    How long are your daily workouts?

    Mine are 30 - 60 minutes. I tend to work out 30 - 45 minutes on weekdays and 45 - 60 minutes on weekends. I try to spread cardio/upper/lower throughout the week. **I have noticed since I've switched to mainly Cathe workouts, I tend to workout longer. I think its the fun factor for me (and...

    Using a 6" step on LIC?

    RE: Using a 6 After reading your post, I said to myself, "duh". When I did LIC this weekend, I kept thinking that the tap the segment was tough, tough. (I'm relatively new to Cathe and keep the step at 6".) That makes so much sense as to why I was thinking "How the heck does Cathe expect...

    Blasts - Leg work?

    Hi Cathe, Are the blasts considered "leg work"; such that I would want a recovery day before doing lower body weight work? For instance, in LowMax, if I did the premix of intervals 1-4 on Monday, would I want to wait until Wednesday to do lower body work such as B&G with maybe doing cardio or...

    barbell

    What kind/weight barbell should I get? I'm looking for something I can grow with. I have used 3, 5,, 8 & 10 # dumbbells in the last couple years working out with The Firm workouts. I have recently started using Cathe workouts which I really enjoy. I have LIS, LowMax, and the new series. I...

    Which new workout to start with after LIS & LowMax?

    I am an intermediate exerciser. (I've been Firming for several years.) I have recently discovered Cathe. I love Low Impact Step. I also like LowMax. (I love the 45 minute premixes!) I still flub up the choreography occasionally with LowMax. I plan on starting to use my new Cathe dvd's...

    Trouble with length of workouts

    Debbie - Thanks for your response. That makes sense. I guess I've always had the mindset of starting a workout at the beginning and ending at the end. I guess I'm a follow the rules kind of person. That's interesting that you asked about warmup and cooldown though. I do remember in order...

    Trouble with length of workouts

    I have been working out for several years with videos. I have used mostly Firm workouts. I have recently started with Cathe. I have Low Impact Step & Low Max. (I enjoy both!) Typically, I work out 30 - 45 minutes a day 4 - 5 days a week, which works well for me. Rarely will I use a workout...

    weights to start with

    Question for Cathe or any of you knowledgeable Cathe fans: I've been using the Firm videos for a couple years. I have read quite a bit that I should increase my weights over time. However, I am still using my original set of 3, 5, & 8 pounds. I occasionally use my 10#'s. I just preordered...

    Preorder or buy older?

    Boy, that took me a whopping 1 1/2 hours to cave. I just preordered the 4 dvds. I kept telling myself: I'm in a slight rut, and when I was on my Firm "kick", everytime I got a new Firm in the mail, I would continue to be motivated. I'm looking forward to receiving the new Cathe workouts, but...

    Preorder or buy older?

    I have been Firming for a couple years. I tried Cathe's Basic Step when it came out and sold it because I thought the step workout was too easy (boring). Silly me I didn't even try Body Fusion before I got rid of it. I bought Low Impact Step a few months ago and love it. I can get the...
