Sigh. Wouldn't be lovely as an adult to do only those things that sparked your interest! But alas, Uncle Sam, my mortgage holder, my medical insurance carrier, the grocery store and a horde of others care only of those things that spark my income. Debbie Russo

The only "Shock" my workout got from Shock Cardio was from extreme disappointment. If I incorporated these short duration, easier intensity workouts into my program I would be back sliding. The only DVD I use is the HIIT and that is because I am doing all 3 workouts in one session...

Hindsight is 20/20. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Debbie Russo Wow sounds like I am a very bitter person... :confused: so here is one more Life is Good (hey maybe I should put that one on T-shirts and hats and stuff!)

Hi Kelly, I don't live in Odessa (in fact I had to google it). I live about 65 miles south in Lakewood Ranch. I am a transplant from NJ and have lived on the west coast of Florida for more than 10 years now. I really love it here and certainly don't miss the freezing Northeast winters...

Something that worked well for me in the past was to get a really large basket and pile all of the dumb-bells and plates etc. in it. Then I tossed a couple of decorative pillows on top. People always thought it was a great way to store extra pillows. No one ever guessed that there was a 100+...

Exactly how difficult these workouts are (or are not) certainly depends on the individual exerciser. To me that is not the big issue. I did the warm up from MMA Fusion yesterday and the form of the two guys is really weak. I work very hard on having the best (and safest) form possible and I...

Call me disappointed, too. I do feel that the workouts are on the easy side. No learning curve at all! But what drives me crazy is the terrible form of the background exercisers (with the exception of Lorraine!). The big guy with the dark hair has such poor form. It reminds me of the CTX...

Do I love my body? Good question. I love that I can squat 100+ pounds in MC3. I hate the way my thighs look during downward facing dog. I love that yesterday I did HIIT 30/30 and 4DS Bootcamp back to back and I thought it wasn't hard enough. I hate that I have to color my hair...

A-Jock I just finished previewing the HIIT workouts about 5 minutes ago. Individually they don't seem like "enough". What I was thinking is to tack one on to the beginning of a plyo legs workout. I had been doubling up on the blast portions of plyo legs because after Insanity, plyo legs...

Hi! I used the Reebok step for more than 10 years - it was great for its intended use of stepping - but once I got into serious weight lifting workouts I did buy the step that Cathe uses (and extra risers). I am 5'11" and the Reebok 10" inch height max. made it impossible to do effective leg...

Hey everyone: I still have not received my dvds. I was preorder #46! I live in Florida so snow is not an issue here. I definately have dvd-envy. I am so disappointed :( I must have selected the postal option, but come on, why are mine not here yet? :confused: Should I be worried...

Wendy, I am currently a personal trainer - certified through both the IFPA and ACE. I have had my certifications for more than 8 years now. If you are interested go for it, the knowledge will never be wasted... However, bear in mind that if you want to keep you certifications current, it...

Hi all, I am trying to find a book that I read eons ago, well actually sometime in the late '70's probably '77 or '78. I believe it was called The Bridge. The plot evolved around the premise that society became so "eco-correct" that it was a crime to cut your grass, step on a bug, eat...

Clothesminded - I actually did Plyo Legs today and was thinking about your question during my workout. Plyo Legs weight portion is still a demanding workout even without the plyo moves. The lower weight and higher repetition format does increase your heart rate, again, even without the...

Help please...I am not a cyber-socializer, but I did join facebook because of updates from Cathe. I have never really utilized it, but something just happened that is kind of freaking me out. Last week I googled the name of someone from my past and found that he had an "insurance" website. So...

Hi everyone - If you don't mind me asking, who is going on the Daytona Road Trip? I am on the fence about whether to go or not. There doesn't seem to be as much interest in this trip as there has been to the trips to Cathe's gym. I'm so undecided. I know it would be fun, but it is pretty...

Have a GREAT TIME. I love Heart. One of my all time favorites. Are you seeming them in PA? I have been checking out Heart's tour schedule hoping that they would head to FL some time soon, but their postings end in Oct. Hopefully they will up date it soon. Again, have a wonderful time, I am...

I think it was called "What Dreams May Come". The one with Robin Williams. Debbie Russo

Doesn't seem like the Tour Road Trip is creating the same excitement level as the trips to Cathe's gym. I live on the west coast of Florida, less than 2 hours away, but I don't think I am going to go. I don't think working out in a hotel conference center with 160 other people is going to have...

I don't think that they have finalized any other dates and/or cities yet. I wonder how much it will cost for the Daytona one. Anyone thinking of going to Daytona? Debbie Russo
