I'm sure tariffs are just clobbering her (or making her have to pass on the costs to her customers). It's not just shipping costs - I'm sure everything else is getting expensive - such as the cost of blank DVDs, the cases, etc. I'll be sad, too, if she eventually drops DVDs altogether, though I...

Another visit of a workout that's been out a long time. I purchased it during the flash sale over Labor Day for $5. I don't have very many workouts from the Low Impact Series. Just this one and the two yoga workouts. I was expecting something really intense with this workout, so I was pretty...

@Braille thanks for sharing your story. I resonate on some levels as I was married to an emotionally abusive alcoholic. I'm sure the narcissistic characteristics were similar. I agree - they don't get better unless they really, really strive to change and surround themselves with a healthy...

So, I've finally finished going through the ICE series and feel like I can post my thoughts on it here. I remember viewing the clips of these workouts way back when it first released and thinking to myself "these don't look intermediate to me, they look advanced." I kind of still hold to that...

No - I'm eyeballing it. I forget, is that one a slow and heavy workout, or was it something in between - some real heavy, some light/endurance? I remember doing it like once back when I had the OnDemand subscription. And, of course, at that time I had to sub with dumbbells.

I just feel so dang strong doing the Pendlay rows. I was able to try them with my new barbell, too. Something about using the barbell for it made me feel even more powerful. I like the gorilla rows, too. It's been a long time since I've done the STS 2.0 BP Back workout, and I balked at my...

Not sure how far along she is with it, but putting in a request! IF the fourth free download is, in fact, back and biceps, please please squeeze in some Pendlay rows. I just love those things.

Thanks for confirming that she did 11 reps there! It wasn't just me.

Oh, I did it because I wanted to try it, for sure, and will work it into future rotations, just not sure how often at this point. To tackle Back and Bi's (since they were absent in this workout), I'm going to do one of the Back/Bi premixes from STS 2's Body Parts Back & Body Parts Biceps DVD...

Excited to get to do this workout today. I really liked it. Give me heavy weights with slow reps and decent rests, you'll have me easily pleased. :) Most of the sets in this workout consist of 10 reps. She does a few where she reduces it to 6-8 reps, as well, which is appreciated. For example...

To my knowledge, STS 2's total body workouts (Giant Sets, Super Sets, and Tri Sets) are her heaviest total body strength workouts. If you participated in her upcoming Lift, Move & Restore Elevated pre-release, she has a wonderful heavy total body metabolic workout with the bonus downloads. It's...

Oh! I love Muscle Max. Muscle Endurance and Pyramid Pump are great, too. And I also love Travel Fit. Yes, for Muscle Max and Travel Fit, she uses bands - they're worth it and if you get into more and more of her workouts, you'll find she uses them quite a bit, so you'll get your money's worth...

PS - this wraps up my posts about the Strong & Sweaty series - thanks for humoring me. I was considering doing the same with ICE, since I'm also working my way through all of that series as an ICE newbie, but felt it might get a bit eye-roll inducing (Oh - Kelly's posting ANOTHER review of a...

I was pleasantly surprised with this workout. I was low-key dreading its day when it popped up on my rotation, only because I'm used to any Cathe workout with the name "Boot Camp" being really intense. (Looking at you in particular, Intensity Series.) Yes, I did get to panting quite a bit, but...

Thanks for posting this - just a note - her Thumb-to-Thumbs she's using 5 lb weights, not 15. ;)

Oh good - she's still releasing at the beginning of the month. Was starting to worry since they weren't talking it up as much as they did the first two workouts. Yes, I'm sure the next one will be Back & Bis - and maybe she'll tag on some core, too. Not personally a fan of UB split workouts -...

Congratulations and welcome! So happy you gave Cathe a try. I've found over the years that her strength training workouts feel far less intimidating than her cardio workouts, if that's helpful to you at all while choosing which next workout to dip your toe in. If you've got the DVD that has...

Anyone take advantage of the $5 DVD Labor Day offers? She's got 20 titles in the offer. I decided to go ahead and bite - I purchased Ab Circuits, Cardio SuperSets, and FlexTrain.

Confession: This workout popped up in my rotation yesterday. Just couldn't bring myself to do it. I opted for the cardio section of 4-Day Split's Bootcamp workout. That one I actually had fun doing. (Haven't done it in a long, long, time, either, so it was nice to revisit.)

Tackled this workout this morning. Definitely a good sweat. I enjoyed the music with this one. I liked that she didn't go super heavy with the weights given the pace that was kept. Most of the exercises are 12 reps. I found I could go a bit heavier on the off-the-side squats and the cross-back...
