Question What is your current favorite total body weight workout?

Lately, I have been going for vintage, classic and simple for my weight workouts. Older Cathe, P90, etc.

My current favorite is Susan Powter's Building Strength (1994) on YouTube.

There is an extended warm-up (that I need at my age!) She mostly does 3 sets of ten reps. The pace is good to go heavy. Her demeanor is calm and encouraging. The moves are classic with no "creative" or compound exercises. I like that she does stretches in between exercises. The music is fine and the set is not distracting. The background exercisers are regular folks.

The workout can be divided to do just upper or lower body.

What is your current favorite total body weight workout?

A few weeks ago I did Cathe’s Muscle Endurance after not doing it for years and years. I had forgotten how good it is, with great music. I did all the workouts from Intensity Series and loved them all, again! I even enjoyed C&W and that used to be my least favorite workout of the series!

Thanks for sharing this! I like quad work using ankle weights Also happy to see uncomplicated moves and no push-ups.

My favorite total body weight workouts are anything Margaret Richard. Of those, Good N Strong is probably my favorite. I usually reach for Getting Better though because it's a bit of a lazier workout.

For total body weight work I’ve been revisiting my Firms, Tracie Long, WHFN, FitPrimes. I’m on a mission to reduce automatic renewing subscriptions, so no streaming and I’m back using my dvds.

I really have slacked off lately (so much crap going on) but I love Cathe's P30 upper and lower body workouts. A lot gets done in 30 minutes then I have plenty of time for abs and stretching.
