Thanks, Monse, I liked your ideas as well!! An Imax 4 would be fantastic, as would a High Step Training Advanced 2 - I love the original!!! So many tough moves in that one (one arm dips, traveling pushups, the six sets of leg presses - not to mention the intense cardio sections!) but it's...

Hi, Cathe! Just wanted to tell you that I LOVE Shock Cardio! Step Moves, Cardio Core Circuit, MMA: Fusion, and Circuit Blast are particularly fantastic! I actually have a question, too. Yesterday, while doing Circuit Blast, I noticed that during the drill where we jump over the step...

Hi, Jo-Jo! I was trying to figure out which Shock Cardio workout is my favorite, and it must be Step Moves because I've done that one four times so far!!! I just love it!

INTENSITY SERIES 2: Imax 4 Cardio and Weights 2 (a step circuit workout) Band Bootcamp (perhaps this could be the workout Cathe mentioned as 'Travel Fit 2' with cardio sections using the band and band work during the strength segments. Maybe the band could be used during the core...

I would LOVE this!!!! Someone on another forum posted the idea of doing a cardio/band circuit workout where you would do cardio drills using the band (like the band hops or lateral skates from plyo legs) alternating with band work for upper and lower body. They also suggested ending this...

Except for the first time I tried the STS Meso 1 leg workouts, PLB gives me lower body DOMS like no other workout. Oh my gosh! And the standing work is only about 30 min. long. I love it!!!

I couldn't agree more!!! In Cathe's initial Shock Cardio post, she told us the timeframes of all 11 workouts and didn't stray from the original plan. Some people are upset over the lack of cooldowns, but if 3-5 minutes of each workout had been taken out of the cardio portion and used as a...

Hi. I did the cardio only premix for Cardio Core Circuit and went to enter it into the Workout Manager, but there are not premix options listed for Cardio Core Circuit or Circuit Blast. Just wondering if these could be added. Thanks!!!

I hear ya and couldn't agree more with your post! In Kick Max, Cathe says "Treat these punches just like an upper body workout," and sometimes I feel so sore and tired after a boxing or kickboxing workout, it's as though I had done an upper body workout!! I did STS disc 2 yesterday so today my...

What a beautiful post, Annette. I feel so fortunate to know you. You truly are one of a kind (and that is a compliment of the highest order!). Hugs, prayers, and well wishes go out to you and your family at this time.

Hello fellow Cathletes. Yesterday, Annette (Aquajock) received the sad news that her brother passed away. Feel free to post some encouraging, empathetic words. I'm sure she'd take comfort in hearing from her fellow fitness friends during this time. ~~~~ Annette - you and your family are...

This morning I tried Cardio Core Circuit for the first time. Perhaps it's the mix of jumping around and then going right to the ground (with a brief rest in between), but I thought this workout was tougher than HiiT 30/30. Oh my gosh! Not sure when, but at one point I said, "Are you kidding...

Hi, all. Any healthy, tasty crockpot recipes you guys would like to share?? Thanks!!

So glad you liked it and remained pain-free during the workout! I really enjoy MMA: Kickbox too. I see myself turning to this workout a lot because so much of the step I do is high intensity/high impact (Imax, Athletic Step, Plyo Legs, Cathe's HiiT, etc), so it's nice to have a lower impact...

Hi, Laura! I did preview it before I tried it, but I honestly don't think you need to. I agree with other posters in that the part that confused me a bit is that little three-count run on the step, but by the time Cathe put all the combos together, I had it. This is a really fun workout and...

Hope your recovery is quick and smooth! I actually think some of Shock Cardio (MMAs, especially) will become harder the more often I do them as once I know the moves I can focus on form of punches, height of kicks, etc.

Oh, Charlene, thank you for this question and Cathe, thank you for this answer!!! I've tried all but three of Shock Cardio's workouts now and would rank those I've tried exactly how Cathe ranked them. MMA Boxing and Athletic Step were a lot more intense than they appeared to be during my...

Hah! I have to tell you that first time I did 30/30, I was sucking wind big time but after the line taps were done, I looked in the right hand corner of the screen to see how much rest time we had left thinking, okay, I *think* I can handle one more drill - but there was no timer! I thought...

Hi! Personally, I would love to see: Imax 4 Similar in set up and style to the first three Imaxes :). A heavy bag workout Like the bonus bag segment from MMA: Boxing, but as a full workout (like 45 min or so). Total Body Weights Something in the 8-12 reps/2-3 sets range that uses...

I've tried half of them so far (MMA Boxing, Step Moves, HiiT 30/30, HiiT 40/20, HiiT Double Pyramid, and Circuit Blast) and have loved every minute of every single workout. Step Moves may be the most fun I've had doing a step workout since trying Rhythmic Step for the first time. Circuit...
