I actually find I can do air jacks much better with the bands then without! Before, I barely was able to get my legs out in the air...but for some reason, with the band, I can do it! I'm loving this band!

Uggghhh! Dummy me! I knew there was an "extreme" on the TTM, but I have just been putting in the CF and hitting play! It's on tap for tonight and I just looked that the bonus is a tabata and core....I'm doing it! Thanks for the tip!...lol ETA: Just finished the CF extreme and was not...

Thanks for the link Jann! Since I have been unable to work on upper body due to tennis elbow, I have been concentrating on cardio and lower body for 4 weeks straight. I have been doing Cathe's HiiT, Intensity, Athletic Training, Cardio Supersets and now CrossFire and To The Max. I have...

I'm going to say TTM was more difficult then CF. I found with TTM I had to take longer breaks between the rounds to catch my breath and lower my heart rate. I was able to go through CF and keep up with the gang, though trust me, it's still a killer workout!

nook!! I love my nook!!! Especially my new glow nook! I too love the smell of a book, but I also did not like lugging several books around or when they piled up in my house and then I had to take them to a used book store. My sister has a nook also and we use the "lend me" option and it's...

Just got mine too! Thanks to all helped Cathe! You guys are efficient!

I'm dying here....LOL

Wow! Sounds exactly the same. If I can control the pain to a minimum I can work with it. I really appreciate this post and will research A.R.T. also.

Thanks! Hi Jean, Thanks for your post! I'm hoping PT will help also. It can be expensive even with copays...lol. I'll see what happens after PT and then move on from there. This has been very painful for the last year and a half. Even picking up a cup of coffee can sometimes be painful...

Me too! Glad I found this thread! I have been suffering since Jan of last year! My GP gave me 3 steroid shots 6 months apart. The last one never took effect. He sent me to an ortho surgeon and my appt was yesterday. I was ready for surgery and to move on! NO! Ortho surgeon put me in a...

I'm dying for just a teaser!!!...lol

I totally agree mini-natty! When she starts doing any burpees or plank exercises, I just do jumping jax or plyos in it's place! Very easy to substitute :)

Hi! I've actually been dissapointed the last few years in workout clothes. It seems they are made more for show then working out! A few years ago, Nike had some great tops (Cathe used a few in her workouts) and some good pants, but you go on their site now and it's all this one shoulder...

The only workout I really regretted buying was Chalene Xtreme, and only because I don't like her counts compared to Cathe. But I sent it back for a full refund, so no major regrets. In the 90's I bought Billy Blanks dvds and never stuck with them. Through them out years ago! I have quite...

Straddle taps! Yes...those are the worse and after years of trying to get that move down...I just can't...lol. I've learned to do something different every time she incorporates them. I do like the Genie hops though :) I tend to do regular jumping jax when she does plie jacks too...lol.

I have to mostly agree with what you said. The Firm got me started with working out in the late 90's, early 2000's and I even loved the Fannly Lifter and Transfirmer series. I even go on their website every now and then to check out what is coming out. To me, it's very "gimicky". They are...

Turbo Fire I'm not sure what you are looking for in a "challenge", but I still stay the best and most aerobic kickboxing workout out there is Turbo Fire by Chalene Johnson. Even her earlier Turbo Jam is an excellent workout. I even like her style of moves that I've incorporated it into all of...

Thanks Cathe! I will try the furniture polish...never thought of that. I live in a condo and have no choice but to do it on carpet. I even have berber carpet and had slight issues with it, but I workout on an area rug that has very low pile. Again, thanks for the tip!!! Laura

Sorry to hear about the knee problem. I too felt it in the knees the other day, but that's because I'm doing it on carpet and the s&g's don't really slide very well on it so I find I'm putting more pressure on the glide to get it sliding. I had to give up on the jumping jax and just do normal...

Get it! Well, from reading this thread I don't see much "mixed reviews"....all but one say get it! I'm in the camp with "get it"!!! LowMax is one of my all time favorite videos of Cathe's. I wish she would do a LowMax 2! The first 3 intervals are my favorite and then the last one too, so I...
