There goes Cathe, once again proving who's boss! You're so awesome to be even considering this, but of course we will wait for the right time because we all want you to be safe and healthy before anything else.

Congrats on the progress in your healing journey! In addition to what @Lady Vol Fan said, you could look into Stuart McGill's research on safe core training. He is one of the most respected researchers on how to manage back pain but it seems it could be beneficial for managing your neck...

Cathe, you are always in good spirits for us during Lives but your birthday cheer was off the charts in this one. So happy, fun, and sweaty. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day after this just as much!

That is news worth celebrating! Happy for you and your family that you are doing so well! Show that eye "who's boss!" :D

Love it when Al is in the house!!! A great UB workout, thank you Cathe.

Thanks for the clip! @forum_admin I'm confused with Cathe and crew are wearing the bands so high up on their legs? I remember Cathe always saying (like during the floor segment of Lower Body Blast) that you get more glute activation with the band lower, closer to the knees??? Thanks

Thank you for the update! So glad you are moving along in your recovery. Sounds like you are healing like a boss (no surprise there)! Great photo, especially that cute kitty wearing matching sunglasses. :cool:

Ditto! Please take care of yourself!

Take care of yourself, Cathe! Take all the time you need to heal. I'm so glad you listened to your body, observed the warning signs, and got the medical care you needed right away! Sending best wishes and virtual flowers to you and your family. Xoxo

Will these fabric bands and loops be used in future Cathe Live workouts?

Mom of 4 with healed DR here, so speaking from experience that yes, crunches should DEFINITELY be avoided while healing. Planks are controversial, and I still basically avoid them all together. Rule of thumb: Any exercise that makes your belly dome into a cone shape or a loaf shape is a...

Sometimes I notice that I (unintentionally) hold my breath during a strength rep or cardio move. I then breathe harder to compensate. Maybe that is coming into play here?

I also enjoyed this one! Thanks, Cathe

What a mood booster! So fun, festive, cheerful. @Cathe Friedrich how did you breathe through that Santa Beard mask?! :D Happy holidays, everyone!

@aqua girl Yes! I showed my engineer DH the bands you recommended and he figured a way to wrap our new Cathe bands with handles on our Rogue to make it work just like the Power Systems. It is awesome and I very much appreciate your input! Have a great holiday season. :)

I'm going to be honest, I did shout at you during the warm up with the lunge kicks into the side lunges into the lunge back knee up combo. I needed an 8 count walking break somewhere in there. My legs and lungs were on fire, and I thought "uh oh, is this what the whole workout is going to be...

Now I get it! Found the bands you're talking about and they look great. Thanks so much for going the extra mile, @aqua girl. I appreciate it. Off to go shopping for bands... :)

Thank you for the responses, ladies. Very helpful! I have tried before using the band just like Cedie did but it never felt like "enough" if you know what I mean. So @aqua girl and @Debinmi do you double up with two bands of the same resistance, or do you fold over a single band to double its...

I have a Rogue pull up system but long story short, even with pull-up assistance bands, pull-ups and I don't get along. Has anyone done STS without pull-ups and chin-ups? What exercises did you sub in? Meso 1 just has so many of them...help! TIA!

Same with me, @Hazlady. I do not know how Cathe can hold 2 dumbbells in one hand! One other thing I forgot to mention is that for me it is helpful to have Neoprene dumbbells. I have only found them in weights up to 20lbs so I can't use them for my heaviest weights, but they are way more...
