    Cathe Friedrich's LITE PHA 2 Workout

    I did this one for the first time this morning, and matched Cathe's weights (a rarity) except for the body weight on push-ups (on my knees, not toes). But those elevated push dips off the step - OMG, those were rough. I took longer to finish those, and know I'm going to be sore. This is such a...

    Total Body Trisets

    It's actually the only workout I do as voice only, though I find the Slow and Heavy music grates on the ears during rest periods. The lower body trisets is a big favorite for short workouts anyway.

    Best workouts for working out anger/stress/sadness

    My beloved bunny passed on yesterday. She was so affectionate, and soft, and special. I really couldn't do anything but cry - forgot to eat, too. But I did extreme mix PRS1 recently, and the finished product takes complete attention. I added a S&S mix for next month, and made a rotation for the...

    Best workouts for working out anger/stress/sadness

    I'll go ahead and order the Strong and Sweaty. Really familiar workouts let one's mind wander too much (though the complex choreography of PRS1 was good.) I should try the yoga or at least yoga breathing, since I'm burning a crazy amount of calories without eating much. But at least my bunny...

    Best workouts for working out anger/stress/sadness

    Thanks for the sympathy and suggestions! I have been trying Cathe workouts in particular because she's great, and the familiar faces make me more comfortable. But the infrequently done and/or challenging workouts are really best, as Icelover said. Doing To The Max and PRS1 yesterday took energy...

    Newbie need help!

    Keep at it. For me (late 40s) changes were slow when I started exercising beyond long walks. I did pay some attention to calories, but didn't worry about macros, since my diet is basically healthy. Since I wasn't overweight, I had gradual recomposition - lower % body fat, and greater endurance...

    Would you consider selling Cathe Live individual workouts as downloads??

    I'd love to get downloads, too. They wouldn't have to be chaptered, or anything beyond the stuff you get on YouTube, but streaming is not how I like to exercise.

    To The Max

    I just did this video, in spite of not being an "advanced" exerciser right now. I thought I would have to modify like crazy, but just a lowering the step when needed was enough (plus a little lighter weights) I love that the intense sections are way more fun and creative than a mass of air...

    Best workouts for working out anger/stress/sadness

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely get a heavy bag for the basement - hadn't thought of that. I did BodyMax 2 cardio, and then the Anger and Frustration video Trixoo linked to. The elbow strikes on the cushion second time around winded me, and I liked the punching at the end. I lost...

    Best workouts for working out anger/stress/sadness

    Hi, I've been working out with Cathe videos a long time, and they've always made me feel better (if sorer). I'm really over the top now, with the sudden death of my brother due to another driver, and have been trying to work out some of the anger/denial feelings with exercise. It's always...

    Add Ons

    I look forward to any series Cathe comes up with, but I would love to see an extended stretch option for cardio workouts and an abs section that uses the stability ball. I feel so nice and flexible after cardio, so I sometimes do the Stretch Max videos after, but I'd really love a new extended...

    After Low Impact Series

    Good choice! I did a couple months ICE after not doing workout DVDs for a while, and it was perfect for getting back to Cathe. I did end up doing Athletic Training instead of ICE Metabolic Total Body, cause it's way more fun and easier, but the rest was really great (after getting the weights...

    Need to vent a little.....

    I can really relate to all this. I've been with my husband 20 years, and he has so many wonderful qualities. But eating healthily and exercising aren't priorities to him, even though he has high blood pressure and worsening back issues. He stopped going to physical therapy and won't do the...

    Rockim sockim

    I did this one for the first time today, and it was definitely doable for intermediate level, or even advanced beginner with the modifications. But it's got a lot of upper body work (punching combos), so an advanced exerciser with more upper body muscle would also get a lot out of it, and burn...

    What Time Of Day Do You Like To Start Your Workout?

    I wish I had a regular exercise time, but things get in the way of that. Since I'm an insomniac and my husband works nights, I do some very late night workouts, figuring I'm going to be too tired the next day. My ideal workout times are morning cardio and afternoon resistance workouts, but that...

    Step Moves.....I have a sickness

    Today's Daily Deal! And I needed to pre-order the FitTower dvds anyway. I also love the cardio blast premix from Body Max 2 and the kicking and punching combo premix from KPC (not step, but still..). The 4DS double step premix is fun, too, with the LIS and HIS combined. Thanks for the...

    Chaptered High Weight/Low Rep Workouts?

    X Train Burn Sets is pretty low rep and chaptered. It has 10 reps 2x, then to failure, but you can alway up the weight and do a couple fewer reps. I generally don't get to 10 on my failure set. Burn Sets is geared to strength more than most of Cathe's workouts.

    RWH/LI rotation turbobarre substitution

    I did this rotation last month, starting by giving Turbobarre another chance. It still doesn't work for me, but I think I can use some of the chapters as leg work add ons (like the band work). I'd downloaded XTrain Legs right before starting this rotation (basically to get the rear delts bonus)...

    Workout Cards for RwH?

    Thanks, that's my rabbit Tampopo being territorial about "her" step. She thought it was a great cave.:D

    Workout Cards for RwH?

    Any update on when the cards will be available on WM? I printed out the relevant pages from the user's guide, but it would be nice to have a more compact form that I'm not so likely to lose. Thanks
