I'm no expert...but I think I recall reading that 1 pound equals 3500 calories. Whether you do it by reducing your calorie intake or exercising more, my understanding is that you have to creat a 3500 calorie defecit to lose 1 pound. Experts out there, correct me if I'm wrong. In my...

I wish I had some new DVD's to preview!!! I am at work and there is NOTHING to do. I am doing some collating and surfing the net. You mention that you just bought CTX... I am thinking of buying this set also. Can you tell me what your current fitness level is and what you think of the...

I'm not positive, but I don't think so. From what I can tell...most of the DVD's have multiple workouts. You can buy it by itself on VHS of course.

I'm really sorry to be a pest. I've been asking questions for recommendations on which series to buy, and I have decided to get CTX. But I'm also considering being very bad and buying another series right away and rotating them every other week. I have gotten many votes for Intensity and a...

Congrats!!! I just got married on the 14th, and I can feel for how you want to look just perfect! Unfortunately, I am not the girl to be your expert advice as I am looking to get started myself. From what I hear, CTX would be a good choice because the workouts are total body (a body part each...

GOOD POINT!!! LOL.... That sounds like a plan!

I am having a very evil thought. I am considering buying both the CTX and Intensity series. I had decided to order one series, and now I can't decide, so I just thought to myself...maybe I should buy them both. If my husband (of 2 weeks!) knew what I was thinking, he'd cut up my bank card...

I wish I had more $ and could just buy all the videos right now...but I can't. I'm gearing up for a 7 week rotation that will lead into my honeymoon, so I want to really get the maximum results. I'm leaning toward CTX based on some suggestions yesterday, but just wanted to get one last...

Hi all, I am relatively new to Cathe. I am going on my honeymoon in 7 weeks and I really want to put together a kick butt rotation to help me take off some weight and tone up. It has been suggested to me that I should consider the CTX series. I already own the Timesaver, and I've seen...

Catwoman - Thanks SO much for the info. Can you tell me about the music on the CTX videos? I really like the videos that have really upbeat and recognizable music. Maybe all of her videos are like that??? Since they are 30 minute videos, would I get less benefit than I would using...

Hi all, I know that fitness is really individualized - but I was hoping that some of you seasoned Cathe-ites could help me put together a rotation that would help me lose 10-15 pounds and tighten up before my honeymoon. I am 5'2" and weigh 155 (way too much for my height), so I don't think I...

Hi all, While doing KP&C the other day, I did something that made my knee hurt. It was never a constant hurt. I haven't worked out since, and I'm feeling MAJOR guilt over it, but I don't want to irritate my knee. Right now, while walking my knee usually doesn't hurt at all. Every once in...

I am not sure what I did...but man oh man my knee hurts. I was just doing KPC on FitTV with Cathe...and during one of the jumps or something, I think I might have landed wrong. My left knee is really hurting - enough that I aborted the rest of the workout for tonight. It was major hard to use...

Isn't it fun helping someone else spend their money??? :) Thanks everyone for your input. Just to clarify - Are you suggesting the Intensity series instead of CTX? Thanks, Amy

OK...so I've got about $150 to spend on Cathe right now. Currently I only have the Timesaver DVD and several workouts that I have taped from FitTV (Step Blast, Rhythmic Step, Imax2, Cardio & Weights, Push/Pull, etc.) I know they cut lots out...but it is SOMETHING. I am intermediate-advanced...

I know eventually I want them all...but should I buy the Body Blast Series first or CTX? I am intermediate-Advanced and have several of Cathe's videos from FitTV and the Timesaver DVD, though I'm still pretty new to Cathe's stuff. CTX seems like a good deal for the money. How old are they...

I posted here a couple of days ago asking for advice on shoes. I have since purchased and received a pair of Ryka Rhythm shoes. I just did my first workout with them. They feel a little weird - they are higher on my ankle than my old shoes (which I'm sure is good). I'm just wondering - will...

Wow - what a small world! Marie 1120 lives in Greenfield - and I live right on the edge of greenfield! I went ahead and purchased some Ryka Rhythm shoes and got them for $50, so I thought that seemed like a great deal. They are rolling out the Rhythm II, so I guess I got the closeout. Hope...

I did Cardio & Weights today for my second time. I was still a little slow on some of the steps, but I made it through it and I think that next time I'll be good to go! Granted I am still doing the FitTV version and I know they cut bunches out...but it's a good starting point! Great fun...

Hi Pedmom, I am in Wisconsin too - Milwaukee to be exact. Nice to meet a fellow Wisconsite here on the boards. I had never heard of Freddy shoes until yesterday - I guess that shows my lack of an athletic background...but anyhow I do not know if they have a local distributor. You could try...
