Free download #3

I'd be surprised if it's cardio - she's marketed them as being all heavy strength training workouts (which, however, can have a cardio effect.)
I would be too.

I must have read somewhere the four free bonus would be enough as a mini set. Enough to make a rotation.

So far we have had a total and a lower. We are, at this point, due to discover two missing puzzles for #3 and #4 (I should correct my post above)
Hmmmm as far as balance is concerned from a full rotation point of view, an upper is more likely to be offered for the same reps range.

Since I tend to think out and loud lol , there is way many high reps in the entire collection than lows. This is not what many want to hear but it's a fact.
Did you ladies and gents read the bonus workout description? There's still more high reps coming from the main series

To recap, #3 could be an upper or a yoga or even a recovery bonus. Core is also one of cathe's strength. A standing abs and core. This guess game is making me giddy lol

Hang in there folks, There's still a long time till the release ☺️

I'd guessed in another thread that one would be an UB workout, and the other a TB workout that's not metabolic (more along the lines of, say, STS 2 Super Sets).
 
It's funny - I was reading some people's comments on the LB bonus workout on her FB feed that they'd also had DOMs for three whole days after doing it. That was one serious LB workout! I've weaved it into my next rotation. Will be interesting if I have 3 days of DOMs again.
 
Then it's still a mystery as to the 4th if it's a complete UB. A Circuit? Another TB - straight lifting, not metabolic? TB - endurance based? Hmmmm.... the mystery continues....:)
I would be really surprised for one of #3 or # 4 to be a circuit.
Circuit is on high rep range. light weight.

We shall all bare in mind that those free bonuses are being marked to cater fitness enthusiasts keen on Heavy stuff. Here below are links which bear out my quote.

@Kellyro77 previously mentioned it.


WHAT'S INCLUDED?​

Lift, Move & Restore 2: Elevated! consists of 7 new workouts that will take our functional training up to the next level in intensity, in challenge, and in sweat factor. We will re-visit some of the workout types from the original series, but with a new flair that gives them fresh energy.

These 4 bonus workouts will be low impact cardio routines (with options to be mixed impact) and can be used with the series to add some extra heart healthy benefits to your workout schedule. I really think you will love these new workouts as they are the perfect sequel to a series that has very quickly become beloved...plus I've already been cooking up some really fun choreography for them!!!

While we will, as always, work as quickly as we can to get these workouts out to you, we know that waiting on presales can be rough, so let's talk about an ADDED BONUS! Yes! You know I love my "bonuses hot"!
MANY of you requested heavy weight training workouts in my recent series suggestions post and I heard you! While Lift, Move & Restore 2: Elevated! will not include slower, heavy weight training, it WILL (as an extra incentive) include 4 slower and heavier weight workout downloads that I will be filming with my cast separately and will be available to ONLY those that pre-order the new Lift, Move & Restore 2: Elevated! series.
These heavy weight downloads will be released one at time throughout the presale period as a pre-sale only bonus, so don't wait if you want to start enjoying the FREE downloads as they are released!
The heavy weightlifting download workouts are being filmed as a "pre-release" THANK YOU to so many of you that take part in our presales and then wait patiently for the project to be completed and delivered to your door.


HTH and reply to all questions!
 
I'd guessed in another thread that one would be an UB workout, and the other a TB workout that's not metabolic (more along the lines of, say, STS 2 Super Sets).
:D :D :D
How about a total or a UB on 6 or 8 rep range to satisfy the need of extreme folks?
Let's tell all our fantasy on this thread lol:D

This fantasy of mine here above is part of what has been marketed.
 
That was one serious LB workout! I've weaved it into my next rotation. Will be interesting if I have 3 days of DOMs again.
Please let us know how you feel.

With or without doms it is a tough challenging workout. It is similar to lower body STS2 with few second rest. The one you rave about;)
 
Then it's still a mystery as to the 4th if it's a complete UB. A Circuit? Another TB - straight lifting, not metabolic? TB - endurance based? Hmmmm.... the mystery continues....:)
My thought on this is: Let's cross that bridge when we get to it.
That is my thinking/reasoning.
 
No, sorry. It doesn't answer all questions lol! And let's not forget, the UB/LB/TB workouts in the series are using 5-15# Dbs as opposed to the 3-12# in the original LMR series - so it's only a little elevated! If the cardio follows the same idea - we may be seeing ZONE 2 cardio.
Personally I do not care for cardio. if I want all out or 70´% rpm, there are other cathe series to reach out for or I can make myself a mini circuit.

Cathe knows what she is doing. From the content of her programs to the way she understand and run the business. Catering for heavy folk offering free download is thoughtfull business decision. It is not a random decision.
 
I'd guessed in another thread that one would be an UB workout, and the other a TB workout that's not metabolic (more along the lines of, say, STS 2 Super Sets).
That's my guess as well as what I'm hoping for. Cathe has a few lower body only workouts, so I'd love an upper that I could pair with them or use with the lower body #2 that she just released. #1 was metabolic, so a total body that doesn't have as much emphasis on cardio would be nice. I can always use another total body workout - especially one that's on the shorter side side (40-45 minutes) for those days that I don't have an hour. I'd LOVE a total body strength yoga, but since these are focusing on heavy weights, I don't think that's going to happen. Somebody mentioned abs, but I'm hoping for a total body where she includes abs in it. I'm really really hoping for a complete upper body workout, because my collection feels "unbalanced" with more lower than upper workouts. lol I'd wondered about the possibility of a total body using just body weight? But then I remembered that she'd said these would be heavy weights, AND these are being released before her LMR2 (functional fitness), and there are a lot of body weight exercises that strain the wrists and other parts of the body. Since "recovering" is part of the series, maybe it would be difficult to have a body-weight workout that doesn't cause more strain than necessary to recover from? The mystery will continue. I am really hoping (no reason to believe it will happen - just dreaming lol) that she incorporates a kettlebell into LMR2 - at least for an ab workout. It seems functional to me, but I might be looking at it wrong?

I love cardio, but I don't enjoy it WITH my strength training. I am currently having trouble with lower body workouts due to the cardio effect they have on me, but even before... when that wasn't an issue... I've always preferred to really focus on strength by itself. I get a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment out of strength. Where cardio... it's more about fun. I don't have fun with metabolic workouts (my "fun factor" kicks in for kickboxing and step and that kind of thing), and I don't get that sense of satisfaction/accomplishment from metabolic, because it feels like I'm getting "too much" out of it to the point that I'm not putting into it what I would with a non-metabolic workout. I don't know how to explain it, but my ability to focus is hindered to the point that I know I'm not getting as much out of it as someone that can focus better during that type of workout. When menopause hit... my focus got even worse. lol So, I really like to stick with focusing on one thing (cardio vs. strength) at a time to guarantee I'm getting the full benefits from my workout.
 
But Cathe doesn't sell kettlebells and she has said she only will use equipment she sells to generate sales for her products.
Really?

I do not recall Cathe having made such statement.
She still uses/line up gliding devices despite not selling any at this point.

In my opinion, kettlebell is not one safest equipment to use at home.
That is the reason Cathe does not use it in classes therefore sell it.
She would Not offer a class without holding an certification to teach kettlebell classes.

I'd like kettlebells incorporated too! And have asked. But Cathe does include some single Db swings that you can sub in a kettlebell in a few of her workouts. And you can sub one in core work where she uses a Db. And yes, ketllebell swings are considered to be one of the best functional exercises! But Cathe doesn't sell kettlebells and she has said she only will use equipment she sells to generate sales for her products.
She used to sell a 4# medicine ball with a removable kettlebell handle (purple and black). I'd always hoped she'd use use it in a video with the handle on. I have thought about trying to sub the kettlebell in for a dumbbell, but with it only being 4#, I didn't think I'd get as good of a workout. I don't want to invest in a heavier one, because I don't think I'd be confident using it without her and the crew modeling it for me. I probably should spend some time looking up technique and form for using a kettlebell. Maybe then I'd feel safe subbing one in. At this age... I worry about risk of injury. I guess that's why I thought it would be a great addition (even just as a bonus) to Cathe's LMR2. I think it could be a good way to ramp up the intensity of the HIIT and Low Impact cardio too? Since LMR2 is about functional fitness... I know she's do a good job of making sure we're using it safely in a way that benefits our bodies. Wishful thinking though.
 
As far as safety goes, they're no less safe than dumbells and barbells if you are trained in how to properly use them.
I think you missunderstood my quote. I know about Cathe statement. I think we shall all settle the kettlebell discussion by agreeing that there will never be a series coming from catdotcom. In my opinion, not just because cathe is not selling the equipment. My understanding being there are various reason which include business profitability. BTW i do own cathe discs way back when she launched it. I believe I must have the discs and the cloth in my storage.

I know from fact, Cathe professionalism starts from holding a license/certification for classes she offers. She did make a statement about having to hold a certification as a requirement. Certification is requirement to consider offering a class.

That being said I have not done kettlebell recently but the first one I touched was decade ago from another good instructor (I can not recall the name). I must have two or 3 kettlebell systems in my storage. it is not new to me at all and I do own few kettlebells. No, i have used the toy and I do not find it less safe either. I can follow instruction and use it correctly.

Cathe may not have certification in kettlebells & may not want to use them cuz people who don't have them might complain that Cathe's workouts are too equipment heavy anyways.
*raises hand* um - that would be me - lol. I don't want kettlebells. I've got limited space and don't want to crowd it up with yet more equipment. I refuse to get the FitTower, Barbell, giant round mat, or the Dip/Pullup bars because of this, too.

And I'm with Braille in my dislike of combination cardio + lower body workouts (looking at YOU, XTrain Cardio Leg Blast :mad: ). Hate 'em. Will I do them...? Yes, begrudgingly. I know they offer results and variety, but still can't stand them.

I know other people love that kind of system. I'm just glad Cathe offers quite a bit of variety where LB workouts are concerned - heavy strength, endurance, circuit, floor work only. I have lots of choices if I see a cardio + lower body workout pop up in my rotation. I can say "Nope! I think I'll opt for heavy strength instead."
 
Fair enough. I have few kettlebell system in my storage but I do not necessarily need to do them now.

I have not run out of variety in my routine.
