Thanks for joining in! I keep learning from everyone who posts, too. It's all a big bowl of awesomesauce!! ChelePA I hope you get a good report! bee you have mentioned another Cathe I want to try ..the original PHA. Thanks for confirming it needs to stay on my wish list. kittybug sounds like you found a rotation groove...great job! It's nice when that happens and I like the mix and match approach. Fitness Goddesses...I'm standing on the Slow and Heavy cliff and about to rappel it the next two weeks but only for upper body. My notes indicate I didn't care for the legs so I will be using Lean legs and abs and Great glutes instead. I will be mixing in Ellen's lighter cardio and, of course, plenty of mobility. My only issue is my appetite has really increased and I'm starting to get bored of my post workout fuel. If you all have some favorite websites or go-to ideas. Please share! Hope you all have a great Monday!

Thanks Taiga and Fanofladyvols for glute information. I almost always do glute activation exercises prior to my lower body workouts. I know that it does improve my loer body work.
Kittybug and Taiga- I am also waiting STS II. 45 minutes at tops would be ideal. I use the workout blender to shorten the STS workouts. I have gone through STS three times now. I did not do it the same any of the times. The first time I did the program as outlined. The second time I did it as an undulating rotation. The third time I exchanged many of the exercises for other ones that work the same muscle groups. Fanofladyvols- what do you currently consume for your post workout fuel? I love peanut butter so I incorporate it into many of my post workout nourishment meals. Bee- I too am so not a fan of repeating things! I use the workout blender to take out the repeats. I wish that more of Cathe's premixes would include a no repeat option. I can repeat muscle work exercises but cardio moves I do not like to repeat. ChelePA- How did you like Rev'd Up Rumble? I did Cathe's Bootcamp and Muscle Endurance Bonus premix this morning. I love the Cathe DVDs that combine segments of two workouts. I added in some extra chest work afterwards since today is my chest day. |

Hello friends and happy Monday.
This morning I looked past the old outfits and set and did Maximum Intensity Cardio..... well, the floor portion, not the whole long thing. It really ramped up! Cathe looks so cute in her youthful short hair! I'm not sure what I'm going to do the rest of the week..... this always happens for me in rotations. I hear what other people are doing and I want to change course. So, I will give it some thought today. For the first time in more than three weeks I'll leave my house today to go to Costco. I'm really afraid, to be honest! Not looking forward to this. Cheers.....

My husband wants to go for a walk today after work because it's such a gorgeous day. I decided to sneak in something quick before he got home. I chose Lite Strong Body Stacked Sets, Upper. Perfect ! 35 minutes and it's done. Cathe doesn't really use heavy weight in this at all. I was able to match her weights on most exercises and that NEVER happens.
ChelePA, do you have the Lite series? The Stacked Upper Body is just that, only upper body exercises. It would be a good one for you now. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm fighting to stay positive today. I guess we all have those days. Kim |

horusosiris thanks for the peanut butter reminder...I will add to my protein shake. Ok so here's what I have been cycling through: cottage cheese with fresh fruit and toasted seeds, protein shakes with fresh greens and frozen fruit of some kind, Greek yogurt with fresh fruit and toasted seeds. I had been doing boiled eggs but I'm trying to conserve those. So I do get creative varying the choice of fruit in the shake and the flavor of the Greek yogurt. But I have been doing these since January ...they work great but yeah need something else.
kim hang in there. .it is discouraging to hear the number of cases ...I try to focus on the increasing number of recoveries. I hope you are able to walk outdoors today and glance around at something spring like and beautiful! bee I totally understand your apprehension. I have to go out and get milk and some other necessities and I dread the hunt from store to store and looking at the empty empty shelves. I plan on focusing on what I am able to purchase and not the constant risk. I can't function at the level I need to if I don't. Today is a day dedicated to mobility. Found a great BJ Gaddour YouTube and will add CS to the longer foam rolling workout. Practice singing the song in your heart ...hugs Fitness Goddesses

Hello everyone and happy Monday!
Welcome horusosirus! I like your screen name--I'm a fan of Egyptian mythology--any mythology really. I'm all in on the peanut butter. It is definitely food of the gods IMHO, Egyptian and otherwise. I have been known to snack on a spoonful of it. I prefer the kind that is just peanuts and a little salt. Yesterday I did Power Hour followed by Step Heat. Power Hour was tough! The first section seemed like endless squats. Cathe calls this a high rep workout, which it is, but she sure uses weights that are pretty heavy for how fast the movements are. At least IMHO. I didn't use as much barbell weight as Cathe, and I sometimes substituted dumbbells for barbells. It was a good workout and I did like the music. Even the howling woman who bothered me in Rhythmic Step didn't bother me here. Step Heat is fun, HOT, and I couldn't take my eyes off the orange and gold aluminum foil wallpaper. kittybug, our Maine Coon is a mellow guy, but also doesn't take any crap from the little poop disturber that is the youngest feline resident. I'm glad to see him push his "brother" away when he gets out of hand. bee, don't you just love the Maine Coon personality? It's like having a dog that meows and purrs. manley, I have Upper Body Stacked Sets. Thanks for the rec! I'll get to it eventually. I'm feeling like at the rate I'm going it will be months until I hit the 2000s regularly! kim, we have really been avoiding the news since it's so upsetting and so much is out of our control. It's been a challenge. {{hugs}} Waves to our ever expanding fierce group!! |

Today I did a Live download that I had purchased. It was a cardio workout that used the stability ball, mat, fitness loops, dumbbells, and "freestyle." Maybe because I did a lot yesterday, or maybe because I'm just getting "older and slower", but it seemed very tough! There is an older woman who participates in some of the Lives I've seen and I always watch her since I think she is probably close to my age. She was really keeping up so I felt like kind of a wimp when she did all the (&*! one armed burpees and I modified like crazy. Good for her!
Tomorrow will be a rest day---may take a walk. I have done the freebie lives for today but I "might" try one tomorrow if there is one that is different. I'm almost hoping there isn't one since I probably need a day off! Waves to all!! |
