    Mastering choreo in step w/o

    I'm quite fit and enjoy high-step hiit, other step routines without much choregraphy, just straighforward hard and fast moves. But when it comes to combos, mambos, over-face-it-overs.. Well, I feel lost and confused. How do I master them and stop feeling discouraged? What to do, if I fail to...

    On Demand&Live

    I have just signed in to the sevice and want to say THANK YOU, CATHE! Cathe Live really added variety and inspiration! On Demand is a good way to have my Cathe workouts on me anywhere and anytime (as long as there is Internet connection). Keep on!

    Need help to recover

    without losing previous progress. Hi, Cathe, I have been exercising for the past 4 years and achieved, more or less, the shape I wanted. But recently I faced a serious life challenge: a person dear to me was gravely ill. With me, stresses cause a weight loss and a sort of an eating disorder...

    X10 review

    Doable. Pushes you to the very limit, but doable in its entirety (77min, yeah?). I loved the workout, though, of course, I WAS soaking sweat already at the first segment. :eek: Again, for me it is another example that a top-intensity routine can be created without that dreadful dread factor...

    Adding sets/reps

    Hello Cathe, If/when you have a minute, could you clarify whether adding sets/reps to your programs is a viable option to increase challenge/shock the system? (I am not afraid of increasing weights, but trying something different seems good too) And, (guess I am overstaying my welcome at this...

    Meso 3

    Hi Cathe, I am about to start Meso 3 of STS, and I wonder what it is supposed to do to my body in terms of look. I will get stronger, that is clear, and, as a female, I do not expect to get really "bulky", but will I/can I get leaner/smaller? (do not need to lose weight, but there is always...

    Mixed series

    with about 6-months' rotation combining heavy weights and bodyweight workouts (esp. barre and mat work) + HIIT for "cardio". I'd appreciate a couple of bonus total body workouts to the series as well. Though, STS is a masterpiece and we can use it again and again by building our own rotations...

    FlexTrain

    Absolutely loved this workout! I'm on my active recovery week after STS meso 1 (doing the 6-month rotation). And, as my goal is body enhancement, not weight loss, I was trying to stick to low-impact activities like walking/nordic walking, light cycling, barre-style workouts...

    Business trips and STS

    Hi, Cathe (and the Cathe Nation), What would be your recommendation on combining STS schedule and business trips (from 4 to 10 days)? Of course, one can always run and eat right everywhere, or do a bodyweight workout in a hotel room, but STS requires equipment which is not available...

    Another SH fan

    I would love to see a new series of strength w/o, SH-style with a total body workout of at least 60-70 minutes (3-4 sets per exercise, advanced level). 4-5 day split would be great too).

    Switching back to lighter weights?

    Hi, Cathe, I have been lifting weights for a couple of years now and like it immensely. I like your routines very much. I see that the approach varies and sometimes you lift up to 50lbs (for legs), sometimes stick to as little as 8lbs (for the very legs). I see that in the first case the...

    Many thanks and suggestions)

    Hi Cathe, I just wanted to say how much I LOVE all your videos. Well, cannot say I've tried them ALL, but many). And, you ARE an instructor to never let down. I get what I expect (and more, in the best sense of the word). Through your work you go on inspiring people to get better in many...

    Body Max (both)

    Hi Cathe, In the Max Intensity Strength video you do specify that it is not an aerobic w/o (btw, one of my favs for strength), and what about Body Max (both 1 and 2)? Where do they fall? Cardio? Strength? Hiit? HIT? Circuit? Cannot seem to place them...:):o

    Build while burning

    or, at least, not gaining fat. Is it at all possible, this is the question. I've been told that the answer is "no", but I would greatly appreciate Cathe's opinion, as (some of) her workouts seem to be aimed at doing the trick if properly rotated (am I right?). Is there any recommended rotation...
