I literally own all non-step Cathe videos and the only cardio I do routinely (3x/wk) is: X10 (X65 premix) Strong & Sweaty: Cardio Slam X-Train: Tabatacize Perfect 30 HIIT (both together) X-Train Low Impact HIIT and Ripped with HIIT Low Impact HIIT (together) and, occasionally, on low-energy...

Hi, there. What is the difficulty level on these DVDs? I found the Fit Tower DVDs pretty beginner-like and nothing one couldn't get (and get more thoroughly) from other Cathe videos, so I'm hesitant to invest in a bunch of new equipment if it's not going to be tough enough. In case it helps...

Thank you for this info, Bubachick! I appreciate it!

Wondering if the Cathe Community can help me here. I didn't order Step Boss because I can't do step due to knee issues. I am wondering whether PHA3 is easily doable without the step. Is it easily modified or would one lose the effectiveness of the exercises without the step?

Great; thank you! I can pre-order without worry now!

To clarify, I can do crunches painlessly. I am simply reporting that health care professionals have said we shouldn't. It isn't good for your back, even if you aren't experiencing symptoms. The more your 'curl' your back, the more pressure you put on the discs. In the same way that you...

Since it isn't included in the FAQ list, can you tell us whether the cardio workouts will require a step or not?

Recently, two healthcare professionals (a certified personal trainer and a physiotherapist) have said that it is accepted wisdom that sit-ups are a no-no as are leg-in-the-air ab moves. It seems that the harm (to your back, especially) outweighs the benefits. But I'm not really clear on what...

I agree: we need more advanced series. Ice, Fit|Split, Ripped w Hiit, and Lite each have only one or two DVDs that I include in my rotations from time to time. I have bought all of Cathe's non-step workouts (so had to skip the most recent series, Step Boss, sadly) and nothing beats X-Train for...

I think that in all honesty, X-Train's Tabatacize is the only cardio workout that is perfect for me. I like some others (namely: Cardio Core Circuit, Strong and Sweaty's Cardio Slam, X10, X-Train's All Out Low Impact Cardio, Low Impact Series' Afterburn and Cardio Supersets). I will also do...

So excited! I am hoping that the stand-alone Pyramid Pump DVD includes a pre-mix option to do just the calorie crushes (plus warm up) as just a cardio routine!!!

I am hoping the new LITE series will have a sunny, outdoor setting. I love seeing water or trees or landscapes. In the past decade, most videos have had gloomy, monochromatic, urban settings (or just a white background). I feel psychologically refreshed seeing a pleasant outdoor setting. Any...

I am giving up on Brooks (which used to be Moving Comfort). I always loved the Fiona and liked the Jubralee but neither is supportive enough since Brooks bought the company. After twenty years, I need a new bra company! I am 32D or 32DD and need maximum support. I'm in my late thirties and...

In general, more straight cardio videos. Because I alternate strength and cardio every day, I would love more variety of non-metabolic (or at least light-weight metabolic) aerobics. Anything (except step) would be fine with me--just more! I'm hoping the new ICE videos are like this but even...

Can an administrator confirm this? Will the step be used in an aerobic capacity at all?

Will the new series incorporate much/any step? If it is incorporated, will it be avoidable via pre-mixes (without shortening the workout too much)? If I can get an answer to this, I'll go ahead and pre-order! P.S. on videos that include any step, an "all but step" pre-mix would be...

Thank you SO much, Cathe! You are a huge part of my life and I am serious--I have given up on other instructors after working out for twenty years and am the fittest I've ever been in my life after doing your workouts exclusively for the past five or so years. What would we all do without...

One more question: will Boot Camp Circuit and Low Impact Sweat be equipment-free or will they require hand weights?

Is ICE going to be baseline intermediate with a low-impact modifier only . . . or will it have an advanced modifier as well? I'm trying to figure out if this new series offers an advanced challenge or is really only meant for intermediates. Help!

Also, in response to the first post: yes, I'd love an all-stability ball DVD! Cathe always does such neat stuff--I'm sure she could manage a whole hour of it. I also find that stability ball routines are hard to come by. I am trying to find them for my elderly mother who really needs to work...
