    Easy workout plan for ageing

    Jessica has free Youtube videos, but I haven't done them, though, because I only have a laptop and don't know how to make Youtube stuff show up on the bigger screen of our TV. I have quite a few of her DVDs though. Also, on Amazon, if you have a particular DVD you're interested in, you can...

    Easy workout plan for ageing

    Layne, I'm 53 and obviously not as young as I used to be. lol I do 2 strength training days and 3 cardio days (because cardio helps me burn off excess energy and tension). My mind still needed 3 cardio days, but my body wasn't handling it well. In addition, I'm underweight, so the cardio seemed...

    Replacement DVD For Active Recovery + Total Body Stretch Update

    Thank you! I just received mine yesterday, and the timing was perfect. I found it in my mailbox when arrived home from playing pickleball. I'm new to the sport (turns out there are no pickles involved:-), and I'm pretty sore by the time I get out of my car. I did both workouts and felt so much...

    Replacement DVD For Active Recovery + Total Body Stretch Update

    Thank you! I have avoided using that DVD, because I did find it distracting to have it pause like that on this type of workout. Thank you so much. I'll be checking my mailbox regularly. :) So excited!

    ;)

    I remember reading your post questions about the mat. I own the mat, but it cost enough that I don't want my dogs running all over it. So, I haven't yet used it. That's why I didn't reply. I intend to use it at the new house we're going to be moving into (eventually), because I'll have a...

    How to remove Cathe new yoga mat smell?

    I'm very sensitive to smells, but I didn't have any issues with Cathe's 6' mat or the one for the step. I ordered mine about 2 years ago though, so maybe something has changed in the manufacturing or the way they are stored? I hope you find a solution. A lot of odors cause me to have headaches...

    I didn't know that could happen! My son had one for his physical therapy for over twenty years. Then, one day, when I was helping him with some of his exercises, he just kept getting shorter - slowly, but surely. I thought I was going crazy, until I realized the ball must have developed a leak...

    Comparing STS 1.0 & 2.0

    I'm really petite and physically active. I wasn't accustomed to developing fat, which is what I thought was causing my thighs to lose definition. I talked to my doctor about menopause and some of my symptoms. While I was in her office, I asked if there was anything I could do to combat fat. She...

    Kellyro77, yes! That's the quote I was trying to remember. It makes me laugh every time. With my luck, I'll actually have a problem with my ball at some point in time. I've smacked myself a couple of times with bands/tubing that broke while working out. If anybody's ball is going to pop, It'll...

    "That said, I'm someone who likes the polished finished products of Cathe's workouts." Kellyro77, I am too. There are many live workouts as well as YouTube ones if someone wants that. For purchasing, though, I have to have a polished and professional product. I don't mind going to the gym and...

    I might be getting what your talking about, but not sure. Do you mean like somehow showing one of the cast's progress in one or more areas (like weight loss, muscle tone, increased strength by ability to increase weights, or that type of thing)? I like the idea, as it would be motivational, but...

    Upper body recommendation (during lower body injury)

    A few years ago, I had an ankle injury that I had to work around. I found an old thread where people were giving suggestions of kickboxing in reply to someone else that was only able to work their upper body. I can't seem to find it now though. Anyways, I did upper body premixes from some of...

    Splitting workouts on a Rotation

    It's a great strategy for push-ups. I suggested it to my husband (back when he was first starting out with getting back in shape). He was so frustrated, and being a man, he'd rather stop working out than go to his knees. I guess his old gym teachers (when he was in school) used to refer to them...

    Newbie Ab Question and Thanks

    We do this detox (I think copying and pasting this link will work). https://onnalomd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Marhhyman10daydetoxdie_03-03-2018_19.pdf I try to cut down on my junk food intake a few days before I go on the detox, because if I don't, I get a splitting headache around day 3...

    Newbie Ab Question and Thanks

    FlemingCol56, yes, I've been there! I am actually underweight and have been my entire life, but when I hit a certain age, I got the pregnancy belly bulge. I solved it by accident. Basically, my husband had a bunch of health problems (including fatty liver diseased caused by a medication he was...

    Joint-friendly Heavy Weight Series

    Aqua Girl, if you keep that up, I'm going to stand you in the corner and make you stack BBs! lol That's what my mom used to tell my sister and I whenever we weren't really doing anything wrong YET, but we were getting TOO creative. lol

    Splitting workouts on a Rotation

    I agree with Debinmi. Most strength training can be broken up. To tell the truth, when I have a really really specific goal in mind, I've intentionally worked on that goal at a separate time from my workout time, simply because it works so well. For instance, At one time, I could not do a...

    STS 2.0 Foam Rolling - Love it!

    I have 2 dogs. One is a chocolate lab and the little one is probably a Chihuahua Pomeranian mix. Both were from shelters. We'd always had big dogs, so the little one was a change for us. Both dogs "supervise" the physical therapy that we do with our son, with the little one walking under my...

    Newbie Ab Question and Thanks

    ccmt, Debinmi is correct. I remember the response from Jenn. I was so relieved when I read it to find out that I hadn't been doing something that I shouldn't be doing. One of my ab/core workout days has been on my active recovery day for almost 3 years now. I had wondered over the years if it...
