Linda somehow I missed you were doing Cathe’s virtual road trip. So very cool! i’m glad you had enough energy to participate after your brutal hike. So do you think you will do a road trip again or was the experience more of a “one and done”?
I was hoping for something different from Cathe regarding the new workouts, but I will buy whatever she puts out. It’s so fun to hear about what is upcoming. Bee bummer on the power being out that long. I’m glad the ground held the rain though. Good for you for keeping up with the PT exercises during the outage. Cataddict we got our boosters last week. No side effects for neither me nor my husband. I feel better knowing we have them. We’re planning another trip to Florida in December. We just got back from a long weekend in Florida. It was great to get away. We did lots and lots, and LOTS of walking, ate some great food and did shopping. Hope everyone has a good Halloween.

Hi everyone,
Juste a quick check-in to say Hi! We're are quite busy at work these days. I had to work some hours today and I just don't want to think anymore! (and translate!) It's good to hear from everyone. Take care and stay fierce! Nathalie |

Of course i wrote a long post this morning and lost it.
Oh! A new STS series but shorter! I will be in workout heaven. I am so excited. Linda- Thank you for your response. It was very helpful and informative. It does seem that Cathe is considering several of my suggestions. She must have read my mind. Yes, please include any of my remarks that you deem fit to include in your response email. I do not often post on the Cathe forum because if some deem that you said anything but stellar remarks, they will reply with a barrage of not so nice comments. Many people post, what I deem to be constructive remarks and they are lambasted. I still can not see why Cathe cannot plan a little in advance for Cathe Live workouts. I sometimes do get the feeling that she is doing things on the fly. I enjoy Cathe but what we have now is a mish-mosh of workout styles and types. At least if she thought out the workouts a bit more, the user could more easily place them in rotations and thoughtful patterns. How did you enjoy the road trip? Mickey-, glad you enjoyed your trio to Florida. What part did you visit? Are you going back to Florida in December to escape the winter? I am jealous. Lavna-I hear you about being very busy at work. Two of us are developing a new interdisciplinary course and it is time consuming but enjoyable. |

Linda, I too didn't know you had firmly decided to do the road trip and I'm thrilled you did it!! Do spill and tell us more details of what it was like, please!!
Kim, did you do Disney or where did you visit? Glad you got to get away! Horusosiris, I'm also so, so excited about this new series she's cooking up! Nathalie, hope things calm down for you soon! Oh, and RABBIT RABBIT, Watulans!!

Rabbit, rabbit! And..... Happy Birthday, Baby!!! Hope you are having a nice day.
horusosiris, wow, those are great ideas for Cathe and I see how over the years you would come to some of those conclusions. So cool that you've subscribed so long and done all the workouts -- amazing!! Especially since I know you do many other types of workouts, too. It does seem odd to me that given how she's done the monthly rotations for her dvds for years now, and she clearly cares about providing a balanced program on dvd, that she would be so haphazard with the Live workouts. Definitely a missed opportunity. Linda, thanks for the comments you chimed in with to know where Cathe is on things. It is a bummer about the music! It must be so fun to be doing the interdisciplinary course development -- a big added workload, for sure, but probably very energizing to do something new like that. Kim, nice that you had another Florida trip! I love all the extra walking I typically get to do on vacation. kittybug, I'm also very excited about the new series. I have a feeling we're probably in for quite a wait since she's still just in the planning stage, but whatever. Sounds like it'll be what a lot of us have been wanting! This morning I did the Mad Hatter workout -- fun! Fun to see people dressed up. I modified a couple of things for my whatever it is I'm dealing with, but I woke up feeling great and really wanted to try it. I'm sure tomorrow I'll be back to my PT routine + walking. Waves to all!! Hope you had a nice Halloween, whatever it was made of.

I LOVED the road trip. I don't regret what it cost at all. Will I do it again? I don't think I have ever done something so impulsive that cost this much in a very long time. I won't know until the time comes but I'm not completely ruling out doing it again. Might have more to do with where they have it and where we are financially than anything to do with the road trip. On with the trip..
Before the trip she mailed a goodie bag with Cathlete Road trip refrigerated reusable grocery bag that had our Road trip t-shirt, some 'witches' brew tea bags and a cool soft Cathe coaster and the trip schedule. They also emailed a funny Halloween themed smoothie ingredient list and mocktail instructions and another email with the equipment needs for the workouts. Nothing unusual in the workout needs at all. Jennifer Arnott and Nancy of customer service modeled and showed us a bunch of road trip apparel and items. It was like a HSN for Cathe customers. My husband walked in and said , " Wait a minute, did we pay money for you to spend more money!?" Obviously I sent him away. So you had five workouts spread out over two days. On Friday it was an awesome kickboxing workout that I wish I could have but she doesn't record these !! Then a smoothie demonstration but her smoothie wasn't too terribly different from mine except for a slice of beet (ew!) She had a short time where she introduced new products she will be selling. Microloaded gloves, barbell pads and barbell clips were the most intriguing items to me. There was more though! Then she followed it with the lovely 30ish minute stretch mobility workout. I slept so well! Saturday the workouts were: upper body/cardio; bootcamp; and lower body focused workouts. I LOVED the bootcamp the most on Saturday but they're all good. During the bootcamp my husband came in and asked if I really wanted to work out this much all day. This is when I realized he just doesn't understand anything! Anyway, I hate that I can't do these particular workouts again. There were exercises like a staggered moguls and anchored situps that were so fun!! I wished I could do it again! The lower body was the last and when I could feel I was running out of gas, but I muscled through the firewalker Barre inspired finishers. This was probably the workout I wouldn't repeat but it's probably because I hate Barre even though that wasn't the whole workout at all. There was a good break after that which I needed to shower and change and EAT. I think they gathered for the mocktail making but I was behind schedule because I had to bake my husband a pie. Anyway I rushed over pretty quickly with my weirdly blue drink. That , well let's just say, I changed the ingredients to suit my adult beverage tastes but kept it the blue color intended. Then we had the fireside chat where she spent over two hours talking to us and just babbling about various things. I saw Garrie there and I think his accent is more southern than mine! It was pretty cool to see all the people there and how different we all were. It was also kind of rejuvenating being surrounded by people who all liked what I do. There were some super inspiring stories as well that made me cry! Jennifer Arnott was there and had to help her with the technical stuff. Cathe seems very sincere in wanting to give her customers what they want. So it was nice to see that side of her. Saw the infamous Chris at the Q & A. I loved racing over in between my life and joining Cathe and folks those 2 days. The Shred Shed seemed an enormous oasis and never has zoom sucked less I have no complaints with my virtual experience but I have never done a road trip in person either. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the road trip report, Linda! Sounds like you made the most of it! You crack me up with realizing your husband "doesn't understand anything" and adjusting your drink to suit your adult tastes. So cool that you got to see and hear Garrie and I'm sure a bunch of others you "know". You know.... it would have been very cool for Cathe to have included copies of the workouts as part of the admission price. Wouldn't cost her any extra (to speak of -- some additional support, perhaps) and a big incentive to pay the admission.
