    HOLY LO-IMPACT BATMAN!!

    I finally got through Low Max. A while ago I posted that I hated it--the first part got me so frustrated I wanted to whip my DVD across the yard. So I previewed most of the workout without doing it. Then I tried it... I'm still spastic on some of the moves--reverse mambos come to mind. But...

    You can learn to levitate! :)

    I use the dumbells to help me with getting my butt off the floor. I have found that I can't support myself on my "fingers" the way Cathe and the gang do in the video. I thought I had strong abs, but I can't get my legs off the floor (yet?) I feel like my arms are too short! Lisa

    Cathe-About your ponytail hair clip....

    Cathe-- I'm enjoying the new series very much... I read an earlier post about your ponytail being a clip on. Could you tell me what brand it is, because it looks very real and natural--matches your hair perfectly. I'd like to try a clip and have it look "believable." Thanks, Lisa

    help me with pikes on the ball please!

    Phyllis-- When I do the pikes, I don't worry about making a perfect inverted "V"--instead I concentrate on raising my butt up--make the move come from your hips folding, if that makes sense. You might find that you pike easier when you don't think about your feet so much. Also, the other...

    Visualized Cathe as the piper with her hand out...

    How did you eat clean? How hard is it to do that? What guidelines did you use? Thanks, Lisa

    Which of Cathe's crew are you most like?

    I think my body-type is a cross between Brenda and Jai...if you took certain parts, I think I would be some kind of hybrid! I think Jai looks incredible. Some might think she is too cut, and you can actually see her body changes from DVD to DVD (looking at the earlier ones) I agree with you...

    Type of Push-ups on GS C&T

    WHO ARE THE 10 VOTERS WHO CAN DO ALL THE PUSHUPS LIKE CATHE???? And, HOW ON EARTH DO YOU DO THIS??? I can match Cathe weight-wise with flys and presses. WHY CAN'T I DO THE PUSH-UPs "guy style"? I can do some, but not all. MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU STRAIGHT-LEGGERS!!! Still on bended knee...

    Those *&%$#@$% Plie squats!!

    Speaking of rupturing a muscle

    You WILL have awesome biceps if you keep using Cathe's weights! I can use the 15s...I have used 20s, but got a little too sore from that weight. There is "good" sproing and "bad" sproing... (Bad sproing could mean surgery:o ) Take care, Lisa

    LOW PANTS, TIGHT SHIRTS, BAD BODS!!

    I'm 39 now...I have older sisters whose genre was more 60s and 70s influenced. IMHO, "back then" the workout craze wasn't there. It doesn't seem that having a workout-body was important. A lot of the clothes were statements "against" the establishment...being a beatnik, standing for a cause...

    LOW PANTS, TIGHT SHIRTS, BAD BODS!!

    I agree with you about the belly being the focus with the low pants, high shirt and belly ring being the "target" area you can't help but look at. :o

    LOW PANTS, TIGHT SHIRTS, BAD BODS!!

    Not sure if anyone ever commented on this... This trend has been going for a while--you know, the pants that just skim the pubic area (how do they stay up?) and tops that are really a newborn size on girls that should be clearly heading for the plus-size rack. Maybe I'm missing something...

    Does anyone use Vegetarian dog food?

    Hi-- I have to agree with the last post....dogs, by nature, aren't vegetarians. In the wild, if they have a choice between hunting down a rabbit, or eating a block of soy...well... There are dog foods out there that are healthier "meat based" diets, made without "junk." I have 6 dogs, and...

    CAN YOU RUPTURE AN AB MUSCLE??

    I had to make sure my middle section wasn't inside-out this morning...The core sections on these new DVDs has brought my abs to newfound pain! (This is the good kind) For the first time, my rib area is tender. Abs are one of my strong areas to work (husband is jealous of this) and...I have...

    sound fluctuations in HSC?

    Hey-- I had a sound problem with HSC also. It got really low during the beginning of the workout, seemed OK after that. I'll e-mail the support people to let them know... Lisa

    HIGH STEP CHALLENGE *love it!!!*

    I think you could use the end of your regular step. Just make sure the top won't tip up from the end you're NOT using. There is one move that I can think of where Cathe does "fast feet" all around the step, but you could just stay in one place. For the aerobic portions, Cathe keeps the step...

    HIGH STEP CHALLENGE *love it!!!*

    Hi Hardcores! I was the one who posted how I was challenged--not in a good way--by Low Max. I haven't had a chance to attempt that workout again, but I DID complete HTC and it was GREAT right off the bat. What a tough workout! I'm sore today (in a good way). The band work is killer, those...
