I'm not fan of bands workouts (I never get the tension right!) so I'm going to pass on this one. It's really great that the workouts are already filmed. I think it's a first for her. I wonder why they're not available earlier. Maybe, it's because the bands aren't?

Well I don't have any inside info on the difference in Cathe's announcement but I do wonder if it had to do with making sure she could get DVD distribution lined up.
I notice we haven't heard boo from KCM on new DVDs so it does make you wonder if they are having to find different channels because of covid? Plus she's been feediddling so long with getting the yoga mat rollout that ALSO makes me wonder if it's a boondoggle getting the bands lined up. I think it's a slugfest right now getting things out of a factory.. rolling off a boat... and in a warehouse.

Hi Watulans!
My dr. appt is tomorrow afternoon, and yes, I'm keeping it. I want to rule out something serious, and hopefully that's what my visit will do. Even if it's something circulatory, which I'm concerned about, it will need treatment. So it is a feeling of tightness in the belly of the calf muscle that varies in intensity but is worse when I've been sitting for any length of time. Ironically it feels better the longer I use it--whether in a workout or just walking and doing my every day things. Meanwhile, DH has his 2nd follow up on Wednesday including an X ray so we will know how his healing is progressing. I appreciate the good thoughts! Saturday I was tempted to do Cathe Live #111 as inspired by Nathalie but decided to do a non cardio upper body workout instead to give the calf a rest. I did #70 Strong Upper Body Express. It did repeat each exercise twice but there weren't a ton of reps so I was okay with it. She then did a "finisher" for each body part using the band except for one round of pushups. Yesterday the calf was stiff so I decided to just do a little walking and not push too much. Today it felt much better when I got up. I did Cathe Live #87 Gloved up and Ready. This set up was similar to #82 Rock It Sock It but different enough that I didn't feel like I was doing the same workout again. I followed it with Anna's 30 minute low impact no equipment workout. I modified the heck out of this one since it had core moves that I had just done and I wanted to raise my heart rate so my moves had more impact and were higher intensity. That said, I liked having the beat of the music and the timer and I would use moves that were similar to hers but to the Power of 2 or 3, to use the terminology from Paul's 4 x 4. I finished with Sydney Cummings' 15 minute band stretch. This is a goody! I like her style so I plan to try some of her other workouts since all I have done is the foam roller and band stretches. I'm all in on the new Cathes! I also was wondering why the estimated shipping wasn't until July when the workouts are already filmed but that's only a part of this whole package. There's the DVDs themselves, plus the manufacturing of the bands. Anyway I plan to order the DVDs, the downloads and the bands at this point, but I may just get the DVDs and bands depending on the cost. Escape to the Chateau sounds good. We are so behind in "regular" TV watching since baseball season has begun that who knows when we will catch up on all the things we want to watch! Cats and DH competing for my attention---more catch up hopefully tomorrow! Waves to all!

Happy Tuesday to All
Cataddict- I hope that all goes well with your leg. If you get the new Cathe DVDs, you can make your own downloads from the DVDs. I often do that and with downloads, you do not get the premixes. I am going to get (I think) the DVDs of the new Cathe workouts. I have a ton of bands so unless Cathe bands are substantially different than the ones that I have, I will pass on them. If anyone likes Hemingway (I do) currently there is a wonderful two episode special on PBS. |
