    Low Impact Workout Without Lunges?

    I injured my knee a few months ago, and have been cleared to resume all activities except lunges. I've watched the clips of your Low Impact Series workouts looking for one that isn't lunge-heavy, but they all appear to include a lot of lunge-type movements. Can you recommend one that has the...

    Insanity!

    If you love intense cardio, you have got to have this!! I ordered the Tony Horton One-on-One workout so I could get the free Insanity disk. I did it this morning, and it's probably the most intense dvd workout I've ever done. This is the way I want to work out. Can't wait for the series to be...

    Another Which One Question

    I know there have been several questions of this type posted, but I would really appreciate some feedback from those who have done and/or looked at meso 2 and 3. I would love to buy the entire STS package, but can seriously only afford one right now (and in the near future). My goal right now is...

    BM2 Intensity

    I'm thinking about ordering BM2 and would like some feedback about the intensity. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being gasping for air, begging for it to stop) how would you rate the intensity of the blasts? Also, with the weight exercises, how hard are they? Heavy, light, or moderate weight? Compared...

    Expensive DVD

    I recently received Bootcamp/Muscle Endurance, and every time I tried to play it, the sound was bad, or it would skip or pause. I cleaned the disc (following the dvd school instructions), and tried again. It started to play better, but when I tried to remove it from the player, it was stuck...

    To Count or Not?

    I've been following the Eat Clean plan by Tosca Reno, and I love the portion control and not putting processed crap into my body. The one thing I'm not sure about is her strong belief in not counting calories. Just wondering how everyone else feels is the best way to lose/maintain weight. Do you...

    Need Opinion from Fitnessfreak

    I've just been reading your posts, and was impressed with the advice you give. I would appreciate your opinion on my current situation. I'm 5'7", supposedly an ecto-endomorph, 47 years old. For the past 2 years I have weighed around 105-107. I know - too low for my height, but I eat very well...

    Big Lifts or Body Part Splits?

    I'd love to hear Cathe's opinion on this, but would welcome other opinions as well. According to many of the "experts" the best way to increase strength, size, and to lower body fat is to do the big lifts. Heavy squats, deadlifts, pullups, rows, and bench presses are supposedly much more...

    Next Youtube??

    Anyone heard anything about when the next clip is being released? I thought I read that it would be the heavy legs using the squat rack from Mesocycle 3, and I'm anxious to get a look at it. The sporting goods stores in my area are having some great sales right now, and the clip might just...

    Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations

    Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced heart rate monitor that tracks calories burned during exercise? I have an old Polar, but it just gives my heart rate. I'd really like a more accurate way to assess how many calories I'm burning during my workouts, especially when using kettlebells and...

    Your Workout

    Hi Cathe, Could you share with us what type of workouts you do (other than teaching your classes and recording your workouts)? You really are in amazing shape, and I have been curious about your preferred method of cardio, weight training, etc. Thanks! Jan

    Whittle the Waistline?

    This question is for Cathe, or anyone else who might have some valid suggestions. I'm looking for exercises that will focus on making my waistline appear smaller than my hips. I'm tall and slender (kind of a "boy" build). I'm fortunate in that I don't have much body fat and can gain muscle...

    Body Max 2

    Question for all of you who have done BM2. I'm looking for a Cathe workout that will kick my butt and make me cry! :o I've been reading a lot of good things about BM2 on this site, but here's my situation. From years of teaching step aerobics, I have a case of chronic plantar faciaitis that...

    Kettlebell Exercises

    I just got my first kettlebell and workout dvd (Iron Core #2). It gives several exercises, which I've mastered. I have also ordered the Extreme Kettlebell Workout from Dragondoor, but it hasn't arrived yet. As I search different sites I'm finding so many different exercises for kettlebells, but...
