Hello Instructors! :D I am considering taking the AFAA primary group exercise exam this fall and still have my old Fitness Theory & Practice manual. For those who have recently taken the exam in the past but let their certification lapse but has retaken the test since the 3rd edition has come...

I've been looking through some of the rotations and can't seem to find one using only the Timesaver workouts. Is there one or do I need to create my own, meaning just follow the DVD as is and insert ab workouts whenever necessary? I haven't used my Timesaver yet, so can anyone also tell me...

Hi Honeybunch1! I have a question for you. Do you do ball workouts or use the ball while doing a video? Over the weekend I picked up a book titled, Get On The Ball by Lisa Westlake. Have you read this? Do you recommend any other ball workout books? If you use your ball as a substitute for...

Good afternoon ladies! I see that everyone must be fairly busy if I'm starting this thread! :7 What's going on? Yesterday wasn't Easter Sunday, so I know you're not dragging your tails after the let down from a humongous sugar overload! :+ Well let's see! I've changed my tactics once...

Thought I'd share this with all you readers! I picked this list up at my local library, one of my favorite places to hang out. Hope you find the ideas fun and creative. If you're like me, you've probably already accomplished some of these tasks or are in the midst of one.:) New Years...

Finally, finally, finally! My tapes are here! Arrived about 20 minutes ago here at work! Now how do I decide which video to preview first tonight?! I will try my darnedest to do my pilate's workout first though! :) I do know that come Monday I will do one of the Pyramid tapes! Only seriously...

Has anyone tried Optimum Nutrition's Meal replacement shakes? I was just at GNC yesterday and a box of 20 packets was on sale for $11.24. I asked the guy in the store how it tastes? Had he tried it? What have cusotmers said about it? He hadn't tried and a couple of people didn't like it...

I have just started running seriously! I would love to have some suggestions of fairly decent shoes to purchase. Before when I ran with my DH, I always wore crosstrainers. What are some brands/styles that are most popular among runners, hold up best as far as durability is concerned and has...

Hi Honeybunch! It's me again with more questions I might add. :) Late last year or early on this year weren't you the one tipping everyone off to resistance work with the tubing? Well, finally I have decided to get busy on my outer and inner thighs and glutes (again)! Can you recommend some...

Hi Everyone! I need your help, of course! :)I seem to be having problems feeling the muscles work when doing those side lunges in S&H Legs and Shoulders. What am I doing wrong? I can feel the inner thigh muscles working after a few reps to each side but I don't feel anything in the outer thigh...

Question for Cathe or anyone from the educated crowd! :) While doing Slow & Heavy Chest and Back last week (will be doing this tonight also), I had some concerns while doing the plank work and such. I know that while doing planks you tighten your abdominals and breath naturally. But what do you...

Hi All! I have been reading a few reviews over at the VF site and I was wondering if Power Hour is tougher/harder than Circuit Max? Here's why I ask: I would like to do PH and CM in the same week. From the reviews PH sounds pretty tough, so I was thinking that my workout week should look like...

Last week I signed up for the adult class. (Don't know if this is such a good idea but I'm one the list now! :o) The next session will start the first week of May! So I still have time to back out but it sounds like so much fun! My daughter really wants me to do it - she thinks it's a great...

I think you're absolutely right! :) A while back I asked for help on purchasing some Cathe videos and one of my choices was Cardio Kicks. Well, I previewed that last night and will do the workout tonight! This video is great! I can imagine the exhaustion I will feel when it's over but it will...

I was browsing through my Cathe catalog and read the description on the Wedding video and it sounds very similar in style/set up to BodyMax! Is this true? If so I may have to consider getting this video also! :) Would someone please give a review of the format for this workout? I certainly...

Hi everyone! I've recently received Circuit Max and love it even though I have not actually done the workout! :) But I just have the feeling that I will. Now I want to purchase some of Cathe 's other videos, would you please recommend a few? I think 5 to start would be good for now! :) Here's...
