Today was Day 11 of the rotation: Functional Upper Body. I went 1 - 2 increments higher than Cathe in all of the moves and found it a better challenge than the first time. This morning I also did some yoga: Blissology On Demand's 19 minute "Lean and Serene in Just 19". It's a great one for...

Thank you for sharing all of that! You really sound like a trooper! Do you use any other instructors besides Cathe?

I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with sickness for so long! But wow, you made it to 60 before menopause? That’s amazing! Have you tried the upper body balance disc bonus? I’m curious how someone with a compromised shoulder would find those moves? I like your style. Alternating...

Day 8 of the rotation was scheduled as Core Fusion and while I haven’t done that one yet, I wanted something different. I wanted cardio, and upper/lower, so I decided to make it a Bonus day. I did, therefore, the Bonus Low Impact Cardio, the Bonus Lower Body Balance Discs, and the Bonus Upper...

Day 7 of the rotation was LMR Functional Barre Fusion, using the balance disk, ball, chair, and 3 lb dumbbells. This workout felt like a collection of greatest hits from my physiotherapist! Total Body Physio it could have been called! It's great! The use of the balance disks meant that my hips...

It's great to meet a like-minded fitness friend, Deanna! May I ask what you are rebuilding stamina from? An injury? Or a lengthy break from exercising? I'm 54 and trying to shore up my body from the last 5 years of going into menopause, having a bulging disk in my lower back, plantar fasciitis...

Today, Day 7 of the rotation, was meant to be Cardio Supersets. I had no opportunity to do a workout today, however. The only thing I managed was a 25 minute yoga routine this morning (Blissology On Demand’s “Empty Mind, Full Light). It was a day to go to the office, which always gives me a...

Thank you!

Day 6 of the rotation is Functional Total Body, and I have a lovely glow on from it now. There is no dread factor in these workouts! I do wonder, though, what we're meant to key in on, to know whether we're using the right weight. I use Cathe's weight, or an increment higher, and I don't come to...

Cardio Party, Rev’d Up Rumble, and Step Sync are my favourite cardios from Cathe these days. They’re intense enough for me, they’re fun, and they have great music! If you haven’t tried the CP Calorie Crush yet, I think you’ll really like it! In the premix they double up on the step/blast combo...

Day 5 of the rotation was meant to be a rest day, so I decided to do a workout of choice. That wound up being LITE Cardio Party w/u + Cardio Crush + c/d (28 minutes). That's a fun little step routine that gets your heart rate right up there. I followed this workout with a 20 minute Blissology...

I completed Day 4 of the rotation, doing LMR Functional Yoga Fusion, and a 15 minute indoor walking workout with Get Fit With Rick (free workouts on YouTube). In all, a gentle hour of exercise that left me mildly sweaty and invigorated. A good day.

Woohoo! I completed LMR Functional Lower Body today. One of my all-time favourite workouts! My heartrate gets up there, I sweat, and my hips feel delicious at the end of it all. Bootylicious! I was meant to do this workout yesterday, but had a family matter that needed my attention so only had...

Hello! I'm planning on doing the Low Impact Cardio rotation in the Lift, Move & Restore User Guide. I'll be subbing whatever suits my mood on the cardio days, as I'm not a fan of HIIT training. I prefer steady-state fun, choreographed cardio such as Step Sync. I will also be adding LMR bonuses...

Hi Aquajock - another long-time Cathlete lurker here (it’s been ages, hasn’t it?). I’m so sorry for your loss. So very sorry. The shock must still be setting in. Reading through your post, two things came to mind. First, you know Tina so well, you’ve been in a relationship with her for such a...

Hi Cathe! As I sit here contemplating my fitness journey and where I’d like to go next, it occurred to me that I would love to be able to turn on some Cathe Pep Talks, perhaps in Cathe Live. What do you think of the idea of filming some short (5 minutes or so) pep talks? You wouldn’t have to...

Yesterday I did her Live Cardio Party routine, and she uses two main segments from the LITE Cardio Party as the warm up and the cool down! The middle is old fashioned aerobics and intensity blasts. So, yeah....

Hi Cathe, I was just reading an article about changes to fitness regimes once people turn 50, and I'm about to turn 50 this year, and much of the article resonates with me, particularly the bit about taking recovery and rest very seriously, getting enough sleep, and prioritizing mobility work...

How about blending portions of StepSync and IMAX4? Or do half of Step Sync, followed by half of IMAX4?

Go back to her early step routines; I recommend Step Jam. She uses the 8" step in those, but if you're a beginner, use the step top only. Those early workouts are broken down into three clear, separate sections, with each section getting a little more complicated and advanced. You can focus on...
