Yes I did warm up, a brisk walk of about 1/2 a mile, and did stretch. Do you know what is a normal window for most to adjust to this kind of impact or is it just to different from person to person?

I were New Balance, shoe number 715. They are two years old but are in very good shape. I pretty much only where them to workout and mainly I workout indoors. I do kickboxing at home KPC & a Kathy Smith kickboxing and I know that's heavy on the joints but when I do it in good for I don't have...

I run from time to time for a differant kind of cardio workout. I haven't run since last fall (CAN NOT run in the cold, yuck!) so I am not adjusted to it. Yesterday I ran 3.5 miles (the most I have ever done is 4 miles) and was so excited that I was in such good shape I could do this much...

They are made by PlateMate. Their phone number is 800-877-3322. Here is a link to the website and the plate set I bought. http://www.theplatemate.com/hex.htm I bought mine from a local fitness store and saved big time on the shipping. In store they were $25. I was really skepital at...

Ok this is kinda a personal question but while pregnant how much weight have you gained while working out during the pregnancy? Also have you lost any leg muscle since the pregnancy? I am not pregnant but when I do get pregnant again I am going to do it much smarter than the last (meaning not...

There's really no one else I can "boast" my accomplishment to who would get it so I am boasting to you gals. So I have moved on from the Firm to Cathe. I was a little worried I wasn't able to do PLB with my current weights (intermediate I know) 20, 24, and 30lbs. Well I did PLB with these...

I'm a smig confused how this workout is to be used. It says it has seven premix workouts, then all of the chapters. So when you say for instance you like the LL workout that means you select LL and it is a workout for 9 minutes (as shown on the list under dvd). Do I have this right? And the...

DH and I have been doing ab workouts together, actually Denise Austin. He is an incredible runner. He can run 8+ miles on the high terrain of the Missouri Ozarks. Did a small hike with him and about passed out when he told me it was about 1/8 of the amount he usually runs! Well he is VERY...

Just wanted to ask a question to those who consider themselves advanced. Do you lift as much as Cathe? I am definately intermediate so was just wondering about those who really punch it out. Really just want to see if her weight amounts can be done by "normal" people! ;-)

Does this dvd allow you to turn off the music, voice overs and such like L&G/KPC dvd?

Not Cathe here but I can relate to you. I had my son 2 years ago. Before I had him I was not very active. So I took it slow started out with walking and worked up from there. I wouldn't do anything much than walking until your 6 week post partum checkup. Even after then be careful on taking...

RE: Bliss My local news did a story on them. They are rounded at the heal and toe (sorta semi-circle like) so you have to work to keep balance on them. Basically it's a daily balance workout of extreme low impact. They are to work the glutes. But a local doctor said yep they are a crock and...

not an expert but can't you do any cardio you want interspursed with weight lifting and achieve great results? I am getting the PLB/PUB dvd and am going to combined it with my KPC/LG dvd. So I guess I'll be trying this rotation myself. I think if it sounds motivating to you go for it!

It sounds like you haven't put in enough time to see noticeable results. You should see results in about 4 to 6 weeks of consistant workouts. I am new to Cathe so I don't have any comments on other workouts for you to use. But my lower half has always been a tough place for me to reduce and...

Ok so if my max would be two 15lb dumbbells (totaling 30 lbs) where should I start at, 5lb dumbbells (totalling 10 lbs) ?

Ok, this is a more thought out question than my previous. :-) I am getting PLB & PUB dvd. My question is does Cathe say in the beginning what her weight increments will be? I know I am no way able to lift what she can and I don't want to over do it for myself. Also I will be using...

ok forget this post. First I thought it used a medicine ball and that is what I was talking about in my post, when I said stability ball. Second, I guess I need to buy a stabiilty ball now I now what the darn thing is. Sorry for the goofy answer.

I just bought PLB. I see that the floorwork uses a stability ball. Can I use a dumbbell instead or if that is to awkward how about a soccer ball? I don't have the money for a stability ball right now so I'll have to improvise or skip this part of the workout.

They are to keep the weights from slipping out of your hands. When your sweating up a storm it's nice to have some friction.

Ok now I have to pipe up because no one else has. I have Shape, even though I agree about the models (oh by the way doesn't one particular model show up ALL the time, rant, rant...). Although I am not at an advanced level, gettin there, but just found Cathe. Anyway, what bothers me to NO end...
