Cathe Elevated Project Update - Dec 28, 2025

I started out with Cathe in the 90's. I believe we are the same age. I have and will always love her workouts. About 80% of my workouts are with Cathe. Her DVDs are well thought out and put together and always challenge me. I am constantly amazed at how quickly she recovers from injuries and surgeries. The only issue I have is that she announces pre sales way too soon. I think they could avoid a lot of questions and customer aggravation if she waited longer to release info. Just my 2 cents worth.
 
Here is my 2 cents!

It's the polished presentation and all the little details that make a huge difference. I also like knowing that there is a new and improved workout coming my way some time in the future.

For this above and cortisol reason lol :D:D, I choose not to be an "aggravated customer"regardless of the reason. # personal choice to tolerate without any harassing-gaslighting campain!!!#just saying:)

Her workouts are the only workouts I can do over and over again without my brain refusing to cooperate.

I too love Cathe's quality. After trying out other company system, I decided long ago to stick to what I consistenly do. For this, common sense is : "do not try to fix what is keeping you coming back to your routine consistently" do not try to fix what is not broken.

To sum up : I am happy to wait without any "yes, but" you do YOU!

Please stop this hypochracy and accept that real humans, different from super humans, are caring and engaged and it is part of their humanity to be anxious even with whom they dearly love. We are all here because we love Cathe and what she is doing for us. Can't see any where here aggrevated customers, just loving but anxious humans eager to receive Cathe's new gifts! Only Nobody is perfect!

Let's hope it's true in this instance

If you mean the waiting for LMR2E, I feel confident, based on the exciting previewes, that it is true and worth the waiting:)!.
What makes Cathe's workouts different and superior to others is her insistance on having combined movements involving large amounts of muscles in most of the exercises, that is, her exercises are not, generally, classic. This can be a good reason, it takes time to put together and coreograph such exercises for us to follow!
I loved what i watched, therefore i'm anxious waiting for that good thing:D!
 
I was disappointed last year. But I have found more use for the series than I expected. I like the yoga and Pilates and mobility. I’m using them.
From what I have seen, this looks “elevated” so I am really looking forward to seeing it. And honestly, last year was not the norm. Typically I am very happy with the workouts I have ordered on a pre-sale.
Do I wish she’d provide a more realistic timeline during pre-sales? Yes I do. It’s frustrating for me to plan on late summer and be waiting into winter. I am now into a STS rotation, so when LMR2 is released, it will be on the shelf until the STS rotation is done. And, again, to be up front, I doubled up on Meso 2 so that partly why I am not ready for a new rotation. Looking forward to hearing from all of you when LMR2 comes out.

I'm not planning to use LMR2 right away either

The same here! Already started working out STS 2.0 12 week rotation, enjoying the challenge and intend to take it to the end! Depending on the real gains, either go back to Xtrain for better results or try the new LMR2E with the extra bonus workouts (aka strength workouts) rotation. BTW, was lucky discovering the loss of Xtrain's Leg DVD (probably during moving!) in time so that I could download it with the sale price!

This.

I'm jaded, though, from having worked with far too many sales people. Overpromising to get their money ASAP is par for the course.

Yes, I trust we'll get our beautifully-orchestrated and cultivated series. It's just not something for me to actually make plans around until I have the DVDs in my hands. I did appreciate taking advantage of the special pre-sale price, though, and I am actually pretty happy with the bonus workouts she put out.

My current 8-week rotation is going to end in a couple of weeks. I foresee myself setting up another 4- to 6-week rotation to have on hand if there's no shipping announcement by the end of this coming week.

Whatever rotation I set up, it'll be one that's not totally dependent upon strict adherence. I'm a sucker for brand new stuff - keeps me interested - so I do see myself halting whatever rotation I'm in the middle of so I can play with my new toys. :)
 
This is what I've come up with for my fill-in rotation for now. I was noticing after doing a lot of predominately heavy strength work that I was starting to miss doing occasional strength endurance.

Also had an "uh oh!" moment when I recently did some lower body floor work that some of those muscles were getting neglected, so I've included a couple days to make sure I'm adding in floor-work, too.

This rotation also doesn't skimp on cardio, given there are dedicated cardio days each week, along with the cardio one gets from doing full-body and lower-body strength workouts.

They're all general categories (not actual workout titles, per-se), so I'll be filling in actual workout titles when I start putting this in my calendar.

And I can do a rinse-and-repeat of this rotation as needed.

Anyway, sharing if anyone's looking for something similar. (And I "start" my workout weeks on Wednesdays with Tuesdays as my dedicated rest days - feel free to align the rotation to your own schedule.)

As an aside: I haven't yet done the Metabolic TB bonus download (I have it schedule for later this month). My sis said she didn't really consider it a metabolic along the lines of LITE & ICE Metabolic workouts, or a PHA or even many TB workouts.. She thought the title was misleading as she didn't think it was fast enough pace to be metabolic. Thoughts?

Hmmm - it's got a lot of compound moves and although heavy, she keeps the pace at a pretty good clip with very brief rests between exercises so it definitely has a metabolic cardio effect for me.

Your sis may be in better shape than me - but ask her about them burpees... ;)

I guess if one's only experience with Cathe's metabolic workouts is all her previous ones which are more akin to lighter endurance-type workouts, then I could see how this heavier one would seem like it's not quite in the same category. But for me, at least, so long as I select heavy weights, it fits the bill.

I like the variety it adds to my library of metabolic workouts.
 
Thanks @Kellyro77 for sharing your rotation. I like your idea of cardio and core day despite the fact that there are many other options out there. Cardio + core or Upper body + Core feel optimal to me:):cool::cool:

Good rotation:)

Yes metabolic being considered as cardio is a neat thought..... Spot on!
It is the best option for those who do not need or like a depleted cardio session. A pursuit of self depletion to counteract what is called by some as a "bulk" has always been a myth:rolleyes:

I hear you;);), indeed, mentionning those burpees. I also hear you regarding the heart rate. Each their own-claimed rate;) according to the weigth selection. I trust Cathe layering her content for a seamlessly transition from one move to an other while instructing with music.

Same here, I am happily waiting ignoring the politics, pointless discussions and speculations.

I do not make plan before receiving the workout:rolleyes:
I am pretty much a rotation cathlete for a specific goal or purpose. So I need to grasp the purpose of the system before incorporating it into my schedule accordlingly;):):). Well for this upcoming LMR2 I already know since it is the same purpose as the previous series.

Enjoy your rotation.;):cool:
