I agree, it would have been helpful to have workout suggestions for those of us who have "combined" body types. I took the test, and my results were 50/50 between mesomorph and endomorph. I guess I will "combine" the suggestions for each body type and try to tweak my workouts accordingly...

Good evening! Deb - Uh-oh! I hope you aren't coming down with anything serious. Take care of yourself! Belinda - That is awesome that Brawler is enjoying his cart. I wish I had known the carts were available when my mini dachshund (Penny) could have used it. She had severe arthritis, but...

Hello, ladies. Wow, I am very bad at checking in on a regular basis. :oops: Kristin - Sorry to hear that your principal is such a miserable person. Too bad all 100 of you can't simply boycott the meeting. Well, whatever happens, I'm sure the secretary knows you would rather be paying your...

Hello, ladies Deb and Kristin - No leftover wings here, thank goodness, and I sent the rest of my famous Superbowl dip with my husband, so his coworkers can finish it instead of us! :D Kristin - Yes, based on the 30 day calendar, it looks like the Core de Force workouts will definitely be...

Hello, Night Owls (if there are any besides me!) Belinda - Happy to hear your bowels are healthy, but horrified that you had such a painful experience. Can't blame you for not wanting to go through that again! I started my Core de Force rotation! Today, I did MMA Speed, a 25 minute cardio...

Hi. Deb. Funny that we posted at the same time! Will definitely let you all know what Core de Force is like. I should be receiving it in time to start my rotation on Sunday.

You're welcome. :) I love the ICE series, too, and I think Metabolic Total Body is my favorite. It has been my go-to when I want some weight training with some huffing and puffing!

Hi, ladies!! (waving madly to everyone after being MIA longer than intended :oops: ) Belinda - Good luck with your colonoscopy, hoping all goes well. Prep is definitely the worst! Debbie - So great that you are signed up for the RT! One of my goals is to feel confident enough to sign up for...

Other metabolic videos include To The Max, Crossfire, and Metabolic Total Body (from the ICE series).

Well, I'm obviously not Cathe, but I thought I'd respond anyway. :) No idea how many men buy Cathe's dvds, but... Several men are featured in the STS series. Also, "Greg" is in Burn Sets from the Xtrain series. "Al" is in several of the Ripped With Hiit series. In the older videos, there...

Hello, late check in for me. Today, I did SANDS Bootcamp. For some reason, my lower back kept cramping during this workout, to the point that I had to pause the dvd several times to stretch. Not sure what that was about! Days like this make me feel old and wimpy. Oh well, tomorrow is a...

Good evening! Debbie - Glad to hear you are healing well and that you were given the green light to begin lifting again in a couple of weeks. (Insert imaginary thumbs-up emoticon here!) Belinda - That is excellent news about your nephew! Very happy to hear that he is okay. Yesterday was my...

When I tore my right ACL a couple years ago, my orthopedist had a basic rule of thumb for my recovery: if an activity could cause significant pain, then I shouldn't be doing it yet. I know it's not what you want to hear, but if most lower body exercises are causing significant pain, it might be...

Hello! Belinda - I am so sorry to hear about your nephew. I will certainly keep him in my thoughts and prayers. On a lighter note, it sounds like your wine/cheese/chocolate tasting was an amazing experience in spite of having the wrong date. Fun!! Kristin - I love the idea of adding a...

Such a tough question, because I love the variety Cathe offers in all of her series! For challenging strength and cardio, my top choices are Ripped with Hiit and Xtrain, closely followed now by Strong and Sweaty. If I want to take it down a notch (and I mean barely a notch!), I love the Low...

Hi, everyone. :) Deb - Glad to hear that your core felt okay after your treadmill workout. That's great! Belinda - Wine and chocolate, yum! Hope you had a great time. Decided to change my workout plan. I'm going to do a 5 day SANDS rotation for 4 to 6 weeks, like this: Sunday: Total Body...

Kristin - Oh, no! Seems like everyone I know has the sinus thing going on these past couple of weeks. Hope you only have a mild case, and that you start feeling better soon. Yikes, I really started losing steam with my workout today. I did Rockem Sockem, but I struggled, especially with my...

Today's workout was To the Mat Legs and Glutes. I have never done a complete mat workout, and it was much tougher than I thought it would be. And, I am much more sore than I thought I would be!

Thank you for the warm welcome! Deb - I'm so sorry to hear you had to have a hernia repair. Ouch! Kristin - No, I've never been to a Cathe RT, though I imagine it must be an amazing experience. Maybe some day... I started the Strong and Sweaty / ICE rotation this week. I did ICE bootcamp...

Personally, I would work the shoulders one at a time instead of together. So, if I was doing a lateral raise, I would do my stronger arm first with the weight it is accustomed to, then rewind the DVD and repeat the segment, using a lighter weight for my weaker side. It's not ideal, and would...
