Can 2018 Cathe still keep up with 2005 Cathe?

So I've been doing Cathe videos since 2003. I still have a collection of VHS (yes VHS) copies of the original IntervalMax and Cross Train Express series, and I still use them. Occasionally I get down on myself because I have to pause to take a breath in order to keep my form...there was a time when I had 'Kick Max' on my calendar as a recovery day.
I would like to know whether 2018 Cathe can still videos from that era all the way through without pauses. Just curious! By the way, the hair has come a long way since IntervalMax. Much better now.

You are wondering if 2018 Cathletes can still keep up with her older videos? I am in my late forties. For weight training, yes I can still keep up. For cardio, no I can not! I find that with the shorter, intense cardio (Hiit and Liit) I am okay, but with the longer cardio (IMAX, kick box, boot camp) I need to take more breaks. I try not to get down on myself, because I've read that the shorter, more intense cardio workouts are actually more effective for us as we age. And I agree, the hairstyles have come a long way and are much better now!

Whenever I do an older workout I wonder if Cathe would still do it too. It would be cool to see the old gang do something like IMAX or cardio kicks. Same background folks!

Thank goodness it isn't just me!!! I was getting so discouraged of late as videos I, too, once used as "recovery" are now, on occasion, a challenge. I will be 58 next week and it is high time to be ever so thankful for my health and stop worrying about whether or not I need to take a 5-second break once or twice in a tough cardio video.
