 January 2026 Monthly Workouts And the Winter Cut First week and 1/2, was dedicated to Pilates Power Gym workouts.  I have had this machine and these workouts - probably 12 years now, I have never done them or really used the machine.  This year I have decided to use the machine much more.  Winter cut starts Sunday January 11 and goes to Saturday January 31.  It is a 21-Day (3-Week) cut. My goal will be to lose 5 pounds during the three week cut. I will be doing M4:3 for my eating protocol.  M stands for modified. There will be four up days and three down days per week during this cut. For fasting, I will do IF and will fast 16 to 18 hours per day during the cut. Workouts Sunday - Cardio Coach Treadmill workouts Monday - Cathe PHA workouts Tuesday - Cathe Boot Camp workouts Wednesday - Cathe Total Body workouts Thursday - Les Mills Combat workouts Friday - Ilaria's BodyStrike workouts Saturday- Cathe Mobility workouts

Stamina clocks in at around 27 minutes.  For this workout, Autumn uses just one weight selection throughout the whole workout. So there is no changing in and out the bands. Other than the selected band, Autumn uses the core ball in the first two exercises. In this workout, there is a foot block, an upper block and a core block. Autumn performs the exercises on one side of the body and then she repeats the same exercises on the other side of the body. There is a bonus exercise at the end.   This workout does include and warmup and cool down. 3 & 1/2 stars  

 Glutes & Guns clocks in just under 40 minutes. The workout's primary focus is exercises that target the glutes and biceps.  The glute exercises target hamstrings and quads as well, but the upper body exercises are exclusively bicep based.  The weight is moderate and the reps are between 12 and 16 reps.  3 stars

 Cathe Lift, Move, & Restore 2 Elevated! Total Body Metabolic Strength is a 40 minute total body workout. In this workout, Cathe takes  you through a series of isolated, compound, and body weight movement.  This is a moderate to heavy weight workout and you are doing on average 10-reps. Cathe offers suggested weight for each of the exercises that use weights.  The warm up and cool down is about 10-minutes of the workouts combine, so the main workout is around 30-minutes. Cathe does use a set of dumbbells  in the warm up. 3 & 3/4 stars

Lift, Move & Restore 2 Elevated! Heavy Weight Workouts. I usually do not care for split upper body workout, but I did not mind the two in this series. There are a total of four heavy weight workouts in the LMR2 Elevated! series. Three of them are: Upper Body Strength Chest, Triceps & Shoulders   (CTS) Lower Body Strength Upper Body Strength Back, Biceps & Shoulders (BBS) Cathe offers suggested weights in all three of the workouts. Many times, I thought the pace was quite quick for a heavy weight workout. Cathe does tell you to slow down if you find that to be the case. In Chest, Triceps & Shoulders, the shoulder work is focus on the upper and front of the shoulders. In Back, Biceps & Shoulders, the shoulder work was focus on the back. A variety of equipment is used throughout. The Lower Body workout uses the loop boss band.  BBS uses a small loop band and the pull up bar.  All workouts used a ranged of dumbbells. Upper Strength CTS - 3&1/2 stars L...

Workouts for level 2 are: Track Pilates Total Body 1 Track Pilates Lower Body & Core 2 Track Pilates Upper Body & Core 2 Track Pilates Synergy Very similar to the first group of workouts but slightly more challenging.  As in level 1, Autumn delivers motivational tips throughout each workouts.
