    Same - I usually preview workouts before I start them, but I'm a bit overwhelmed thinking of previewing 36 workouts. Definitely not a task to complete in an afternoon, for sure. Think I'll have to just try previewing the three workouts for the upcoming week on the weekend. More manageable that way.

    How Long Was Your Wait for Cathe’s Clearance Gear to Be Shipped?

    Received my last order in full yesterday.

    Wised up from my experience with not actually reviewing the workout first so I popped in Discs 1 & 2 last night to better acquaint myself with what was coming up - and glad I did because I had some of my data entered incorrectly in my spreadsheet for Disc 2. Spared myself some frustration there.

    Officially started today - I decided to start with the Legs (Disc 3) workout first while I'm fresh in my week so I don't risk skipping it later in the week - though since all these workouts are brand new to me, I really don't see myself skipping any of them because I'm excited for new (to me)...

    Elevated HIIT Fusion

    Finally gave this workout a try - this is the last of the LMRE series workouts that I've done. While I felt her usual oomph was kind of missing from the other cardio titles, this one was definitely HiiT, but you get little mini breaks between cardio sets with some standing weighted core work...

    How Long Was Your Wait for Cathe’s Clearance Gear to Be Shipped?

    Got a notice my latest order is being shipped and should arrive Tuesday. Fingers crossed. Didn't get a refund notice.

    :-)

    Coming back to mention that I went ahead and washed the mat with some mild soap and water and that seemed to do the trick - wasn't quite so... oily feeling and my hands weren't getting all sweaty despite that it's a warm day today. Now... I didn't wash the backside of the mat... hopefully that...

    I'm in the latter category of people you describe when it comes down to tracking. I've spent too much of my earlier years being abusive to myself by measuring and weighing to try to fit into our society's toxic picture of what women are "supposed" to look like. I've fortunately moved on from...

    I'm definitely curious to finally experience the series and see what I think of it as a whole (and what my body thinks of it!). I start Monday. This is definitely the most prep I've done for any series because, frankly, none of her other series requires much prep, aside from making sure you've...

    I'm almost through all my 1RM testing. Whew. I've got a lot that have yet to finish - mostly leg exercises - in part because I saw some comments from others who've done the series saying that their legs really bulked up in a way they didn't care for. So, I'm going to take legs a little less...

    DVD Sale Page Request

    I'm so glad you mentioned this - I link over to the PDP (product description page) for all DVDs from my calendar so I can preview the workout when it's coming up. Kind of psychs me up for the workout, and refreshes me when I haven't done a particular workout for a while. Also fun to know I'm...

    Elevated Barre Boot Camp

    Finally got around to doing this workout yesterday. I'll preface this by saying I'm someone who doesn't care for barre work in general. Part of it is probably because I need to work on my muscle endurance. Yes, my legs were burning during the barre exercises - most especially the set of plies...

    I read this and was crossing my fingers for no more fitness gadgets. Then I saw the idea she may start utilizing Amazon Affiliate links and my heart sank. o_O Pleeeaaassseee no more gadgets. My living room is about maxed out on space.

    I didn't see any instructions with the mat. Good suggestion though maybe hitting it with a mild cleanser.

    PHA Cardio Fusion

    Second time through this workout - still does a good job keeping the heart rate up. I am finding, however, that I don't care for the fast-paced deadlifts into racked squats. After a few of them my form starts to suffer on the deadlifts and I start feeling it in the wrong way in my back. Will...

    :-)

    Yes, I ordered the mat the day she made the announcement. I'm actually a bit on the fence with it - something about its finish makes my hands sweaty versus other yoga mats that I have. I'm enjoying it for my lower body days, though - my carpet doesn't offer the best traction, and I work out...

    Kickbox Fusion review

    Yeah, this one has some kicking in it, but it's not at the intensity of say, Kick Max or Kick, Punch & Crunch. Most of it stays grounded, for instance. Forgot to mention I used boxing gloves for the first time with this workout, too - got a pair from the clearance sale. Not sure how much I'm...

    Anyone Looking to Sell Their Cathe Fit Tower?

    Got the Exer Tower yesterday. Was super easy to set up and it arrived just before I was about to do the LMRE Balance Fusion workout, so the timing was great. Got to use it a bit with that workout. Happy with how simple it was to set up. Glad it breaks down, too, although even broken down it...

    So an update from my message to CS about the User's Guide not being included. They told me that I was supposed to order them as a "bundle". Well, there wasn't a "bundle" option on the site when I ordered all three Mesocycles. I sat on their email for a while, weighing if I wanted to put any...
