New Workouts!!!!

[Hazlady]

Hoping they are somewhat “wrist friendly “ ..

Me too, and "shoulder friendly". I find even if I go to my elbows to save my wrists, my shoulders get sore.

 

[mpina]

Agreed, Mpina. My knees refuse to do them anymore!

Mine can’t handle them anymore as well

Yep, I experience that as well!

 

[Lady Vol Fan]

I second that!

I third wanting steady state cardio!

Squats are pretty functional. My sister and I were just chuckling about how those "nasty low-ends" and "sit n' stands" helped us be able to use public restrooms without having to actually sit....

Ain't that the truth? I always know squats help me to hover to avoid ick at rest stops and poison ivy on hikes!!

(But do echo omitting or seriously reducing the occurrence of lunges no matter how functional they are, lol)

 

[aqua girl]

I hope they are in the 30-45 min range.

I hope they are in the 30-45 min range.

Me too. I struggle to fit in longer workouts.

I'm excited for the variation this will provide. I'm still in a spot where I can go heavy and higher intensity (minus my current back issues), but even then, I need a mental and physical break from ultra heavy and ultra intense workouts, and I do think I'm needing the break more and more often. All the recovery days in STS 2.0 made it really clear to me that my body appreciates frequent rests.

Just no more HiiT, please! LOL. Even if it's low-impact. I'm sooo tired of HiiT. Just give me steady state cardio.

Me too. I would love a few more steady state than just the Party Rockin’ steps, and Step Moves types. I like HIIT, but need a break from them with more steady state variety.

 

[LJB]

They come in handy for us female backwoods campers too!

Yes, Squats, and especially lunges help my knees. Sometimes, if I have a flare up, I can only do shallow moves, but otherwise they are very functional and strength enhancing, even using body weight.

 

[Gobias]

Yes! Steady state cardio. Either step or 80's style floor would by my dream.

 

[Lady Vol Fan]

I hope they are in the 30-45 min range.

At least have premixes in that range! I find I use those most of all with making room for mobility.

Since we're throwing out wishes...

There are times when it would be also REALLY helpful if one of the background exercises was doing the routine with the modifications ( like for shoulder, knee, wrist, ankle issues.) I think the very nature of this series is ideal for that.

Excellent “wish”!

 

[rcsaros]

I hope they are in the 30-45 min range.

I would love this range. My main workouts in the morning are no more than 45 minutes just so I can add in a stretch or yoga stretch.

I agree, a modifier would be great for this.

 

[disey]

so the new workout series will not be available on my Cathe on Demand/Cathe Live as i subscribe to both of those???

 

[disey]

the only way to get the new series is to purchase them as opposed to all the other series that become available on demand within a period of time???

 

[aqua girl]

It will be on OnDemand…..they will add the new workouts a day or so after the
dvds ship.

 

[disey]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY---I feel so relieved---I live for On Demand and Cathe Live so the new addition at age 68 is so welcomed
thank again for your positive reply

 

[Cathe Friedrich]

I'm ready to pre-order! This is exactly what I need for those days in between harder workouts! YAY! Wow, Cathe is wonderful, so glad she is my main and only trainer I use. Thank you Cathe!!!!

Thank YOU

 

[Cathe Friedrich]

Just saw this! I normally prefer all out explosive high intensity and heavy weights....but love to sprinkle these in when needed (and it has been more often lately!)

Cathe - I hope you have premixes that has standing or upright only options. I just had surgery and have to keep my head above my chest. I have been doing your Senior Fit exercises and Chair yoga (STS 2.0), but am able to go a bit harder...while keeping upright. You have several easier workouts, but I can't lie down or bend down yet.

Glad to hear you are recovering well and are finding wonderful options as you do

 

[Cathe Friedrich]

Cathe, I could cry. Thank you so much for informing us about this up and coming new series.

I have been an avid exerciser for 44 years now but things have recently changed and I can no longer drag out my weights or Reebok step. I have all but your very latest set of dvds and wondered if this was the end of my exercise journey with you as my back isn't very cooperative anymore. I really only do your yoga flow nowadays and that's about it.

It's been a heart-breaking journey, but I feel like I have something to look forward to now with this functional fitness programme by you. My physio has just told me to change my mindset and consider functional fitness instead. This is good timing.

I can't wait!

Thank you again.

I’m here …we’ve got this
