Just a thought for you, age might not really be the factor. For example I had sciatica after getting hit by a car at 19. I think in general as our bodies constantly change not only because of age but all the other factors in our lives. Yes, doing something for only 1 year versus 10 years will...

I had more thoughts on this subject recently because this time of year I stand at a work bench 6 days a week and it is so hard on the body and as much as I try to move (butt kicks, anyone?) as I work it is not enough. I think movement is everything. Your body is kind of like a car engine--it...

Reading Elsie's account of how it has affected her (and yes my heart goes out to you Elsie) just highlights that there are people who have had a horrible time of it and remain extremely concerned yet we have people who claim hardship and throw temper tantrums just because they are asked to wear...

Just a thought: to maintain and foster flexibility I would think is a daily thing, right? Kind of like eating and sleeping well and the cliche of "if you don't use it you lose it." If for some weird reason I don't stretch in a day, it just don't feel right and I get stiff. I'm sure you...

I live in Maine so it took a while before the pandemic reached us but yes it is here like everywhere else (just a side note: people, for some reason, think this state would be so much safer so they've been creating a real estate boom here). Unfortunately, as much as some of us support and help...

Like fit deb, I HATE cropped jeans. Growing up we always referred to pants that were too short as flood pants. I get frustrated when my short legged coworkers complain that their pants are too long. As I point out, they can at least hem them to the perfect length!

As a short torsoed, extra long legged woman the mom jean is the exact opposite of what I need. I don't need my pants around my rib cage! It wasn't until I was about 40 years old that I discovered Athleta made a pant that fit me to a t. Of course they've stopped making them. Luckily I bought...

I've done this once so far and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hadn't previewed it so I had to hesitate to watch a few of the reps so I knew what I was doing but that usually happens as I learn the whole set. It is actually kind of funny because I have to plan where I do some of the exercises since...

I did this without previewing at all and found it exhilirating! (I know I spelled that wrong) I love all the different moves. Sticking with Cathe, you get to know her style but as familiar as some of it may seem she always puts new twists into what appears to be simple moves. I was very...

So I did the workout again and went heavier so I'm feeling some results today. It is awesome with the heavier weight and I was breathing hard with the effort. Since I did 50 lbs instead of 40 I just had to use both hands at once. For the exercise where you lift with one hand, place the weight...

Here are a couple of ideas for you: look into Ellen Barrett Fusion Flow and Peace Love Cardio dvds. Also Petra Kolber has one called Liquid Grooves. I don't think they are specifically called mobility workouts but in my eyes they qualify. I'm usually strictly a Cathe girl but I do these...

I just did this routine a few hours ago and enjoyed it just like I enjoyed the Lower Body Perfect pump. I did the same weights as Cathe (except the 35 lbs for triceps extension 'cuz my triceps are always a bit behind Cathe on endurance and strength). I know I will be feeling some of it...

Don't be afraid to go heavy! Your legs are very strong especially if you've been working out with Cathe for a while. I did this one yesterday and stuck to the same weights and high step heights Cathe uses just to learn the routine. I know I can do more because of my past experience with Cathe...

Yup, I love the dvds as well. I'm still old school even with my music--I only have cds. I barely touch a phone, never have taken a selfie and never downloaded an app . . . just don't feel the need. This is the only "social media" I've ever done and quite frankly I still barely know the...

I've been hating the mailbox lately--3-6 ridiculous political flyers almost everyday. Argh!! Perfect 30 will be the perfect antidote. Hopefully mine will show up soon!

Watching this makes me want to do it! If I ever have the ability to get internet at home and subscribe I will be in Cathe workout heaven. My head would spin with all the possibilities!

I'm so glad Cathe is mixing it up with this. Although I stretch everyday I sometimes need a longer workout length stretch to help recover, relax, release etc. Maintaining flexibility is so important and it really helps to have dvds to guide us through more than just the everyday basics.

This is right down my alley! I'm sure I'll need to use 2 dumbbells when Cathe uses 1 big one since I only have as high as 35 lbs. Looks like she uses a 50 on one of those exercises. I remember years ago when I first started with Cathe I was slowing building my weight collection as I could...

You know those days you think "I'm in pretty good shape" then you do a workout like this and you're sucking wind big time! I'm gonna love this one and love sucking wind! Thanks Cathe!

Funny thing is this makes me think of cross country skiing (I do the skating style). Keeping up with Cathe's quick footwork has really improved my footwork on the ski trails. I wish I had this sort of training back when I was a teenager and first learning.
