The DVD "jacket" says only 1 to 2 times per week for this workout.

I agree with Elena - but if you don't have a bench step yet - you will find the Pyramid upper body workout a challenge in one area because you need the bench to lie on for the chest flies. You can do them on the floor if you want - but they aren't as effective. HOWEVER - Muscle Endurance/Boot...

Oh - and Evelyn - it sounds like you are doing your weight work outs regularly every week even if you aren't doing 6 days of working out. I would take the week off of weight lifting and just replace what you are doing with steady state cardio. That's my opinion - and I'm sticking to it! :)

I agree, Dela. I take a week off every 5 - 6 weeks. But when I do, I am taking time off of HIIT workouts and weight lifting. I do cardio and stretching all week. I think the issue is about muscle recovery from weight lifting - not that we aren't working out. The muscles need time to repair. I am...

No - I'm too tall compared to those little women. AND I would be fumbling through the step. I'm a total clutz and can only do the step because I have repeated it in slo mo over and over and over. And sometimes, right in the middle of IMAX2, I will actually forget the steps. I mean really. . . ...

I'm actually getting a bit weary of the show. . . . It does get repetitive. And although it appears that everyone is nicer this time, they also don't seem very savvy. I mean - at this stage of the game, the best bet is to get rid of Ron so that the team can win the weigh-in. If they don't...

I second the vote for "Enchanted April," "Amelie," and "Jean de Florette." A couple more good French films: The Secret - about a family during the Nazi occupation of Paris. VERY GOOD! A Tout de Suite - about a young girl and a situation she gets in that leads her into some self-discovery...

My mom had this issue - hair started coming out rapidly - and went to a naturopath who suggested iodine. Now - before everyone jumps all over me. . . .yes, the medical association is very strict saying that we should not supplement iodine. I supplemented it during my chemotherapy and had no...

The ME/BC DVD were my very first Cathe workouts. You will LOVE them. You don't need a lot of equipment - I don't use a barbell - only dumbells for both. I also have limited space, and both of these workouts fit in my small space easily. I have seen wonderful results from both - the BC is a...

For Cathe workouts - do Basic Step/Body Fusion. The DVD also has extra sections with weight lifting - very basic, beginner stuff - and has the Stability Ball Abs. It's a great introduction to working out, to step (so easy to learn and follow) - and really - a good workout. It's all very low...

Now THAT is impressive! I can only hold 3# weights and only do 3 rounds of the slo mo leg burn for each leg! I hope to get where you are someday soon!!

I just did this one tonight - I am not starting STS until April. So I'm doing GS to get into the 3 day split schedule. This DVD is KILLER! To get through all the push-ups, I have to do the flat back - on my knees - not even a regular from-the-knees pushup. How embarrassing. But I get better...

I belong to a local CSA farm so I get fresh, organic, locally grown fruits and veggies delivered every week. Even though there are just two of us, I get the large box so I spend the summer making tomato sauce and chopping and freezing fruits and corn to eat all winter! With that said, my...

Hi Debbie - You have SO many DVDs. How impressive. No wonder you look so good in your picture!

It's so nice to meet everyone. I had no idea this forum had this kind of function. I'm learning all the ropes right now. And yes - I LOVE Capt. Janeway!

You know - I say make this as simple as possible. If you start splitting your workouts AND you have a "crazy" schedule, you might find it all becomes too intimidating and complex. Why not just do 3 - 4 days per week for 45 minutes and relax about it. Give yourself permission - because that...

Carola - What a relief for you - but you DO have to answer us now. What is this fabulous diet secret that gets rid of eye wrinkles!!!!! Life is GOOD!!! YIPPPPEEEEE for you, Carola! :eek: Lisa

I love to read all the "muscle" magazines at the grocery store and the book store - and not the women's magazines but the men's. You get the BEST form tips from these monster guys. And I covet all the food they get to eat. . . Anyway - all of them say whey protein within 30 minutes of a...

I'm a huge fan of the frog bra - I'm a 36/38 D cup. I have used them for years and LOVE them. My breasts do not move! And that is the way I like it. Lisa

I'm not starting until after my wedding on March 21st. I will be out of town for almost two weeks after the wedding - and I figure the week before the wedding will be really hit or miss when it comes to workouts. So I imagine I won't even try the 1RMs until I get back. I'm doing the Gym Style...
