Thanks Leanne, I must admit I'm feeling changes from the S&H rotation, so maybe really pushing the weight is going to be enough for each body part each week. I think I'll mix in some of the GS series in the fourth week of this rotation and maybe my fav, Muscle Max, to give my brain a break...

Hi Cathe, I apologize if this has already been addressed, but I'm doing a rotation that uses the S&H series (which I love by the way!). Question: Is doing each body part just once a week enough to really build and define muscles? Also, I see that the body parts combined in S&H are different...

I'm so thankful I found you two years ago, and look forward to many more with you, the crew, and everyone who writes into the blogs and shares their stories, questions and accomplishments. You inspire me every single day, you make me laugh, and you make me say bad words at you during Butts and...

I am so jazzed about this next project I can hardly sit still. I don't know where you come up with one creative project after another Cathe, but boy do we appreciate it!!! Anyone who says their workouts get boring has never met you. Bring it on!!! Beth

RE: I Have Decided Thank you all for the insight. I admit I got on the scale after two weeks with the S&H series out of curiousity and was stunned to see that I, too, had gained "weight". I had no idea my muscles would hord water as they recovered. Good to know. But I agree with you... if I can...

THANK YOU!! It was driving me crazy trying to figure out what that stood for. Come to think of it, I have it this morning courtesy of yesterday's GS Legs!!!

Really? If I want to build a lot of extra lean muscles mass (which is exactly my goal), doing high volumes of cardio on top of my weight workouts will keep the body from building optimal desired muscle gains? I always thought the cardio was necessary to burn the fat so you can see the...

Hi Cathe! How important are off days in a rotation if working out with you is really the only exercise I get all day? I'm currently doing the December '06 rotation and after I work out in the morning, I sit at a computer all day, cook dinner for my husband, watch a little TV or study a little...

Actually I just bought my first pair of Ryka's two days ago and used them the last two mornings. Though they will take some breaking in, they do offer much better lateral support than my previous cross training shoe. I only had the Ryka CX available to me, but I see there are others online...

It was my first earthquake since moving to the East Bay from Minnesota 15 months ago. I was terrified sitting in my house as it literally swayed for 15 seconds. That's just not right!!! But thankfully no one was hurt and no damage... all my Cathe DVDs remained soundly on the shelf. What a...

Thanks everyone! ... and you were right! Going heavy all I could hear was my muscles saying "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Love that feeling!!!!

I really like that there are heavy weight series in the new 4DS, but I have to say it threw me to be lifting to a count that did not go with the beat of the music. I found myself turning my head to see where Cathe was so I knew if I was going too fast/too slow, but that isn't ideal for...

I did GS Legs for the first time today and let's just say I dread tomorrow!! I thought Butts and Guts was hard until I tried this. Absolutely fantastic in my opinion. I don't know what DOMS are, but if means anything like "Cathe killed me with that last workout"... GS Legs will give you DOMS...

Stick with it Colleen! I did only Low Intensity segment of the 4-day split this morning for the first time and I absolutely cannot do the hip-hop L step without smiling. What a blast of fun that whole cardio portion is once you get the hang of it!!! Cathe has outdone herself in the land of...

With all due respect to Cathe who gets me up and moving six mornings a week, I must admit this is my least favorite of my 22 Cathe DVDs. I really like the second workout (all cardio), but when it comes to the first and third workout, I agree with Kathryn that the transitions/editing makes me...

Well, aren't you the little sneak?! Kidding of course - and good to know. I have one week left on my current rotation before I begin October's that is heavy on the S&H series. Can't wait to start, and I really appreciate the importance you pkace on form and safety. From the looks of S&H, my arms...

Hi Cathe, I just received your Slow & Heavy series and I watched them once to see what was coming and to note your weight selections. While preparing for the double arm row, your instructions indicated to pull your elbows up along side the body, then "retract your scapula" and then do the...

Northern California is great too Cathe!! Those of us in San Francisco would be THRILLED to have you take a road trip out our way. Needless to say I'll fly/drive/crawl to Eureka if I have to if that's where you chose to go in California, but we'd love to have you in beautiful SF!!!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to compile this list. Since I work out rather early every day it's great to have my workouts all defined for me - no thinking involved! And I have gotten much better results, too. Thanks again, and of course, thank you, Cathe!!!

I'll thrilled to report that I did KPC for the first time today, INCLUDING the inverted Vs on the ball!!! FIRST TIME!!! Whoo hoo! Now I know that if I do the ab section after the warm up on Pyramid UP I just might do ok! (frankly I think part of my success was that I was just so excited that...
