    Les mills pump

    I second Power Hour and Hi reps. I would also include Muscle Endurance and some of the newer metabolic workouts even though the rep count is still too low. I gained the most strength benefit by following few weeks of high rep work with STS. You can never be too aerobically prepared for STS...

    Pre-Order Cathe's New Ice Series

    What I would like to see in this series: 1-Two 10 to 15 minute stretch segments, one with more focus on upper body and one on lower body. I think this is the one thing that was missing in STS 2-Leg blasts that include leg presses on the tall step 3-A running timer in one of the corners...

    Pre-Order Cathe's New Ice Series

    I learned a decade ago not to make guesses on whether I need or don't need a new Cathe workout. I just order and let Cathe take me down a new path. I think the last few series really show off Cathe's years of experience. The workouts are getting smarter and more efficient. I'm ordering the...

    Dedicating today's cardio to my Brother-in-law :(

    Nanbo, So sorry for your loss. Your post painted such a vivid and beautiful picture of your brother-in law. You and your family can take some comfort that he is no longer in pain. What a great way to celebrate his life!

    So Stress and nothing is going right

    Kim, I'm so sorry you are going through this horrible experience. I understand how you feel particularly the need to save your beloved dog. I lost 2 cats to a vaccine induced cancer and tried to save them at all cost. The cancer was supposed to be localized and rarely spreads to other areas...

    Eqiupment Questions (slide discs, step, etc)

    If you are still looking for Cathe's cardio step, you can find it at: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/aa/cardio-club-step.html It is the only place I was able to find it recently. IMO, this step is a must for anybody who does a lot of step workouts. I think this company is selling what is...

    Anyone else coughing coughing coughing????

    I think I am coming down with a cold also. My fault for cutting down on protein intake since I had few days off work. The only time I catch a cold is when I drop my protein intake. I'm hoping I caught it in time. Here is a list of what works for me: -Bromelain (from pineapple) or eat...

    New Stretch DVD?

    I second TLC's suggestion. Karen Voight knows her stretches. You might also want to try Lastics. There are 2 of them. Check out clips at Total fitness DVDs and see if you like these.

    Need some replacements for the January Rotation - any ideas?

    If you have Drill Max and Low Impact Circuit, you can use those. DM and LIC are great for intense fat burning circuits. TTM and Crossfire will also work well. In LIS, AB, CS, and AT will substitute for the Low Impact X10. I like all 3 but AT is a favorite. With the right weights, it is a...

    If I can only buy 1-2 DVDs?

    My suggestion is to stick with what you have right now and save up for the next presale which should be coming up within 6 months. Focus on increasing the weights you use safely during that time. Get a jar and pay yourself whatever change for a dollar you have left in your pocket every day you...

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

    I have to admit I wasn't thrilled when Cathe announced the RWH series. I'm sick of HIIT in all of its form. However, I knew better than not to preorder. I knew that Cathe wouldn't put out a generic mostly forgettable set just to do HIIT. Plus I am buying for 2. I am soooooo glad I...

    Low Back Stiffness

    Low back pain for me usually means IT band tightness. I usually feel it on the left side more than the right but that is just me. It took me a long time to figure it out since it isn't the most obvious explanation. Now I stop the workout after the warm up and do IT band stretches on the half...

    Too Much Off the Beat, Not for Me

    I have tried the combined low impact Hiit workout 3x so far and I love the music and the workout. I don't think Cathe could have done a better job putting it together. I think of the workout as training for speed and agility with great cardio benefit. The music keeps me moving. I found...

    Mark Lauren

    For what it is worth, I really like Lauren's workouts. I haven't bought much other than Cathe's workouts for the last 2 years. I tried YAYOG first after reading Jen's posts. I really liked the workouts as add-ons to short cardio. I can see myself doing them after Cathe's new cardio workouts...

    I can't wait, but DH doesn't get it...

    Maddiesmum: I could have written your post. I'm not prone to depression but stress and anxiety are another story. My workouts keep me centered. I often have the same discussion with DH about my need for so many DVDs that you have with yours. Mine insists that 10 is the optimal number of...

    Washer Dryer Recommendations

    We bought from Lowes a Samsung washer and dryer about 5 years ago with an extended warranty. The dryer broke down in its 4th year. The repair guy Lowes sent recommended Whirlpool. He said he hardly ever gets called to repair them and they are easier to take apart. He also said not to bother...

    Needing help ridding fat layer

    Nothing gets rid of subcutaneous fat and increases your BMR as well as high rep weight workouts done with a challenging weight. My suggestion is to do 3 months of high rep followed by STS. Cathe doesn't have too many high rep workouts. I supplement with Jari Love's first set and some of Power...

    I can't wait, but DH doesn't get it...

    This is such a cute thread. DH doesn't understand my workout DVD collection except for my Cathe DVDs. He has been working out with Cathe since KP&C. We used to be able to workout together. I have fond memories of doing ME and MM together and passing various weights back and forth. He...

    Low Impact HiiT Two is a Metabolic Workout

    I am really hoping for some premixes that combine footage from the high and low impact workouts. Same for the upper and lower circuits. It would be nice to have the variety built into the dvds without having to create it with the workout blender. I have to admit I have been checking for...
