Thanks Jillybean, I will try and focus on these things and see it they help. Nancy

Hi all- My question is this... in the past I have always varied my rotation and never really stuck to a strict rotation. Now, I am trying to do just that (at least with my strength tapes, cardio I still mix up a bit), but by the fifth week or so I find myself getting a little bored with the...

True... my mistake. You would have to switch the days around a little. Nancy

Hi The "experts" are not wrong, however they also say that more muscle buns more fat. So, in light of that... I am a firm believer in weight training. Also, if your rotation has consisted of a lot of cardio for a while you may want to try a rotation based more on strength for a while and...

Looks like a tough rotation and a little heavy on the cardio. Is there a reason you do not do MIS in its entirety? If not, then personally I think if you have been doing that rotation for a while you need to spice things up with more weights less cardio. With the tapes you mention having...

Thanks Donna... that sounds like a good suggestion. Do you skip the warm up in PLB since you are already warmed up? Nancy

Ok... today I tried Cathe's recommended workout of PLB plus the first half of IMAX2 and all I can say is KILLER! My legs were like noodles when I started IMAX2 and I seriously wondered if it was a good idea. But, then I thought I'd just go through the warm up and decide after that. Well...

Way to go Jayne! It sure feels nice, huh? Good for you and thanks everyone for all your encouragement and support! Enjoy the day, Nancy

Has anyone ever done a Triatholon? I am thinking about trying to do one. I have no idea when one might be here in Minnesota or what exactly is involved besides running, biking and swimming. What are the lengths or order of each of these activities, what is involved in changing activities...

Ok... gotta brag for a moment and no one but you guys would truly understand. About 6 months ago I got Circuit Max and tried it. About 3/4 of the way through I totally wore out. Panting, red faced, gasping for air... truly humbled. I thought NO WAY can I do this... ever. So, I tried to swap...

Jillybean... great post. I did not realize so many folks were from this area. I actually just moved from 65th & Humboldt in Richfield last year. If there is ever anyone who wants to try and have a get-to-gether... count me in. Dress warm and enjoy the sunshine! Pump on, Nancy

Hi Kristi- I do at least 1 hour long yoga or pilates video each week and I have noticed tremendous results with increase flexibility. My favorites are Bryan Kest 1 & 2 (don't have the 3rd), Kathy Smith New Yoga and New Yoga Challenge, and Karen Voight Yoga Sculpt. For Pilates I really only...

Hey Aqua-Jock and jillybean- You guys are from Minnesota too? That is so cool! I live in Bloomington and work in Mpls for General Mills. Any get togethers coming up? Would love to meet some fellow Cathe lovers. Nancy

OK... Guess I am going to have to get that, along with Ab Hits, and CTX Upper Body... now if she could only come up with 1 more that I don't have I could get the multi order deal! Thanks for your input. Nancy

Ok... this has been on my mind since it came out. I have MIS, PS, S&H, ME, and LL plus FIRM Standing Legs and Upper Body. Is PH really going to work muscles that these videos do not cover or in a totally different way? Do I need REALLY this video? Thanks, Nancy

Lately I have been obsessed over eating and exercising. I feel like eating all the time, hungry or not, and I am always exercising. I have always worked out in the morning for an hour every day for about the last 15+ years. I am not overweight or super thin. I have no aspirations to be that...

Hi Joni O- Yes it is the same tape, however the quality of the tape is truely lacking. I would have to guess that the tape was dubbed because mine does not play clear. So, with that in mind, don't just but this product just for the tape. Nancy

Hi Julie- If I recall correctly, they do go to a 2 count lift as you get heavier with most of the pyramids. Enjoy... I sure did! Nancy

Wow! What great workouts. Muscle Endurance: I pretty much kept pace with Cathe on the weights through out this tape and thought it was challenging but doable. And then... for the next 2 days my quads and hamstrings expressed their fondness of this workout as well. I can't remember the last...

IMAX I have been doing IMAX regularly for 4 months or so (usually once a week) and I always get a light side ache at the end of interval 10. It is not so bad I have to stop but it always lets me know the interval is just about over. I can do the tape first thing (5:30 am) in the morning or...
