I can see why you get to a sticking point with these chrono efforts. There is a DEFINITE dread factor for some. Skipping around and taking more than one session to finish is probably helping me keep going.

Sunday-Saturday June 5-11 It was a ridiculously busy week at work and I got very little done on the workout front. Because I want to continue with a 3 day split for weight training, I brought in some STS a little early. I'm still working in everything else in order. I just really craved STS...

There is ALWAYS dread with Cathe's leg workouts! I found that if I just do my own thing (straight sets) without all the pulsing, low end, top end, whatever, that I still get a good workout and I don't hate it. Going back through all these old workouts have actually made me really CRAVE...

And I just realized I missed an entire week! Sunday-Saturday May 21-28, 2022 Cathe Time Travel Rotation Body Max Step Fit Cardio Kicks (warmup and like 5 minutes only....ran out of time before work) Supersets Push Pull 2 rest days

Sunday-Saturday May 29-June 4, 2022 Cathe Time Travel Rotation Gym Style Chest/Tri Gym Style Back/Sho/Bi Gym Style Legs (which I LOVED!) Cardio Kicks (again tried to get through the whole thing) Imax Xtreme 2 rest days I think I'd only done Gym Style Legs once and I don't know why because it's...

Joy is most definitely what we are all missing! If it will re-invigorate you to go back to the beginning then that is the best decision you can make. My "love of all things Cathe" is definitely with the strength training and so I've suffered through (and cut short) the step workouts. Between...

DAY 17 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Wednesday 5/18/22 Planned rest day. Worked 8am-8pm. DAY 18 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Thursday 5/19 /22 Pyramid UB One of my old favorites which I have done dozens, probably over 100, times. This time I did up and down the pyramid. Sometimes I only do...

DAY 14 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Sunday 5/15/22 CTX Power Circuits My boot camp workout for the week was CTX Power Circuits (which was all lower body) with the upper body section from Step-N-Motion repeated twice. It was really a lot of fun and I find that I can almost follow Cathe's early...

DAY 11 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Thursday 5/12/22 Another major garden day, this time flowers out front of the house, and over 10,500 steps--more "lifestyle exercise". Had to get out super early because of unseasonably hot temps and sun. Lots of weeding, then planting perennials from a...

DAY 9 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Tuesday 5/10/22 A rest day on the workout calendar but I prepared and planted my vegetable garden which garnered me over 12,500 steps and wore me out! Let's call it "lifestyle exercise". DAY 10 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Wednesday 5/11/22 Pure Strength...

DAY 7 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Sunday 5/8/22 A rest day. DAY 8 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Monday 5/8/22 Pure Strength Back/Biceps (no Abs) I have a 12 hour shift at work which starts at 8am so I didn't have time to do the entire DVD but I got 30 minutes in which included the warmup...

DAY 6 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Saturday 5/7/22 CTX Kickboxing I'd never done this one before. My first exposure to Cathe kickboxing was from later series, probably Shock Cardio with its MMA stuff that I thought was too complicated for me. How wrong I was! I had no idea this would be so...

DAY 4 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Thursday 5/5/22 A rest day. I was going to do a yoga/stretch but the day got away from me. DAY 5 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Friday 5/6/22 Circuit Max My first Cathe VHS tape at least 20 years ago--what a nice trip down memory lane! I still couldn't keep...

DAY 3 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Wednesday 5/4/22 CTX Leaner Legs/Abs I think I've only done this one once before. I can't remember what it was that kept me from doing it again, but I sure did like it today. With my knee just barely 6 weeks past the meniscus injury, I had to modify a bit...

DAY 2 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Tuesday 5/3/22 Step N Motion Ah, young Cathe! She looked like a teenager in this one. I probably did this one last about 5 years ago maybe? I have a hard time keeping up with Cathe's choreography and, as much as I like step, I haven't done hers very much...

Doing them every other day and arranging other stuff in between is a great way to do a rotation too! That makes a lot of sense. And I do know the dread factor! Some of those super long ones I've done only once since they first came out because its really hard to make myself work out for much...

DAY 1 of Cathe Time Travel Rotation Monday 5/2/22 Cross Train Express Upper Body This was a lot more fun than the last time I did it, which was probably about 7 years ago. I remember being exhausted trying to match Cathe's weights and feeling like it was a major feat. Since then, I've gone...

THANKS! I'm off work today and have been going through the chrono list from the 2018 Cathe Compendium that's posted here in the forum so I can start the rotation on Monday. I still have Pyramid Lower Body to finish up my last plan and will do that in the morning, then begin anew. This is...

HOVER SQUATS! Satan laughs as I cry. But they're so good for you.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I've been a runner, duathlete and Spartan racer the past few years and just screwed up my medial meniscus last months. Having been sidelined from running, I pulled out old workout DVDs and found I could do lateral motion cardio and step painlessly if I wear my...
