Hi, I got Amy Bento's ASC II and even though I knew the choreography was complex I got SO frustrated when I tried it (And I had previewed it first!). She does explain some moves but there's a whole bunch of other ones that she just goes into, without any breakdown and does not repeat them often...

Hi Kristin, You can use a barbell from the start. It depends on its weight. My barbell alone is only about 4 lbs. So if you add only 2.5 ou 5 lbs you could still have a light weight to lift. If you purchase a barbell kit, they often come with various weights so you can adjust it to your...

Diet (again!) And I think that if the more "endo" type of body (which I am), the more the diet needs to be clean. At first, I thought that a clean diet was similar to a sensible diet (you know, the 4 food groups, no fast food, treats once in a while, etc.) but now it seems to me that...

I seem to be built a lot like Cedie (ectomorph I think). Does that mean that for me, a good amount of exercise and weights even with a sensible diet (I heard that diet seems to be the key to definition) would not be enough to get definition easily? and that to get the definition I want, I need...

I wouldn't have thought that the glycemic index was such a great part of clean eating. It might make the difference between a sensible diet (ex.: not fast food, whole grains but 1-2 chocolate chips cookies a day!) and a clean diet. As I also saw in another post, body type seems to influence...

Hi Cathe and everybody! From all I have read on the forums, I understand that to get definition, clean eating seems to be the key. I have trouble understanding why it is so. If you exercise properly, do weight training (to get those muscles you want to show!!!) and work on losing weight...

Thanks a lot Cathe. I'll try it! Nathalie

Hi Cathe and Cathe nation, I'd like to do an upper body workout using 4DS but in a timersaver version! Do you have any suggestions onwhich exercises to choose to get a thorough workout in about 40 min.? Thanks Nathalie

cksales Are they still open? I used to buy from them but I thought they were closed. I typed www.cksales.com but I got something that looked like a car website! :confused: I sure would like to know how to reach them because they were the only canadian vendor that I knew of and with the...

Gauntlet Is BC tougher than the Gauntlet? Nathalie

I second what the others said: both GS and 4DS are great but since you want cardio, go for 4DS. Nathalie

I second the suggestions for Rhythmic step/Imax 1. Those 2 workouts would compliment what you already have and they are fun. For weight workouts, I also second PUB/PLB to tone your muscles. For strength, you might consider Slow & heavy. Others say that of all Cathe's workouts, it is considered...

IMO Step blast is one of Cathe's best workouts: the setting (music, set, lighting, clothes) is perfect, the intensity is perfect: not as intense as the Imaxes but intense enough to feel that you had a good workout, especially with the blasts at the end. And I like Cathe is this workout: she is...

Thanks for your comments Clare. I did not know that CTX was more comprehensive as an endurance workout than ME. I think I'll follow your advice and hold off the purchase of ME for a while. I'll wait and see if the STS endurance workouts might suit my needs! Nathalie

Which workouts from Jari Love would you recommend?

I already have the Terminator, PUB, Power Hour, CTX, Bodymax??? I which to do more endurance type workouts for the upper body (high reps, low weights). Do I have enough with the ones I already have or should I add ME to my collection? Nathalie

It's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I have been thinking for a while that I should switch to lighter weights and higher reps. I keep thinking about those marothoners who are very lean: they work more endurance than strength. If I wish to do more endurance workouts for...

There strong but they don't have definition. Ilknow they could never look like Cathe's but I would like enough definition to show that I'm working out. Right now, they lack that. Nathalie p.s.: After I've tried many, I was able to find a suit that fit! Phew!

I dont't have ME. WouldPUB be a good substitute for it?
