So, I finished X-Train three weeks ago and LOVED every workout. Headed straight to SMS, finished the first week and the day before week 2, came down with cellulitis in my right arm. (I have lymphedema in that arm from breast cancer surgery). In the hospital for 2 days with IV antibiotics and now...

Cafelattee, can you tell me more about older women, heavy weight workouts and keeping weight on? I am working out 6 days a week, post-menopausal due to chemo, on breast cancer drugs which severely inhibit my estrogen production and really keeping on the weight. I am now doing STS and 4 days of...

Fascinated to find this here. I did #9 last week and will do #10 next week. I have had bad acne scarring for years and done every laser treatment out there. This has, by far, been the most effective treatment I've had. By far. We do the highest setting at 2.5 and with numbing ahead of time, it's...

Thanks to all of you for your advice. You are by far the most knowledgeable forum in which I've participated. :)

Thanks much! And thanks for getting my 56 year old, post stage 3c breast cancer body, in the best shape of my life. Feeling strong and healthy feeds my soul. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for this posting, huge help!

Is it better to go all the way to the floor doing push ups on your knees or only half way down in full/traditional form? I'm six weeks into XTrain, which I love, but this question bugs me each time push ups come into play. Thanks!

Thanks all! I will start with Xtrain as suggested. I'll let you all know how it goes!

So, I've been doing a variety of Cathe workouts, loving them, and have now invested in both SMS and XTRAIN. I'm sure I'm over simplifying, but assuming 90 day rotations, which one should I do first? My goals are both fat loss and muscle definition. Thanks!! Adele

No worries:)

You sound like a hell of a woman. I am beyond impressed with your knowledge. It's really very helpful. I have been doing the FIRM really since it first came out and much like you, I just stopped seeing any change. I do struggle with Cathe ' s step workouts. I feel like a total idiot trying to...

Sorry, I have no idea if I'm doing this the right way, but your reply was really helpful. Sometimes I feel like Cathe, or maybe the theories behind her workouts are so complex. That's why I don't know where to start. I too loved the original FIRM workouts. All I know is I'm more physically...

How long have you been doing Cathe?

Thanks so much for the advice. Just to clarify, does the STS set come with STS complimentary cardio as well? I'm not sure 3 days of cardio will be enough. I've been doing 5-6 days of cardio combined with weight training. I have to say, the HiiT workouts are amazing. They get my heart pumping...

Thanks! I've been doing FIRM workouts for years and increased them lately. I just bought RWH and love it. I feel like these are the workouts I've been looking for. I'm not up to Cathe level weights yet, but I'll get there. I know it's difficult to give advice given my medical history, but...

I will try and make this as brief as possible (you know its never good when someone starts with that:). I am five years out from a stage 3C breast cancer diagnosis, with complications including "rare and agressive", surgery induced lymphedema and clinical trial induced congestive heart failure...
