I agree. I have to say the lower body work is much more balanced and well rounded. You get both explosive and endurance training in the same workout which helps vastly in all areas of life. I think it will help me to improve my 5k time without additional training methods and additional practice...

Mine: * Low Impact Series * "Devil Series" (hate that name bc Cathe, I think, looks awesome on the covers) HR, STS TB, & LBB * XTrain- haven't tried it yet but on preview, it looks amazing! ** Hardcore used to be my ALL TIME FAVORITE from any instructor. I never thought I could replace...

I completely agree with you!!! I didn't get the chance to do Low Impact Series when it was first released per Dr's orders so I am now just getting into the workouts. I actually made the STUPID choice of selling my preorder set because I wasn't sure I'd have the ability to use them; thinking...

I think a lot of people are in your boat which isn't at all uncommon. I have FMS which makes things more complicated on my end. Before I had this disorder I too, was very much the same. But all that is thrown out the window as right now... I have the flu. HUbby brought the bug home to me and...

On average, 3 rest days. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. I never took rest days until a couple of years ago. Now that I take them, and several per week, my energy has jumped through the roof, I have less fibro flares, less colds, less injuries, and my moods are much more stable...

I love the recent TB workouts and I love using the gliding discs in High reps and the bands in Travel Fit. I'm just hoping for more TB workouts in the future!

I've really enjoyed her recent TB workouts! I too and hoping she dives more into those bc they are great and you do get some nice premix options from them too.

This is probably the best advice to adhere to at this point. I haven't started XTrain personally, but instead have been doing Trisets mostly since the beginning of the month. I jumped 4 pounds in less than a week. I ditched my scale. I tried on some jeans and if it were anything other than...

depending on the resource if you are also doing other forms of exercise (including strength) 2-4 days per week for 20-60 minutes. 2 Days allows for heart, joint, and mental health regardless of duration and 3-4 days for the average person allows for weight loss benefits. Again, these are...

This is what I have been doing- this week was the except as I did UB from BM2 and Lower Body Premix from Trisets (for mental variety). Other than that I've been sticking to Trisets exclusively since the beginning of this month. My goal is to do 2 TB workouts per week. Since Cathe has so many...

Hi! I would love to see the following: * Impact modifactions for some of high impact step patterns in Intensity, Athletic Step, and Step Moves. I tried to modify back when I first got them but my mods left me off beat and on the wrong foot. * Some great streches for those of us with...

You are welcome! :D

I use a stability ball when I do these. If I want the same benefits without the ball or step, do bridges with your head on the floor.

* Moderation with everything! * Sleep trumps exercise! * I made low to moderate cardio (mostly walking) my mainstay in aerobics. I used to be gung-ho on vogerous cardio and it did not agree with my body and caused a lot of issues including hormonal. * I ditched the perfection-factor as well...

It's different for everyone. For me doing moderate to vigerous cardio causes extreme hunger. However doing weight workouts my hunger level goes down. What tends to happen and recent reseach has shown (Cathe included it one of her recent blogs) is that when you burn larger amounts of calories...

This workout used to be my favorite strength DVD and one of my favorite step routines a few years back. I have not done anything with this DVD since late 2009 and dug it back out last night. I did the UB Strength and Core and instantly remembered why I loved it so much! It moves quickly and gets...

I haven't started my XTrain workouts yet but with my other Cathe workouts I always have and always will stick to a moderate to moderate-heavy range. I don't follow that rep max rules and that is one of the reasons why. Secondly my poor joints can't handle the repitition with that kind of weight...

I agree conpletely with this! You start where you are at with what you are able to do and progress slowly from there. It doesn't matter really how much or how little you do compared to the next person, all that matters is what is right and best for YOU! Eventually with time, patience, and...

I am in a similar situation myself. What I've been doing is starting with premixes and/or skipping chapters. I haven't started XTrain yet but with workouts like Trisets or Lower Body Blast, I pick a shorter premix and skip through certain exercises that I know are going to be too much on my...

I no longer own either one of these but when I did I enjoyed B & G much more than L & G. That being said, I much prefer and LOVE the leg work in High Reps and Lower Body Blast. I have yet to try the new Legs workout from XTrain, but it IMO, looks more enjoyable than B & G. I just never...
