Yes, I have the stand. It has the holes in the middle to store the weighted rods when I'm not using them. And it is easier to set the magnetic pin while the blocks are on the stand.

Thanks for answering this, Debinmi. I've never tried to download anything from YouTube.

I changed to PowerBlocks back in 2022. Before that I had a brand of adjustable DBs similar to BowFlex SelectTech but I found them too wide and didn't trust the mechanism holding the weights to the DB. I felt that the weights could slip off. I wanted PowerBlocks from the start, but they only...

Some good recommendations here. You could also check out Christina Dorner, CDornerFitness on YouTube. She has a lot of short approx. 30-minute cardio workouts. Some are step aerobics, and some are more dance style. I've been using her cardio workouts quite a bit lately because of my sore...

I looked into this a while ago along with other devices. At the time there wasn't a lot available down here in NZ and it was questionable as to whether or not they would work. They were also quite expensive. Using my laptop didn't cost me any extra as all I needed was an HDMI cable and my...

I know what you mean, when it comes to tech, I can only do the basics. I take my laptop into my living room and use an HDMI cable to connect the laptop to the TV. When I turn on my TV, I have to use my remote to switch the input channel from TV to AV and then select the channel that my laptop...

I stopped buying DVDs when Covid hit and the costs of shipping skyrocketed. Before that all my DVD purchases came with free shipping. Also, the last series I bought on DVD took a month to arrive here in New Zealand, previously they had taken 6-7 days. Fortunately, around the same time our...

I'll join you as a fellow burpee wimp! :D The fast down and up movement of burpees makes me dizzy. I usually have to modify by only coming up to a squat rather than fully standing.

Those are from STS 2.0, another good series. The original STS was released around 2009. Choreographed step workouts aren't for everyone, but Cathe has lots of different types of workouts. The premixes on the DVDs are really good if you want to add a bonus for a longer workout or use a...

Welcome FruitLoop25! I started with Cathe's Basic Step and Body Fusion, and Low Impact Step DVDs. The first one of Cathe's workouts that I really felt proud of myself after finishing was Party Rockin' Step 1, after finally nailing the choreography. The other really big one was completing STS...

If it was me, you're welcome! :D

I have a weight plate holder similar to cataddict's one which also has a spot for the barbell. I have 2 x 0.5kg plates which I can use with my barbell and my EZ Curl barbell which are good for micro-loading. I also use 0.5kg wrist weights with my hex dumbbells for micro-loading. Would have...

I do this too! :) I did all 3 rounds once and prefer to stick to 2 rounds.

I only have a spreadsheet listing all Cathe's workouts, including Lives, a Yes/No column if I own them, and another Yes/No column if I've done them. I have OnDemand so there are a lot of workouts I've done that I don't own. I don't track the date I did them. In the case of Cardio Slam, I have...

According to my spreadsheet I have done this one, but I don't really remember it. Which probably means I only did it once when I first purchased the S&S series, and it probably wasn't my cup of tea either. :) I really like the weight work in this series though.
