Kimbra, thank you for starting this thread. And thanks for the links posted too. I had a sudden outbreak of PF starting about a month ago and have had two steroid shots already. I'm wearing good non-custom orthotics and my PF has lessened but hasn't disappeared yet. My doc says the next step...

Hee hee - I watch it like a movie, though I do fast-forward through the repetitions (second set of barbell curls, second time through a step combination). I have paper and pen in hand to make notes on the equipment I need (4" or 6" step?) and I look at the strength exercises and note which...

I'm short-armed and lack flexibility in my shoulders, so this move is a work-in-progress for me.;) You know what I love about this part of Core Max? When Cathe starts levitating, watch Brenda and Rhonda in the background. Brenda is smiling and giggling during most of it, along the lines of...

I do what a lot of people have suggested - preview so I know what's tricky; rewind rewind rewind; use a 4" step; stop when I get too fussy and frustrated; and learn a segment or two of new choreography after I've done my cardio workout for the day. LowMax has a "step sections only" (no...

Any combination of Extreme, Ultimate, Ultra, Peak and Top would about cover it.;-)

I clap because it's fun and it helps me keep tempo.

I like Muscle Max from the Hardcore series - it's a total-body workout like MIS but Cathe varies the tempo of the lifting a lot (4 up/4 down, 2 up/2 down, singles, low ends). I posted in another thread that it combines the best of MIS and ME - MIS's organization and progression from large...

I voted "other". Sometimes I talk with my mouth full (I know, gross), I interrupt and I never close drawers, cabinets or doors all the way - that last one drives my husband nuts.

Mine are yellow but a Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard kind of yellow.

There are a handful of threads in the Video and DVD Questions Forum...

I previewed this evening - this is my total-body weights workout for tomorrow. Muscle Max strikes me as the best of Max Intensity Strength and Muscle Endurance, combining the organization and focus on one body part at a time, from large muscle groups to small (MIS) with the high rep count and...

I used a 6" step and my knees felt fine. The only moves I had to be careful with were the many pivots - some of them are done fast and I work out on carpet. There are LOTS of squats and movements where you keep your knee flexed and quads tight ("sculpt" 7s and 15s, low-end squats, lunge-kick...

I did Low Max yesterday and had a great workout. It's not at all hard on the knees, but you do have to be aware because there is a lot of pivoting on the floor and some of it is fast. The moves are familiar but cued quickly - I previewed because I'm a sloooow learner with choreography and I...

Low Max - because it's a new style for Cathe and I'm curious, plus I have a lot of cardio workouts planned for the upcoming week and my knees will thank me. I also want to try out segments of Stretch Max and Core Max. I'll get to everything else in time, but I'm REALLY excited about those...

Yer welcome! I need get a new avatar - my brows look like caterpillars in the photo I have up, and The Brow Guy gave me a great arch!

Richocets - I'm always afraid of twisting my knee. And I don't do side lunges because my knees, hips and ankles don't feel like they can work as a coordinated whole in that exercise - one of them always feels out of line.

RE: looking I'm 5'7+" and build muscle relatively easily, but the only way I can get cut is to watch my eating. Last year around this time when I had the most muscle definition I've ever had, I was eating 100% clean with 10-15% dietary fat. My workouts certainly played a role - I did six...

On top: sports bras with lots of support (36D chest here) that double as tops. I also have a racerback tank with a built-in bra that I wear. I love Title 9 and Activa for bras and buy mostly Champion and Moving Comfort. On bottom: various shorts from Carushka or Title 9, or longer...

Got my notice, delivery scheduled for Monday the 7th. I ordered on July 4th.
