Late reply.....I live near the Herr's snack factory, which hosts a holiday lights display every year, so DH and I spent New Year's Eve driving through it. Then, after enjoying some wine at our house, we celebrated the New Year in my family's tradition....at the stroke of midnight we opened both...

I have read that the new strain of Covid is more infectious, yet much less serious and deadly and virulent than the original. As for the Covid vaccine.....the last few times I received the regular flu vaccine, I had horrible reactions to it that my doctors couldn't explain. So why bother...

Hi, str8shooter, I”m sorry I didn’t see your post sooner! I did not do an undulating rotation, it was M1, M2, M3, M2, M1. In addition, I didn’t clarify this before but I repeated each week twice. So the first week of M1 I initiated all moves on the right side, then repeated M1 initiating all...

Luckily, I had my hair color done the week before we were all placed under house arrest, but I too am worried about having to color my own hair (and feeling guilty and spoiled for worrying about that!) I not only cover the grays, but have highlights too. Eeeek! My suggestion would be to look...

Another vote for BlendTec. Admittedly, I only use it for my morning smoothies with almond milk, protein powder and fruit. Quick, efficient, and easy to clean.

I had to laugh when I saw this thread because I was creating a new rotation for myself today, and I needed a lower body workout to balance out Ramped Up Upper Body. I think Lower Body Blast would be a good choice. I also like the premix in the Kick Punch and Crunch / Legs and Glutes DVD that...

Or... Fire It Up Friday (or Firm It Up Friday, or Fierce Upper Body Mix Friday) Sucking Wind Saturday (:p), or Scorching Calories Saturday Great idea, Nanbo! I had fun with this.

How about.... Fry Your Upper Body Friday Sweat It Out Saturday with Hiit

I find that doing longer rotations like STS is more effective for me. If I do a 1 month Cathe rotation, I will extend it to 2 or 3 months, because it takes that long for me to see sustained cardio/strength benefits.

Ok, so I've done both the standard STS rotation and the pyramid. With the standard STS rotation I got results, but with the pyramid I got RESULTS!! Difficult to describe, but I think with the standard rotation it was easy to lose muscle strength and definition if I chose to move on to a...

Oh my, this post makes me feel so old o_Oo_O because I can no longer do what I once did. Back in the day, my all time favorite step DVD was Rhythmic Step. Still love it, and wish I could do credit to it. Other favorites that I still occasionally do are IMAX 2, and High Intensity Step and Low...

I agree with desertambrosia, STS is the way to go, especially Mesocycle 2. Whenever I feel that I've lost muscle strength/tone/definition, I do an 8 week round of STS Meso 2 in which I repeat each week twice. Works every time with firmer, rounded, more visible muscles.

For my rest week, my main goal is to avoid any kind of strength training so my muscles can rest. I do stretching, yoga, pilates, walking on the treadmill, light elliptical training, or any of my cardio DVDs that are at the beginner or intermediate level.

Congratulations on your progress, That is fantastic! So many Cathletes have given you great advice. My advice would be....have you considered trying STS? With that program, I still can't lift what Cathe does, yet I feel so accomplished because she instructs how much weight I should begin with...

I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to add my input. I've been doing a SANDS rotation and including B&G once a week. I would have to say that B&G has definitely not added any size or bulk to my legs or butt. In fact, I think I am losing some of the hard earned muscle I gained when I...

Yes, yes, yes, I completely agree. As I've said in another post, it is easier to modify an advanced workout (for me) than it is to ramp up a beginner workout, so please bring on the advanced stuff!

I agree that Cathe is the wizard of "advanced" workouts!!! Honestly, after ICE, Fit Split, and LITE, I think we are due for a more advanced, comprehensive series. My ultimate dream would be STS 2 with shock cardio, or any type of Hiit/Liit cardio. Just saying, it is easier (for me) to modify...

My suggestions would be: Day 1: Short upper body strength combined with short cardio segment (from Cardio Slam, kick box, etc.) Day 2: Depends on your goals. If more weight loss, then 60 minute steady state cardio such as step workout, kickboxing or cycling. If more strength training, than...

Just wanted to add....I agree that high impact is nothing to fear for the joints. I tore my ACL a few years ago, and my physical therapists had no mercy on me. I was doing high impact training and plyometrics as part of my recovery. They told me that the latest research shows that high impact...

You are wondering if 2018 Cathletes can still keep up with her older videos? I am in my late forties. For weight training, yes I can still keep up. For cardio, no I can not! I find that with the shorter, intense cardio (Hiit and Liit) I am okay, but with the longer cardio (IMAX, kick box...
