    Circuit workouts, do you wear lifting gloves?

    I don't. I wouldn't want to wear gloves during the cardio portions of a circuit workout. And pausing to take them on and off would probably bug me too much. I do get very sweaty hands. What I do is to keep a towel right by the weights I'll be using. Then when cued to pick up weight, I...

    Cathe in retail stores?

    In Target, they sell the Step w/ Cathe's Low Impact Step + Total Body Sculpting and Total Body Stretching DVDs. They don't sell her individual titles. Some sporting goods store carry the High Step w/ four risers which comes with either Muscle Endurance VHS or High Step Circuit DVD. As far...

    Sinus Infections

    I've had 9 sinus infections in the past 1 1/2 years! From what you're describing, it sounds like sinusitis to me. I strongly suggest you go to the doctor as soon as possible. You may need antibiotics. At the very least you should get some prescription decongestants and a nasal inhaler (do...

    Received the new Turbo Jams yesterday!

    I have almost all the cardio workouts from the first set and Lower Body Jam and Ab Jam. I skipped Cardio Party Remix as a)it was pretty short at 30 minutes, and b) had some recycled footage in it. I personally love the both of Cardio Parties from the first set. The 20 minute workout is great...

    Received the new Turbo Jams yesterday!

    I was shocked and excited to find the Beachbody package waiting by my front door when I got home from work. I've done part of 3T: Totally Tubular Turbo (added some parts on to CTX Upper Body) and I did Cardio Party 3 this morning. I posted a review of 3T over at VF. Here's the link...

    Premixes on Circuit Max/Cardio Kicks DVD?

    This DVD doesn't have any premixes. However, it does have chapter points for each workout so if you are good at programming your DVD player, you could create a premix that way.

    Which workouts next?

    I would recommend either the Cardio Classics or Cardio Hits DVD. Cardio Classics is 3 step workouts and is a bit easier to learn. However, the workouts are some of Cathe's older ones and if you don't like looking at older hairstyles and workout clothes (i.e. the thong over the stretch shorts)...

    need low impact workout

    Here are some suggestions. You might be able to do Low Max if you modify some of the choreography and the blasts. See if you can take out any turns or pivots in the step sections. For the blasts, I would see if you could do them being in one position vs. going side to side. For example...

    Skin care line?

    >You can buy a few of the products and ask for samples of the >others. I have tried some and they were OK. Have you tried >Eucerin Redness Relief Face Cream? That might not be the >exact name but something like that. This is a great idea. You can usually get a least 2-3 uses out of each...

    Skin care line?

    Nancy, Yup, those are the products I was thinking of too! I would say that I prefer the BHA lotion over the AHA gel. With either of them, make sure that you start VERY slowly with them. Like twice a week, and then build up to more times per week as your skin can tolerate. I personally...

    Skin care line?

    I'm a huge fan of Paula's Choice products. I use most of the skin care and some of the makeup. I give it the line a huge thumbs up! My favorite products are the BHA lotion, the blemish fighting solution, the new Super Recovery Anti Oxidant concentrate and the Hydrating Treatment Cream. You...

    What are you giving up for Lent? (if anything)

    I'm not Catholic and I'm choosing to give up potatoes for Lent. Since I am a person who is positively addicted to french fries, this is going to be a challenge. I also toyed with the idea of giving up ice cream. But then I came to my senses. While I may not give it up completely, I may do...

    Nice to see you, Cathe. A couple of questions

    Hi Cathe, I noticed you were posting and wanted to take the opportunity to see how you are doing and ask a couple of questions. First, I hope that injury is continuing to heal nicely. Second, I was wondering if you would be willing to drop a few morsels of information regarding the new...

    Is DVD #2 of CTX available as standalone product?

    If you buy it through cathe.com, you'll need to purchase both discs. They don't sell the discs individually. Your best bet is eBay or an exercise forum that allows sales and/or trades (like Firm Yaya's or VideoFitness).

    ONLY 30 MINUTES IN THE MORNING- NEED MODIFY SUGGESTIONS

    I think that 30 minutes for weight work can be effective. And I think it's important to keep in mind that something is better than nothing. As your son gets older, you'll be able to add more time. Until then, do what you can and keep moving! Here are some of my thoughts! I think both of...

    Semi-new to the forums, looking for recommendation

    Based on your height, you could probably do with a 55cm stability ball. That's technically the correct size for your height. Although some people prefer to go either up or down a size based on personal preference. I'm 5'7" tall and use a 65 cm one. As far as which stability balls are good...
