I have not read all of the replies to this post or Cathe's request, so someone may have already expressed similar thoughts. I've been around for over 5 years so I do have some history. This forum used to be full of fitness & health posts. Since this is a fitness website, I consider posts...

Cathe, thank you for stepping in. I'm looking forward to seeing more fitness topics. Debra

Not much advice since I haven't backpacked in a couple of decades but that's an awesome stretch of the Sierra's. You'll be on the Pacific Crest Trail? Since you're husband & sons are into Scouting, I suspect you're in good hands. Otherwise, I'd suggest an REI backpacking seminar or Sierra...

Dutchie, your anger is understandable & the incident is a good reminder to all of us to be ever vigilant. I suspect you'd feel better if you could be proactive. In the U.S., you have 60 days after receiving a credit card bill to protest a charge. I realize your laws are different but I...

Since they're quite affordable, I would consider getting a set of 3. Cathe uses a pink band with higher resistance in Stretch Max & it seems you'd get a better stretch with less give. I can also see moving to more resistance on the leg presses. I'm feeling tension in my neck using the medium...

The classification would take a lot of time considering Cathe's library! Muscle Max is a total body workout, leaning heavy towards strength building. MIS is the best substitution. Probably the Pyramids are the next closest. ME is obvously all about endurance. Supersets & PP are...

RE: haven't heard much lately about Muscle Max - anyone... Diane Sue, I think you might be a little weary from all of the Hardcore workouts you've done! I don't think Muscle Max has any cardio either. But about that neck tension, I'm feeling it too with some of the band exercises. I'm...

I previewed the circuit training workout. I didn't keep track of time, but it seems to have quite a bit of cardio. It runs through some IMAX-3 step combos & blasts, & throws in quite a few of the High Step blasts. The wt work is from High Step. Someone who wants more cardio & less weight...

The sound I'm one of many disappointed with the sound levels in the Hardcore. I like the workouts enough to keep them, but certainly wish that the music was at a consistent level. It seems that the volume of Cathe's voice is much higher relative to the music. I've been a CUSTOMER for five...

Oops! Obviously I got the 50 right & had a memory lapse after that! The "Way to Cool" looks tough w/ 3600' of climb & descent! It's a pretty area, which will be a nice distraction during your event. Debra

Carole, are you training for the American River Endurance Run? It's mentioned in the Feb 2005 Runner's World & I recall that you're training for a 50 miler. Hope your training is going well. You & Dean Karnazes certainly demonstrate that endurance runners aren't necessarily scrawny! Debra

This is the only Hard Core that disappoints me (other than music & sound issues) because the stretches are not held very long. I will keep the remote handy so that I can hold positions that feel a little tight next time. I like most of the stretches, though some of the ball work felt...

I've done HSC once. Liked it, but always have a tough time figuring out how to use circuit workouts on a consistent basis. Low Max is an interval workout like IMAX3 but you might not get as high of a heart rate. People seem to be all over the board with Low Max. I stayed aerobic, but used...

Laura, my first time through GS legs was yesterday. I have a nice sore spot where the hamstrings meet the glutes. I'm pleased that I'm not crippled as I was the first few sessions of Leaner Legs! I had to adjust my leg position on the inner thigh work. Double check that you're set up...

RE: If I'm getting the Gymstyles......do I need S/H, to... Stephanie, the Gym Style workouts could replace the Pure Strength series, but not Slow & Heavy. GS plays with tempo, but usually has lots of reps, which pushes it towards endurance work. Not that one must have S&H, but it's unique...

Thank you Jillybean!!

The stretches are not held very long in Stretch Max. It's almost a flowing stretching program. Whether you get flexibility gains, depends on where you are starting. Debra
