Purple-what I do is add a little more weight after a few weeks (even if I'm struggleing) and just do a few less reps than what Cathe is doing. I go to muscle failure. That will help you bust any plateaus.

I am a cardio klutz and did fine the first time doing C&W. Cathe is such a great cuer. If you can do one of her workouts now, you'll be fine.

RE: I can't wait to try it. I love C&W - the music is really motivating! And the workout is so much fun! I thought the tape was a little easier than Cathe's normal butt-kicking, but you can definitely up the intensity by adding more power to your moves. Sometimes I do that when I feel I've...

Another vote for LL and PLB. I have been experimenting with doing both tapes each week. So far so good . . .

Hi Krista :) Them low-ends are evil, aren't they? They still hurt me, too and I've had the workout for over a year now. I usually grit my teeth and close my eyes. That seems to help. I'm not sure why. Thank goodness no one sees me when I workout. lol! I always feel like I've accomplished...

I think my least favorite is Circuit Max. I just never grab for that one. I feel pooped after doing that one. Hmm...maybe I should try that one again. I think it's been a good 6 months since the last time I've done that one. I always like a good butt-kicking every once in awhile. }(...

Hi Nancy :) That sounds like a great idea seeing a nutritionist. I think good nutrition is key in getting a lean, strong body. About the sugar issue - I can tell you from my mother's experience about cutting out processed sugars in her diet. She went to the doctor a couple years ago for...

Hi there :) This is not a Christy or Franny tape, but the choreography is very interesting and it has intervals in it - Step this Way by Kristen Kagen. I love that workout! I agree with about Powermax. That is an intense workout!! That's one of my all-time faves from Cathes.

Hi Robin :) I am an ecto so it's hard for me to build muscle. I have tried lifting weights two ways: (1) heavy lifting and one body part per week and (2) doing a total body workout 2-3 times a week. Lifting heavy definitely got my legs into top condition (lean with no cellulite)...

Hi all :) Today I did the cardio from Power Circuit. It was a lot of fun!! Boy, am I sore from doing CTX shoulders/tris. I love the way CTX makes my muscles sore. :o Not sure what workout I will do tomorrow, but I am definitely making sure I get Bootcamp in this week. I think I'm getting...

Hi all :) Today I did the first 5 intervals of Imax2. It was so much fun! I definitely like Imax2 better than Imax. I also did CTX shoulders and triceps. My arms are already achey! Tomorrow I have a long cardio day planned. I'm thinking of doing Cardio Kicks, but not sure on that one. I...

Hello! Today I did the cardio premix from C&W, CTX Back/Chest, and the abs from LL. What a great workout!! I love the music in C&W. I had so much fun doing that workout. I can tell I am getting stronger because I upped the weights in CTX Back/Chest. Yeah! I think PLB/PUB can definitely...

Hi there :) I have been itching to do some CTX workouts so I dusted of LL today. Wow! That was a great workout!! I hadn't done that one in at least 6 months. I remember why I dread that workout so much - tough, tough, tough. I must admit though that I used a slightly heavier barbell (a...

Hi there :) I've had a crazy week so haven't been able to check-in. I am still doing the rotation. Here's my week (it's a little modified to fit my schedule) Mon-C&W (cardio only Tue-Bootcamp Wens, Thrs-rest Fri-PLB and CTX shoulder, tris, bis I know I've veered off the blast rotation...

Hi Katia, I wouldn't worry about the CTX cardio not being long enough - they are short, but pretty intense. Sometimes when I have a high energy day, I may do two CTX cardio workouts back to back. If you buy the series on DVD it's easy to do. I agree with Deborah though - add weight...

Hi Nicole :) I really like the skincare products by Almay with Kinetin. I use the sunscreen, moisturizer, and eye cream. I am 33 and I can definitely see a difference in my skin tone. My skins is definitely "glowing" more and I have seen the tiny little lines around my eyes disappear. I...

Hi Kathy - I agree with Jennifer. I had the same dilemna, too. Doing interval cardio really built up my endurance. Intense Moves is also the video I used. It is tailored so that a beginner or advanced exerciser can use it. The tape grows with you. You can do intervals of 15 seconds to 1...

Hi Wanda :) Thanks for posting your results. You are very inspiring. I am going to stick with the rotation for 8 weeks to see if I get similar results. I plan on upping the cardio a bit as well since I just love doing cardio. I need it for stress relief. And you're right - Boot Camp is...

My new favorite is PLB from the Intensity Series. LL is good, too although can't say I enjoy that one very much. :o Non-cathe would be Standing Legs by the Firm.
