Sorry Kim. I gave my copies away to someone who needed them more since I had also bought the advanced FT series. Perhaps Barbara Hinckley Paola could chime in here with a review? Clare

Karen: do you own YAYOG too? Are the 2 DVD sets very different from each other? Is it worth getting both? Should we start with one and progress to the other? Any recommendations? Thanks! Clare

The use of the step for step blast cardio, in Cathe's DVD library, is not the same as its use for a routine usually found in a steady state cardio DVD. My understanding is that shred cardio comprises step blasts so it will not be highly choreographed. Typically, I find step blasts no more...

The solution is to get a pair of WAGS. The you can do anything you want, totally supported, no pain. They are not cheap, but you'll never regret the $ invested. http://www.wristassuredgloves.com/ Clare

Yes, except bear in mind that the point, I think, about compound legs at that section of the workout is not to thoroughly strength train the legs, right? But rather to add to the cardio effect but changing up the impact by adding weight to the moves of the largest muscle groups in the body...

Hi Ginny: I'm not sure I even know or could define what functional fitness means any more. The world of fitness moves at a pace that almost rivals that of technology! I think a good way forward is maybe to focus on circuits/metabolic conditioning. I think the combination of a weighted move...

Bonnie: best article I've read about exercise in a long time. Simple, no bull approach and so darn funny! Thanks. Much appreciated. Can I share it with our FB Cathlete friends? Clare

And let's not forget the incredible, heavy weights upper body lifting program included in RWH! Pair this with the plyo leg work from RWH for total body program. You could do 3 weeks of this right after Gym Styles. Clare

I have to say, I was gratified to spy Cathe's hands gripping onto the mat during the stability ball hamstring roll-ins. I do this too, and had always wondered if it constituted a cheat!?!? So, hey, if the boss does it ....! Clare

Yep, we have ourselves a winner! And the music on this series is wonderfully upbeat. Great stuff! Good job team!!! Clare

Sherry: I wish I had something to offer you on this front, but alas, I have no experience or wisdom to offer. I can join your club in that I am dealing with my own recently diagnosed injury that will never go away and requires daily management, but I know nothing about sciatica. I hope...

Loads to choose from here! https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_13?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gliding+discs+for+exercise&sprefix=gliding+discs%2Caps%2C568&crid=3N84O5TL1SQXM Clare

The 4 DS total body weights is a fab premix: just skip the earlier chapters that do lower body and get right to where you need. I also think Total Body Giant sets would be good for this: there's a premix that is double the upper body or 3 times upper body. so you could try those. CTX has an...

This is exactly the response I would have written. For these reasons, Xtrain is more versatile and will see you through for longer. You can use it when you are injured or needing to ease up on high impact. Not so RWH. RWH is not forgiving at all. Clare

I looked at clips but then I thought that, for the $, Linda Wooldridge is better value. She specializes in pilates/barre fusion workouts, utilizing loops, bands, small weighted balls, gliding discs, some dumbbells, ankle weights, the barre, obviously. Her moves will duplicate and go beyond...

I asked because the model for this already exists in the 4 Day Split series where you combined the low and high intensity cardio workouts. Then I shall just have to eject a disk and fire up another and take short break while it loads as I make up my own cardio workout. I don't have the set...

I have a question: many people are happier about the shorter cardios on these new DVDs, but some of us like to have a longer cardio session. So, will there be a premix that links the cardio sections from all 4 workouts? PLEASE! Thanks for listening, Clare

Dare we hope lots of these moves are from the new Fit Split DVDs/workouts? Please say yes! Clare

No experience with Wellbutrin and any thyroid problems, but yes, experience with Wellbutrin. It is a well-tolerated drug. An SNRI, rather than SSRI, so it affects 2 neurotransmitters rather than throwing all its eggs into serotonin's baskets! I think that has something to do with how well...

I don't use premixes much. My favourite, and actually, the only one I ever use, is the 4 Day Split total body weights premix 97 mins. So, I would say that a total body premix on Fit Split is the logical way to go, and more than likely, the only premix I will ever use or need! Thanks for...
