Will cathe.com oversee workout quality or distribute content filmed at this studio?

The weight you need depends on the kind of workouts you do. If your workouts are rep intensive, you will need lighter weights. If I am working by time (in blocks of say one minute per exercise) I stick with a 12 kg bell for swings. I can heavy up if I am doing 8 to 12 reps of swings.

What equipment will this series need? Thank you.

From what I have read, potato flour in bread makes it stay moist and slows down staling. Home made bead goes stale very fast compared to commercial bread with additives. I have used potato flour (the flaky kind, not potato starch) in bread. I think it creates both a lighter and moister bread. I...

I used to knead bread in a stand mixer. When I moved from India to Malaysia, I started hand-kneading bread. I love the results, but did not make it often because hand kneading takes time. I like the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day book series for No Knead Bread. It is simple, even for a...

I completely understand those for whom music does not make or break a workout. I just happen to be someone who wont do a workout unless I find the music fantastic. It cant even be just good. It has to be superb. I realise music tastes differ widely. The music in *my* workout needs to appeal...

Thanks Clare! Thanks Natalie! I dont like collecting equipment. I am going to give the towels a try this weekend. :)

Thanks Curt.

I play my workouts on a large HD TV and like 720p or more. Thank you.

Has anyone used the sliding discs on tile floors? I live in a tropical couny and my home is carpet free with tile flooring in the workout area.

Wow! I am in.

I have connected a media player that can play various popular HD video formats to my television. Here is a link to some popular brands: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=media+players I no longer buy DVDs if digital is an option - whether for...

"Less equipment" and "Less time options" are music to my ears. What equipment will XTrain use? I am hoping to get away with dumbbells (barbells can be subbed quite easily with dumbbells), a standard step, a stability ball and bands. I am hoping not to need gliding disks, high step, etc...

Patricia's kickboxing core cross train is supposed to be interesting but intermediate. ilaria's newer Powerstrikes are supposed to be less intense than her original one with Patricia. I have 5 and I like it. She keeps things low impact but you work a bit differently because she works at a...
