I have a lot of Cathe's Step DVDs and I would like to get something new to do. I already have Hardcore Extreme, Low max, Step Blast, BM2, Cardio fusion, CTX, The Classics, Cardio hits, Rhythmic step and the Terminator. I like to do high intensity step. Even though it's older, is Bodymax worth...

Hi, I'm looking for a upper body workout to do for a couple a weeks to follow GS and S&H. Which one would provide a tough Upper body workout: SS, P&P, BM2, CTX, Muscle Max, the segments from ME + BC in Terminator? Do you have any other suggestions which I haven't mentionned? Thanks...

Knowing that, it will help me staying motivated in doing them. It will act as a motto when those burns become too hard!!!!! Nathalie }(

Hi, In the past months, I have been using S?H and GS for upper body strength training. I wonder what shold I workout with to keeep increasing muscle and not lose what I've build up so far. I can only workout 3 times/week. A typical week would look like this: - Sunday: cardio + legs from...

I agree that HCE is much harder. The intervals from Imax 3 are much harder than the ones from BM2 and Drill Max. To me, HCE is more flexible. I most often do HCE #2 but on days that I feel more energetic I mix up parts from HCE #2 and #3 to add more intensity. But both CF and HCE are great high...

I like it too. I have other of Cathe's strength workouts but I find I always come back to S&H! It'a like you said Elsie: the exercises are great and hard and yet, the pace and Cathe are relaxed. Great DVD! Nathalie

Hi everyone, In the Gym styles series, Cathe often does "bonus burns" with the band. I tend to skip them because I find them hard and I like it better when the pace is slower. I was wondering, what are the benefits from those bonus burns? I'm sure they are there for a reason! Maybe that could...

Hi Stephanie, Gym styles and Slow & Heavy are both great. It seems to me that I got more definiton from S&H than the GS. And I do agree that because of the slower pace, S&H is easier on the joints, especially for shoulders. For back and triceps, I prefer GS but for shoulders, it's S&H...

I tried them a couple of times in PUB and in the "Tough core" premix in Core Max and spent more times trying to not to fall on my face than doing the actual exercise!!! Does anyone else have trouble with that one? And do some of you have tricks on #1 how to stay on the ball :7 and #2 how to do...

I do all of it on a 6" step. Switching to an 8" height would be a hassle and to hard for me anyway. But, to keep it intense enough for me, instead of doing it in the proposed order, I mix it up and start with 1,2 or 3 (if I'm daring!) intervals. I often use the intervals from Workout #3 and then...

Hi Shari, I got Cardio fusion before getting BM2. Like Allison said, the first combo is from BM2 and has no breakdown. It is tricky at first but after a while I was able to master do it. Give yourself time and you will be able to get it. It is worth it. As for Imax 2 or 3, I have them via...

Hi Vicky! You won't make a mistake by getting S&H. It's great for developing strength and the slow pace allows me to get good form. Nathalie

Hi, For cardio, you might want to look at something that is high intensity since you seem to be in a very good shape. On the cardio & weights DVD, you have Imax2 which is high intensity but the choreography is not too instricate. You might also like Cardio fusion or Body max 2 (that one also...

Hi, I'm not an expert but if I understood correctly from what my PT told me, any position that flexes the spine causes tension in the lower back (even sitting but to a lesser degree!) . If effort is added, it's harder on the lower back, no matter how strong we are. So, any position that asks...

You do have a good point about imbalance. I never really saw it that way: I was thinking more about not increasing my problem. Your suggestions about working out with lighter weights and doing less reps make a lot of sense. With that in mind, it makes it worth to get GS Chest & Triceps!!!!! :7...

Hi everyone, I plan to get GS Biceps, back & shoulders but am not I'm wondering if I should get GS Chest & Triceps. I avoid working chest because I have a tendency to slouch and chest workout would incrase that tendency. I already have SHH, the CTX series, PP&SS, BM2. But, even wtih all...

Since I like lifting heavy but also need to build up endurance, I might follow your suggestion and get both!!!! :7 Nathalie

I hear a lot a good comments about Gym styles and am thinking of buying it because of the good reviwews. But, I'm wondering what type of workout is it exactly and how is it different from, for example, MM, the Pyramids or ME? Nathalie

It does help! Thanks! I already have S&H and am thinking of getting Gym Styles. I do the same as you do and avoid chest work in order to avoid slouching even more! Nathalie
