    KPC / Legs & Glutes DVD

    I'm just about to put in another (and hopefully my final) GIANT order for a bunch of Cathe's DVDs that I don't have in my collection yet. I'm wondering whether Kick, Punch & Crunch / Legs & Glutes is a necessity. I'm not a huge fan of kickboxing (only have tried Kick Max a couple of times and it...

    These sounds interesting. Where can I find and purchase them? I just opened up iTunes and tried to do a search on them and didn't find anything.

    HELP--I feel lunges more in the non-working leg!

    Faith - no kickbacks? Those are my favorite tricep exercise! I tend to sub them in place of tricep dips sometimes because they're easier on my shoulders and I always feel them. Totally with you guys on the static lunges though. The ball of my back foot and calf muscle tend to cramp up before too...

    Question to all the ex-firmers

    Mine does as well. I've never paid for the club, but somehow I've got access, although I don't think it allows me to post there. I did receive the club discount for the most recent group of videos though.

    Meez?

    Ok, nevermind. Looks like it's working for new posts, it just didn't go back and change older posts. Sorry for the extra post!

    Meez?

    I've noticed that several of the posters here have "Meez" at the bottom of their posts. I went to the website and made one, but am having a hard time getting it to show up here. I've copied and pasted the IMG tag in my signature, with and without the img before and after, and it hasn't worked...

    Laser tx for acne Part2

    Congratulations! I've battled with acne since I was a teenager, and in January I decided to give ProActiv Solution a try. I was skeptical, since I had a friend who tried it years ago and she said it didn't work for her, but it has completely blown away my expectations. I am in love with the...

    Question about working the lower body

    Ok, yeah I think you're right that the blasts are supposed to count as lower body. I haven't done Boot Camp for a while but I'll give that one another go. Drill Max scares me! :P

    Question about working the lower body

    I agree that there is plenty of heavy lower body in her weights-only workouts, I'm talking about the circuit-style workouts that include weights and cardio. There might be a set of lunges and/or squats, but that's about it in the course of 60-70 minutes. Anyone else know what I'm talking about...

    Question about working the lower body

    Ok, Cathe-ites, I've got a question for you regarding her workouts. I've been doing Firm since BSS1, and up until recently all of their strength and C+S videos have been fairly heavy on lower body work using heavy weights. Now that I've switched over to primarily Cathe's videos, I've noticed...

    BlockBuster vs. Netflix

    Have any of you Blockbuster fans had any problems with their selection, as far as older or foreign films? I know back before Netflix existed and I had to go to Blockbuster that their selection in the stores consisted of any major movie from the last 20 or so years, and that was about it. I would...

    Using a Variety of Workout Instructors

    I think I'm going to need to be careful about ONLY doing videos I'm getting from Netflix. I've gotten into the habit of trying out videos, buying them, and then not doing them because I'm too busy looking for the next video. If I rent something I'll be too tempted to buy it. I've got like 70+...

    Disneyland trip

    Umm...see Disneyland! :P Seriously though, I'm kind of a serious Disney fan. My biggest advice to you as far as seeing the parks and having fun and not letting them sap your will to live, would be two things: arrive before the park opens, if at all possible, and take a 3-4 hour break in the...

    Using a Variety of Workout Instructors

    Netflix doesn't seem to carry any Tracey Staehle, so I haven't been able to give her a shot yet. Kimberly Spreen looks like a kickboxing-heavy instructor, and kickboxing isn't really for me (too much quick twisting and I end up hurting my knees). I'll have to give Amy Bento another go. I tried...

    Has Anyone Tried Criss-Cross Cardio?

    I don't know how you ladies can handle the kickboxing. Every time I attempt Kick Max I end up turning it off halfway through because I feel like it's going to fast for me to have good form, and it ends up hurting my knees with all the quick pivot actions. For me, kickboxing is just too fast and...

    Using a Variety of Workout Instructors

    Thanks, both of you. Conni, do you have any other instructors you can recommend to me? I recently discovered previewing videos on Netflix, which is how I ended up with both Christi Taylor and Jari Love. I've got one of Rob Glick's on its way here now, and I'm pretty excited about that one. I...

    Using a Variety of Workout Instructors

    I've got a variety of styles of DVDs from a variety of instructors (Cathe, The Firm, Christi Taylor, and now Jari Love) and I typically just select whichever video I feel like doing that day. I workout six days a week and usually try to alternate weight training with cardio. I've never really...

    the firm

    Really? I actually thought the Transfirmer series was probably their best. The cardio portions of Allie's workout in that series were pretty lame (way too simple), but the other than that I thought the videos were great. Pam's Supercharged Sculpting is the single most efficient sculpt video I've...

    the firm

    Do you love that they recently released a 20 minute (!) "sculpting" video that used ANOTHER version of the Sculpting Stick? I guess the three segments on it are all equal length instead of the twigs on the first version. Who on earth would buy this piece of equipment for use in ONE video, and a...

    the firm

    Glad to hear that there might yet be hope for these videos. Have you already purchased and tried out this new system with the cardio weights? If so, what did you think?
