    Need advice on purchasing a good DVD player?

    I believe the only DVD player still available with that feature is a Sony. Have you checked Video Fitness? They have a section that explains models and where to find this type of player. It is becoming almost obsolete because the only people who want to be able to cross program across DVD and...

    Our own music option

    I believe I read somewhere that with the new DVDs we will have a music on or off option. If this is correct, will you let us know the BPM so that our own music will match your beat?:-)

    Keep your brand PURE!

    :-) I am interested in the Cathe intro tape because I have so much trouble with her choreograpy since I have not been with Cathe since the beginning. It is very frustrating to not know the moves and have to break down a video into three minute segments to learn the steps. The Cathe tape will...

    New Video Poll

    :-) Please add me to the list of people who would love to have an "intro to Cathe Video". I love your pure weight tapes but struggle with the step tapes because I did not "start out" with Cathe and I am such a klutz. This is a wonderful idea. Thank you!

    Quit smoking and not gain weight?

    :-) I gained a little weight when I quit which I have since then lost. One thing that helped me was mint breath spray. Any smoker knows you really don't want a cigarette when your mouth feels nice and clean. Also the mint spray is much lower in calories than food. It worked real well for me!

    Terrible customer service ????????

    RE: Why? That thread was started at the same time that there was a lot of complaining going on about some FitPrime decisions. Many times Cathe is held up as having perfect customer service to other companies whose customer service is sometimes lacking. The whole point of that thread was that...

    TALL BOX v. NOVEL NOTION BOX

    I would go with the FitPrime box. I have the 8" aerobic version of the novel notion step and it makes a clicking nose. Also my fourteen inch wooden TallBox from the old Firm days is easier to grab because I can grab from the top rather than the bottom. Just a different viewpoint for you to...

    DVD & VCR Together?

    RE: added thought I have a DVD player and VCR both hooked up to my TV. I do need to change a setting in my TV when I use the DVD player but it only takes a couple seconds.

    Suggestions? - Upper Body Split

    I would like to see about 45 minutes for the actual upper body weight section and the other 15 devoted to abs, core and stretching. I like the full pyramid idea with plenty of time in the count to lift heavy when the reps are low, and a full one minute rest between sets, at least when doing...

    Proper Floor for intense cardio

    I used 1" by 2" boards and 4 pieces of 4 feet by 4 feet plywood and built a cheap floor in my basement. Sure beats jumping up and down on cement. My basement workout area is not a finished area, so appearance was not that importnant. I did recently put a 5 by 8 rug down but it does not cover...

    The Firm Questions

    Hi China The Firm was not sold but a company called GoodTimes is distributing them just as BMG and Artisan did in the past. I do believe without the GoodTimes money no new videos would have been made. The "Supers" are great! I love them both. Please note they are supposedly not "parts" tapes...

    New Cathe not sold by Collage?

    RE: I think I could be wrong but... 1. They did not want her to have her website listed on the video box. 2. May have had something to do with the volume discounts she offers here.

    S&H Reversed

    I have done it that way quite a bit because I have always resisted a long time in the negative portion of a lift. I think it is harder to do the six count on the positive, but that could be because I have always resisted slowly on the negative.

    pilates reformer

    I have a Performer (the inexpensive model from QVC), is that what you mean? Actually a friend had it and I expressed an interest in trying it so she loaned it to me with the option of purchasing it. After using it with the video I called and told her I was returning it and that I didn't want...

    alternative to lat pulldowns

    You can also do pullovers with a Barbell. Hands approximately shoulder width and elbows bent at a ninety degree angle. Start out in a position similar to a bench press then just keep your elbows bent and go back. Kind of hard to explain but a good exercise for the lats that can be done with...
