    Perfect 30 HIIT - low and high: what a blast!

    I did them both yesterday.... Can't say enough how much fun I had and how I did enjoy the new moves!

    Met value attribution

    I don't know if it's the right place ( maybe Ask Cathe was a better choice)... But each and every time I do wait for a new series to be in my hands, this question comes to my mind : I would really like to know how you can attribute the MET value for a workout, which has become an important...

    RWH rotations: normal vs scrambled

    Just a question about the two rotations : is there any difference in terms of results? I know we are considering a short amount of time (one month) but the work load seems to be greater in the scrambled one (less days off). Or do they focus on slightly different benefits? More on the muscle gain...

    warm-up and stretching

    Hi Cathe! I was reading an interesting article about the things a good warm up should include (more aggressive if the workout is going to be high impact and so on) but it stated that there were few concerns about the type of stretching to follow after the warm-up itself: ballistic or dynamic...

    X-TRAIN Supercuts review

    I will not say that much: THAT'S. THE.WAY.TO.WORK. !!!!! I know I have been away from the forum for long, but I still was looking forward this new series and this workout in paticular. It is amazing, the concept of metabolic training that I started to love thanks to Afterburn or Cardio...

    Met value for the Xtrain workouts?

    Hi Cathe and crew, Is it too soon to have an idea of how hard will the new workouts be, speaking in terms of MET? Or, could you give us a list of them, ordered by their difficulty, as given for Sts shock cardio series, or LIS series? Can' wait to have more and more details about this new...

    Rotation useful to increase running speed/endurance

    Hi fellow Cathletes! I was wondering if there was a rotation, among the old ones, that could increase running speed and endurance. I resumed running on last Sunday, after 3 years, and did 5K in 33 mins. Yesterday evening went down to 31. I was so thrilled with the results (I stopped running...

    Mind my question, but this is something I really want to know: will there be a user's guide, like with STS,so that we would be able to get the maximum benefit?

    Cross-Fire/To the max Tabata premixes question

    Hi Cathe and crew, I have just one question about the intensity of the tabata premixes. I may be wrong, but I remember reading about how Cathe explained that it was so difficult to obtain the right level of intensity in a dvd workout to name it real tabata, now I've seen how short are some of...

    Sliding discs caps- washing advice

    Have you ever tried to wash them? If so, how? I usually clean them with my Hoover (please don't lough, I'm so scared about ruining them that I just keep them clean sucking up all the dust they gather from the floor) but now I feel they do need to be cleaned properly. Could it be safe to clean...
