It only has six. I was disappointed also because the expectation was set for seven.I was all geared up for the final cycle, and then it ended! I think they may have left a cycle out becaused on the website the write up on the Gaunlet also stated 7 cycles. I guess they can be forgiven since...

Hi Shevia! For a first Cathe DVD, I would have to lean more toward the classics. The choreography may be slightly easier to pick up than the others, and it will give you a broad base of moves that you will see in her other videos as well. They are all good workouts and you will be pleased...

Thanks everyone! I am glad to see I'm not alone! Actually, I used an electric pump and did get it blown up a bit larger, which helped alot...I still wish it was little larger, but definitely sticking with what I have for now. I do think that the planks/lifting one leg and the pikes would be a...

Question for those who have some knowledge of the stabilty ball - I purchased a ball for people 5' - 5'5" and it seems significantly smaller than the one Cathe is using. Should I have gotten the bigger ball? This has been bugging me - I am 5'1" and I think I have read here that Cathe is about...

This does help!! Thank you - as Cathe always says - this is such an educated crowd, and a great fitness resource as well!

I will be teaching at our Community Center in my city - at least initiatlly. I haven't purchased any liability insurance as yet - I would assume this is a must?? How much does this run? Thanks for the reply - I am really excited to be doing something that I enjoy so much!!

Hi all! - I recently got certified to teach group fitness. I was wondering if any of the expenses incurred as an instructor can be written off at tax time?? Such as music, mike belt, etc....? I would appreciate any knowledge on this subject. Thanks!

I have been going through the exact same thing with the treats. I am just going to throw all the Halloween candy out. This will deifnitely upset my kids, but it would be a good thing to get us all of the sweets. I don't want them to start to think chocolate is a part of their daily diet...

Thanks for the info! I will try #2 first. I love the drills in Cardio Kicks - the next day I feel like I worked weights, especially in my arms, lats, and butt. Sounds like Powerstrike will not disappoint in intensity..

Thanks! That's what I needed to know.....

I need another kickbox video. I love Cardio Kicks, but since we are not getting another kickbox in the intensity series, I was thinking of trying Powerstrike, which I have heard mentioned on this forum in the past. If anyone could describe the format and intensity (and fun factor!) of these...

Hi Lori! In my opinion, Karen has many strengths, but she really excells in the yoga and pilates. I have the DVD with the abs and back and the resistance ring - they are both excellent. (I also have Core Essentials and never use it because the other two mentioned above are better). They are...

Hi Lori! I don't know what could be making you so irregular, you did state that your periods were screwie on the pill as well. I am typically irregular, so I don't really even count days anymore! I did want to address your question about how you will know when you are ovulating. You need to...

Hi! I have had two babies, though no C-sections. However, I still can not show my mid section because I have an incredible amount of loose skin around the belly button (I had big babies!). Anyway, I asked my doctor how long it would take to get back to normal and she said the only thing to help...

Hi All! My birthday is coming up and I just caught my husband ordering the new series (all 3, plus the terminator!)...I'm so proud of him... Just wanted to share with others who would understand my excitement.....I'm ready for some new workouts...

Hi Anna! Karen is a great instructor and her videos are very effective. I think after her Strong and Smooth Moves tapes she started to focus her efforts more on Pilates type videos and intermediate work. I think her most advanced videos are the Power Packed workout, all floorwork, and it...

I would invest in the 40 lb dumbell. I have tried it with the short bar and have to stop several times because the plates slip in the vertical position, the collar just doesn't hold the plates that well....

I use the 5 and 8 lb. weights, and it is a great overall fitness conditioning workout, but I do not count it as one of my weight training workouts. I use it to kind of "polish off" the muscles after a good week of PS, PH, or MIS...

Sounds intense. The DVD player has been such a great investment in my workout room, since the chaptering makes it so easy to tailor workouts. I haven't figured out how I am going to fit these new videos into my rotations, but I am looking forward to some good workouts ahead!!

Thanks! That makes more sense (and also means all 4 DVD's will be on my Christmas list!!)...
