    Question about the weight work in Crosstrainer Express

    strength vs. endurance Although I am FAR from an expert, i think it has more to do with the weight of the weight () that you are using, than with the number of reps/sets you do. For example, if you are using a heavy weight and pushing your muscles to fatigue with fewer reps in each set...

    Question about the weight work in Crosstrainer Express

    Strength, I think I'm under the impression that the reason the videos are one muscle part per tape/per day is to be able to really concentrate on building strength in each muscle. So, I guess that means they're more like the PS series. I'm hoping so, anyway Wendy

    rotations?

    Thanks Amy! That looks good, and then I was looking at the Ask Cathe forum, and noticed that she had just posted two rotations for two other people that pretty much fit the bill! Now, I just have to get through the waiting for the tapes to all get here--the only cathe video I currently have is...

    rotations?

    Hi there! Is anyone up for some internet personal training? Today I secretly purchased some videos in the wee hours of the morning while my sweet, unknowing significant other was innocently snoozing away. (I can't hide anything from him though! He noticed my incredibly cheery mood the moment...

    To SNM: impatient!

    happy to wait... Well, I'm not really happy to wait, but I'd rather know that the tapes will be well edited and produced and come out later, than edited poorly but arrive sooner. You know what I mean? It must be hard not to feel the pressure from the fans--and do a rush job that would be a...

    Portable Exercise Flooring?

    travels Pennsylvania will always be home, although I don't miss the rain. Well, make that I thought I'd never miss the rain, until I moved here and get more moisture from a dry sponge than I do from the sky! It never rains here! Supposedly it will at some point this summer, and I remember it...

    Portable Exercise Flooring?

    flooring tricia-- Maybe you could go to Office Max and get one of those things that fits kind of in front of/ behind/ under a desk. I wish I knew what they're called--they are big plastic sheets that rolling chairs can roll on better than they could on carpet. the bottom of them are kind of...

    Portable Exercise Flooring?

    NC and PA Hi--just had to respond when I saw your post. I grew up in Mercer PA, my dad went to Slippery Rock when it was still Slippery Rock State College. I lived in State College (home of Penn State University) from 6th grade until I graduated from PSU, and then I moved to Carlotte for four...

    10"-17"stool

    I have nothing to do on Sundays but play on the computer! Just kidding, but I am back on to see if anyone had responded yet to my other question, and I looked at the descrioptions of the new videos while I was at it. Now, never having one any of Cathe's videos except TWV, I am not familiar...

    Still not sure...

    Hi everyone. I've only posted a few times, and I'm always asking the same questions! Of course I get great answers, and then change by mind (or balance my checkbook) about which other videos I really need. So, here's the deal: I have TWV and have ordered the six new ones, and originally...

    What next?...

    Hi there! I finally got my first Cathe video (I had to wait a week, but I was out of town anyway, so I guess it wasn't too bad). By the way, the tape is The Wedding Video, since everyone reccomended it as a good starter. And it was great--I love Cathe's style, her cueing, and her...

    I did it

    Can't wait! You guys have an enthusiasm that is just contagious! Stop telling me about more--I'm going to find myself compelled to buy them! (just kidding--keep up the reccomendations, please.) I ordered them yesterday (Saturday) so I'm hoping that the wedding tape will be here by...

    Squished toes

    similar situation Hi lisa-- I'm not sure if you are experiincing the same thing I am, but it kind of sounds like what I felt in my left foot about 3 or 4 years ago. It started out wwith my shoe feeling too tight, and has since become a very painful problem, which I have yet to go to a doctor...

    I did it

    Well, I'm 90 dollars poorer, but feeling so good! My sweet and wonderful boyfriend saw me on this website so much that he decided to get me off of it by buying me the six new videos, and I threw in the Wedding Video to get me started on Cathe. I know I sound spoiled, but I'm really just poor...

    PS BBA

    hi Kim Sorry it took so long for me to respond! I've been gone for the past week and just saw your message. I can't find them in the Phoenix or Scottsdale (that's where I live, actually) libraries, and it's driving me crazy because I'm sooo poor right now! I just want to find the ones that...

    PS and other stuff

    Thanks! Wow. I never expected so many replies! I've been gone for the past week and have been dying to see if I got any responses. To make a long story short, I'm going to do it. Thanks, all of you, for your really helpful advice.

    PS and other stuff

    Okay, so now that I've been reading up on all these great videos, and I want to buy everything that Cathe's done, I'm having some nightmares about going into debt. I used to spend every weekend getting new exercise videos, but I've been out of that mode for awhile now. I think I'm interested in...

    PS BBA

    thanks! I was so happy to see responses, and such helpful ones at that! You have all convinced me to get some Cathe tapes, and it was great that you all pretty much agreed on which to try first. I'm sure I'll love them--how great to have a change not only in insructor but in workout style...
