Hi Cathe! I just started using your new series and I have a question. If I did the 4 day split Monday thru Thursday, what would be a good total body workout for Saturday that would round out the week in a rotation? Would it be best to use lighter weights and more reps? I already own (and...

Hi all! I am interested in doing one total body weight training workout along with the 4 day split. I thought I could do the 4 day split Monday-Thursday and then a Total Body on Saturday. Any suggestions on what would work best? Muscle Max? Muscle Endurance? Should I look for something...

Boy, I know how you feel. I just tried to do Low Max and gave up after rewinding things over and over. I just can't get some of the steps. I too was a superball. I am hoping Low Impact Step will help me a little. I'm glad I'm not alone. I am going to make sure I fit in other cardio...

Hello everyone! It's time for an update. I ordered Low Impact Step when I preordered the new series. While I'm waiting, I decided to preview Low Max twice and then I gave it a whirl. Well, I made it through to the "travel face" (or whatever it is called)in the warm up and must have rewinded...

RE: In need of advice on a step DVD to begin with......... Thank you for the great suggestions. I visited turnstep.com and the "dictionary" is great! I wish there was a printable version. I guess my concern is that the DVD's that are less complex are also not that intense...I think the...

I am an advanced exerciser BUT I am totally uncoordinated and find step challenging. Is there a workout you could recommend that is basic in choreography but advanced in difficulty so I can get a good workout and learn step basics at the same time? Thanks in advance for your help! On average...

Hi all! I need your opinion Can I fit in doing 2 circuit workouts, each of the Gym Styles, and one day of Muscle Endurance a week or is this overkill? This is my projected schedule: Monday- a Circuit workout Tuesday- Run, Gym Style Upper body Wednesday- Run, the other Gym Style Upper...

Hi Cathe, Is it really necessary to take a day of complete rest each week? I really just feel a lot happier doing some form of exercise every day. As long as I alternate easy/hard days and do not weight train on consecutive days, is that okay? Liz

I just ordered High Step Circuit, Challenge and Training but I haven't received them yet. Now I want to buy The Gym Style series but out of guilt for spending so much I think I will wait a little while and just used Muscle Endurance. You are not alone!

Wow...there is a premix like that? I just got BC/ME and I didn't see a premix option. Where do you find it? Thank you! Liz :)

Hi again Kay! I know it is soooo hard to stop running when you love it! I did cut out hills and stuck with flat work. I was running 30 miles a week and I first stopped running for about a week and then I gradually went back to it very slowly. I added an extra day of rest and cut my mileage...

Hi Kay! I am in the same boat. My pain got so bad I could barely walk. I have been getting better with stretching, the tennis ball trick, cutting my mileage in half and trying not to sit too much. I still weight train, I just go easy with the weight. I find I have the most trouble doing...

Thank you for the suggestions Marcy. I looked at the clips and I think I will take your advice and buy High Step Circuit. Bootcamp is just way too challenging for me right now! I guess it will have to be something I can use as a goal. Liz :)

Hello everyone! I am new to Cathe's workouts and need some advice. I have been running for over two years. In August, I began doing Jari Love's "Get Ripped". It got too easy so I moved to Sleek and Lean and then Ripped 1000. Then I found Cathe's Muscle Endurance and I fell in love. I cut...

Hi all! This may seem like a weird question, but what kind of sneakers do most of you wear while doing step or circuit workouts? I am a runner and have been using my running sneakers but I am wondering if these are the right things to be wearing. I do sometimes experience ankle problems...
