Hi, I was a regular FIRMie. Love Volume 1 and FS/FC and the Supers and TT but I own most of them. I used to Spin a lot but when time became an issue I had to switch to home workouts. The FIRM managed to keep my weight where it was even without spinning but after a year my eating habits were...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-10-02 AT 11:01PM (Est)[p]Hi, I agree with you, Cathe's physique is inspiring. She definitely makes having muscles look good. I noticed too that even with the narrow hips she says she couldnt change ( which I think look good ) her glutes are shapely. Most narrow hipped people...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-28-02 AT 01:27PM (Est)[p]S&H x 4 weeks with no cardio to get used to it. I slept and ate a lot. Dont wonder why if you dont get sore, you know it'll work if you feel tired and sleepy. lost weight from arms...very noticeable, was shocked since I did not do cardio. S&H x 2...

Let's bump this one up! I have been staying away from Body Pump classes because I read some book (Business Plan for the Body) saying our joints were not meant to do such high reps at that speed...plus I blame my elbow pain on it. I want to get arm muscles and shoulders for tank top season and...

LL...watch the quads bulge as you beg for mercy.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-25-02 AT 05:36PM (Est)[p]I use S&H for as long as I could keep at it... I stayed on it for 6 weeks, took one week off started another 3 weeks and now I'm doing cardio and one day of LL + Upper body (either GHAS or a Circuit from Muscle & Fitness Hers) and one Body Pump class...

RE: Hi Kiwi.... Skull crushers are the lying tricep extensions. When you lower it to your forehead ... you crush your skull? By the way, do you know what the different grips are and what parts they work by any chance? Does it matter?

RE: Ooops......^ Sorry. Oh yeah, I'm not about to give the padded one up! I love using it with my firm videos and Cathe's Leg workouts. Today I used the EZ curl bar and you can really feel the difference, I was so happy! The tricep press felt great and the skull crushers too. I used it for...

Cathe looks really nice in the tiny shorts and the bright tank tops, dont you think? The upper body looks great and she seems to have narrow hips and her lower body is muscular but not too muscular. I don't know how to describe it, but she makes having muscles look nice and still feminine. I...

Thanks Hollie! I was playing with it awhile ago and it did feel good to do curls and those skull crushers with it! The SO was laughing when I asked him what it was for, I have that padded Firm barbell and was complaining that it was hard to do bicep curls with it so he brought the EZ bar ...

Hi, Just received an EZ curl barbell and I guess it's supposed to make bicep curls easier to do because of the grip? Is that all there is to it? What else do you use it for?

RE: Another one How do you work th lower chest? I heard assisted dips hits that area, is there an exercise you can do at home that can target it too?

Hi, I work 2 12-hour days followed by 2 12-hour nights then 5 days off...this month we only get 4 days off in between. I tell you it takes me the entire day after that last shift to recover and half of the next day. i tried exercising during those shift days and felt like I wouldn't live...

Hi, Can I sit down on the step and just lean forward and do the same movement for posterior delts that way? I am having a real hard time with the bent over position and wondered if I can just use the seated position. Or can I do the usual posterior delt exercise where you just lift your arms...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-17-01 AT 08:50PM (Est)[p]Hi, I have skinny flabby arms. My triceps atleast, I did this series and worried that I'd gain weight or that my arms would look bigger because I cut back on what little cardio I was doing...but after a month my arms were noticeable skinnier and my...

RE: Hey Deb Those hurt you know! :P

RE: Poor Cathe! Hi, Oh no! I didn't mean to criticize Cathe at all about the power 7's...I just mean I don't enjoy those moves in general even in the gym. It's just that when instructors start with them they keep going and going and come on...be a tad creative, stop making me lunge to the...

Hi, I remember that awful seat so well...it feels like you were skinned right after the class. It took me awhile before I surrendered and bought padded cycling shorts ( I like tiny workout shorts and felt the cycling shorts looked goofy )I tried the gel seat but it made my inner thighs chafe...

Hi, my first tape was Powermax ... and I loved it right off the bat. I was so proud of myself because I managed to follow along and got the routine my second time through it. I don't have step works but it was one that I wanted to get at the time I got powermax...now it is a toss up between...

Hi, S&H has got to be one of the best series put together. I have a lot of videos and this series is one that I am happy to own. It really is very satisfying to work out to and is well paced. However, Cathe was right that it would be hard to keep doing it for long because it requires a lot of...
