I've been doing a LIS rotation for a month (mostly like Cathe's LIS Nov. rotation, but modified to fit my schedule) and the most dramatic change I notice is that my functional fitness has improved noticeably, more so than at any other time in my life. I've been fit and working out regularly for...

Hi all, My question for those of you who try to eat clean, particularly in regards to cutting out sugar, how clean is clean? I'm not sure if I'm over-thinking the following dilemma, and if I need to just chill out. Here's the deal: I've been cleaning up my eating for the past six weeks...

Just want to share! I'm doing STS for the first time, I'm on week 3 and today I did Disk 8. I feel great! Today I could do all the sideways one-arm triceps push-ups for the first time, in fact it felt (almost) easy. Right now I feel like I could rule the world! I'm noticing strength...

Anyone else taking advantage of this week's 30% off sale on any/all Shock Cardio? I feel like I just got the best deal! The only Shock Cardio I already have is Hiit (love it!) and Travel Fit (use it in hotels, love it!) so I just bought all the remaining Shock Cardio. Between the 30% off...

This workout is INTENSE! At one point Cathe asks, "Are you ready for a blast?" and I thought I'd just done one! That was the moment I knew why it was called Intensity. :eek: Can't wait to try Lower Body Blast today.

I'm gearing up for STS in a month or two, and I've gradually been doing my 1RM testing. For upper body it's no problem, but for legs I'm worried that, if I do an exercise to the point that I can't do it with good form anymore, I'll tweak my back out! I've had lower back issues in the past, and...

I have been working out 5 to 6 times a week for five and a half months, and logging everything I eat. For the past three months, I have lost neither pounds nor inches, despite the fact that I have noticed significant strength, endurance, and cardiovascular gains. In other words, I am in better...

When I do deadlifts I don't really feel it in my hamstrings, and I'm wondering if I am doing something wrong. I feel it very strongly in my core, both lower back and abs, and also in my shoulders due to focusing on keeping them held in alignment (not curling forward). I keep my knees slightly...

Opinions and feedback about Crosstrain Xpress? Is it a must-have? Do the workouts feel dated? Do you reach for it still, or does it gather dust? I have almost all of Cathe's workouts (except STS and most Shock Cardios) so I'm not short of Cathe workouts, and I just pre-ordered the new...

I've been doing advanced 4-week rotations, both Cathe's and FitnessFreak's, for several months. The only recovery I've taken is when I'm on vacation or if I get sick, and neither of those happens very often. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to build a recovery week of light cardio only...

My 17 yo niece has started to work out to Cathe workouts. It was so funny tonight because she did Hiit 30/30 and at one point Cathe says, "Get down!" and my niece responded to Cathe, "YOU get down!" Then near the end of the workout my niece said, "This is evil! It's like The Ring!" (The Ring...

Circuit Blast is the featured download this week, and I'm thinking about getting it, but I'm not sure if it's too high impact for me. In general I modify higher impact moves; any opinions on whether I can get a good workout from this while modifying it? From the 7 minute preview clip, it looks...

I couldn't find the answer to this in the product info for 4DS, hoping someone who has it can answer this question for me. I'm wondering if one of the pre-mix options the 4 Day Split DVD's combines two cardio segments with a warm-up and cool down? In other words, on my cardio-only days...

Hi all, I'm new to Cathe's workouts -- what took me so long?! She's my new favorite! So far, I have Low Max, Low Impact Circuit, and Butts & Guts. I'm a little overwhelmed by the number of workouts Cathe has available, and I'm hoping for some recommendations from those of you knowledgeable...
