    Does anyone know if after you download to your hard drive you can transfer to other mediums? (technically challenged here) Thanks!

    Cortisol/Adrenal Fatigue

    Incindently, I also went to see my doctor and he literally spent 5 minutes with me (and I swear typed my symptoms into his computer) and proclaimed I had General Anxiety Disorder, gave me a prescription for Xanax and sent me on my way. The naturopath had me fill out three pages of personal...

    Cortisol/Adrenal Fatigue

    I too have been struggling with insomnia, depression, anxiety and lack of energy. I have recently seen a naturapath doctor who suggested adrenal fatigue and possibly early perimenapause (eek - only 37!) anyway excercise is one of my passions and I have dreading workouts lately. It is...

    What is your fall-back workout?

    I love Step Moves as a fall back workout - always picks me up and is not draining at all! Before Step Moves I would choose LIS from 4DS or the step from SPJ - short but fun. If I felt like longer I would tack on 1 or 2 combos from Step Blast on the same DVD or even the Step Challenge if I was...

    Spotting/Bleeding during pregnancy

    My sister spotted heavily around 6 weeks with her first pregnancy. Turns out she had a clot that hadn't "sealed" yet. The spotting was quite heavy - the doctor told her that it would stop once the embryo sac grew higher in the uterus to seal off the leaky spot. Everything was fine - but quite...

    what is your favorite Cathe warmup segment?

    I actually like the 4DS HIS warm-up because its short (I don't like long warm-ups) and I feel energized by the end. I also love the lower back stretch at the end - gets the tension out before the workout.

    Legs and Glutes vs Butts and Guts

    Hi Beth, I think that they are different and I have both. B&G really does target your butt more than any other workout Cathe does. I often alternate these two in order to focus on Legs and Butt alternately. It (B&G) is also high rep but the excercises target your rear more than L&G - I...

    Happy Valentine's Day

    Happy Valentines to you Cathe - and everyone! I too have a burn -off -the -chocolates -workout planned. Something low impact after yesterday's Hiit. I am looking forward to Step Moves plus LoMax "all 7 blasts" premix for a lower body blitz. I need to get the blood moving to ease my DOMS...

    My order of the new workouts, from the most liked to the least

    1) - a tie for Hiits and Step Moves - I feel amazing after both of these workouts. Hiit gives me the adrenline rush and Step Moves is relaxing and fun. Both are great stress relievers. 2) another tie for Athletic Step and Cardio Core Circuit (I have a love/hate feeling with CCC) 3)...

    Butts and Guts...feedback please

    I too love/hate B&G. This is the workout that never fails to give me DOMS! It is painful to get through but I feel so accomplished afterwards! The one-legged squats in particular are my least favourite - but very effective. I don't know what it is about this workout - but it is somehow the...

    What's the one workout DVD you hate to do but you do it anyway?

    I love topics like these...lately anything legs I dread doing...so probably B&G - but like someone else said - I do love the results. Does anyone love leg workouts? Also the GS bicep work is killer. I always moan and groan through that one. I always feel amazing when its done though!

    Getting Ready for the Weekend Movie Recommendation Thread

    I have good one... if you like thrillers - "The Perfect Getaway" -recently came out on DVD a couple of weeks ago about a couple on their honeymoon in Hawaii who discover that another couple are suspected of murdering newlyweds. Of course they meet up with two other couples and then....It has a...

    I'm such a spaz. . . I fell off my step

    I think my feet got jumbled up doing the step cross across the step with the leg swing off the side (forget what that move is called). AND I slipped off the side in the first combo when I couldn't make my feet do the wide side lunges. Oh well - grace improves with practice and I am grateful...

    Surprised by Hiit Pyramid

    I am just admiring your workout combo - I was dreading a leg day and this looks like a great combo of excercises and calorie burning. I haven't tried 40/20 yet so a little scared... Did you do the cardio or the B&G first? Thanks!

    Cardio Core Circuit - MERCY!! UNCLE!!!

    I think what makes this one hard for me is that unlike the Hiits there is not as much warning about how long the bursts are going to last - and it seems that there is less rest as well. I did it yesterday - and I was so relieved when the first break came and then Cathe says the "reward" is core...

    What One Food Makes You Wanna Open a Can of Whoop-Ass?

    Potato chips and sour cream dip...I have surrendered to those during my pregnancies (with penalties of course!) This is one deadly combo I do not even try because I don't trust myself with only a few. Aged cheddar Cheese is also a big temptation and sometimes Jelly Bellies candies (at night!)...

    Surprised by Hiit Pyramid

    Oh I love the Hiits! Just when I feel like I don't want to excercise anymore (motivation) I managed to pop this one in and they really rev up the energy. They give you a great endorphine rush. They are hard - but so fast that the workout is over before you know it and you feel great!

    Step Moves... I'm a dancer!

    I just "got" this video the second time through - I feel so graceful and awesome when doing this one. Even though it's on the lower intensity side I am still sweating and working. And the moves are so cool I pretend someone is watching me and impressed with my coordination...Ha! I will use it...

    Hiit Pyramid - Adrenaline Rush!

    I tried this one after a STS Meso2 workout (upper body) and LOVED it! I was working and breathing and didn't mind at all because everything moved so quickly and seemed like it was over so fast (in a good way). I felt so pumped and energized- which is amazing on a Friday after a long work week...
