    GS chest and triceps: how to keep lats out of tri work?

    Hi Cathe, I am loving the Gym style workouts, and did Chest and tris this morning for the first time. I found in the kickbacks, particularly with band work, that I really seemed to be recruiting my lats more than my triceps. In fact, my lats are really having doms right about now! Can...

    Seperated abdominals: please elaborate!

    Hi Cathy, You mentioned in a previous post that you have been dealing with seperated abdominals following your pregnancies. Can you elaborate on how you brought them back "together"? I have had 2 preganacies, the first a twin pregnancy, and my abdominals are also, clearly, seperated (I see...

    How much cardio is too much?

    Apologies if this has been answered in another thread...Cathe, you mentioned to a previous poster that to lose weight, they should do cardio 4-5 times per week, and work each body part twice. In your opinion, at what point would one be doing too much cardio, and potentially eating into muscle...

    any CKSales preorders arrived?

    Just wondering if anyone who preordered the new DVD's thru CKSales has gotten their package yet? I'm in Toronto and I haven't! Usually it's very quick, almost next day. Anybody? Christine

    Number of Reps: all the workouts?

    Has anyone ever recorded how many reps of each exercise cathe does in her DVD's? I realise there are tons of worksheets posted at fitnessvideofanatics...but nothing seems to record how many reps of each exercise she does. I know I started to do this at one point then stopped, but I think I...

    Push/Pull and Supersets

    I have both of these coming up in the next few days in my rotation, (haven't done either yet!!) and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what weights cathe and the crew use for the various exercises? maybe listing each and every weight is a bit much-but just wonderin, for instance, on...

    Substitute for MIC?

    I'm (finally) trying Catheès january rotation, and I discovered this morning when I wanted to do Bodymax, that my DVD player will no longer read that DVD. I did the gauntlet instead, and now am looking for suggestions on what I can sub in for MIC. I thought about doing the step and hi lo...

    Step Max: intro to Cathe?

    I recently bought the cardio classics DVD, since I of course have to have ALL the cathes. Well, I pulled it out yesterday and did step max. I am not the best at choreo and I had no trouble with this one, first try. I found it to be very basic-the first section is barely even combos, it's just...

    kickbox step please!

    This has probably been requested/suggested, but I would love an intense kickbox step workout. Ideally, this would be about a half hour of kickbox on the floor and a half hour of kickbox on the step, so we could mix and match on the DVD to create a few different combos. Personally, I would...

    muscle size "order"

    Hi Cathe, I read in a recent post that you advise working the muscles in order of size, largest to smallest. How do the muscles of the body rate, in order? (I know the tri's and bis are smallest...but what about legs/back/chest?) thanks! Christine

    May rotation request!

    I have a humble request for a May rotation, if you were in fact planning to post one: I would love to see what a one-body part per day rotation using your tapes would look like. Something like what you yourself might do in a week: lots of additional cardio, maybe a circuit or total body thrown...

    step height for leg press in ME??

    Is it really 16" in Muscle Endurance? I keep counting the risers and hoping I'll come up with 14 but...I suspect it really is (gulp) 16...can anyone confirm? (I did the leg presses on 16 the first time and it nearly killed me!) Christine

    question on blast rotation for those who are doing it.....

    Hi, I just got my intensity DVD's and am getting ready to do the total body blast rotation. I notice that cathe has Cardio and weights back to back with PLB...this makes sense to me because C&W is definitely an upper body emphasis. But what about doing PUB (on day 7) back to back with...

    Hi SNM, IF the Intensity DVD's start shipping on jan. 24, can I safely assume that CKSales will be among the first to receive their DVD's? Please tell me yes!!! Christine

    step height for Imax?

    Okay, I have to know...what step height do you all use for Imax? I have been feeling really proud of myself that I can get through that sucker, no modifications...but I NEVER use higher than 6" for any step workout....should I (gulp) be trying to do this on 8"??? Oh! Other than knee health...

    Slow and Heavy: 2 sets?

    I know cathe's busy so if anyone has an opinion, I'd love to hear it! I have started a slow and heavy rotation this week that I plan on following for 4 weeks, until the new DVD's come (drool, pant). But I am doing only 2 sets instead of three of each exercise, and in some cases where Cathe...

    Doing Imax quietly!

    For all the regular Imax users, this is probably obvious, but I was amazed to find how grueling Imax was to do this morning as I attempted to do it as quietly as possible. I am proud to say that this was the first time I've gotten through the whole tape, without waking up the whole house! It...

    forearm PAIN during CTX upper...?

    Hi, this is a question for anybody, I know (I hope!!!) Cathe's busy, Does anyone else experience huge forearm fatigue when doing CTX upper? I'll give my example from this morning: I did kickbox and biceps, then back, and by the time I hit back, my forearms were screaming, to the point where I...
