Hi Kathy I recommend sending an email to SNM about the visit. That's what I've done in the past. It's good to let her know the group wants to come and then she can give you a candid assessment of space in the class. (Since they'll always take gym members first, of course.) It'll be vacation...

I love the premixes! I don't care about the "blender" option, but I do love when each workout has 4 or 5 well-thought out premixes. I also LOVE the "music louder" option. My fingers are crossed that SNM will find a way to keep offering the premixes. Maybe if there are fewer options and...

Thanks I love getting the updates and I appreciate the thought and planning that has gone into the DVDs. I really like the pre-mixed combos -- take as long as you need to get these done to your satisfaction, guys! I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Daphne

Interval Nine -- you make me feel so FINE! Bring it on! (Hee hee, very brave because my running coach won't let me do step until after my March marathon!)

What a bunch of babes! I can't get over how good all of you look. You truly are beautiful women. I swear I can feel a bicep popping out just from *looking* at this picture. That's how inspiring you all are. Thanks for the preview, Cathe and SNM.

How about all-step cardio + weights? I would love a cardio + weights workout, but what would make the workout best for ME (it's all about ME) would be if the cardio was all on the step. I love your step routines, Cathe and I think there is no one in the business better than you when it comes...

And it's here! Thanks, Cathe and Step N Motion. My Ab Hits DVD is here. Yippee! I haven't had a chance to pop it in the DVD player yet, but I'm feeling darned worked out just doing the "stare at the cover and gloat," workout right now. It LOOKS great! This will be great for my annual beach...

I'd also like to know if you have an expected shipping date yet. Thanks so much. I'm really looking forward to my new DVD.

Hi Anat: I had to give up impact activities for about 7 months while dealing with a very stubborn case of plantar fasciitis(PF) in my left foot. It started out mild, but eventually got so bad that I could barely walk. Before the PF stopped me, I used to do almost exclusively step and running...

Planks worked for me Hi Iris: The lower section of my abs has always been pretty soft, even though I train them 4 times a week and do strength and lots of cardio and all of the recommended things. Like you, I've had 2 c-sections. But my abs were mushy before the c's. When Cathe's Cross...

I'll take my pyramids however you present them. Another vote for slower counts and good rest periods. I really like how you structure your rests in S&H. I know it must be hard to fill up the time, but I like when you use it to tell us about how you're feeling, what is coming next, what...

Oh my aching bosy ... In all honesty, I am intimidated at the thought of a 60-minute tape that is all lower body -- not including abs. Because of time pressures, I predict that I would probably skip the floor section of the workout unless it contained some exercises such as: (a) isometric...

Interval Max -- this time it's personal? Some thoughts: (1) Upbeat music. (I like vocals -- helps if I can sing along.) (2) Plyo moves in the intervals -- these help me to cushion the impact, but use lots of power and keep my heart rate up. "Fast feet" kinds of moves are very difficult on an...

Perfect! Cathe, I would have chosen the same ab workouts myself! This looks great! I'm a little nervous about the suggestions to create 4 15-minute ab workouts though ... I'd much rather have shorter workouts of 8 to 12 minutes. Then I could combine them in different ways if I had extra...

Hi Cathe: I did Rhythmic Step this morning for the first time in months and I just want to tell you how much I love and appreciate this workout. I liked it when it came out, but I LOVE it now! I've been down with plantar fasciitis in my left foot since November and haven't been able to do any...
