I would say watch the workout. Then watch the movemaster. Then give it a try! Remember, you can stick with the more basic moves the first time or two. Don't worry about doing that or feel like you are doing less than you should! I love Christi! Although I did the 2nd stage of her Step...

It is a great movie and a very moving experience. There were no "stars" (although you kind of wanted Bruce Willis or somebody to jump into that pilot seat during the final segment); these looked like normal people you have flown with. It was intense about the same way Schindler's List of The...

I'm a Christi fan! I've done TCS twice now, and was able to get most all the moves without the modifications. I've found I usually "get it" about the 3rd time. I really love Christi because you work the brain as well as the body! And the time is gone before you know it. On both the "Totally"...

I have several of Chrisi's workouts and I love them. Hi Lo Heaven is a favorite -- 80 minutes of pure sweat. I have only done 2/3 of Step Heaven and still have Still Steppin and Still Jumpin to look forward to. It does take a while to master all the combos in her workouts, but I have found...

Thank you. The occupational hazard of being a mom is that one lives with perpetual guilt no matter what, but you are absolutely right. Intellectually I know that! My heart isn't quite there yet, though. Thanks for taking the time to reply!

This subject is so near and dear to me because I have a daughter who is now dealing with bullimia. She is 18. I lost a GREAT deal of weight when she was middle-school age; I am now at a normal weight. I exercise regularly and eat fairly clean. My daughter sailed through the remainder of her...

Here is a good one for a work colleague (with a sense of humor). An official 'While You Were Out' memo left on their desk -- message reads something like "Mr. Lyon called at such and such time -- please call him back." (with a phone number) When your colleague calls the number, he gets the...

I just bought my Step this January. It came with a DVD containing Basic Step and Cardio and Weights.

Hi, Deb, and congratulations on your weightloss! I know a thing or 2 about loose skin. I lost nearly 200 pounds (150 of that when I was in my 40s). I had never exercised or eaten clean up to that point. I have maintained my current 115 for approximately 8 years. To maintain I exercise...

I'm another who has been there. My first 45 years were spent living as pleasingly plump, moderately and then finally morbidly obese (305 lbs, 5'1"). She doesn't need to hear it from you. A part of the baggage carried by the morbidly obese is guilt and shame. She DOES know she has a problem...

I'm scared of getting old! Oh yes. On that day, I'll lay in the bed instead of getting up to work out. The highlight of my day will be breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will be intimately acquainted with the tv schedule. For social action, if I feel up to it, I'll turn to the internet, or I'll call...

I suggest you try Christi's Cardio Collectibles. It is new; it has 30 minutes step and 30 minutes hi-low aerobics and really fun music. I do enjoy Christi; I agree it takes a few times through to get the workout down, but she does have the "Movemaster" segment, which is extremely helpful. The...

Thank you all so very much! Tomorrow will be a rest day. Thursday, watch out, world!! LOL Thanks again.

I am scheduled to donate blood this afternoon. My question is about working out soon after a donation. I normally get up and work out around 4:30am each day, and tomorrow is a scheduled "cardio" day. Do you think it will be safe to do my regular "all-out" cardio tomorrow morning, or should I go...

Cathe, I know how frustrated you must feel! Thank you for keeping us in the loop. I'm disappointed, but not in you. You take all the time you need. I hope the next news you receive is good news!

I once weighed 305 pounds, and I was NOT even pregnant! This morning my scale said 115, so I have truly been transformed. I have substituted my obsessive eatting with obsessive working out -- so at least I'm doing something that contributes to my health and wellbeing instead of robbing me of it...

Christi Taylor Cardio Collectibles. Or her Totally Hot Cardio (hi-lo), or the Fantastic 4 DVD which contains 4 of her older workouts. The music and the moves are really fun, and I always look forward to working out with her!

I'm sure Jerry is likable and has improved quite a bit, but Lisa deserved to be in the finals. Obviously it's the fan voting that is carrying the largest clout here! This supports my theory that Drew will be the ultimate winner, because it is obviously young women who are doing most of the...

Thanks for a timely reminder! But I would definitely phone the manager of that restaurant and let him/her know your suspicions, including the date and time of your visit. If this person tried this with you, he has done it and will continue to do it to others! So please take just that one more...

>So, I'm still a very intermediate exerciser (I modify a lot >in Cathe workouts and can't lift nearly as much as she does). >Do you think I would still be able to do these workouts and >keep good form? > >TIA, Lori Lori, I'm also an int/adv exerciser due to having 56 year-old knees that...
