Thank you for the suggestions, everyone! I do have a doctor's appointment scheduled for mid-March, and I'll bring this up with her. Outside of medical testing, does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm wondering whether it has to do with my body needing more recovery than it used to...

Good question! How would I know? What does a full thyroid work-up entail?

I'm a healthy 54 year old menopausal woman (on HRT), and I'm sooooo sleepy!! I sleep 7.5 - 8 hours every night, I have no sleep issues (no apnea, no snoring, no snoring partner, no insomnia), and yet every single morning I have to drag my butt out of bed. Even with my morning coffee, my head...

Amazing, Lannette! Wonderful to hear!

I don't know whether you specifically need resistance training for your lower body, given everything you're doing. However, if you feel you need to be doing it, perhaps you can just sprinkle it in in small batches, instead of a full-on "leg day." All of Cathe's workouts have express versions - I...

I'm half-way through this rotation, and thrilled to say it's making a difference! I feel stronger (I'm lifting heavier, too), I have improved mobility, and my core/hips/glutes are feeling overall better - more balanced and alive, if that makes any sense. I haven't lost weight, but I'm feeling...

Woweee! My January now looks so pretty!! Thank you so much for getting the LMR icons uploaded into the Workout Manager! It may be a small thing, but it's very motivating to look at the calendar and see how much sweat I've put into each month.

I completely agree! Remember when the Hardcore Series was released and there were so many complaints about the music being too quiet relative to Cathe’s voice? Music can add so much to a workout, and HC series has some of the best.

Bumping up this question, as it's nearly the end of January and the icons are not yet appearing in the calendar (for me, at least). Is there something I need to be doing, or are we still waiting for an update to the calendar?

I love choreographed cardio, especially when it syncs so well with music. The fun factor is so much higher for me, than with repetitive drill cardio. I like the way it absorbs my full attention, and when you're in the flow of it you feel like you're on a ride. Her finished products on her step...

I finished the third week of the LMR+LIC rotation today, with Functional Lower Body. I like this one so much! It feels so effective without an endless number of reps and pulses to get the job done. My heart rate gets up there, I sweat, and I feel good when I'm finished. Today Cathe shared a 2...

High five! #StrengthInNumbers

I was thrilled to see this in the email - thank you for posting it here! I’m a week away from finishing the 1 month LMR + Low Impact Cardio rotation in the LMR user guide, then I’ll dive into this one. Anyone else? I like my intermediate steady state cardio, so I’ll add in 30 minutes of cardio...

Functional Upper Body was on the rotation for today. I went higher again in weight, over the last time, and I'm reaching the point where I feel like I'm putting in an effective level of effort. My upper body feels a bit fatigued, as well. I think this is where I should be working, with these...

Today was a rest day on the LMR+LIC rotation, so I decided to give LMR Mobility Fusion a go. I love how all of Cathe's mobility routines make me feel, and was disappointed to see that Mobility Fusion isn't anywhere in this rotation. My goodness, that's a fantastic routine! For me it felt like 40...

Functional Core Fusion - this is the core workout for me! Fantastic! I'm surprised at how long she keeps us in the reverse plank with our feet on the ball, but I guess that's an area I need to work on.

Well, that was fun! Today on the rotation was a 30 minute low impact HIIT, and not what I wanted to do at all. So I used the workout blender and made up a cardio that wound up being a blast: Cardio Party (CP) warm up, through to the end of Blast #1; Step Boss Intermediate Step (SBIS) combo 1...

Today on the rotation was LMR Functional Total Body. I went at least one increment higher than Cathe in all of the weighted exercises and feel like I found the right spot for me. My heart rate was up for the whole routine, I had to concentrate to maintain good form, and I'm quite sweaty. But I...

Yes, exactly! I'm really appreciating all of the variety in this series. My body is enjoying all of it!

Today was the first time I tried Functional Pilates Fusion, and I loved it! I haven't explored pilates very much, so I wasn't sure what to expect from this routine. I will absolutely do this one again!
