Agree wholeheartedly with Erica I am not an expert -- just someone who reads a lot and wants to make the most efficient use of the time I spend working out. With that said, I really recommend allowing a full 48 hours of rest between all the Slow & Heavy videos. Yes, that means it will take...

Thanks again Yes, Cathe, I'd noticed that a lot more muscles were recruited. HA! Twenty-four hours after finishing S&H: Chest and Back and I can tell you where every one of those muscles is located. I thought of you while doing Rhythmic Step today, because I've always told you how my "puppy"...

I forgot how much fun an hour of Cathe stepping can be! I previewed RS this morning and I'm itching to jump into it tomorrow. Thanks, Cathe, for pulling together great choreography, good tunes and that awesome Rhythmic Step challenge at the end. I was really looking forward to an all new...

Don't do more sets You really don't need to do that many sets for triceps to get results. (GOSH, PS + CTX triceps would = about 14 sets. Ouch!) Instead of adding more and more work for these muscles (and possibly causing elbow/wrist problems), you should try doing your triceps work first in...

NOW I want a DVD player! Haven't really been tempted until I read that Rhythmic Step will have a special bonus challenge on the DVD! Waaah! I bet Cathe puts all the sections together for one last fling. I'm crying here. The worst part is that I actually HAVE a DVD player. But it's in the...

My prayers are answered! No Crazy 8s? Thank you, God.

Butterflies starting here Um. I'm starting to get the idea that these are going to be hard. I just warned my thighs and glutes about the FOCUS thing. They're worried too.

Love it! Uh-oh. Forty-pounder, huh? Guess I'll need to buy some new dumbbells when these arrive. My heaviest is 25. So let's review. So far, I'm hellbent on buying: new workout clothes, the Jetsons SuperStep and new dumbbells. Which will wear out first: my VISA or my check book? HA...

Hi Stacy: I think you would do best to stay away from Janis Saffel. I have her CIA 9907 workout. Janis is good for the real kickboxing lovers, but it's kickboxing with a lot of choreography. It takes a long time to get comfortable with it and during that time, you won't be getting much of a...

I love you, Cathe Friedrich! The new videos sound great. I've been dying for a new all step tape from you, so Rhythmic Step is probably the one I'm most excited :D about. Judging by the title and the description, I'm going to love this one. Somebody take my temperature, I feel a choreography...

Congratulations, Trevor! I am so thrilled for you! It's true what they say about childbirth -- it hurts worse than plie squats with a 200 pound barbell, but as soon as it's over, all you remember are the magical parts. I am really happy for your new, bigger family and your beautiful little...

Got so much done! I just loved having 4 days in a row off work. I got my kids' closets organized and cleaned-out, my house cleaned and even -- gasp -- got started getting caught up on my photo albums. I'm all the way up to 1997 now! HA! My workouts? Oh yeah. Did OK with those too. It's...

Trevor You got me misty-eyed with the talk of putting together the crib. I can't believe how quickly my own babies are growing up on me. You really have to treasure every moment, don't you? So is your baby boy going to be a November baby? We November children are pretty special, you know...

Trying to get back in the check-in habit I finally laid all the cooties to rest and I'm back on a regular workout schedule. The only change is that I'm going to try to cut back on my workouts. For a year, I've usually worked out 6 days per week and now I want to try to do only 5. I'm hoping...

No slumps allowed, Erin! I plan to be working out with you in about 4 more weeks! I need you to stay motivated and strong to keep me going too -- do we have a deal?

Hi Trevor! Yes, I'm still here. I haven't been posting much, due to a crazy work schedule and a killer sinus infection & cough that wiped me out for 3 weeks. I kept up a half-hearted workout schedule during that time. I'm dying to hear about your trail run though. I was out in California on...

You're awesome! Good for you, Nikki. Power Circuit is one tough workout, but it's one of my favorites of her new tapes. It moves so fast, you can't get bored -- but you sure can get winded! I like your attitude. Hang in there. Push yourself a little, but not too much. Every week, try to...

Hi Nikki Congratulations on deciding to lose weight. It sounds as if you're determined to be successful -- and I think you will be. I spent a few years in infertility limbo and I remember how helpless and out of control of my body I felt. Getting healthy and in shape helped me combat those...
