Thank you for your kind words. Your use of the word "thriving" describes it perfectly. Recovery was rough, to say the least, but it has paid off. Everything I had to do to get out... each step kind of broke me down a bit, but then I'd come back stronger - kind of like how strength training...

Your are a strong lady, and thank you for sharing your experience. You summed it up so nicely. It's odd that I took care of myself physically, but I didn't do that emotionally. I have finally learned what you are talking about - putting oneself first. I am sooooo much more for my son and others...

Oh! I have a T-shirt that has that quote on it! As well as one that says "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you". :cool: I am the one that has been blessed. I doubt you ladies have any idea how much help you have been when I had to restart my fitness journey. I've got a long ways...

This was an old post that was brought back up. My ex-husband now has a restraining order against him, and I carry mace on me at all times. lol He gained all of his weight back and was over 300 lbs last I knew. He got kicked off of his fighting team for causing conflict on the team. He had to...

I do not use it often (prefer weights most of the time), but I find it helpful when I'm recovering from illness (cold, flu, etc.) to "get back into the groove" without overdoing it (I also use Jessica Smith's Body Fusion for the same purpose). I rarely get ill, but when it happens... I've...

Thank you for the update, and thank you for the time and effort that went into the free workouts. They are quality through and through. Looking forward to glimpses of LMR2 and the free workout. I don't know if you're reading this, but I'd sure love it if you put some abs in that last free...

PHA (with no # after it) is part of the Strong and Sweaty series. Before buying individual workouts from a series, you'll want to check out all of the workouts in the series, because it's cheaper to buy the whole set (if you're going to buy them all eventually) than to buy the separate DVDs...

Kellyro77, did you do this workout just to get familiar with it until we get the other half of the split, or are you going to do a back and bi workout? If you're going to do a back/bi workout, are you doing it from X-Train? I've been doing mostly push/pull, supersets, perfect pump, pyramid pump...

You picked some good ones! I think you'd like Perfect Pump too. It's a 1/2 hour upper and 1/2 hour lower body workout that can be done together as a total body workout. The Pyramid Pump you purchased has some bonuses, including a mini 5 minute upper body and 8 minute lower body bonus that are...

I'd kind of assumed you'd been a long-term exerciser when you mentioned that you matched Cathe's weights. I don't know any beginners that could do that at any age. lol Very impressive. :) You may have already discovered this through shopping for the workouts you purchased, but Cathe spoils us...

Welcome FruitLoop25. What a fun user name! I feel that most of Cathe's strength workouts can work for everyone, because one can always lift lighter, do every other rep, do a timesaver premix, or any number of of other ways to adapt. I've restarted an interrupted fitness journey, but didn't...

I have July Body too! I haven't used them yet. I'm still lifting pretty light, but I'm getting ready to try them, because I'm "stuck" at 10 lbs and not ready for and don't own anything in between.

I've started making a list for Black Friday. I didn't know about the Columbus Day sale - thanks for letting me know - I'll keep an eye out for that. I'm hoping to be in better shape by December and have a better idea of what I want. I used to love cardio, but I'm struggling with anxiety when my...

My Cathe plates are currently stored on a peg with a flat metal bottom (it was part of a system that I bought at Aldi's). The rest of my plates are in an old plastic milk crate (on their sides). The peg thingy is a pain, though, because I have to take the lighter ones off to get to the heavier...

Right now, I'm focusing on strength (and trying to keep my heartrate as low as possible while doing it, because I'm having anxiety when my heartrate goes up). I think I have plenty of strength workouts, but I am kind of interested in having more fabric band workouts, now that Debinmi mentioned...

I feel silly. lol I'd clicked on categories and read through workout titles, but I didn't realize there were video clips. lol After I read your comment, I went back to see what you were talking about. I just looked and figured out how to click and play them. That's going to help me a lot. Ugggh...

I don't have a spin cycle, so I was surprised when you mentioned "jumps". It sounds like Cathe makes spin workouts fun and interesting too. Hope someone that knows more about Live workouts has some favorite spin workouts they share with you.

That sounds like a good strategy. You found a Fit Tower? It took me years to find one, but it was worth it. I didn't see Live workouts (didn't think to look for them) with the Boss Bands & Loops. I'm going to go back and look and write those down. I didn't realize Cathe had made more. I really...

I didn't keep track of the link, because it wasn't really a list, but more of a discussion of favorites in answer to someone wanting to narrow down the cardio category. I did write down the Warrior workout (it was mentioned several times), because I want to get back into kickboxing once I feel...

So, I received an e-mail regarding the Labor Day Sale, and it said 50% off of Cathe downloads when you spend $50. I don't do streaming, and I've never purchased a download. Out of curiosity... I decided to look at what was available (you know, to avoid doing the housework that was waiting for me...
