Strength training with moderate cardio gave me the best results of my life. I was leanest ever when I was doing a three day split routine with heavy enough weights for twelve to sixteen reps, ending with ab work on all three days. My weight sessions took me an hour to seventy minutes. I would...

My reasons for reducing intensity are not because high intensity made me feel drained or more hungry. This fits my lifestyle. When I got relatively busier than I used to be, I could not sustain the mental focus and time that intense workouts demanded. At age 43, I don't know if I can or even...

When I did intense strength training splits, I never felt the need for cardio on the same day as lower body as my heart felt well exercised too. But I remember a trainer who was pretty successful with women who would ask clients to finish an intense leg workout with twenty minutes on the spin...

......what is the difference between lower body strength training interspersed with cardio vs doing endurance style lower body strength without cardio? By "difference" I mean when (what goals or situations) is it better to do one rather than the other?

Laura, You look great to me. I don't see five pounds to lose much less fifteen in your pics. You are too sensible for anyone to suspect of an eating disorder. Eating the wrong foods or over eating is as much a disorder in my book as under eating, so I am with you to the extent that choosing...

Barre workouts derive from the exercises at a barre that ballet dance classes use including like you said, plies.

Looks like high reps is in the lead!

I will be glad to post my opinion. I just ordered Elle yoga and Michelle Carmichael's Soul Fuel along with my pre order for Atletica and Powerstrike 6 at totalfitnessdvds. I was tempted to get the new Will Power & Grace Mile High too, but decided I was being excessive and should rein in.

I like too many yoga instructors to list. Shiva Rea, Erich Schiffman, Rodney Yee and Sarah Kline are some of them. I don't do barre. For cardio I like kickboxing, cardio coach and itrain. For strength, I do a lot of Kelly and some Cathe total body but I only do strength when I am in the...

I am all out petrified. I don't plan to get it!

I am devoted to moderation now. I do yoga, circuits, yoga,shorter weight training sessions, yoga, kickboxing, yoga, machine cardio. :) I work out four to six times per week depending on how hectic work is. I do the types of workouts I enjoy and I don't care about any type of rotation or how many...

Cathe has done something barre-ish but unique in the Bonus of Kick Max. I love that segment for being like barre but with a kicking emphasis. It is so hard to maintain good form. I tend to lean over too much and Cathe always seems to know when to remind me not to! This new workout looks...

SNM posted that you can substitute paper plates...I think.

I am looking forward to High Reps. It seems like it will be designed to keep pace with great music. I want to experience high-reps from Cathe. I dont have Power Hour so I havent seen this type of workout from her yet. I am confident Cathe's take will be different from other approaches to...

Thank you so much. I am going to take the plunge with this. Your opinion really helped. I like to end every workout with yoga and two short sessions, one of which is stretchy fit the bill.

:) will be great to hear impressions once you get to it.

She is the lead instructor on the Elle yoga DVD with Brooklyn Decker. Totalfitnessdvds where I like to buy my workouts carries that. The yoga anywhere seems to be only available at amazon.

Thanks Chris. I still live in the Windows world for my computing. So I am going to rely on that option (directly connecting laptop to TV) for my future Cathe downloads to get chapter control.

I am happy to read High Reps does not even need a step.

For me, the great thing about Cardio Coach is that they are as easy or hard as you make them. For instance you can get through all of Vol 7 if you choose to do it on an eliptical trainer or walk on an incline, if you dont want to take on impact for 8minute challenges. Depending on my current...
