Hello. For about 4 months now I have been loving Cathe's workouts! :D AND the results. I get a tips ezine from Nutrition Guys and found this article interesting, (clipped just a portion for you all) and have two questions about it: "Interested In Muscle Growth? Emphasize the Negative...

I am on Chapter 13 in the Lower Body Solution book by Laura Dayton. Gosh I wish she had a video instead of just the book - it's difficult for me to follow the pictures in a book! I wondered for those of you more experienced with LBS or Freestyle, what lower body videos would you recommend and...

Thank you Laurie. After this understanding I tend to agree with you about it likely being better to exercise this in a retracted form. I appreciate the clarification.

I'm new to Cathe's tapes and am both enjoying them and finding results. I have read some EXCELLENT descriptions on these forums for form on the shoulder retraction. My question is: what is the difference in results when you retract your shoulders versus when you don't? I noticed that in...

I'll make this space problem work. Thanks so much for your positive, personal experience with the ball.

You sure do make it sound like a MUST HAVE! I wouldn't want to take the time to de and re-inflate. I'm going to look around the storage room just next to the workout room to see if I can fit it in there. Thanks for the terrific comments!

Great feedback. We have a storage room right next to the workout room that your idea of putting the ball somewhere else could work. Thank you!

My workout room is so full now I am just not sure where I would put a stabliity ball. And I am new to Cathe. Could someone comment of the benefit of using a stability ball? Also, is it possible to workout without one for any of the videos that say the stability ball is equipment needed...

I am so excited :P after finding Cathe on FitTv and getting advice from you all here. I just got my first video Power Hour which is terrific. I want a cardio workout to do every other day but I'm only seeing a lot of advanced choreography with Cathe's step aerobics. :( I'm just not that...

Liz thank you for more suggestions! Circuit style is one of my favorite kind of workouts so I'll look at the video sampler of Cardio & Weights. I was thinking about breaking up something like Body Max (way too long for me!) so it's good to know it is doable! I'll check out the step videos...

Stacy, while it's still a lot to consider, you've reduced the overwhelm of the choices. I do hope the step choreography is not complicated because I am really not coordinated! I'll check on all that you suggested and start with 1 or 2 and go on from there. Thank you again. Patricia

Thank YOU Stacy. I have a Reebok step and of course, The Firm two piece step. I have 2.5, 5, 8, 10 and 12 pound weights, a floor mat, 3 dyna bands (for pilates), The Firm weight bar (and 8 pound special kind of barbell) and we also have an Apollo 250 TuffStuff gym that does every kind of...

Thanks Marie. I like low impact cardio most; step is fine for me about once a week. And you areso right on with time - I like sessions to be about 50 minutes. The mix of cardio and weights is perfect for me. I'll check onCTX, if it's on VHS. We have DVD in our home but we have a workout...

I have been an avid user of The Firm for just over a year now, with great toning and firming results as they promise. I am 55 years old, 5 foot 2" and 128 pounds, I do not diet but instead eat balanced meals, an occasional protein drink and few snacks. I first experienced Cathe on FitTV this...
