HIIT etc. I feel fabulous and I was so looking forward to my 60th. I am thrilled that although I may have a few wrinkles and aches and pains I am healthy in mind, body, and spirit!! Indeed, counting my blessings!!!
After reading some comments...
I pulled out Ice Metabolic TB yesterday and boy, what a workout! I think I was a bit fatigued beforehand so not sure if that played a role, but I got an excellent workout! I upped the weights on most of the exercises, but I think with even the weights Cathe is using, this is almost an advanced...
Cathe:D. I hope no one takes offense to this anecdote but the other day I commented to a friend that I sure hope Cathe doesn't die before me. Their response was, "with any luck, you'll both go on the same day!" All meant in fun, of course!!!!:p;)
