Update?

I'm really hoping that more information will be shared during the process this go-round. I recall that Cathe had to put out a video rationalizing the lack of communication for LMR1 because folks were so frustrated about the delays and the radio silence.
 
I'm coming to accept this is kinda the new norm now. I'm not in control of what's happening on the production and customer service side. I suppose if I'm really disgruntled, I can speak with my wallet and cancel my pre-order.

Not there yet, though. On the scale of things to be disgruntled about in my life, this is low, low, loooowwwwwww on the totem pole.
 
Requests for an update isn't a complaint nor should it be characterized as one. It is all part of the waiting process on an upcoming release...and I'm sure Cathe et. Company expect.( If everyone didn't care about the status that would certainly be no bueno, lol!!!) But whether other customers desire an update doesn't diminish the reasonable expectation of the OP et others to receive some sort of a response. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
 
I've always enjoyed the updates - everything from building excitement to helping me determine how I plan to use it when it arrives. This time, though, I've had to start working out again from a long time away from it, and while I'm proud that I got started... I'm still struggling. I'll get there, but there's something about the teasers, updates, and blog chat that always used to encourage me to push a little harder on my next workout. It got me excited again. I'm hoping for that "feeling" again. I know... motivation needs to come from within (lol), but right now... I'd enjoy those little external motivators, until I see enough progress/results that I start feeling like I'm doing more than just "plugging away". I have no idea if that makes sense, but the excitement that updates create on the blog are kind of "catching". I don't even have a smart phone (so no addiction here lol). I'm on a laptop. I just like the social aspect of working out and looking forward to something together - the community is supportive and fun and updates give people something in common to talk about. :)

No complaints here. I don't expect a constant flow of info: something I think too many people expect due to smart phone addiction. I'm happy to wait, let them put their valuable time and energy into production, then, as they can, sprinkle in a few teasers.

Same here, :cool: :)I am quietly and patiently waiting revisiting previous releases.

There is way too many rotations and toys to happily play around instead of checking the smart device frantically.

Hey Cathletes who enjoy little updates ... there's a little video today on Cathe's FB page with a little sneak peek.

She says she’s fine tuning the series. I’m hoping for late summer but won’t be surprised if it’s released in the fall. And that’s fine. I can work with any date, but I like to know the date, so I can plan rotations that complement what this series does. Now, I’m planning a more challenging rotation for September/October.
 
I placed my pre-order on Day 1, and check back here every now and then to see the progress. At this point, I've been conditioned to read "Summer" as "Late Fall", and set my expectations accordingly. Looks like I am still on target ;-) See y'all again in a few weeks :)
 
Wow! @snowlover IMHO that's not at all an appropriate response to someone merely asking a question. You think it's the customer's fault that NO updates were provided until the video posted in the last couple of days? Social media and/or phone usage is completely irrelevant, and nobody has been asking for "constant" updates. One every week or so would be okay with me, especially as it's been several months since the initial presale ended.

I was glad to see the video posted with a taste of what's to come!
 
yes, I know that Cathe is more often late than on time in releasing a new series. I just want more information. i have concerns about this series. i have made no secret of the fact I don’t need another recovery series. Asking for more information is not about wanting to play with my phone. LMR has a place, like returning from a layoff for whatever reason. I have been doing the STS2& LMR rotation, because with the amount of outdoor work I have right now, backing off a bit this spring feels right. That being said, I want to see how elevated it is. I purchased the series with doubts. I still have doubts. the heavy weights workouts are a big part of why I purchased this, along with the cardio. still, what is LMR2 going to be like?

I hope you, and others, get a response for an update on the bonuses and more developed descriptions of the workouts soon.
 
I just want to see/download those bonus heavy weight workouts. Under the impression they were offered to tie us over while we wait for the series to come out.

I'm happily plugging along with my modified XTrain rotation for now, though. It's feeling plenty interesting and varied for me, and since I'm coming off a period of lower activity, I'm enjoying experiencing the improvements in my strength and aerobic capabilities.

I'm thinking if this new series doesn't come out by the time I'm done with this rotation (early August), I will try an STS 2 with cardio rotation variation.

Of course, hoping to be able to plug in those heavy weight bonuses, at least...

Time will tell.

I'm not thrilled with the animal moves and forward/back hopping I'm seeing for cardio moves

LOL! I know, when I saw that hopping up/back in that little video, I thought Oh No! :)
although she might show a modification of stepping up/back, like in one of the FitTower
workouts where she does something similar and that’s the modification she does in it.
 
Yep, I think I remember that one! I love modifiers…:)….especially some that show a
couple different “levels”, (I guess you’d call it that) sometimes I follow one and try
another, etc.

Today I did KS's TimeSaver Cardio Fat-burning on VHS, so it's old --- but she had lots of modifiers. It did NOT detract from the workout at all IMO. I did all sorts of the variations and it made it a fun workout.

One of my favorite KS workouts was her Lower body firming. Do you know the one I'm talking about? KS did the intermediate level and she had one doing advanced and another doing a beginner modification simultaneously... literally one of the best videos I've ever owned because the workout is fun and the modifiers are either fully viewable or the camera routinely returns to them and, you're right, it's not distracting at all.
