I LOVE the Turbo Barre workout but would echo the above comments. I have to plan ahead to make sure I start working out early enough if I want to do this one and so I rarely get the time to do it. Maybe a new ballet-style DVD could do away with the upper body weights.

Suggestions from a Cathe fanatic . . . More tabata and hiit--both high and low impact. My (aerobic) faves: X-train, x10, Crossfire, Afterburn. NO STEP or at least make it a premix option to do EVERYTHING BUT STEP. This is overlooked on some DVDS and can be very frustrating. I'd love an...

I LOVE Cathe and other than yoga only do her workouts (every day). Consequently, I hate to say anything negative . . . but I was really disappointed in Ripped With Hiit (found it too easy, awkward, and not very fun--still haven't even worked up the enthusiasm to try some of the DVDs in the...

Yes, please! I would LOVE more low impact tabata and more low impact HIIT generally speaking. Please, Cathe!?

OMG, Yes! Yes, what a great idea! As the contributer suggested, who doesn't wake up with a kink in their neck some mornings? I admit my neck/shoulder is always a killer for me from sleeping, computer monitor-staring, and non-ergonomic mouse use. Also, for the majority of us who spend much of...

Hi everyone! I'm trying to get some help from better-educated exercisers about the optimal way to incorporate weights/strength training. My questions are these (but any additional advice about things I haven't asked about would also be greatly appreciated!): 1. how frequently should I do...

Hi Cathe. Firstly, let me say thank you. I've worked out since I was sixteen but since I found you a few years ago, I do your DVDs almost exclusively and I'm about a thousand times more fit than I was after years and years of exercising. Now in my mid-thirties, I feel unbelievably strong and...

Will Cathe do a HC DVD? I had never heard of this either. Horizontal Conditioning sounds great! Shouldn't we try to persuade Cathe to do a DVD, then?

We tend to always work the same muscles, even if in different ways. I am always shocked when I do ballet work and don't have the hip muscles to do all of those endless plies even though I can do normal strength training without a problem. So . . . Why not a 'neglected muscles' DVD that...

Hi! Regarding weights: I know not to do heavy weights on the same muscle group two days in a row but other than that are there basic guidelines I should follow? For instance, how frequently should one do heavy weights? I want to build strength and endurance and don't want to plateau, so I...

More Afterburn PLEASE! Yes! My favourite of ALL of Cathe's videos (or all workout videos for that matter) is Afterburn. I realize that Cardio Supersets is similar and I love it too. But my hands down favourite is Afterburn. More please. Without a doubt, my favourite workouts are the high...

I'm a big Cathe fan but am really only now getting serious about weights. I have the XTRAIN DVDs and some singles (e.g. High Reps, Lower Body Blast, etc.) but am now wondering about her other series. So I have two questions: 1. How different are heavy weights/strength videos? Overall, does...

Can somebody tell me whether the step is necessary in any of the new workouts (other than the cycle one--Pedal Power--or the devoted step on--Party Rockin Step)? (I.e. are the remaining five step-free or minimal in their use of step?) If any of the remaining five are step-intensive, could you...

I see; thanks to you both for letting me know. Makes sense!

Thank you Thanks, SNM Videos, for the clarification. I appreciate you outlining where and when the step is used for aerobics and whether I can avoid it (i.e. by modifying or using a non-step pre-mix). It sounds like the step is something that I can avoid without missing too much of the...

Everybody uses this term but I can't figure out what it means. Help!

How much is step used? Thanks for the clarification. In response to a specific question, I was told that there would not be any step aerobics period (I can't find the thread but the staff member said that a step was not used for aerobics). I understand that you're saying that there is no...

how do you do the test? How does one go about doing the test(s)? Or will the XTrain program include detailed instructions?

additional question Um, before I ordered XTrain I asked if there would be any step aerobics and was told there would NOT be. So now does it turn out there are, in fact, step aerobic portions?

Thanks for the suggestion. No, that breakdown on the website is pretty general. I want an equipment-specific search option. And in general, a thorough 'advanced' search where you can specify any range of variables would be great (like Collage Video).
