Update?
- Thread starter vivbc
- Start date
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.

I agree. When I saw the sneak peak on FB, my thought was that this series remains in the design stage and is not near filming. And this is a large undertaking. I’d have been happy with the 4 cardio low impact workout.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

The pilates and yoga fusions contains isometrics movements. As you quoted they can be challenging.
Cathe always ask for cathlete suggestions and she takes them into consideration.
LMR already cater for isometric and other exercices. Cathe aims to offer various workouts within a specific series. I prefer she sticks to this format to keep the motivation high.
Let's her be what she's known for . Other instructors offer bodyweight series but Cathe operates differently and many are happy with that. That is my opinion

Maybe Cathe should cease pre-sales until enough of the workout details are in place, workouts have been designed, cast members have been chosen etc. If Cathe did that the wait would most probably not be as long and she might be able to honor her delivery time frames, albeit estimated. In any case an update to inform the customer base of her progress or lack there of would be appreciated.

Cathe offers pre-sales to take some of the financial burden of production off of her company. She has been doing it for decades, I doubt she would consider changing.
I am happy to make pre-sale purchases, however, I feel this time around there has been significant "rumblings" throughout her loyal client base. She needs to address these questions.

I agree... it would.
I, too, am happy to continue to make pre-sales purchases to help keep Cathe making videos. My husband has a Kickstarter purchase made FIVE YEARS ago that we are still waiting on. Let's just say that I have learned a lot about patience in that time. :-o
I'm just glad that Cathe continues to produce high-quality workouts decades after she first started. There will come a day that she won't, after all. Let's be as supportive as we can until then so that day comes later rather than sooner.

Continuing to show interest in her upcoming project by asking how it's going is supportive. :-)
