I try to plan out my rotations based on how I may be progressing physically. If something gets in the way, though, I'll adapt. (I don't get too worked up if I have to change plans, unless its because of an injury, then I get kinda peeved at first, but just go with the flow after the initial...

I did this with the bonus today. Finally got around to adding the bonus, and I think with this workout, I'll have experienced all workouts and all bonuses in the series now. Glad to hear I'm not the only one challenged by those saluting Supermans. I've got a touchy back as it is, and yes, while...

This might be insane, but I've officially got my calendar filled through mid-August now with rotations. I'm currently on the 8-week LMR "Beginner" rotation. Once that's through, I'm going to do the above STS 2.0/LMR rotation. After that I decided I wanted to give the XTrain series some love...

I'm excited for this. It'll be a great segue between my doing the 8-week LMR only rotation working me back into STS 2.0. (Fingers crossed my tennis elbow will be much better by then!) I might also plug in a cardio day here and there on some of the lighter restorative days. Loving her emphasis...

Cathe shared this recently in one of her e-newsletters. Posting here for ease of locating for future reference. Rotation description pulled from her email: …I am including a 2-month rotation that mixes two of my most recent series which each have a very different focus: Lift, Move & Restore...

I was gonna buzz about this, too. I'm going to post it into the Rotations forum, too, for future ease of finding.

Finally did the mini workout that follows the foam rolling and I can definitely see how the hamstrings get worked pretty good. So crazy such a simple move and prop does that. I combined this with the lower body balance disc bonus and it made for a good, solid 40-ish minute workout in full.

I finally did the Pilates workout in full (not the foam rolling bonus, so I've yet to experience the bridges on the foam roller - I'm sure those would definitely hit the hamstrings good.) I'm in agreement with others in that this was more of a gentle movement workout, perhaps a little closer to...

Did this workout today, and I've officially found a new favorite mobility workout. I pretty much enjoy all of Cathe's other mobility workouts (Perfect 30 and STS 2.0), but I really like how she changed this one up. She kept the moves in this one more active than static like you find in the...

I did this workout yesterday, and I tagged on the mobility bonus at the end. Enjoyed this for the most part. I felt pretty thoroughly worked by the end. She uses slightly heavier weights in this than in her upper body and lower body versions in this series. I was a little surprised she added...

Did this workout this morning. I'm surprised to have really enjoyed it. Usually when I see "Barre" I cringe and avoid it like the plague - maybe because my primary experience with Cathe's Barre workouts is from the XTrain Legs bonus, as well as the bonus work in Kick Max (Leg Conditioning...

My neck and shoulders are hurting today. I'm suspecting those saluting Supermans because I was feeling a bit of strain while doing those yesterday. I'm not saying this workout is to blame - I've been dealing with a lot of stress lately, so I'm sure it just exacerbated the tension from that...

Did this workout today - didn't have time to include the bonus (was squeezing it in between work meetings). If you're expecting to get your core completely fried with this, this is not the core workout for you. While the above may sound negative, I'll say the positive side is that she takes a...

Did this for the second time, including the balance discs again as it came up in my rotation. Just wow - I suspect that my only having a barbell bar to use as my balancing point (instead of the bar) makes some of these moves really tough. I'd be curious to see if anyone else tries it what your...

Okay, I think this is officially my favorite Cathe Yoga workout now. I've never been really keen on most of her yoga DVDs - I tend to gravitate towards the Namaste Yoga series when I want to do yoga. I really appreciated her pacing and queueing in this series, which I've always felt was "off"...

Coming back the day after - got some fun soreness in my shoulders, triceps, and lats. I suspect most of it is from the bonus balance disc segment.

I'm officially starting the 8-week LMR rotation today, and today was Functional Upper Body. I added the bonus balance disc segment, too, since I wanted to check that out, as well. Weight selections are pretty light with this, which I'm good with given I'm still healing from tennis elbow. I...

Thank you - I've already set myself up to do the 8 week rotation from the LMR user's guide, but when I'm done with that, I may give this a whirl!

I did this workout on Thursday in place of my STS 2 foam rolling lower body workout. I got really confused with the premix titles as they said stuff like "Foam roller and ball only". I mistook "Foam roller" to be the BONUS foam roller workout, so it took me through the pilates workout exercises...

I did this workout Friday in place of my originally planned STS 2.0 Body Parts Legs workout. My knee was being a bit fidgety back on Wednesday so I decided subbing in Functional Lower Body would be a good idea instead of insisting on heavy weights. Really enjoyed the workout. Did this with the...
