I did the Wedding Video for a long time, since that was the only one I had. Man, I was sore after doing chest flies with 3 lbs!! I then did a lot of her step tapes, but didn't get into weights until sometime in May when I got Power Hour. I learned a lot about rotations, etc., here (thanks...

I started with Cathe on April 1 of this year. Here are my body fat results from the Y so far :-) First figure is on Feb. 13, second is today (11-19) Weight: 131; 119 Pounds of fat: 39.1; 30.5 Lean pounds: 91.9; 88.5 Body fat percent: 29.9; 25.7 BMI: 24.6; 22 Based on my own measurements, I...

Hi all, I am considering a different rotation after Thanksgiving, but I am wondering if I need it. I really like the results I've been getting, but I keep hearing muscle confusion, variation, etc. Do you necessarily NEED to mix things up on principle? Here's what I do (keep in mind I have the...

I did my first Mindy tape today, CIA 2101 -with a step and hi/lo interval workouts and body pump party, though I only did the step and watched the hi/lo and pump party. I must say, this tape's pretty good! Folks were right about her cuing - you had to watch the tv to see what leg she's on, but...

Hi, Has anyone done this video by Kristin Kagen? Reviews at VF say favorable things, but I'm wondering: 1. How hard is the choreo? I love Rhythmic Step, but it did take me 2-3 tries to get it. I've never tried Christi stepping, even though I have two sitting here (shame on me!). 2. How is the...

I don't use CTX very much, but if you like the types of aerobics in the series (I'm not a kickbox fan) then you may want to take a look. CTX has terrific weight portions, but if you only want one or two of the cardios, you can buy the upper body and Leaner Legs separately. I keep my aerobics to...

Thanks for all the info. I've been journaling my food for three months now, and I think I have a good enough handle on food and portions that I am going to give that up. For the past two days, I've done BFL a little in that I've had cottage cheese, brown rice and some other stuff I avoided...

RE: Come on over Nikki.................. Well, I'm not in the original check-in, but can I join? My goal is to simply give up crap :-). I do pretty well, but every once in a while I have to sneak a bit of my daughter's cookie (to make sure it's okay). Rose

Are you holding your barbell correctly? For a time, I was putting the barbell on my actual shoulders and neck (ouch!) rather than the soft tissue of the back. It gave me neck aches. Maybe recheck how your barbell is positioned, too? Rose

My personal preference is for the PH dvd. In that you get a full-body endurance workout, a full-body strength workout and a triple threat (Body Max) that is a tough cardio with leg drills and upper body workout. I personally found the cardio in CTX not to my liking, but CTX also has Leaner Legs...

Hi all, I recently read and re-read BFL, and have some specific questions that I can't remembering reading about: 1. I didn't see any mention of calories, only portions and "good" foods. While it's good information, what kind of calorie ranges do these menus end up with? I have had great...

Hi! A friend's fiancee is a personal trainer, and he said he would come to my house and work with me on what I want to do, using what I had at home. Up to two hours, for only $25, plus a followup! Now I have to figure out what I really want. Those of you who have used trainers at the gym or...

Now, I love my sister. But something she said last night is still bugging me. She has always been the "naturally thin one" in our family, while I have to work at losing/maintaining. She doesn't even exercise - never has! Anyway, I told her I had lost 15 lbs. and was fitting into sizes I hadn't...

Hi, My real name is Rose, I'm 36, and I've been married for almost 10 years. We have one daughter, Amy, who was adopted from China. We are currently awaiting word on our second adoption, also from China. Should hear something by Christmas!! For the record, I always hated gym and it still...

There's nothing wrong with you! It is very frustrating when you don't think you are seeing results. But check out this website, which explains we really do change from the inside out: www.hussman.org/fitness/#inside It has taken me almost three months to lose 12 lbs., so don't give up after...

I play fast and loose with rotations, and can only do about half an hour before my daughter starts to get antsy, but in general ... Cardio 2-3 times a week: IMAX, Intense Moves, BM step Weights: Lower is 1-2 times a week (LL, Standing Legs). Upper is two times a week (BM upper, Cory's GHAS). I...

Could you please give us a little update on how the planning for the new videos is going? Has Cathe decided who will be in them? Any other details besides the preorder rundown? It's almost November, you know :-) Rose

I bought some pipe insulation at Lowe's and that works great, as well. Slightly cheaper, I think, at $7.50 a yard. Rose

Hi, I am not normally a packrat, but I'm having trouble getting rid of my "fat clothes." I've gone from a size 12/14 petite in jeans (my all-time high) to a 6/8 (same make and model, I'm 5-1)and about the same in regular pants. Maybe part of it is that I saved some of my "skinny" clothes and...

Hi! My current answer (these things can change) is: 1. Cory Everson Get Hard Arms and Shoulders 2. Intense Moves 3. Firm Standing Legs I wish Cory would make more videos like GHAS. Rose
