I am desperate for more amazing cardio (preferably HIIT)! Due to back/sacrum issues, I can't do things that force me to curve my lower back forward (e.g. burpees, leaning forward to touch ground). Due to knee issues, I can't do step. The only cardio workouts I can do are Tabatacize, Cardio...

I see from the newsletter sent today that "balance discs" are required. Does each participant need more than one of the wobble discs?

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...
