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...

For all of you that mentioned possibly chasing after the ball during this workout... you got me laughing. I'm just imagining having to chase mine across the entire house and up and down stairs when Ivy (my ornery) dog takes off with my dropped ball. lol I may have to shut her out of the workout...

Yes! I used to have an "I HAVE to the entire workout" attitude, so I'd never even explored them. It turns out they ARE an entire workout, plus I can taper it to my needs and time available. I've only been lifting heavy (heavy for me) for about 6 months, but I LOVE it, but I'm finding that...

My memory isn't what it used to be, but I'm thinking I read somewhere that we have 90 days to download before the link or the coupon code or something becomes invalid? I could definitely be wrong (menopause brain lol), but I thought I'd mention it so that if I'm correct, someone else can verify...

When we think of "functional", we should be thinking of those skills/abilities that tend to decrease with age (balance, mobility/range of motion, flexibility, coordination, etc.) as well as HOW we use our bodies in daily life. LMR and LMR 2 both focus on those aspects of "functional". In your...

I, too, started out with Cathe on VHS. I liked those videos so much, and I was a member of a gym (at the time) that it was years before I actually began expanding my workout library. Most of the other instructors... I did the workout once and ended up donating it. Cathe... when I stopped going...
