I love choreographed cardio, especially when it syncs so well with music. The fun factor is so much higher for me, than with repetitive drill cardio. I like the way it absorbs my full attention, and when you're in the flow of it you feel like you're on a ride. Her finished products on her step...

I finished the third week of the LMR+LIC rotation today, with Functional Lower Body. I like this one so much! It feels so effective without an endless number of reps and pulses to get the job done. My heart rate gets up there, I sweat, and I feel good when I'm finished. Today Cathe shared a 2...

High five! #StrengthInNumbers

I was thrilled to see this in the email - thank you for posting it here! I’m a week away from finishing the 1 month LMR + Low Impact Cardio rotation in the LMR user guide, then I’ll dive into this one. Anyone else? I like my intermediate steady state cardio, so I’ll add in 30 minutes of cardio...

Functional Upper Body was on the rotation for today. I went higher again in weight, over the last time, and I'm reaching the point where I feel like I'm putting in an effective level of effort. My upper body feels a bit fatigued, as well. I think this is where I should be working, with these...

Today was a rest day on the LMR+LIC rotation, so I decided to give LMR Mobility Fusion a go. I love how all of Cathe's mobility routines make me feel, and was disappointed to see that Mobility Fusion isn't anywhere in this rotation. My goodness, that's a fantastic routine! For me it felt like 40...

Functional Core Fusion - this is the core workout for me! Fantastic! I'm surprised at how long she keeps us in the reverse plank with our feet on the ball, but I guess that's an area I need to work on.

Well, that was fun! Today on the rotation was a 30 minute low impact HIIT, and not what I wanted to do at all. So I used the workout blender and made up a cardio that wound up being a blast: Cardio Party (CP) warm up, through to the end of Blast #1; Step Boss Intermediate Step (SBIS) combo 1...

Today on the rotation was LMR Functional Total Body. I went at least one increment higher than Cathe in all of the weighted exercises and feel like I found the right spot for me. My heart rate was up for the whole routine, I had to concentrate to maintain good form, and I'm quite sweaty. But I...

Yes, exactly! I'm really appreciating all of the variety in this series. My body is enjoying all of it!

Today was the first time I tried Functional Pilates Fusion, and I loved it! I haven't explored pilates very much, so I wasn't sure what to expect from this routine. I will absolutely do this one again!

Yesterday wound up being pretty much a rest day. I did some very relaxing yoga before bed, but that could hardly be considered a workout. Today on the rotation was Cardio Party, but I chose Rev'd Up Rumble instead. I love this routine so much. The music is great and coordinates extremely well...

That makes good sense!

Yesterday was Day 12 of the rotation: Functional Lower Body. Again, I went one increment higher than Cathe for the whole routine. That required me to work a bit harder, and it felt like a good level. This is my favourite workout of the whole series, so far. Today is supposed to be a rest day...

Today was Day 11 of the rotation: Functional Upper Body. I went 1 - 2 increments higher than Cathe in all of the moves and found it a better challenge than the first time. This morning I also did some yoga: Blissology On Demand's 19 minute "Lean and Serene in Just 19". It's a great one for...

Thank you for sharing all of that! You really sound like a trooper! Do you use any other instructors besides Cathe?

I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with sickness for so long! But wow, you made it to 60 before menopause? That’s amazing! Have you tried the upper body balance disc bonus? I’m curious how someone with a compromised shoulder would find those moves? I like your style. Alternating...

Day 8 of the rotation was scheduled as Core Fusion and while I haven’t done that one yet, I wanted something different. I wanted cardio, and upper/lower, so I decided to make it a Bonus day. I did, therefore, the Bonus Low Impact Cardio, the Bonus Lower Body Balance Discs, and the Bonus Upper...

Day 7 of the rotation was LMR Functional Barre Fusion, using the balance disk, ball, chair, and 3 lb dumbbells. This workout felt like a collection of greatest hits from my physiotherapist! Total Body Physio it could have been called! It's great! The use of the balance disks meant that my hips...

It's great to meet a like-minded fitness friend, Deanna! May I ask what you are rebuilding stamina from? An injury? Or a lengthy break from exercising? I'm 54 and trying to shore up my body from the last 5 years of going into menopause, having a bulging disk in my lower back, plantar fasciitis...
