By "visual"... I guess I should also add "hands-on". lol I kind of get distracted on a computer. When I'm planning my workouts, I have an index card system I use. If, however, my plans change (or I just can't get in the mood for what I had planned) and I need a shorter workout or different...

I used a free download called WinX DVD author. I'm horrible at tech stuff, but it burned my DVDs quickly and did everything for me... it was just a few steps and very intuitive. It does have to be a DVD (rather than CD). My DVDs were R/W (read/write), but I'm not sure that that was necessary...

I'm not planning on subbing a kettlebell for this workout. I'm not entirely new to it, as when I was a member of a gym, I used them quite frequently. I wouldn't mind purchasing one (or a couple), but I currently don't have a use for them, as I do mostly Cathe workouts. I wouldn't feel...

I'm not sure. Most of the moves use both hands, so I'm thinking a kettlebell would not work, but I've never used one. I've been looking for an excuse to buy one though. lol

I wasn't sure where to post this, because it's not an idea for the next video. It's an idea for a shirt. Cathe, I'd love a shirt that has your quote of "You get out of it what you put into it." I can't even remember which videos I've heard you say that in, but when things get tough (in life, or...

I went from bending and reaching and climbing (I'm short with tall cabinets, so all the Thanksgiving platters required a 3 step step stool) to leg wrestling my great niece on Thursday. lol Friday night, I checked my e-mails and found that the couch I'd ordered arrived a week early, and the...

Excellent point! I'd always wondered about why we didn't work legs to the point of failure, but you're right... if my legs failed, I'd end up sprawled on the floor on my backside with my weights ending up who knows where. lol

I am recovering from being sick, and I'm so frustrated. I'd been working so hard most of the year to get back into working out. I was maybe mid-intermediate for strength training. I was sick off and on for a month, and I can't believe how far I backslid. I finally did a VERY short and what would...

During a hook, you're arm and elbow are parallel to the ground. The "opponent" receives the hit/punch from the side. It can be aimed at the head OR body (depending on your height, the height of your opponent, and whether or not you've used your legs to jump while punching. A body shot is any...

You were right about the markers. I'm so glad Cathe uses bands. Another video instructor had the viewer using a jump rope. I had wood floors and accidently stepped on the rope, and it kind of "rolled", causing me to slip. I kept myself from falling, but I wrenched my back trying to keep from...

I go to an activity/community center for my line dance lessons and pickleball. They label our programs (vs. the ones available to other groups in the community) as for "50 or better". lol So, I'm better, and there are some that are even better than myself. lol

Balance, flexibility, range of motion/mobility, and light core all in one. Cathe, can you send this workout to me now? lol I'm looking forward to the whole series, but my body is craving this one. Not sure I can wait. lol I'm dreading those "hurt so good" scorpions, but I always feel sooooo good...

Seriously? I'm going to put them on my wish list. Thank you for the info! :)

I am hoping for shorter premixes too. I am really trying to focus on adding a bit of "functional" to the end of most workouts (in addition to having one entire workout focused on it), but I don't want it to cut into my main workout goal (currently strength) too much. So many aspects of health...

I know it's too soon to be dreaming about new workouts, because Cathe is busy with LMR2, but I would LOVE another burn sets. It wouldn't even have to be a series or anything. Cathe has produced such a variety of active recovery, legs, etc. to go along with it that I could build my own workouts...
