I ended up putting together all the band work from STS 2.0 BP Back, and then tagged on the T's prone on the ball and Superman Y's on the ball from XTrain Chest, Back and Shoulders. It didn't need to be a particularly long workout since I was just replacing the "Muscle Meltdown Back" from ICE for...

I've been dealing with an old, recurring lower back issue that flared up recently where any forward flexion results in pretty awful pain. Don't worry - I've gone in and seen a PT about it and we're working to address the issue. That said, he said I was clear to do any exercise, just for now...

I have adjustable weights, too (SelectTechs). There's no shame in hitting pause as I get situated. I do it all the time. I just say "Nope, Cathe. Not ready yet" and pause and resume once my weights are ready.

I'm dealing with the same thing right now. Last week, FedEx mis-delivered a package to my door. I contacted them through their website the day of to report it. I got their auto chat bot that took down all the info, said to keep the package in a secure place, and that I'd be contacted within 2...

Thankfully we've been missed by the heavy snow where I am (Colorado) - although we really do need the moisture. I can guarantee it'll eventually decide to dump 3 feet the day after I've done a shoulder workout.

How very kind of you! I don't need them, but I bet they'll get swooped up fast!

I always feel like calf work doesn't show up enough in lower body workouts, lol. I wish she'd do more of those "shin pull" kind of workouts, though, too, like you find at the end of Body Blast's Push & Pull.

Checking back in next morning to say... oooh yes. I hit my lower body plenty efficiently. Definitely feeling it in my legs today.

Twelve Step support groups are a great option. Plus you get to be around people who know exactly what it's like to be going through what you're dealing with. Yes, the stories are different, but a lot of the behaviors are not. From the sounds of it, Al-Anon or CoDA might be helpful for you, and...

I think this workout is one that's going to have to grow on me. Maybe I was just testy today because I did STS 2.0 Upper Body 2 yesterday and was getting irritated with the moves at the beginning where she was having you press your weight overhead, and the alternating arm up. My upper body was...

The hooks were such a game-changer for me when I started using them for lower body. Like others said, after a while in doing the really heavy lower body work in STS 2.0, my grip strength starts going out. My lower body can certainly handle the heavier weights, but I can't go as heavy as I'd like...

I'm kicking myself for not getting the Step Boss series when it first came out. I don't know why I kept thinking I wouldn't like it - it's choreographed STEP work for crying out loud. Watched the workouts last night and immediately had to weave in the Bonus Intermediate Step workout as one of...

I've finished another 12-week rotation - this time one that merged XTrain and STS 2.0 and I'm on my rest/recovery week. Since I've become an OnDemand subscriber, I've been perusing all of Cathe's other workouts to see what I want to do next. I've already determined I'm going to give the...

Gosh, I'm not sure! I guess any one of her total body workouts that are more high-rep / endurance based. Not PHA, though, since she keeps the focus primarily on lower and then upper, although she has some compound moves thrown in. That core section at the end was giving me Super Cuts vibes...

Welcome and glad you found Cathe's workouts! You'll probably get a bunch of different suggestions. For me, personally, I think her LITE series is a good one to start off with - her main workouts in that series are low impact, but she has bonus workouts that you can optionally add on that are...

Just finished this as my Christmas Day workout. First, I just want to say I really appreciated Cathe's comment at the close of the workout that we had a choice today and we chose to do something good for ourselves by doing a tough workout! I appreciate being reminded that I made a good choice...

Wow! Really kind of you to share these with us! Thank you so much, and happy holidays!

I'm not doing the live workout since I'm working right now, but I'm tuned in with you in the background and your reindeer costume is just so flippin' cute!!!! I don't know how you're not passing out from being in such warm clothing. Happy holidays!

Sounds like these are going to be ready just in time for my current rotation to be ending. :D
