The majority of athletic shoes are made in China. Most of us are aware of China's poor record concerning human rights issues. I did purchase a pair of shoes (Brooks, I think) last year that were made in America...almost shocking, I know. They turned out to be an ill fit for my feet. Alas, I am...

nonmeia, I'm not Cathe, and I'm certainly no expert, but I don't think that you have to be an advanced exerciser to benefit from the S&H series. I certainly think that the concentration required for this series would appeal more to the seasoned weight lifter, but if you're game, I say go for...

I usually use 5lb. weights. If I attempt to go heavier my form usually suffers, so I'm content with a lighter weight and perfect form. I think that it's possible to build up to a heavier weight, but the jump from 5lbs. to 8lbs. is way too much. This thread has me thinking about buying Weight...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-22-02 AT 08:33PM (Est)[p]Momof6, If you have a dvd player, definitely get the CTX series in the dvd format...it's awesome and so versatile!

I agree...GET CTX, GET a dvd player, GET all of Cathe's dvds, GET more truffles...OOOPS...SCRATCH the last one!!! LOL

I'm choreo impaired, so if I can get it, anyone can! It took me a good 5-6 times to get it, but learning it became my mission and I did at least parts of it daily for a week or so until mission accomplished. I still mess up occasionally, but I don't sweat the little stuff. When you start to get...

Mars, I think that I would ease up on all the lower body work. From my experience, I have made more significant gains by allowing my muscles more rest. With running, spinning, skating, and LOTS of strength work, you're short changing your leg muscles of much deserved and much needed rest. Train...

RE: Pyramid Approach! Wow! I've been wishing for an Upper/Lower body split from Cathe's next batch of videos. This is wonderful news. Thanks Cathe! Care to entice us with more info. on the other workouts?!?!?!?

Hi bebop. I think that you will not be disappointed with the floorwork in PS Legs. The floorwork segment is fairly long and thorough, and makes a fine stand alone (or lie alone...hehehe) workout. MIC is another video that can easily be done in separate segments (floor/step) without guilt. You...

Most home models of Nordic Track, Proform, Reebok, Image, Healthrider and Weslo treadmills are manufactured by Icon Fitness. Icon Fitness is headquartered in Utah and I believe they are the largest maunfacturer of treadmills in the world. The quality of their treadmills varies greatly and some...

I've got to hand it to those of you who do this workout first thing in the morning. I don't think that I could drag myself out of bed if I knew that I had to immediately face Leaner Legs. I do love (love?!?!) this workout, as it definitely leaves me with a sense of accomplishment when it's over.

RE: Ha! "you have got to be sh--ing me ?!" LOL!!! I'm glad that I'm not the only one that's saying this while working out with Cathe.

Remember also that MIS and PH are more of endurance type work outs. I really struggle with endurance strength work. I am much more of a heavy weight "animal". I've heard people refer to S&H as "Sleepy and Hungry", but for me, it's PH that makes me feel ravenous and tired...just like I ran a 10K...

I live in Tennessee and every order that I have placed with SNM has arrived two days after placing the order. There have been no exceptions to this outstanding customer service. Cathe and SNM have really got it together. I have complete respect and admiration not only for her very effective...

RE: I can't believe them either! What did they base their criteria on...Collage Video sales? That certainly makes the article suspect! Or sales based on the large distribution companies? This is why I am so thankful that I am capable of maintaining and using my critical reasoning skills.

RE: That's wonderful news! Donna, reading your story was the best part of my day. Way to go, for both you and your daughter!

Donna, I'm not sure what advice to offer...I don't have kids (by fate.) These are just some thoughts off the top of my head. Maybe you could engage your daughter in some healthy activities that are disguised as fun. Roller skating, bike riding, frisbee throwing...etc.. I read at VF a week or...

Kristina and Keta, thanks for the laughs!
