I need advice from all you Cathe-fans who have the new Intensity Series VHS. I admit I only ordered the Pyramids & the Cardio & Weights/IMax2 DVDs and then I went out and purchased a 10lb medicine ball before I realized there was no med ball used in any of these workouts. So I'm considering...

Mindi - ask him about MINI-TOPPERS !!! Mindi, While you have the PRESIDENT on the line, can you ask them if they have plans to make the mini-topper we're all dying to have? It's the mini-step top that goes on top of stacked risers to give you a taller step for tall box climbs and so on. I...

Hi Cathe, I got this idea from a post here on your forum - a way to do an abbreviated upper body workout with S&H so I could do a two-day split with this series. I thought I'd post it for you in case you're getting ready to plan your next workout series and especially the two-day split series...

Lori, I ordered from them last summer and the Rykas I ordered were in stock and arrived promptly - I think within 7 days. I've suggested this retailer to folks having trouble finding Rykas locally, but this is the first time I've heard of anyone having problems with Customer Service. Have you...

That's Erin F - her instructions link Paula, Erin F. created a mini-topper by cutting up a regular step and gluing and nailing the halves together, very ingenious. I've made four of them so far, for me & my friends. Very sturdy adn versatile! It gives you so much flexibility, you can stack up...

BodyMax I still think BodyMax has some very tough and thorough abwork. Also, the abwork in CTX is exceptional - the abs on the end of Leaner Legs is unsurpassed. Have you had any luck with FIRM tapes? Their "More 5-Day Abs" is very good. At the end of their Cardio Step Mix is a 6.5min ab...

Get a weight bench and squat rack Lori, Just my opinion, you can do a lot with a weight bench, free weights & a squat rack if you have the room. A good weight bench should have incline, decline and flat positions. Look for a rack on it that allows you to do bench presses. Even better, one...

Buy it online at BuyFitnessStuff.com Donna, A friend of mine (Caroline K) at VideoFitness got the Super Step online at www.buyfitnessstuff.com. She describes it over at VF - the platform is 5 + 1/2 inches tall and I think the risers are 5" each - all together it stacks up 15" tall. You can...

Cathe, During the end credits to the S&H workouts you thank a gentleman named Frank Forcinito of "Fitness by Frank." What role did he have in producing this video series? I'm only curious because I'm so impressed with the quality body-building hints you give in these workouts - rotator cuff...

I agree! I don't think there was anything long-winded about your response at all! I wanted to put in an aside here, closed-captioning is priceless for children learning to read. My daughter has truly benefitted from "reading" TV! If kids are going to watch TV, at least they can be learning...

Lisa, I'm not Cathe, but I had to speak up on this issue as a fan with a congenitive 30% hearing loss in both ears. Bravo for your efforts! I understand there are organizations that will provide closed captioning text for shows free of charge, given enough advance preparation. That said, I...

Thanks Cathe! Cathe, Wow, thanks for the advice! I'm always thrilled when a fitness celebrity gives me training advice. I'll let you know how it goes! Dawn P.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-27-01 AT 01:17AM (Est)[p]Wow, You guys are so enthusiastic, I hope I can show that kind of energy during the filming. Heck, I hope I can keep up period! Todd Gheisar has a bit of a fan club over at videofitness.com and some of us have met him at various fitness conferences...

Cathe, How do you and your crew train for a video shoot? I have about three weeks before I will be one of the less-talented background exercisers in Todd Gheisar's upcoming kickboxing circuit video. Any recommendations? I am upping my cardio so I can try to keep pace with the crew - the video...
