    Slow & Heavy vs. Pure Strength

    Hi donnam, it's me again! I just wanted to assure you that if you want something much slower and heavier, then you made the right choice with S&H. I bet that you're going to love it. Take care.

    Slow and Heavy Reviews

    LAST EDITED ON Dec-16-01 AT 08:50PM (Est)[p]Hi donnam, I just recently completed a four week S&H rotation, so I can tell you of my experience. I am a heavy weight junkie, so the S&H series was a must have for me. I have gained muscle mass, and it's quite obvious, the only problem being that my...

    Firm or Cathe?

    Just to confuse you further :D , my suggestion would be the Slow and Heavy Series, because it's such a departure from The Firm, therefore allowing you some serious "muscle confusion". Slow and Heavy is a strength only routine though, so if your looking for cardio, you won't find it with this...

    Depression and exercise

    Kim, I'm sorry to hear that you're down. This can be an especially tough time of year...cold, shorter days, holidays, etc.. I suffer from clinical depression too. I went through much of the same thing that you are now going through. My doctor prescribed antidepressants, and after the second...

    Geez Lissa, what a great idea! Why is it that I have such a hard time "thinking out of the box"?

    Combining Upper Body in PS ...(and S&H?)

    I am winding up a four week S&H rotation. Initially, I wanted to do this series on three consecutive days and then do a total body weight workout during the same week. I was considering combining some of the upper body work in S&H to achieve my rotation goal. This is what I experienced, and...

    S&HvsPS

    I'm winding up a four week S&H rotation. This is a great series! It differs from PS in that the reps are performed at a considerably slower pace, and the muscle groups are sequenced in a push/pull method of training. In S&H you work chest/back/core, legs/shoulders, and triceps/biceps/abs. PS is...

    Anyone have Karen V's New Workouts?

    I just got the dvd version a couple of days ago. As I have only previewed, and have not actually done the workout, you'll have to take that into consideration when reading my comments. This is an awesome dvd for the way that it has been broken down into chapters. If you want to see the...

    Just curious......

    RE: since you asked I've thought of about 100 different workouts that I'd like to see Cathe tackle. Hey Cathe, there's no chance that you could tape a new workout every week, is there?:-rollen Did you realize that Cathe has a place for you to post your suggestions? If you go to the home page...

    What's up with "The Firm"? Has e-mail address changed?

    RE: You and me both ! There's a thread on Anna's forum titled "Attention all Firmies" (or something like that). The poster called the Firm's toll free number and was told by the operator that the forum was down until the end of Jan. due to lack of stock. Makes absolutely no sense to me, but...

    Cross-trainer Express series

    Another vote for CTX. The choreography is more complex than IMAX (as a reference point), but not super complex. I would highly recommend this series on dvd. I was able to conquer the choreo quickly because I had the series in a dvd format and did not have to constantly rw/ff a tape. Plus, you...

    S&H series vs. Pure strength series

    S&H rocks! It's funny, because I can match Cathe, and often exceed the weight she's using (during S&H), but when it comes to her muscular endurance workouts, I have to drop my weight well below what she's using. I'm looking forward to completing this S&H rotation to see if I can come closer to...

    Kathy Smith....

    I always thought that Aerobox was one of Kathy's better videos, if you like her kickboxing video, you'll like this one (actually, I think it's better). Just my .02.

    Dumbell weight plates?

    RE: To increase the dumbell weight. . . LAST EDITED ON Nov-21-01 AT 00:18AM (Est)[p]Marnie, I have a question about the Plate Mates. Do you need a pair for each dumbbell or can you use one Plate Mate per dumbbell? I would love to get a pair, but if I have to buy two pairs, that's kind of...
