I was a stalker and got #3 lol! I'm psyched!! Carol

FWIW, the segment from LIC is a bonus segment and it IS broken down and she teaches it. The BM2 segment is also a bonus section, but there is no breakdown and the coreography is relatively (for Cathe) complex. I did CF before doing BM2 and was able to muddle through that section, but it went...

I'm a homeschooler, but I've never tried that particular program. I've been extremely happy with the Explode the Code series and they have books for preschoolers, too (IIRC they're called Get Ready, Get Set, and Go for the Code). For a straight reading program, I use Reading Made Easy. Just...

I have them all and Imax 2 is definitely my favorite!! It's a great choice for the more coreography-challenged (ME!). Imax 3 is a GREAT, intense workout, harder than Imax 2, but so is the coreography. It took me quite awhile to pick up on it all. I have the original Imax but only do it like...

IMO, it's a must have. I also do yoga and love it, but this is athletic stretching and more STRETCHING than flexibility work in yoga. When I do yoga, for example, I find my upper body not very stretched out. I like that Stretch Max makes sure the entire body gets a thorough stretch...

2 of the 3 workouts on Hardcore Extreme are HIIT -- Hi/lo intervals and Interval blast plus legs. The other one is intervals, but also circuit. Imax Extreme on The Terminator is as well. The other 2 on that one (The Gaunlet and The Viper) have HIIT in them, but they are also circuit workouts...

I make almond milk all the time for my kids :) If you want to have nice almond milk without the hassle of soaking the nuts, get some good organic, raw almond butter from your health food store, take 2T. and 8oz of water and blend (I just use a blender). I sweeten it for the kids with Agave...

I think genetics plays a big role, but so do healthy habits :) Just look at Cathe before and after baby: http://www.cathe.com/2002_After_Baby2.htm I have 3 children, breastfed them all, and I have more ab definition now than I ever did before. It's definitely doable if you stick to your...

I'm going to respecfully disagree and say Slow & Heavy. It's good old fashioned 3 sets of 8 reps for maximum strength building. Gym Styles are usually in the 12 rep range and often only 2 sets. Great for muscle shaping, but I saw more strength gains with S&H myself personally. You'll be...

I preordered both Tracey and CIA, lol. I ordered Tracey's step workout and cardio workout and the kickbox interval CIA with Kimberly Spreen and the step interval one (but based on reviews of the instructor's other videos, not sure if I'll be able to do the coreography...). I can't wait to try...

Jenn -- I love cross-training, so I'll either make substitutions or use a generic rotation (if you're familiar with Cathe's workouts, you can make any rotation she posts generic) and use any workout from that category, which Tracey or Amy could easily fill. For example, a day that's listed as...

I agree. The coreography is on the order of complexity of Imax 3, but it builds. Also, she does not really have a "recovery" phase, but when you repeat the step sequence, you get your recovery in. Then she teaches the new section to the sequence and then you have a blast. Her blasts are...

Hi Deb, I have (and LOVE) all the Powerstrike workouts :) Collage now carries the latest one (#4 in the series) so you can order it from there and see a preview. To get the other ones, you'll have to email Ilaria directly (go to the Powerstrike website and hit the contact button, she's good...

Why wouldn't you(the >public) want to do that? > >Catherine It is a great idea, but I don't want the government telling me what I have to do with my (or my children's) body/ies. It should totally be up to the parents, NOT the government. Too much Big Brother, IMO. Carol

I love the Pyramids!! I have all her weight work, and these workouts are great :) It's a different challenge than GS and S&H b/c the intention is to switch weight through the workout (PUB is done with all dumbells for easy switching). It has great premixes, too (pyreamid up or down) so you...

I homeschool, but I have an enforced "quiet time" from 2-4PM that's my favorite time to workout. On the weekends, sometimes late morning to get it out of the way for other stuff I have to do. Sometimes, when I work out with DH, I work out in the evenings, after dinner in the 8PM range...

RE: Gripe about I hope it works for you, but when I first switched from regulary antiperspirant to natural deodorant, I had a hard time find one that was effective. I finally settled on the The Crystal and have been set ever since. No ingreds except natural salts. HTH! Carol

They're both great!! I love S&H because it's a predictable traditional weight lifting routine (you do 3 sets of 8 reps of just about all exercises). I like Gym Styles b/c she includes pulsing, band work, etc that mixes things up. Also, in S&H, it's a push/pull sequencing (you do chest, then...

If you have (and like) S&H and the Gym Styles, you probably won't care for PS. I have them all and only did the PS workouts once. They're much more intermediate, nevermind being dated. Just my two cents, but her later stuff if much better and you're not missing much ;-) Carol

Yeah, I used the purple band for the first time yesterday and Yeeouch! I'm feeling it in my "heiny" this morning, I tell ya!! Carol
