That's what I'm hoping for. Hoping she sneaks abs in with all of them. She's really good about having us use are abs to stabilize, but I'm hoping for specific ab focus in addition to that. I seem to need more of that at this age than I used to. lol I'm so grateful for all of the ab bonuses she's...

Knowing Cathe... our glutes (and everything else) will probably still be feeling the "activation" 2 days later. lol

Ooooooh! So excited - e-mail said it was a lower body workout. Does this mean there will be an upper body one too? The anticipation... loving it!

Kellyro, I've found doctors to be very unknowledgeable about the specifics of nutrition and exercise. I have utilized for doctors for health concerns (after the fact), but for prevention... I've had no luck. My dad ran into the same problem, and frustrated, he asked... "how much of your...

Nickisteen, I agree. I'm so glad we've had Cathe encouraging us to listen to our bodies (clear back when others were still preaching "no pain, no gain"). I have enough shoulder, neck, and upper back issues (not caused by working out) that I already substitute dumbbells for barbell work with...

Lannette, thank you for your encouragement. I have been doing some more challenging splits as well as some of the easier total body workouts (I got a lot of ideas from people on Cathe's site). My recovery time is a lot longer than it used to be. lol So, I've been grateful for LMR, because I have...

I was wondering that too. I'm thinking, though, that it's likely going to be the same equipment, just based on the workout titles (barre, balance, etc.). I sure would like an excuse to buy a kettlebell though, so if she happened to add that to a core or strength workout... I'd be a happy camper. lol

Ashaw... my heart goes out to you. I've been there. I had actually completely blocked off my emotions during my marriage in order to protect myself. I had to have family, the police, and a restraining order (which I have had to extend to a 2nd year) help get me out and prevent further physical...

Debinmi, yes, those are some of the others that I'd heard about, and I was familiar with most of the changes (ex. 30 degree angle lift for lateral raises), but I kind of forgot that they used to be done another way, because is so good at form pointers and keeping us educated that I just...

My family helped me move a couple of years ago, and they can relate. lol Some workout equipment is heavy! lol I felt really bad that life got hectic and I didn't even have the time to use that equipment for a couple of years. Now, though, I'm back on my fitness journey, so my family didn't help...

I usually disregard "new" fitness opinions. I consider most things a fad/opinion until I see 3 research studies that support the claim - only then, do I take it seriously enough to consider it fact and consider making changes. I have been hearing a LOT, though, about exercises that one shouldn't...

I downloaded and was able to preview it. I still have to figure out how to get it in a usable format for me (really old TV, no tech skills, and I don't do workouts on laptops or any other small screen), but I'm looking forward to doing this one. I haven't actually been doing metabolic strength...

I am no longer a member of a gym (too expensive), but the ones I used to be a member of were always kept cool. My workout room is kept cool - with a fan. I have a difficult time controlling my body's temperature (menopause), so a cooler workout area are a necessity for me. I heard once of a...

I have heard the 8 rep max recommendation that was mentioned in the original question. I did not, however, delve deeper into it, because I've heard sooooo many "experts" over the years, and the recommendations keep changing, and it goes against what I have found works for me. I'm in menopause...

It is my understanding that Cathe has On-Demand, which I believe is streaming. I, however, use DVDs. I prefer to own, rather than keep paying for the same thing over and over. Also, this is the 3rd town I've lived in that has horrible internet. I work out regularly, and my internet is not...

I finally got back into working out a couple of months ago. I started with 1 short upper and 1 short leg workout a week. I then, added a total body day. Once I got stronger, I started doing one body part a day and hitting it pretty hard. Now, I "change things up" by doing 4-day split, u.b, l.b...

Yes! I've been trying to remember which one used the weights. For some reason, when I use a weight, it seems less stressful on my neck. I did do the LMR Core 2 and I was able to do it. I had to take a 2-minute break after one of the moves and then start up again, but I did it and I got that...

Thank you! Ab stackers was one of my faves, and for some reason I thought it was in the LITE series, so I couldn't find it! Perfect 30 would have been the one I was looking for, so thanks. I don't think I knew Step Boss had one - I'll have to check that out, because I have 2 out 3 of the Step...

Check your e-mails, we got another one - with pics! There's evidently an ab/core section on the Total Body Metabolic Strength workout (first free download for those that ordered LMR2. The picture shows weighted crunches. I'm sooooo excited. I'm not sure if I can do a metabolic strength workout...

I already commented, but I just wanted to add that there are some videos that I won't purchase or that I used to own and gave away because they became too difficult for me at this age (ex. Crossfire), but they have bonuses (ex. abs) that I would still like to own, so a compilation would be...
