Update?

[ChelePA]

The problem I have with Cathe's presales and particularly this one, is not only do you order a year before you get them, but she just had a knee replacement and stated she's ready to start filming. Really?? So she asks for what everyone wants and in one day she announced a LMR2. Hmmm. I don't think the majority wanted that, even if it's leveled up. I would have preferred a small package of strength, cardio/bodyweight, circuit style and fusion workouts with bonuses. Simple. 3 DVDs are plenty. Something for everyone. I also don't understand why you would start a presale before you are able to do the workouts.

I expected she would need a good 6 months recovery before she could even film. Why not wait and see how the recovery goes? I think she is still figuring out what she's going to do and I doubt she has started filming. I could be wrong. Anyway, I will wait and maybe pick up a few on the daily deals.

This would have been perfect. I would love bodyweight only routines. They can be quite challenging if done right.

I, too, would prefer less dvds at a time.. 3, maybe 4, consisting of mabye 2 different
weight workouts, a cardio dvd with a couple short low impact workouts, different
styles, a Bootcamp or circuit style workout, and an abs/stretch dvd, with a couple
short standing abs and a shorter stretch routine (10-15 min) Would be my “perfect”
short series.

I wondered about this....why ask if it was already known?

Bodyweight can also feel tougher over time as you develop proprioception within the individual exercises.

To get the excitement started…

An update would certainly generate excitement as well ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Totally agree! I have done a mixed bodyweight and weight rotation with a lot of Mark Lauren interspersed. In the beginning, it felt too "easy", but once I started to focus on perfecting the movement, it became harder. I learned a lot with that rotation.

Hmmm, I'll have to check this out. Thanks!

I think there are no updates because there is nothing to update. I understand the people who say, in effect, “hey, let Cathe do her thing and in the end you’ll be pleased.” That’s happened in the past. Last year, not so much. In time, much time perhaps, we shall see. For now, I am exploring offerings on YouTube. Thanks for mentioning instructors you like.

I think you may be right .. nothing to update.
If you're looking for cardio, Kelly Coffey-Meyer is in the process of moving all her videos (both the dvd collection & RAW) to YouTube. Many are currently free, others are only through her membership or her website app. Most of her cardio is in the 30 minute range. I enjoy her kickbox, boxing, step-boxing & love her circuits. If you spin, I highly recommend Kaleigh Cohen on YouTube - her's are free too & she offers a free click & play playlist for beginners that are 20-40 min long.

ETA: I forgot to mention Kelly usually has Low Impact modifiers in her cardio.

Surely there is some timeline update they could share..?

Personally, I think the reason we haven't had any updates or timelines is because Cathe hasn't progressed far enough to be able to provide an estimate. I don't think we will get anything until she has at least finished the workout design, scheduled the cast, started rehearsals, and scheduled the film crew. Without these components in place, there are probably too many uncertainties that make estimating a reasonable timeline very hard to do.

I know I sound snarky, but she apparently was far enough along to know how much to charge us.

I love Cathe and her workouts, own them all, pre-ordered them all, but the silence this round is quite deafening.

This is fair enough. Around this point last year with LMR1, she had already started to share rehearsal pictures. Based on the video sneak peak, it seems to me that she isn't even finished with the workout design yet or identified the cast. It would take a lot of guts to publicly admit that she is this far behind, but admitting this would be far better at this point than saying nothing.
