Hi Cathe!
I've been reading the descriptions of the new workouts, and they sound great! Can't wait to get them (but I bought DVDs, so I have quite a wait ahead!). I'm glad you included rotator cuff exercises in the shoulder work, and "supermans" for the back. I have a couple of questions, though. I'm a stickler for safety, and the 10-degree forward tilt bicep curl variation seems rather stressful on the back. Can you assure me that it isn't, or suggest a substitution (I'm thinking maybe dumbell bicep curls on a 45%-ish incline, though it hits the muscle from a different angle). Also, since tricep dips are what first brought on my carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, I avoid them like the plague! Do you show, or can you recommend, any alternatives? My last question---I'm loving the Cross Train Express series, but one thing that bothers me is the extent to which music is repeated from one routine to another (To me, it makes the routines seem more repetitive than they are). How much repetition of music is used in the new workouts?
Thanks!
Kathryn
