    What workout was that on FitTV this morning?

    Just did it for the first time about an hour ago..my thighs are still burning! Very easy to follow, which I needed because I am a real clutz when it comes to the more advanced step combos. The blasts were intense, and the sweat was dripping into my eyes.. but I got through them.I really enjoyed...

    Hi Kimberly.. Funny you should post that today about doing the weight training first.I usually do cardio first because I always felt it loosened up my muscles, but after doing a really intense cardio, I have been having a harder time keeping form when doing any sort of weight training, and...

    To all and each of you, What is a good plan?

    Hi. I have been following Body For Life for the past 6 weeks. I really needed a plan that was not gimicky and that could help me eat better for life, rather than something designed to help you drop 10 pounds fast and then leaves you with no clue of what to do next since so many plans are...

    Hi Kimberly, Yes, the Super Step is the one Cathe uses in some of her videos. I just love it! The risers snap in better, more securely,which is great. My other stepper I was always losing a riser. I do my step workouts on it...without the risers it is a 6 inch stepper..with the 4 risers it is a...

    I think I might try that Kathy Smith kickboxing. I have never been able to do kickboxing, but if that video is instructional, it might be what I need to learn how to do it properly. Yesterday I did Kathy Smith cardio fat burning as a warm up to Cathe Legs and Glutes. My lower back is feeling...

    Workout Mishaps :o

    I'm glad you weren't hurt! I did that same workout today and had a hard time keeping my balance on that excercise when my left foot was on the weight. I had a little mishap with the new Reebok stepper I bought. It doesnt have risers..it's a one piece design that goes up to 10 inches. I raised...

    Kimberly, I know how you feel! It's hard to get back into it after stopping for any length of time, especially if you happen to be a procrastinator like I am. I have to really push myself each day. Not that I don't enjoy the workouts, because I really do, especially once I'm in "the zone". I...

    I love Kathy Smith. I do her Lift Weights to Lose Weight DVD when I am pressed for time. And I have her Fat Burning Breakthrough,which I still do once a week when I need a bit of a simpler step routine that can still make me sweat. Sometimes after doing one of Cathe's routines, the next day my...
