thank you. I will respond in more detail this eveningHI Debra,
I think if Low Impact & High Intensity is what you crave, then the Low Impact Series would probably suit you best & Cathletes get excellent results from it. I would also throw in SuperCuts from Xtrain as a low impact get-alot-done type of workout that will burn fat.
The beautiful thing about ICE series is that it truly gives many options for shorter workout options (which I love), although there are some very high-impact portions of it. At least, I felt so. As Boomer already mentioned to you, you can try everything out first OnDemand and find out what you are into.
When you say you were always slim, were you someone who erred on the side of slim & responded quickly to weight training? Just wondering which body type etc. you are. I find different women respond to different kinds, volumes etc. of training & of course, it changes throughout life. I am not menopausal myself, but I am running into this type of thing lately. I am not seeing any extra benefit from working out more often, so I am going to cut back my schedule to four days a week & do more walking. My waistline responds quite well to grounding & de-stressing self care activities like walking outside. I also do some pilates, as boring as it can be usually. Also, have you been making any nutrition changes along with your change? Eating enough, including good fat, magnesium etc.?
(Sorry if I blabbered about there ....)
Lots of great information. Thank you. Yes I agree, I also am not seeing benefit for excessive workouts. I love walking outdoors, used to run, but too hard on my joints and prevents me from being able to lift weights at times. For the most part, I eat well, lots of veggies, fresh fruit, lean proteins and grains - some dairy. Mostly greek yogurt with berries. Stopped drinking milk, and drink small amounts of almond or coconut milk. I supplement when needed with BiPro unflavored whey protein - great quality, made in the US, no harmful chemicals or ingredients. Sleep is somewhat disrupted now and stress is always running in the background. I am very aware of self care, prayer and worship, breathing, and have regular massage and chiro appointments to keep things "loose"..haha! So that's pretty much ME in a nutshell. I had a fluke heart attack 4 years ago...no known health issues, no high blood pressure, no plaque or blockage - an artery that wripped (very rare). Fully recovered, released to workout with no restrictions. I am a survivorHI Debra,
