    How about a bonus workout "Shock Cardio Fusion"

    Terminator and Cardio Fusion have some of my favorite workouts on them. I'd hope for 5 new workouts if they create a Shock Cardio Fusion. I stay motivated by not repeating workouts very often, which is why I love premixes!

    For Canadians thinking of Power Tower

    I've looked around and have found nothing equivalent to the power tower in Canada. I really want to be able to increase my strength for chin ups and pulls ups. I can do one at the playground and then I'm finished. I know the shipping and handling and exchange rate makes the price uncomfortable...

    Be the First to Own The STS Push/Pull Tower!

    I'm super excited about this product. I'm very excited about the pre-order! Does the base of the tower have a non-scratching surface. If not what should we place under the base? I have a laminate floor in my workout area and don't want to scuff it. Thus I use cloths instead of paper plates for...

    Alhambra

    Kim, Kim I am feeling better. I was able to go to my Jazz dance class tonight. Tomorrow I'll be using my workout room to a) practice my dance routine and b) do a Cathe workout (the dilema is which one). In my workout room the bottom in concrete (it is in the basement), the subfloor is...

    New Workout Room

    Thanks Janie, You're right the room won't go anywhere. I'll just take it easy and hopefully I'll be better for Xmas. I have a six year old and an eight year old so Xmas is going to be pretty awesome. We're also around the corner from my nephew now (22 months old). He gallops everywhere...

    Are there Cathe dvds that you hardly ever use?

    Timesaver and Slow and Heavy...I've heard about excellent results with Slow and Heavy but it doesn't work for me. I think I'd need a spotter to go heavy enough. Her older ones I don't use very often but I always enjoy them when I do.

    New Workout Room

    We just bought a new house. I have a proper workout room for the first time (it was finished 2 weeks ago). No more aerobics on carpet on top of concrete. Now I have beautiful laminate flooring over a subfloor. I can leap and do power moves without my joints complaining the next day. The ceiling...

    any Canucks got your DVDs yet?

    Oh, I'm happy to hear they've been arrived duty free. I've been eagerly checking my mailbox every day. We're moving in less than 3 weeks and I don't want the new workouts to get lost in the transition. Plus I'm eager to try them. Impatiently waiting in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba

    embracing paleness

    I'm 40 and a redhead. Tanning has never been an option. What's funny (although at the time I was insulted) is I got asked if I was an albino this summer when I was hiking. It's amazing how ignorant people are. I've only had one burn in my life, and I never want to get another one. I always use...

    Substitution for Kick Max leg conditioning drills?

    The kick max leg conditioning drills is approximately 15 minutes in length. They work the legs without weights so I would substitute 15 minutes legs from L&G, B&G or Push/Pull. The would opt for the floor legwork in B&G as they give a similar burn.

    Buying 4 Day split / should I buy B&G ?

    B&G is one of my favorite workouts. The first time I did it I had butt DOMS for 4 days...it was awesome. Now that my body has adjusted the DOMS only last a day or two. The mixes are phenomenal. There's an overall standing leg mix that I really enjoy. The bonus abs on the stability ball is my...

    2 Moves I need some pointers on

    For the "side slam its" really focus on getting low with knees over your ankles. The lower you get the more you should feel it. For the hammer punch lunges think about putting your foot gently down(this takes a lot of muscle control when you're moving fast), lunge as deeply as you can (no...

    Cross Train Xpress

    I did the entire Xpress series last week and had a blast. For some reason I had moved it to the back of my workouts and hadn't touched it in over 18 months. For people who have it on DVD how is it chaptered? I'd like to be able to do a warm up and then two of the cardio sections back to back...

    Any announcements about new workouts coming soon?

    I'm also eagerly awaiting the next presale. I had promised myself that I would go on the road trip if I got a job offer. I've been job hunting since September. I got the job offer on the day that the sign up for the road trip occurred. Unfortunately it happened an hour after the trip was...

    April 4 - Cathe rotation

    I'm planning to do the bonus cardio today. Yesterday my calves were still fried from my two hours of jazz dance the night before. My calves are still feeling the burn today but they had a full day of rest so I'm hoping working them will make them feel better. I'm doing Gym Style Back, etc...

    April 4 - Cathe rotation

    Well today was Gym Style Chest and Triceps. It was definitely a day where I had to motivate myself. Initially it was "oh I'll just do the chest"...before I knew it I had done the whole thing. Have a great day!

    April rotation - 3 April

    Well I managed to do Step Blast yesterday. My calf muscles today are saying "hello". I ran out of time to do the abs. Tonight I have two hours of advanced jazz dance so that will be my substitute for the biking. Today it's -24 deg Celsius with the windchill and it's snowing. I'm hoping my...

    April Rotation - April 2nd

    Well I started the April rotation yesterday. I did all of gym style legs. My legs were a little fried as I did Cardio Fusion on Saturday. I'm adding yesterday's abs onto Step Blast today...I just didn't have the energy for it yesterday. Happy Happy I'm starting full time employment in two...

    Canadian Birthday Tradition????

    I'm a Candian, of Scottish heritage, turning 40 on Tuesday and I've never heard of anyone putting butter on their nose. We used to give the bumps (which doesn't happen anymore)...I don't think I could sit for a day after the enthusiastic bumps on my 13th birthday. A pinch to grow an inch was...

    How do you know when you need new shoes?

    I listen to my body. I had surgery on my ankle when I was twenty. If my ankle starts acting up it's a sign that the cushioning is gone in my shoes. Since I put interlocking foam mats on my workout floor I find my shoes are lasting longer than they used to. If your ankles are killing you I'd...
