    Step 360--I think I must have!

    I saw some of those reviews as well. I haven't watched the DVDs yet. That might be one of my w/e projects if I finish switching my summer/winter clothes in time. ;)

    any other cardio dvd's as tough as Cathe?

    A 3rd for Amy Bento. Also Tracey Staehle (www.fitbytracey.com) has some pretty good stuff too. Both are a bit more complex than Cathe, but both also have super-high intensity levels. I really enjoy Goudeau's workouts, He's fun, has a great personality & excellent production, but he's more...

    It's official--I've found the most complex step ever!

    It is a total blast! It's about 60 minutes long including the warmup. I admit I do tack on a few combos from another workout to reach my cals burned goal. It is chaptered, thank goodness, but no premixes. I previewed it a couple of times, then I just previewed the final product. I swear...

    They're not the same, Phyllis. Cathe wears girls' cargos & Ts. The stuff in FO's DVDs are pretty much men's clothes. They make the women look like boys. :confused:

    Step 360--I think I must have!

    Oooh good idea. I think I have all the bosu workouts. Mylrea & Glick. They've been collecting dust for years now. Maybe it's time to dust them off. ;) I think the best way to get used to Rebecca's style is to get her Step Formula Workshop. It's def. the most basic of her DVDs (actually...

    It's official--I've found the most complex step ever!

    15. LOL! It is more intense than most of Fitness Organica's stuff. My HR stayed in the mid-upper 160s for most of the workout, over 170 here & there, which is pretty high for me. I can't do Cardio Core Circuit. It's so high impact it's too painful for on my pf & bunion. :( MrsYancy &...

    Found him on FB. OMG is this guy smokin hot! He makes Danny Terio look like a woofer LOL. He's Hungarian. And married. To a woman that'd make most of us look like woofers too. :p

    Step 360--I think I must have!

    I have my TRX attached to my pullup bar. I've done a lot of YouTube & I just pick 7-8 exercises that I'll do 20-30 times. I try to mostly follow Cathe's lead--I'll do 1-2 for overall core, 1-2 for lower, 1-2 for obliques & 1-2 for upper. Rebecca is nothing like Cathe. Cathe is a more...

    It's official--I've found the most complex step ever!

    Rather than revive the old thread I figured this guy deserved one of his own. He is A-MA-ZING!!!!! I thought I was pretty good w/complex choreo but I'm on my 3rd preview of this DVD & still not ready. It's very very dance oriented & looks so much fun! Part of the problem is def. the cuing...

    Step 360--I think I must have!

    I got it from HSN for $99 & free shipping. :) Still hasn't arrived but should be here any day. I'm curious, how did you like the TRX class? I got the system for home & I'm still wrestling w/it--I mostly have trouble adjusting the length quickly & so it stays in position. It drives me crazy...

    Step 360--I think I must have!

    OK I ordered. Found it on HSN for $99 plus free shipping. I'm really looking forward to this--I just hope it's wide enough to do some of the more complex step like Rebecca Small. I'm excited to get it, will let you know how it goes!

    Step 360--I think I must have!

    Hi Janie--you can find a ton of clips on YouTube if you search for Step 360. I have to warn you though, if you watch the clips you will not be able to stop yourself from buying this thing! :D

    Step 360--I think I must have!

    Looks like a bosu had a baby with a club step. :D I saw it at my gym & it looks so versatile--I'm thinking you could do actual step routines on it & it'd be so much easier on feet & joints, & I see myself using it w/the new TRX system, & apparently you can use it for curcuit training too. So...

    Can you MATCH Cathe?

    I'm surprised it's only 10-15 lbs. I remember hearing STS filming went for 12-15 hours per day. And I believe she also had the flu. I can't imagine doing bicep curls or military presses w/my normal weight for 12 hours straight! :eek:

    Has anyone gotten eyeliner tattoo?

    The liner on my upper lid disappears within seconds thanks to my drooping eyelids (yes, there is surgery in my future, but not yet), plus I'm tired of all the smudging & spotting. I'm seriously considering the liner tattoo, but my mom had it done in the '90s & she said it hurt like hell & it...

    planter fasicitis

    Yes, my PF is caused by flat feet. I have several pairs of custom orthodics. My podiatrist always teases me when he makes the imprint b/c there's no curve on the inside of my foot at all. :confused: Fortunately my insurance does cover 2 pairs per year--they cost over $600. :eek: My mom just...

    86 YO gymnast--so inspiring!

    Caught this lady on Colbert the other night & was awed & amazed at her athleticism. Something we can all strive for............I'm no gymnast, but I hope I can still do what I'm doing now in 40 years! 86-year old Johanna Quaas demonstration on PB - "Turnier Der Meister" Cottbus 2012 - YouTube

    planter fasicitis

    The shot is just cortisone. It's an anti-inflammatory. It won't affect your weight at all. Stretching helps, the splint can help, good physical therapy helps (ultrasound therapy & some painful massaging). Staying off it helps. Honestly I can't tell you what's best for it. I've had it for...

    Shoe rave

    Sorry, no. High impact is no longer part of my routine. Oh how I miss my Cathe cardio! And Amy.......and Tracey.......oh well, no more whining. I've actually really been loving the complex choreo of lower impact workouts, so I suppose every cloud has a silver lining. :)

    Shoe rave

    I just had to tell you all that, based on a Yahoo recommendation (which I think came from a Shape article?) I got these shoes, & they are fabulous for step: Reebok ZigNano Fly 2 - Women's - Running - Shoes - Carbon/White/Silver/Major Purple/California Blue I got them b/c as some of you know...
