Anyone know where I can find a list of all the low-impact Cathe pure cardio (ie non-circuit) workouts?

I am not interested in 6-back abs. Instead, I prefer the long & lean pilates look. So I was wondering if Cathe's ab work is meant to get a 6-pack or get long and lean? ANd specifically, anyone know what Core Max is specifically targeted to do?

RE: My wrists I do think it is some type of joint-stress issue....as I also have little knee issues as well. As while the recent wrist issue has only crept up in the past month, now that I think back, the wrist issue when doing yoga was always off and on for years. I saw Citysports has a couple...

RE: How important is it to do Cathe step wrkouts for ca... Thanks! I agree that not all weight workouts are the same, and some are much more effective than others. That is why I am switching to Cathe for my weight workouts. I am SO excited as so many of you Firm switchers are saying that REAL...

I am just coming to Cathe after many years of the Firm. I have started Cathe with Stretch Max and Muscle Max, and when I have the $$ I will get Core Max. I also liked the look of Low Max, but since my money is tight rght now, I wanted to ask how important it is to do Cathe's step workouts for...

RE: My wrists Another thing is that whenever doing planks, I have to go "on my knuckles"...and there are a lot of moves in yoga that require you to have your wrists bent on the floow at 90 degrees, holding your body up....again, I have been doing knuckles for a couple of years now. My wrists...

This is such great info! I had NO idea! BUT, this explains a LOT...as I have been working out for several years, and more intensely and consistently in the past 8 months. And I tell you, I will do a straight sculpting workout, and my bodies and muscles honestly feel like they want more than just...

Any advice on what I can put around my wrists to help....I think it's my age! (35) My wrists just began "hurting" when I lift beyond 5 lbs in one hand. Well, maybe "strain" is a better word. Anyway, I don't want this to prevent me from going heavier, so any ideas on what I can get to put on my...

THanks for the rotation and suggestion. And to answer the question about not wanting to spread out workouts over a few days: I thought that you had to work ALL muscle groups 2-3x week. I see from the rotation that you are only working biceps/back 1x week, triceps/chest 1x week, and legs 1x...

I tried posting this on the rotation forum, but it did not pop up, so I'm bringing it here. I am a long-time FIRMer...would say I am at the inter/adv fitness level. Not looking to lose any weight, but wanting to kick it up a notch and really drop more on body fat and sculpt lean muscle. I...

I am a long-time FIRMer...would say I am at the inter/adv fitness level. Not looking to lose any weight, but wanting to kick it up a notch and really drop more on body fat and sculpt lean muscle. I am not so much into complicated, high impact stepping, so I am happy to get my cardio in other...

THanks for the suggestions....I really wish I had the money to hire someone to give me a good diet, workout program etc., as I have 10 more pounds of fat to lose and am at the stage where I am ready to leave the Firm and go to the next level of getting a "Cathe-like" body! But I know that in...

Anyone got any ideas of which will get you leaner and more toned and sculpted? Lighter weights with higher reps or heavier weights with lower reps?

I've been getting some great info on another thread that I wanted to start a separete post about a new question I have about some of that info I got. My issue is about leaving the Firm for Cathe. One of the issues I am having is that I cannot go heavy on pure-upper sculpt videos or pure lower...

The only way I can go heavy on weights is if it alternates upper and lower body. It seems Cathe's workouts are either all upper or all lower. When I do an all upper or all lower, I actually have to use lighter weights because my muscles get too exhausted....even if I am moving from bicep to...

Again, not trying to criticize anything, just trying to understand where I am at and where I should be going next. I feel that the Firm gives lots of options to mix it up, as they have so many different and varying workout DVDs....also, you can ramp it up howveer you like to add intensity...

Thanks so much everyone for all the info! And while Cathe.com is GREAT in that it's free shipping, I never knew Collage took returns even after you opened the package! In terms of foregoing cardio days for Sculpt days....again, the Firm is always going on about how you need straight cardio...

When I say "Hollywood" body, I mean like the natural, toned, lean, body, that of course, not all of them have, but many do (Diane Lane, Sheryl Crow being a couple of examples)....maybe "fitness model" body is a better way to describe it. I eat about 75-95% clean, and go at about 1400-1600...

"I dont think AWT/Circuit type of workouts give you enough resistance training to truly get the results you are looking for" Interesting...beacuse that is what The Firm seems to advertize so much...that there wonderful AWT will "burn the fat 3x faster than cardio or weight lifting alone,"...

Again I am newly thinking of getting into Cathe from the Firm. I was wondering if most of the users of Cathe are people looking to lose weight or people who have completed their weight loss and now are working on sculpting lean and hard bodies? I would imagine by the intensity that the Cath...
