Gobias, that is clever! I have a question. If you don't know, maybe someone else has tried your idea without the weight bench? I don't have a weight bench, but I do have the longer step and 10 risers (5 for each side). Is there any reason that I wouldn't be able to use your set up with my step...

If she has a car, you could put a steering wheel wrap or some other inexpensive item for cars in the basket. Fun socks with her favorite animal, hobby, etc.

My husband is working his way through STS, but I haven't had the courage to try it yet. :-) So, I'm not personally very familiar with the series and could be thinking of something different than what you're asking. So, if my answer doesn't make sense, feel free to ignore it. :) I'm thinking...

Amy, I am sorry about your diagnosis. I just wanted to point out that as bad as this seems to you, how do you know that it wouldn't have been worse or happened earlier in your life if you hadn't worked out? In other words, don't feel like you wasted your time. Your hard work most likely did make...

Ashaw, what about visiting with your mom outdoors? I can't take most medications (prescription or over the counter) without horrible side effects - sometimes with me ending up in the hospital. When I had my tubes tied (decades ago), they temporarily lost me on the table, because I was allergic...

Firemedic. For what it's worth, here's my two cents. Most bullies don't change their personalities when they become adults. In our actual lives, we are more able to choose with whom we interact, so by avoiding negative people, we tend to forget that bullies exist. That's why bullies love the...

I still use DVDs, so I don't know what's available on Cathe Live or Cathe Demand. I now own most of Cathe's DVDs. I'd been doing Cathe's step for years, but not strength. So, when I decided to add that to my exercise routine, I started at the beginning. She used to have a workout called Total...

I don't even know if this is possible, but... if it is, I'd really like "gentle" strength training. I'm not sure how to describe it, because I don't mean easy. For example, is there a way to work the abs as well as Cathe usually works our abs without the neck strain? I've noticed that when Cathe...

I started menopause when I was 27. The doctors said I couldn't take hormone therapy, because of my medication allergies. I was miserable (hot flashes followed by chills, night sweats, etc.) In my late 30s, I did a 10-day detox in order to support my husband's weight loss. I didn't need to lose...

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone on using lighter weights. I'm comfortable modifying for high impact moves when doing cardio. I've even found a few ways to modify moves that require a lot of pressure on the wrists. I feel comfortable modifying when it's needed due to anything that causes...

Thank you. Your explanation makes sense. I rarely get a chance to sit down, though, until a couple of hours after our evening meal. Do you happen to know if a warm-up is still recommended if a person has been standing - ex. dishes, laundry, etc. Oftentimes, on moving a lot (up and down stairs...

Hazlady, I do own Cathe's advanced fit tower DVDs, but I haven't gotten around to checking out the premixes yet. I haven't even taken them out of the plastic wrapper! I guess I've been a bit intimidated by them. :-) I'm an intermediate to advanced cardio exerciser, but strength, toning, etc., I...

Most of the time, I do my ab workout along with my other strength work, so I've done a warm up before my workout. I do cardio on other days, and yoga, mobility, range of motion, Qi Gong, or something along those lines for my rest day. I'm finding, though, that I'm reaching an age, where I need...

Debinmi, I do enjoy the Strong & Sweaty Total Body Giant Sets, but I also like the Muscle Meltdowns in ICE. I really like variety, so I wouldn't stop doing my other heavy weight DVDs if Cathe came out with all of the Meltdowns on one DVD. One can never have too much Cathe. :) Lady Vol Fan...

I recently purchased a used Fit Tower. The seller, however, is not selling the DVDs that originally came with the tower. A couple of years ago, somebody on Ebay was selling the 3 DVDs that came with the tower, but I didn't yet have a tower, so I didn't purchase them. I figured they'd come with...

I really enjoy the LITE series, especially the Pyramid Pump DVD that has all of the bonus pyramid pumps from the entire set and a core workout and stretch on it. I would like to have a similar DVD for upper body strength assembled from the ICE series Muscle Meltdown bonuses. It would be great if...
