Hardcore Fitness Maniacs February 2026!

Cathe is selling all her stuff? Is she not going to offer stuff anymore? That seems odd.

This morning I did RAW Heavy Bag/Shadow Boxing with Zach. I wish she'd do more of these, I'm not much for kickboxing, I'd rather just do boxing. Anyways, had a great workout.

Workout was 34 minutes (I skipped the abs), burned 305 calories, HR was146/182 (my HR is off the charts, I am so stressed about my upcoming event. I just feel like I have no time this week) and I did 2025 steps.

Hope you all have a great day!!

Debbie - https://cathe.com/forum/threads/we’re-making-some-big-changes-here-at-cathe-dot-com.320972/ if you want dvd/stuff get it before it‘s gone.

I had the shingles and Pneumonia vaccine. I been trying to avoid getting the 2nd shingles shot, my rheum wanted me to get it. I am scheduled for the Intra-articular steroid injections next Monday. I talked to my rheumalogist, he thought I should get it to see if it helps with the pain. Not sure if I mentioned it? I stopped physical therapy on. It made the pain worse. I think after talking to my doc, they pulled on my leg which probably caused the pain in my hip.I still do pilates/yoga to strengthen my hip. I also didn‘t like the fact that I saw a different therapist every time. They also worked on 2 patients at a time.

I did yoga for the hips and a short Pilates. Both open up my hip. BBL

Today I did Elevate Barre Bootcamp, 48 minutes, 168 calories, heart rate 96/126. I had to be careful with those cross-back lunges because my knee does not like it. I finished with Elevate Mobility Timesaver #2, 31 minutes, 122 calories. I do not like all of the twisting and down dog stuff. I am okay with the short anytime mix, but had a hard time modifying with the flow of moves put together. I tried to avoid getting into the down dog and the twisting and it just did not work. It was disappointing.

Belinda, I had a pt that was like that. They set me up with a college student to monitor the moves I was supposed to do and set me up with the hot pillow and 10's and would spend a few minutes manipulating things and send me home. I did not get to see the same person every time. I did not like it at all. How can you discuss how things are going if you see different people. The last one I had was great. I hope they can help you figure out the pain. I got the email from Cathe's. I am disappointed as I like having the premixes available. That is the main reason I choose to get the dvds. Plus I have them all and feel spending money for on Demand would be a waste.

Debbie, nice work on Raw Heavy Bag and Shadow Boxing. I am getting a lot of shorter workouts in and missing days. I doubt I get in a workout tomorrow. We have to leave the house for 3 hours for an inspection. My dog is going to love sitting in the car for that long. I am sure he will be drooling and whining.
 
Good morning,

Taking a rest day today. Not feeling so well today. I have chills, headaches, I can‘t hardly lift my arm. My face is swollen. I had zero side effects with the first short. I hope by tomorrow it will pass.

Diane - good job on the barre bootcamp. I hear you on the premixes and OnDemand. The PT wasn‘t a good fit for me. They charged my insurance a lot of $$.

I am going to be back later.

This morning I did Iron 27 - Upper Body Superset Circuits. This was tough but I enjoyed it. I only have 3 more in this series to do. I can't believe I stuck with the whole thing. I think I skipped two glute workouts because I just felt it was overkill. I may look into some of her other series on Youtube. If any of you have done them, which one is a good one?

Alternate Renegade Row (I did Gorilla Rows w/Barbell): 40#
Pause at the Bottom Pushups
Did this superset 3 times

Pullover: 25#
Diamond Press: 25#
Did this superset 3 times'

Single Arm Hammer Press: 12# (R/L)

Tough one!

Single Arm Delt Flyes: 10# - 2 sets each side

Lateral Raise: 10's
Front Raise: 8's
2 sets

Finisher
Landmine Row: 25#
Pushup Burnout

Killer! Workout was 44 minutes, burned 187 calories and HR was 98/131.

Roselyn - Great job with your workout. Do you recall any of the other series that Caroline does that was fun? Which one would you suggest?

Have a great day everyone and a great weekend!

Hi,

I did a yoga this morning, deciding if I want to get a weight workout in today or not?

Tomorrow I get the steroid intra articular injection. I doubt I can workout tomorrow? I am getting a little nervous about the injection. We shall see. I do have a live zoom Pilates later today.

Diane - I hope you doing well.

Have a great Sunday, everyone,

Hi,

So my appointment for the steroid intra articular injection got canceled due to the weather. They canceled all the appointments before 10 am. I guess, I will have to wait for another date.

I did CL# 305 Burn Sets: Express legs heavy weights - 30 min + 30 min Standing Pilates.

I will check in later.
 
This morning I did Iron 30 - Arms, Abs and Core. I should have done #28, but it was a glute workout, 29 was a leg workout and I can't even walk right right now. LOL! I walked so much during Saturday's Solo & Ensemble - over 20,000, that I am still quite sore. So I did #30.

60/30

Dips: 2 sets
Close Grip DB Press: 15's - 2 sets
Skull Crusher: 12's - 2 sets

Ab work here. I did the first four exercises and stopped at the plank work.

Hammer Curls: 15's - 2 sets
Alternate Hammer Twist Curls: 15's - 2 sets

No workouts this weekend or today. We had the appraiser out today. Hopefully we are done with the visits and having to leave the house. I still have packing to do and time is getting short. We did a lot of packing and storage and small fixes this weekend. I did take time to go to take my granddaughter and her boyfriend to church with me yesterday. Then we went took them to lunch. I am hoping to work out tomorrow. I am going to pack up some stuff in the utility room. I got an email from Cathe on the last cycling workout Cathe had on dvd and it is arriving the 9th. I just set our mail to go to my daughter's house on the sixth so it may be floating around to reach it's destination.

Belinda, I am sorry you didn't get the injection because of weather. Nice work on CL # 305 burn sets express heavy legs burn sets. I am doing fine. Just weary from getting things together. One thing about the streaming is that I am not so worried about packing up a lot of my workouts. I picked a few to take with me to do at my daughter's knowing that I can get streaming if I want. They do have a gym in their house with a cable machine, weights and elliptical and climber. I am taking both sets of Lift Move and Restore workouts.

Debbie, nice work on Iron 30 arms abs and core. Wow on over 20,000 steps.

Roxie, nice work on Raw Band & Barre yesterday.
 
This morning I did RAW Kickboxing #7, had a good workout. Getting sort of tired of boxing workouts but I don't know what else to do.

Workout was 34 minutes, burned 266 calories, did 3475 steps and HR was132/162.

Diane - Do you guys have a house to move into yet? Or are you going to live with your daughter for a while? Sounds like such a huge endeavor. Yikes!!

Belinda - Sorry to hear you couldn't do your injection. We had bad weather here too.

Roselyn - Great job on your workout.

Where's Jolie??

Have a great day everyone!!
 
Hi,

Today I did live zoom dance plus Pilates Happy Hips.

I have a CT angio with contrast for my enlarged atery tomorrow. I will workout once I get home.

Diane - thank you. I hope they will call me soon for another appointment. DH is getting a hip replacement on Tuesday. I don‘t have time to get anything done. Yikes, on the move. Moving is a lot of work. Why did you move anyway? Are you moving into a smaller house? I hope everything goes smoothly and stress free. That is great your DD has a nice gym. I am sure you find different ways to workout. LMR is a good one.

Debbie - thank you. I will get one hopefully soon. Great job with Iron and KB today.

Have a great day and workout.
 
Today I attempted to do Iron 28 - Dumbbell Glute Workout. She really gets into working her glutes and this is why I skipped two of them. It's just too much. My glutes were screaming at me and I was only half way done with the workout. I stopped it and then went to RAW Glute Finisher. Kelly does some firewalker stuff in this on so I did that part of the workout. I think I've done this one before although it says it was posted only a month ago.

I won't list the exercises, all the same stuff as before - Hip Thrusts that go on and on, clam shells, leg lifts, etc. One more from the Iron series and I'm not sure what I will do next.

Workout was 39 minutes, burned only 169 calories, HR was 96/142.

Have a great workout today everyone!
