Hello Cathe, I recently started working out with weights 2 days using MM, MIS, ME and other total body programs, plus 2 days of cardio. I find this suits my lifestyle perfectly. I purchased 4DS recently, but find that the format of doing cardio followed by weights did not suit me, I prefer to...

Hello Vrinda, Which web site did you find that had the best explaination for undulation and linear periodization? The ones I looked at were all about training programs rather than actual explainations. Yen

Hello, I was thinking of doing 4DS upper body only and Butts & Gutts for lower body in a rotation, not every week but maybe every other week or 2 weeks, because I think the lower body portion of 4DS is too short. Has anyone ever done this and did you think it was too much? Or did you do...

Hello Cathe & SNM, I have a small space in my room in which to do my exercises and this has always been an issue for me. With the last few series, I noticed that more equipment is used and more space with which to do the workout. I find that the more equipment is used, the more space is...

Clare, I have been doing exactly that - starting with the weaker left arm for single exercises (I also sometimes start on the left leg first for forward lunges or leg press) because I thought it would do the trick. I have not done is regularly though so I cannot confirm that it works - my...

Guess what? I pre-ordered, that's right I just did it!! This is sooo not good. You know what it was? I was thinking that I have done all the workouts and know them so well, maybe I need fresh ones to spice up my workouts. And when converted to British pounds, they were cheaper than I expected...

Hello Jul, I have not pre-ordered this series and I don't think I will because it does mean tying myself to a 3.5 months continuous training. I tend to do what I feel like than rather follow a rotation, as long as I get in the right balance of cardios and weights. I do find it difficult...

Hello Maggie, I like both and use them for different reasons. I like Pyramids because the split is either upper or lower body, so I could do this and add in MM or ME to work my body twice a week. I could heavy up in MM to get results. I like to work total body twice a week this way and find...

Hello Beavs, I agree with you, it's sooooo hard to resist temptation. I know that I would use STS if I buy it, but I seem to favour total body weights workouts because sometimes I can get in two training session a week, which is more than I can when I do splits. And if I use the heaviest...

Hello all, I am in two minds about whether or not I should purchase STS. I find that lately, I prefer to do total body workouts that allows me to weight train once or twice a week. I have been using MM and MIS mostly and will incorporate ME and PH for variety. I find that with MM & MIS I can...

Hello, Does anyone ever do an IMAX workout followed by legs? I was thinking if it is possble to do IMAX3 (or IMAX2) followed by 4DS split premix for lower body. Yen

Hello Cathe, I am interested in the STS series for the various types of weight training on offer. However, I rarely follow a structured program and tend to do things according to what I think my body requires and my lifestyle allows. For example, I will do a few weeks of muscle endurance type...

Clarissa, I noticed that you work upper body 3-4 (including the total) times a week and lower body 2 times. You don't need to put a rest day in between the heavy weights like they always say? Do you use the Pyramids DVD or follow your own routine? Which Cathe weights DVDs would you...

Kathryn, > The triceps are a bigger muscle group, but I suspect that because of the different leverage, most people use lighter weights for triceps than for biceps. That is news to me. I always thought my biceps and shoulders were smaller muscle groups compare to biceps because I always...

Jennifer, Just read your earlier post about less cardio. I KNOW EXACTLY what you mean. I go through the same thing. If I do less cardio then I feel like I am losing fitness, especially the running. When I can run, I run quite well and I think I would like to run better. But if I run I...

Hello Clarissa, You do look great. What system of weight training do you prefer? More heavy, medium or light weights? Do you use Cathe's S&H, Gym Style, Pyramids and 4DS? I can't decide which I like better, therefore, I can't stick to a routine long enough to see results. I go from...

Hello, Where did you ladies buy the inclined risers from? Where are they sold and at the cheapest price? Thanks Yen

Hello, How about Muscle Endurance and Bottcamp DVD from Intensity series? BC has no step, it's cardio intervals and light weights. You can definitely do this one. ME is like MM, except it's higher rep. Also, Cathe has older kickbox videos Cardio Kicks and Circuit Max that, again, uses no...

Edie, What are the reasons for your interest in Callenetics? I don't want to advise you to buy it unless you know why you want to use it. Other posters on here have given their comments and, as they say, it is very slow, lots of little pulses workout. You will need a ballet bar or something...
