Anyone NOT buy Cathe's new series

[Rhonda]

I had contemplated on buying it and then figured I could do a couple months of her on-demand. But, and it just may be me, the clips are not catching my eye but then again I am not doing heavy lifting right now.

If this had come out a couple years ago, I would have been all over it. But as I age, I am just not into that anymore. Yes I do still strength train but not like that.

I am glad with my decision but wondering if there are others that didn't buy or am I in my boat alone.

I would love the strength training ones but not interested in the others. But I don't buy from Cathe anymore due to my principles so I wouldn't order her products because I'm not comfortable supporting her.

I also did not order. I find with a different type of workout I can gain strength in less time and no dread.

I did not order it. I do not wish to buy anymore Cathe DVDs, not because I don't like her but because I will probably subscribe to her streaming service at some point.

I amnot buying it. It is too fussy for an at-home program for me though it would be awesome at the gym. There weren't enough alternative exercises in the clips and the exercises shown as alternative to using the bars weren't really working the muscles same IMO.

Once CLX came out, I saw how effective shorter workouts with minimal equipment could be for gaining strength and I haven't gone back to Cathe.I did the Push Phase so many ytimes as a paper workout using the guide book. Wow, it really has been a long time since I bought any Cathe programs. I have been liking Jasper MacDermott on YT. And still using Lift with Cee's workouts even with all her video deleting shenanigans.

assuming this is for STS 2.0, no.

I am usually extremely late to anything new - better to wait for detailed reviews and just get the individual DVDs rather than the entire set.

Curious what you’re doing?

There are really only 6 I would use, it that’s $108 and I can get the whole set for $129…..

Right now I'm doing workouts by Jasper MacDermot on YouTube, some Caroline Girvan, some fitness kk and some growinganannas. I also did Lift with Cee over the summer. Shorter workouts are less exhausting and easier to push myself. The mental simplicity of the workouts is very appealing. I don't think there is any magic. It's just that long grueling workouts don't feel good and a rotation that leaves room for what feels good/better/life brings some joy with it.

That said my body wanted some cardio this afternoon and it was easier to reach for a DVD so I did Step Boss IMAX 4 for a second workout of the day.

This reasoning is part of the reason I'm excited about the new series -- it *seems* like there are going to be options for doing shorter workouts. Maybe it's just my wishful thinking.... we'll see. At any rate, I will shorten them myself as needed. I really like the slower pace I'm seeing in the clips.
