Hello Rose2boys, I have hexagonal cast iron dumbbells and I absolutely love them. They are cheapest and most versatile. If you work out on carpets like I do, they don't roll around when you put them down. However, the rubber coated ones are probably better for your floor if you have wooden or...

Hello Nancy, How about Rhythmic Step DVD that has IMAX and MIC on it? The DVD cost $50. $50 for 3 very different workouts, now that is a bargain. Rhythmic Step has complex choreography but once you learn it, it's very dancy and a lot of fun. The other two are interval training and one long...

Hello, What is a 'hiatal hernia' and what are the symptoms? I have never heard of this. From which web site did you read about this information? TIA Yen

Hello Laura, I think swimming is considered a cardio workout more than strength, but it will build your upper body if you do it hard enough. But generally, it increases the heart rate and therefore cardio. I have combined weight training with swimming in the past. I would do one day swim...

Hello, I know what you mean about jumping straight into the KM blast after a warm up. I don't do that either, instead I created a mish mosh of KM like this (I don't have a multiple disc DVD player so I work with one DVD at a time: KM warm up KM combo 1 KM combo 2 KM blasts KM combo 3...

Laura, I'd say start with white then see for yourself how the room looks before you start adding colour. In my experience, it's easier to paint over white paint with colour paint than to paint over colour paint with white. You only need one coat of the colour paint whereas you might need...

Here is a link to the flat that I had refurbished. http://picasaweb.google.com/kimyenchu.uk/25CatfordBroadway The bathroom has no natural light and I painted it the lightest shade of pink/fushia and to me it still looks a bit dark. I painted the open plan living room and kitchen...

Hello Laura, I have experience with decorating rooms when I re-furbished my flat and this is what I would advise. The flooring sounds really good for the work out room. It's great that you are tackling this yourself. I just hope that it's not too complicated and you have all the right...

Hello, It's been a long time since Cathe has done a step only workout of steady state cardio, I think the last one was Step Blast. If you are looking for that type of workout then try Classics with Power Hour, Step Fit and Step Works and also Rhythmic Step DVD, which include intensity...

Zora, Thanks for the link on Bioskincare. I have a couple of questions about the cream before I decide if I should buy it. Can you use this in place of a moisturiser, in other words, can you use it morning and night and all over the face or just a dab on the spot, scar etc? Yen

Hello, I suffered from acne as a teenager. I went to the doctor who gave me some Retin-A cream. That was better than any over-the-counter products you can buy. I suggest you see your doctor to see if it is still available. I find products from the chemist tend to have too much alchohol that...

Hello Stacey, What you could do is maybe ask if someone who has this workout is willing to record it on to VHS for you as a favour. I can do this for a friend on mine, she gives me the video cassette and I record the work out for her. You can also record the KPC premixes to fill up the rest...

Hello, Doesn't PP have two upper body premixes? One that you repeat the exercises 3x and one you repeat 2x? Which one are you doing? I think the workout looks OK. GS Legs have only one exercise that uses heavy barbell while the rest uses lighter dumbbells. LIC also uses light dumbbells...

>I'd rather see the RT set up in a way that there are enough >spots to accommodate the demand, i.e. multiple RTs, bigger >trip in a bigger venue. Gayle, Don't you think more people at the road trip would mean over crowding? I don't know the size of the gym, but from the picture it...

Everyone, Was Tracey Staehle at the road trip? I thought it was her, I saw the photos from people and the face seemed so familiar. At first I thought it must be someone who looks like her. Now I know it was her. Was she there as the surprise guest speaker or just another Cathe fans or...

Sometimes I work out late at night after I've had my evening meal and it's usually a weights session (could also be cardio). Afterwards, if I am not that hungry I don't eat - I don't like to eat late at night if I can help it. I just go straight to bed and then eat the next morning or later...

nkuangel, I have this DVD and it's a good traditional weight training for endurance (PH and BM) and some strength building (MIS). You can go heavier with MIS than with PH or BM so there is scope for heavier weight training. There are no fancy equipment, just a step and traditional weights. I...

Wouldn't it simpler just to exclude the people who have been on road trips for the past 2-3 years? If the people who have been on previous road trips got through again next year then send them a message to say that their place will be given to someone who has not attended. You could also put...

StaceyL, Cardio Fusion is longer than IMAX2. It is a premix of some of the cardio from the last series. It is pretty intense but not impossible. IMAX2 on it's own will not compare to this but if you want interval training then this is a good one. I like to do this with the cardio only from...

Hello LauraMax, I think Carolyn answered the question very well. I personally find that when I do HIIT regularly my fitness level really go up and I can do steady state cardio for longer and at a higher intensity. I personally don't wear a heart rate or calorie monitor so I don't know which...
