I have not booked a room yet. Laura

You're welcome, ErinW. I hope these will work for you. I have to do them every time I do cardio, but if I do, I have no problem. Sometimes my foot will start aching in the first round of cardio and I realize "rats, I forgot to do my band exercises!" It really makes a difference for me.

I got the circular bands at Wal-mart. It's just like a rubber band except bigger. As far as runnng shoes with more flexible uppers, I just meant that running shoes in general have a more flexible upper than other kinds of athletic shoes, such as cross trainers. I used to wear cross trainers...

Hey, gogigi . . . Can you give some input on the other two TLTs? I've been considering trying them. You say FYC is your least fav and BBBB is great for lower and cardio. Which one would you recommend trying first? Just FYI, I have almost every Cathe workout and all the pre-GT Firms.

I had pain in the sole and side of my left foot, so I saw a physical therapist. She said that I was flexing my foot wrong, compensating with my foot for undertrained muscles in my shin. You know, we train our calves so much with our workouts but not so much the front of the lower leg. Because my...

Hey, Melissa. Sorry to take long in answering. I had a few computer snags this last week. I don't normally follow rotations that are posted here on the forums since I just don't have the time 6 days a week to put into it. Mostly I make up my own, trying to hit a good balance between strength...

OK. One more, please. [email protected] Over in the video discussion forum I posted to Marcy who has some kind of compendium listing. She was also getting mobbed by requests. I wonder if it would be possible for those of you who have helpful info on the videos, like a spreadsheet or a...

Yes, I'm a pre-GT Firmie, too. This used to be one of my favorite firms because it was higher on cardio than many of their others. However, I rarely do it now that I've falled in love with Cathe. Actually, I hardly do any of my Firms anymore. I put one in the other night, did the warm-up...

I just did Step Blast yesterday after not doing it for a while. I wrote myself a note in my workout notebook that said, "Great workout when you ALMOST feel like doing Imax 2 but not quite." So, I'd say Step Blast is a great jumping off point for Imax 2. I also have a note written to...

Marcy, I saw on another thread in this forum that you have some kind of compendium that, as best I can tell, lists what exercises are included in the pre-mixes. Is this something that could be posted and pinned on the forum? I'd love to have a copy, but it looked like you were getting...

A big, enormous thank you to you, Cathe! :-) I went swimming a few days ago with a group of girlfriends. They all got into the pool before me, so they had a great view of my lower body as I took off my cover-up and walked to the pool. "We love your legs!" they exclaimed as I climbed in...

I loved this picture, too. The only problem is, if Cathe were a Borg, she would NOT be a drone. She would be the Borg QUEEN!!! ;)

Jillybean, I checked out your simple strength series suggestion. I like the idea, though I also I love having someone else structure my workouts and sets, so I won't comment much on that part of things. But I will say that I do occasionally love a workout with no low-ends. That one rep...

I'd like another workout like Pyramid Upper that includes the whole upper body. It wouldn't have to be pyramid. I just like the fact that PU includes everything. Most of Cathe's split workouts are 3-day: lower body and then upper body split into 2 days. Some times I just can't fit that much...

Shopaholic, Somewhere on the site I saw pictures of Cathe when she was pregnant. I forget where, though. Maybe someone else can point you to them. Laura
