    The LITE Series Will feature Two Bonus Extended Stretches

    This just gets better and better. Great additions for those of us who want a stretch but maybe not a whole yoga workout.

    All of the Main Workouts in the LITE Series Feature Low Impact Workouts

    All low impact? My new knee will be thrilled. Thank you Cathe!

    Video Clip of Cathe's Ready For Action Bootcamp Live Workout

    Sheesh, can't you do something without so much impact? Last week was awful with endless impact. Another jumping routine.

    Question for Cathletes: Which is the best streaming device for on demand?

    I use an HDMI cord as well with my MacBook Pro. No problems at all.

    Core work on Total Body Giant Sets #2

    Darn, I don't have Cardio Core Circuit. But thanks for the tips. I guess I will need to practice or just substitute something else when I do this Live workout again. I liked it but for this.

    Core work on Total Body Giant Sets #2

    Am I the only one who cannot get up on my knee in those crazy situps Cathe does to start the giant set for core? I felt like my legs were flying in crazy directions.

    Shingrix

    Valerie, my plan is set up by the college for retirees. It is a Hartford based supplement insurance to Medicare called Benistar. The college pays the monthly premiums for six months of the year and reimburses the Medicare premium as well. No deductibles. I paid nothing for my knee replacement.

    Shingrix

    Medicare doesn't cover this, but my health insurance did with a $40 copay. Medicare doesn't cover the TDaP vaccine either, but my insurance did with a $40 copay. I needed to get it before I meet my almost here new grandson.

    loved Fit Tower Light!

    Yes--the changes in height are few, and you don't need to do pushups on the tower.

    loved Fit Tower Light!

    Cathe, I am 71 with a total knee replacement last fall and have been doing your videos and DVDs since the 80s and your step workouts. I look for Ingrid for low impact modifications always. Thanks, I am in good shape.

    Shingrix

    It was only 24 hours but I was very achy. I really do not want shingles after seeing some of my friends dealing with lasting rashes so sensitive they could not wear even soft clothing.

    Shingrix

    I had the first of my two shots on Friday, and was really achy all over for 24 hours. Felt great today, though. Anyone else with experience on this vaccination?

    loved Fit Tower Light!

    I did this one today and really enjoyed the pacing and difficulty. I would characterize this one as intermediate. Cathe gives you some relief with intermittent water breaks and stretches. It was perfect. I will definitely be doing this one again. Oh, and I have the old tower, but there are only...

    Loving fit/split except for abs...

    I don't have wrist issues, but I just don't want to do this one again. Major dread will prevent me.

    Premixes for upper body?

    I did the 42 min. upper body premix on Muscle Max today and chose it because it moves slowly--Cathe seems more teacherly on this one. I will do this one for awhile, increasing some of my weights as I become more confident. Thanks for all the suggestions!

    Premixes for upper body?

    Thanks so much Lisa and Clare! I will pull those out for review.. I do remember the pyramid upper body and high reps being favorites.

    Premixes for upper body?

    I have all of Cathe's dvds, but before my knee replacement I never explored the premixes. I am now doing Leslie Sansone for my cardio in addition to PT after 8 weeks and alternating with some upper body weights, but I would really like to know if there are some Cathe upper body premixes I could...

    knee replacement?

    Hi Valerie and Lori-- I am now past the 5 week mark and doing some lunges with 5 lb. weights and little zig zag runs through cones and lots of squats on the balance board. Walking without a cane in 20 minute intervals. What really bothers me is just standing for more than 30 minutes at a time...

    knee replacement?

    Yesterday I started driving--yay! I really do need to get to my office for some endnote corrections on an article that I edited, screwing up the notes. My therapist has not recommended a foam roller, but he does want me to put my heel on a rolled up towel, leg elevated and foot flexed and press...

    knee replacement?

    I wish progress were that magically forward moving, Valerie. But the scar tissue contracts over night and I wake up stiff and in need of some serious stretching. Today at PT I did squats on a balance board (it tips back and forth unless you can hold it steady)while barely touching a barre and...
