upcoming workouts?

[dbclark44]

I'm eagerly anticipating what Cathe's next workouts are going to be for sure. Hopefully it's another series. I don't know about everyone else but I'm willing to wait up to a year from the time Cathe announces the pre-orders up until the time of release. That will give her ample time to really put her heart and soul into the project and make sure it's up to standards. I know sometimes people start complaining if they feel the workouts are taking too long to release and sometimes I wonder if Cathe feels like she has to rush at the end and hurry up and bring the product to the market so people don't loose interest. If Cathe releases a sequel to STS or her Gym Style workouts, I really want her to take her time with the planning/development and whatnot so we get a quality product.

I agree too. Love me some Cathe. Just hope she releases dvds and not go download only as so many instructors are doing. But if she does I figure that'll be the time for me to get on the download wagon.

I love my basement room and as a mother/wife its the only room in the house that's all mine. I have MY workout room. My dh likes to peak while I workout. He will just stay back and watch LOL and I don't' even know it. He will then tell me when I go back up stair how cute etc I am when I work out but at lease he knows not to talk to me during the workout LOL (just) peak. My sons will knock before coming in cause my clothes because my short ride up and seeing mom doing hipthturst would be awkward

I use to go to a gym years ago. I happen to be the only lady in the weight section and it just felt akward. I was always more worried that I wasn't flashing when I was on the bench etc. I also really looked sweating ugly while the other ladies were on the treadmill with makeup LOL I never could figure out why women worked out with makeup. They would even discuss sweat proof make up

Makeup while exercising? Uh, no. Not unless I'm working out in the evening and just happen to have it on from the day behind me. (Although that is not my favorite time of day to exercise at all.) People actually buy makeup just to work out in? Really? I did not know that. Interesting...

I'm sweating like a pig when I'm exercising, wearing a bandana to mop it up off my brow. Often one not matching my workout clothes, which obviously is not my best look, but whatever. I'm just trying not to go blind from my own forehead sweat, which is entirely possible with Cathe's workouts...I try to wear Capri pants because they are comfy for most workouts. Bootleg pants look the nicest on my frame, but I'll typically trip over the flared legs on a step because I'm a klutz. Leggings are too hot for my taste. I may wear shorts if it's a really warm day and even the Capri pants feel uncomfortable. Even with Capri pants, one might get a flash of my tush simply because I have a small waist in comparison to my hips and therefore the waistband tends to shift downward as the workout progresses. Shorts...hey, all bets are off as to what I might accidentally flash during a hip thrust in those. (I love hip thrusts, though! What else works the glutes so well?!) And lest I forget, my generous bosom adds to the fun, always ripe for creating wardrobe malfunctions. I bought a wrap-style sports bra recently and apparently I am too bosom-y for that style to work well. It made for some interesting-looking pec flyes and bench presses during Gym Style one day recently. Side planks in those would have been downright illegal. Live and learn. At least I'm only flashing myself...

Yeah, a gym? Please. I'd be way too focused on whether I'm committing some inadvertent form of indecent exposure to get in a good workout.

I think we must be twins!!! I don't worry about my top matching my bottoms. I'm ALWAYS having to adjust my clothes until they get sweaty enough to stop moving because now they are just stuck with sweat. I cannot worry about what I look like when I workout because I'm working out. My husband makes fun of me because when I get dressed and walk pass him into my workout room, he calls be Bettyboop because of the cleavage that has now appeared because of my sports tank. I cannot go bigger for a top because then I have no support so what's a girl to do. This is why I workout at home, alone. I'm so glad Cathe has all these dvds and On Demand because I would die if I had to join a gym again. Thank you Cathe!!!

Your post above made me think and amused me at the same time Lol
I would not feel akward at all by just fully concentrating and not paying attention
to anyone around. I see this as another mental challenge. Everyone is different but Iwould not let anything get in
way of having fun pumping iron!

As to make up..Oh my...As much I love and enjoy making up, it is out of question while I am working out.
It just feel un-comfortable. I would not mind working out bare face in a gym. I always do.
No need to wear any mask lol phew!

Well, thankfully Cathe created a whole bunch of kick-butt home workouts so that we need not deal with the challenge (mental or otherwise) at all, LOL. It isn't just about my level of concentration. Accidentally flashing my tush, crotch and/or half a bosom at someone could be downright dangerous in the gym. I'd feel awfully bad if a guy dropped a 300-lb. barbell on his feet because I (however unintentionally) flaunted my questionable assets at him in an inopportune moment...

On the other hand, this might be the way out of my single life. Maybe we're all onto something here. Although, if a guy was attracted to my aging, sagging, sweaty bod while at the gym, I'd have to question his sanity. And he'd be seeing me without makeup. So he'd have to be doubly insane to find me attractive. However, I am getting up there in age, pickings are slim, and as my Granny used to say, "Time's a-wastin'!"

Sorry, I just couldn't resist. This topic is just getting too funny to me, and I'm a wicked, dorky cornball at times. What can I say, y'all? I'm three weeks from the end of the college semester, college algebra is making me cuckoo, seasonal allergies are making me grumpy and achy, and I'm going to ward it off with some fun here on the boards!

Nathalie, pumping iron IS fun- you are soooo right about that! I love working out, period. Sad that much of the world thinks working out is this big chore, or a punishment. I see it as play time!

I love some classical music. I could workout to Rachmaninoff, or Chopin, something with some guts to it. A minuet, maybe not.

I like classical a lot, too. I got a taste for it when I studied piano. I'm a Shostakovitch or Grieg girl, myself. Somehow I can't see that coming in a Cathe workout, though.
