Questions for Lift, Move & Restore 2 Elevated - Questions??

[Lady Vol Fan]

Maybe this was filmed early on in her rehab and they're just now getting around to posting it?

So we just watched the Cathe LIVE clips from #530 -537 (the past 8 weeks of CL)

What do you think @Debinmi ...do you think you saw some moves that appeared to be a more elevated level of functional moves?

April 1st! I never thought of that. Do you think she is pulling our leg?

Actually, I don't. I think she is very focused on mobility for aging seniors. Which is absolutely fine, but it's not where I am at in my fitness. So I am less interested in the new series, and more skeptical.

Yes, I kinda' thought about rehab exercises for shoulder/knee...which, of course, nothing wrong at all with
those type of exercises, but not exactly what I was talking about before, showing the difference in an
exercise, basic & then elevated. I love the ISO-hold exercises and yes, they can be tough. She has been
doing alot of those in the Lives, using only weights or a weight & tubing. and I really like the unilateral
moves as well.

 

[FitSaxe]

Just sooooooo confused now.

I said to myself Hell no!
May be she was showing modification.
The title is aging is inevitable, decline is not!
Well it's a no no for me.

Right, this is the video I was hoping to see to clarify what elevated would look like.

 

[FitSaxe]

Hold on a bit... I think it was for those in a panic that the "elevated" would be too hard & she was showing them there are ways to modify down.

Yes indeed. The video is for them.

 

[fitdeb]

Yes indeed. The video is for them.

But what about those of us who want to know what the "elevated" exercises will look like?

The video seemed like something one might do in a geriatric facility. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed that Cathe - who made her mark as the instructor for gym-style, advanced, home workouts would post something like this.

As a soon to be 67 years old who has been working out regularly for 42 years, I am not-actively aging, I am actively fighting aging and this type of thing isn't in my arsenal.

Those of us who want "elevated" stuff, we are also in our own right to question the intensity of the content.

I am sure Cathe is aware!

That being said, i do not know why people keep on asking for modifications.
Showing modifications is a norm for fitness instructors. Cathe always show them
That is an annoying old song.

 

[aqua girl]

That is an annoying old song.

It certainly is

 

[FitSaxe]

Cathe doesn't  always show mods - she sometimes does or verbalizes them tho. Maybe this series will be different and she'll have a modifying cast member for up and down - that would be great. I think she did great with mods for equipment in STS2.0.

Cathe cueing is one of the best. The instructions are to be delivered verbally or visually.
Verbal instructions are not ruled out. Let's not forget Cathe has an hour to deliver the entire content.
It is not always possible to show everything. Those details are not neglected for sure.

 

[Lady Vol Fan]

two cast members to watch for up and down mods wouldn't affect the time and would appeal to more people. JMHO.

There are typically always three people in full view anyway ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I think you meant " not neglected". But two cast members to watch for up and down mods wouldn't affect the time and would appeal to more people. JMHO.

The FIRM used to do this, at least in some of their early 2000s videos. They always had someone in the back demoing beginner modifications, at least. Trying to remember if they had someone also demoing advanced or if that was always the lead. So yes, it's possible to just say "follow so-and-so" for beginner / advanced modifications.

 

[Lady Vol Fan]

Right.
If LMRE is performed at an elevated intensity/level, then you probably only need a modifier doing the lower intensity/level.

 

[aqua girl]

The FIRM used to do this

Yes, you’re right….and also Jessica Smith. she usually always had 2 cast members, her mom & another lady, and a lot of times she would be having her mom show a slightly easier version, the other lady showing an advanced version & Jessica would usually do somewhere in between. You could then pick your level or alternate between the different
ones.

Amanda showed modifications. In Cardio Slam, Cathe was doing low impact modifications briefly in a smaller screen. My DVD paused on the modifications premix, so I didn't use it.

I have to admit- I'm surprised
This is the first time I’ve been so confused about a Cathe preorder (I’m referring to the target audience). The video everyone is talking about really confused me & almost caused me to bypass this preorder. I did preorder late last night knowing that I have reservations about the final product. I have never canceled a preorder and I won’t cancel this one so I hope LMR 2: Elevate matches up with the description that has been posted in the advertisements.

I’ve found Cathe’s instruction in her workouts pretty good and I would like her instructions in LMR 2: Elevate to focus on the target audience. Adding a modifier or instructions on modifications wouldn’t bother me as long as they don’t interrupt the flow of the workout. If there are too many modifications I would rather have a premix showing the workout with modifications that would help people to transition to the main program.

Could not agree more. One modifier should be fine.

I have quite a few DVD workouts that show at least one person doing an easier version. Some of them also show a person doing more advanced. Cathe also sometimes uses layering where she starts with an easier version and progresses up to a harder version. Those who can't do the harder version can stick with one of the easier versions. I've seen this layering used quite a lot with Pilates workouts too, often with 3-4 layers of difficulty. I like this technique as you know how to progress to the harder versions when you are ready.

 

[vivbc]

More concerned about modifying “up” than “down.”

Layering is a great skill and Cathe is great at it ..... We should be grateful for that IMHO.

I just do not understand all these dramas about cueing modifications!
Many here have been working out cathe for years and can figure out their own modifications to match their fitness level.
