I went back and looked at the little video clip they have on their website. It looks like that you would be lifting the weights when pushing up so maybe it is assisted because you don't have to do put the weight on your back. I guess I could just contact Powertec and see what they have to say...
I was looking at that one myself and wondering if it would be worth it. Amazon has it a little bit cheaper and with free shipping. If you go on Powertec's website they have a little more info about it.

I'm wondering what the advantage of the...
Mine is pretty self-evident as well. I've always been the girl who loved horses but never had the chance to ride. When I was in my early 30's I started riding and got my first horse at 35. I found that when I was exercising regularly (with Cathe of course), my riding greatly improved.

RE: LilMoFit...

Here's an idea for those who have Netflix. They have some exercise workouts (not Cathe though...darn it). They don't have all the workouts by all the instructors, but it might be a decent way to see if you like a particular instructor before purchasing one. I got a Kelly Coffey-Meyer workout...
Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for posting that link! I too have trouble with these, and after looking at it, I don't think I'm bracing properly... I'll be sure to pay attention to that today in my workout.
Thanks again,

Hi Nancy,
I think you need to decide if you want someone to handle your money for you or if you would like to do it yourself, possibly with your brother's advice. I can certainly understand the fear of losing what you have, especially if you have done so in the past. Perhaps having his advice...
Hi!
I was a lurker too and recently decided to join the forum. I discovered Cathe back in the early 90s but due to life (kids, grad school, change in career, etc.),workouts haven't always been able to have a high priority. Now that I'm at a place where I want to work out on a regular basis...
