As Debinmi said above, not all injuries are related to weight-lifting but can definitely result in the need to modify workouts. In my case, I am having to modify workouts due to tendonitis in my hip caused by driving in stop/start traffic for a prolonged period of time. I still can't do any jumping or high step work like step ups.

Sorry to hear of your tendonitis.... I think you've been dealing with it for awhile now. I hope it's not a labrum tear - I had an acquaintance who had one & she suffered quite a bit.
Hmmm.... interesting idea! Goes along with my wishes for "Add-ons" and exercise "snacks". Someday, when Cathe is able to re-focus on On-Demand content, hopefully she might consider "micro-dosing" workouts.New idea for a blender “series”….Micro-Dose: Chest…..and so on….
I have a bunch of blender add-ons and "finishers" already, so I don't think I need anymore at the present time,
but as you know, I love short 10 min. workouts and also those "Bite-Size" rebounder workouts, and you're
right, there are tons of cardio/weights/kettlebell, etc. workouts on YT.

Commercial microdosing sites use actually "snacks" as a synonym for microdosing workouts!
Didn't we learn from health and nutrition experts that "snacks" between (here: workouts!) are not healthy and living only on "snacks" is dangrous!

I got in touch with mrs 2 lazy 4 the gym. She is a tough Cathlete currently easing back into lifting her usual stuff. She likes cathe’s stuffs. I am happy to report she is hopeful and positive.
As reported in the past, she went through chemo. The real issue is arthritis and/or side effect of the treatments. It has got nothing to do with any excuse. Neither has it got to do with any alleged hypertrophy-obsession. She is happy to mind her own business lifting her own body.

My Absense

Since I’ve gotten a few email queries, this is just a note to share that I am fine. Due to my shoulder issues, I stopped lifting weights and have been doing bodyweight strength workouts almost exclusively through Mark Lauren‘s app and that is working very well for me. I may do a post about it, but I don’t know when. It’s a great app and I highly recommend it (marklauren.com), but there is a lot going on in my life right now and I just don’t feel like I have the time anymore. Health-wise I am fine other than shoulder pain that I am undergoing medical treatment for. This blog is not going anywhere. I still use it regularly to choose workouts, mostly rebounder and mobility workouts since strength is via Mark Lauren. One day I hope to be back to writing workout reviews and breakdowns.
No, it's not a labrum tear fortunately. The initial flare up was back in November 2022. It was pretty much healed, and I was starting to incorporate high step and a bit of jumping into my workouts when it happened again in July 2024, same cause, driving in stop/start traffic for a prolonged period. Then it happened again in September last year. It is really frustrating, but I have a bunch of rehab drills that I do daily and also use infrared light therapy on it. It is getting better but will still hurt for a few days after longer drives and it doesn't feel stable enough yet to do jumping and high step work.
Hey @Bgoe, Step Boss did not come packaged in a multi-dvd case, only as individual dvds. So the individual price is currently the better option as you'd get the exact same physical product for less. Some series did come as a bundle in a multi-dvd case, others did not. The multi-cases do take up less space on the shelves, but not all series came that way.
