I did Supersets this morning. Loved it!! This is the workout I've been wanting for some time- total body, heavy lifting, low rep range, basic principles of strength training. Loved the rest periods. I actually feel a bit fatigued and trying not to grab a cup of coffee. Thanks Cathe!!!

Super Sets for me tomorrow. Glad to hear you LOVED it.
not rushed - just how I like it. I am able to concentrate on my form instead of rushing to pick up weights for the next exercise. I think this is THE series - maybe the best of all besides STS!
Thank you Cathe and Team for yet another great effort!!!

Thanks Debinmi!!
Just did this one and I love the exercises. I have to confess that the heaviest I lift is a set of 15's and I have one 20 lb. Believe it or not, since my neck surgery a couple years ago, I have made strength gains, but I try not to over do it, yet feel challenged. The exercises that I went a little lighter on, I just added a couple extra reps. It worked out perfect and I was quite sweaty. I like that it was a slower pace, but the time flew.
Such a quality program. The visuals are awesome and I love the set. Works perfectly on my dvd player. I feel like they are in the room with me.
Hat's off to Cathe!

I hope no confession is needed. My heaviest set of dumbbells is also 20 lbs and I used 10's, 12's and 15's for my first go at Giant Sets. I too added a couple of reps here and there while still staying slow and found the workout challenging if not super hard. Maybe I'll get to those 20's, maybe not, but I think this new series is "modifiable" enough for me to enjoy it. I'm nearing 70, have been "doing Cathe" for decades now and as she so often says, "listen to your body."
