Free download #3

I
I started using kettlebells around 2 years ago, maybe 3. I asked on this forum & got some good advice about where to start and the sizes to start with. I even received a number of PM's from Cathletes about follow-along videos to try that have good instruction (I dont think they felt comfortable suggesting other workout instructors on Cathe's forum). There's a good posting on videofitness.com on getting started too (I think it's by Lady Vol Fan :) ). Take a look! They're fun!
Here is the thread discussing kettlebell system. I believe the suggestion you are referring to are from this thread.


I have completed this below in the past.
 
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 am laughing so hard!!! lol "begrudgingly is the perfect description of my attitude towards those type of workouts. lol
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."
Cathe's quality, quantity, and variety of workouts amazes me! Lower body isn't something I look forward to, but I can usually get mentally "into it" once I start, if it's strength focused only.

@Braille
You are free to go for a type of training you "like/love" CLB contrast training is strength focused. You can hate it but someone else can love and enjoy it while she or he is strengthening the posterior chain muscles I previously mentioned. He or she is doing HER. You do you!

Hope you manage to find a way to increase the weight holding a pretty form. I 'my referring to your question regarding deadlift.

In meantime you can focus on fixing muscles. From physio may be . Good luck!

This thread has way deviated unnessarily phew!

She has a lot of products these days! It makes business sense to focus on workouts where she can provide the equipment. I can’t buy equipment from her, postage is too high. For that matter, same goes for DVDs. I do downloads now.
I would like to try kettlebells. Might look into the YouTube options this fall. I think they are great for power workouts.
 
Hi all,
anyone knows if the free download #3 will be upper or cardio or something else? I know that it will be realised on september 1 but I'm just curious.
We should have details of Download #3 in few days. We are about to find out the content.
It is almost mid August and download #3 is due for release September. Stay tuned @chiara
 
So I opened the forum this AM and saw i had some '"angry" likes in this posting, then saw i had a new PM from the person giving out all the angry faces (@FitSaxe). I'm making it public as I believe in transparency:

Quote" I have read the snarky comment being result of interaction between both of you.
I still see ignored-users interactions.

I am invisiting both of you to stay away from my post, opinions and reviews!
This is a polite notice to stop you from stalking my posts!

You do not need any review from anyone cause you guys know it all!

I shall remind you I am entitled to complain to cathe dot com!" End QUOTE

This is an open forum. ALL opinions are welcome as are any comments and replies. I won't be threatened into silence and will feel free to post where I want. If you don't care to read them, skip them, or hit the IGNORE button on my profile. Geezzz.
 
Ganging up together like in the past is not going to intimidate me either.
Please kindly mind your own business. She is not a victim here. This bullying attitude has not started now.
I think you are the bully. You need to cool your heels. This is usually a nice forum until you engage in your harassment techniques! Don't PM me again! It's unwelcome!

You did contradict yourself a number of times trying to contradict every one of my posts & acting as though you know everything Cathe is thinking & doing. It was a funny post IMO! :)

I know there are benefits to CLB, which is why I wish I enjoyed it more. I'm in no way putting down any form of fitness or what other people like or prefer. I meant no insult. I was just laughing at Kellyro77's comment. I was not laughing or mocking her, CLB, or what other people like for their workouts. We all have preferences, and I have a sense of humor (maybe an odd sense of humor?), but I could really relate to her comment and found it funny. It sounds like she has a sense of humor too, and I enjoyed that. :) I've learned that life's too short too not smile and laugh every time we get a chance. I'm just happy - didn't mean for that to offend. My being happy IS part of me doing me. :)
