Thanks everyone for the input! One of the moves that does scare me quite a bit are the levitation holds. I have tried them and I am pretty much a sinking ship right off the bat. But hey...something to aspire to and work hard for!

I think I may just have to look into these cardio coaches. I MUST be missing out because every other day it seems like someone new is converted!!! Oh boy....my poor poor credit card. May you RIP after this week is over!

Hands down...or would that be hands in guard??...kickboxing!!!!}(

Although I do not have this particular workout, I would recommend the powerstrike video #3. I have read that this workout is less intense than the first 2...but nothing matches the form and instruction that you would get from Ilaria and Patricia. Even though I have been kickboxing for a...

I will agree with the previous 2 posters and say Ryka. I had held off on buying these for a long time because I was weary about buying shoes on the internet that I didn't have the opportunity to try on first. After some enabling from some informative people on this forum, I took the plunge...

Thanks Laura for your input on this! I really wasn't sure if I should purchase the DVD or not because I wondered if there was enough variety from her other ab workouts. I think I may have to go ahead and take the plunge and order yet ANOTHER DVD!!! I feel like I have been on a...

I am just wondering how often some of you use your Coremax DVD when it seems as if Cathe has so many great ab routines tacked onto the end of many of her workouts? Do you find this DVD to be a must have for your abs or do you find that the other ab w/o's suffice? Thanks for your input!! :D

Don't you dare apologize for a long answer!!! That was a perfect description that you gave of Cardio Intervals and of the previously discussed video from Ultrafit. I really do appreciate a first-hand account of these workouts as reading a brief description makes it hard to get a true "feel"...

Thanks Jen for the quick response! I appreciate the breakdown that you gave, it gives a nice perspective on the workout that I wouldn't have otherwise gathered from the website. I have another quick question for you. How would you rate the intensity of Tony Horton's Cardio Intervals...

I have noticed in a couple of your posts that you seem to gravitate towards lower body workouts and kickboxing/functional fitness forms of cardio. Both categories of workouts that I enjoy as well. I also remember there was a video that you had mentioned, Ultrafit Fat Burning, I believe that...

I second Bernadette's recommendation of sparkpeople! I really enjoy this site and not just for calorie counting, but for a host of other resources (like recipes, fitness information...).

Just and FYI...check them out!!! I think that this workout (and kickbox of course!!) are the two I am looking forward to the most!

I have a small tattoo of a rose on my hip. I got it because; 1. That's my name!!! 2. A Rose itself is full of symbolism and meaning in many different ways...too many to name here. So, it may seem like a simple tattoo, but for me it holds lots of meaning and sentiment! :)

I just wanted to say congratulations on your fitness journey!! It sounds like you have come so far already!! Get ready to be so super spoiled by your Cathe workouts!! After Cathe, the disparity between workouts that you find interesting and workouts that you just can't stomach anymore will...

I am definetely going to check out the video that you suggested here on amazon. It sounds like something that I would really enjoy!! I also appreciate your opinion on Tracey's video. Thank you for the insight!!

Everyone here is completely amazing, friendly and informative!! Once you get over that "fear" and actually start posting...you wonder why you were ever worried to begin with!!
