Thank you, Kellyro77!

Does the new Total Body Barbell workout include options for those of us with dumbells but no barbell?

I own every single Cathe video that isn't exclusively step. I am desperate, however, for more cardio workouts. I want non-step workouts with no bending over where you have to flex the lower back--so squats, lunges, etc. are fine since you can keep your back flat but I've now properly thrown my...

Okay, thanks. I just buy the DVDs so I'll wait patiently to see if future videos include them.

Does anybody on Cathe's staff know the answer?

Yeah, to clarify--I never said or even implied that I thought exercise should "hurt" or make you feel "wiped out" or even make you "breathe hard."

Hi, there. Just wondering whether the Boss Bands were a one-time thing or if she plans to make more videos with them.

I love the Perfect 30 videos, though unless they have a bonus, I do find them too short. So yes, more of them ... but always with a bonus to bump up to 40-45+ mins, please! I'd love another upper body weights workout and love the idea of a barre workout (for days when Turbo Barre is a bit...

I second this. X-Train is my hands-down favourite series. BEST weight training and who doesn't love Tabatacize?

Like the other commenter, I would recommend Stuart McGill (a fellow Canadian!). I've had multiple personal trainers and physiotherapists tell me (and other people I know) to never, ever do crunches. Planks, on the other hand, they're wild about. Crunches put tons of pressure on the spring...

I was a little disappointed that I bought the new bands/loops and then the blue loop was never used in the loop video. That, paired with the fact that I didn't find either video especially challenging (Glutes and Core will be okay for low energy days, I guess, but the Total Body one won't be of...

Are hula hoops actually especially good for mid-section strengthening or is it more of a gimmick/trend?

I'm happy to report that the Fiona (my favorite low-impact sports bra, hands down) is still made. Brooks bought Moving Comfort; just go to the Brooks Running website and you'll find Fiona. Also, I have a large chest for my size and I've tried EVERY kind of super-supportive sports bra. People...

Great! Would you mind directing me to said post? Thanks for the helpful response, btw. I adore Cathe and workout 'with' her every single day for a reason: her work is unparalleled. I was asking because it is an investment for me to get all the new stuff and I wanted to be sure it was a good...

Yeah, I do up my weights in the intermediate workouts.
