Gotcha, thanks for the reminder. Thought I had missed something and wanted to see if I had to panic or not! Clare :)

Both Step Fit, Step Heat and Power Max have simpler choreography than the most recent step workouts. Also, Step Works. The last two will ramp up the intensity also, and therefore give you a challenge to shoot for. Clare

Yes, MM is Muscle max, SS is Supersets which is on the same DVD as PP which is Push Pull. Start purchasing! Clare

Michele: you are more than welcome anytime. Bring big fluffy pillows too! Clare :7 :7

When I get really cold it is usually because I have not eaten enough that day. As soon as I do, the cold dissipates. The body is a powerful communicator. Clare

Consider both the pyramids, PUB and PLB, also Leaner Legs from the CTX series which is a fab lower body workout famed for being tough, quick and dirty. Also, think of Supersets and Push/Pull, on the same DVD, which work the entire body and include many premixes that allow you to do more if you...

RE: Muscles more defined but I lost strength..what give... This is exactly what has happened, but it is also completely normal and I have both noticed it myself and read of others who have also experienced the phenomenon. Nothing to worry about. But, consider, you focussed on a goal and you...

Actually, sounds like it's time to put on "It's a Wonderful Life" and eat toast in front of the idiot box! Clare

Where did you find this description? What does it relate to? Maybe I'm being dense but I don't remember it. CLare

I think so too. Surgery. But you don't have to do it. Mine is the result of pregnancies and I will never have surgery. Can't afford it for one thing, and if I had the money, I'd rather put it towards buying a house anyway! To me, loose abdominal skin as result of pregnancies is a badge of...

But if you have them, start with Step heat and Step Fit first, because they are easier than the all other Cathe cardios and make good "come back" workouts. These are the two that I use. I usually start back with 1/2 weeks of power walking, with or without the treadmill, with max incline...

Also try the MOJO bars, also from the makers of Cliff bars. They have no trans fats and are made of wholesome ingredients, with 10 g's protein in each bar, which I reckon is enough as a snack. Clare

Agreed. Gym Styles are the PS 2, with a difference. The floor work is far superior to that on PS legs and the band work introduces variety. Cathe doesn't produce workouts that are exactly the same. Would that be marketable? For example, those who wanted a KPC 2 got Kickmax. They are not...

First of all, there are no "shoulds" or "supposed to's" about building a fitness program that works for you. Your cardio is fine. Include kickbox, the cardios from the CTX series as much as you like. The CTX cardios are short but intense. A great workout is to put two together, back to...

Generally speaking, all manner of irregularities could signal the start of it: lighter periods, longer distances between periods, menstrual migraines, yes, hot flashes, spotting at odd times, beginning bleeding earlier or later than usual even if taking hormonal birth control, all sorts. Clare

My husband got my 12 year old hooked on these last week. They have already cracked the formula for doing them and are now moving on to newer logic-defeating pastures!!! I am in awe because numbers just are not my thing. Like Kathryn, I am totally word orientated. Keep going Nancy. It's...

Sounds dangerous to me. Can't you just step outside and lunge your way round the car park, down the road, around your garden, along the halls of your appartment block? Clare

Fave total body: Muscle Max or Supersets, simply because the music in the latter is so motivating and I can sing along. But I do split routines mostly. Leaner Legs and Gym Style legs for lower and only Gym Styles and SLow & Heavy for upper body because I have long skinny arms that are hard...

It doesn't really matter which day of the week you take as your rest day. You can take more than one you know, it just depends on your energy levels and how sore you might be following a particularly tough workout. Do what works for you, your body and your schedule. It is advisable to vary...

RE: Fresh Squeezed OJ vs. Tropicana What is better is the one that you will actually ingest! Stand squeezing oranges? No thanks! I drink the Tropicana. But then, I eat an orange a day too. They are fab in Winter, at their juiciest. Do what fits into your lifestyle/budget/time...
