The first time I did STS Meso 1 Disc 3 Legs. Actually every time. I remember when STS came out everyone was in agony and requesting relief-Cathe recommended soaking in Epsom salts. Beth

I've previewed half of T and T and think it looks A LOT harder than Bikini Bootcamp! BB was actually semi-doable for me without a lot of modifications. But I've been doing KickMax the last 4 Mondays in a row and I think that conditioned me pretty well for this particular one. I'm really...

OK, my 2nd DB (original series) workout today, after taking one day off for foam rolling and yoga relax. This one is kickboxing. The title "Bikini Bootcamp" doesn't sound like a kickbox workout to me-I like Hard Strikes and KickMax titles better for that! It had the traditional moves we all...

So I did the DB Barre workout today. First, a few cons: 1-no mirror cueing. However, you are facing the screen most of the workout so its no trouble to just follow their moves and ignore the right/left commands. 2-chaptering-it has 5 chapters that start every 10 minutes but have no relation...

There were a lot of lunges, plie squats, and warrior type moves-it bothered my knees a little but not bad. Then you do some work on your knees and after all the lunges my knees hurt sitting on them (for camel, for example.) But its not anything like doing plyo scissors or jacks. I thought it was...

I actually thought all your comments were quite funny! I'm just hoping the workouts aren't like your comments!!!!! They arrived today and I'll start previewing them tomorrow! Beth

You guys are so brutal! But I can take it!!!! The DVDs arrive today from Mary. At the risk of more insults, I still plan on giving them a review from the standpoint of a mostly cathe workout junkie. I just did Michelle Dozois BodyFit 360 which is quite similar in style although looks better...

Anyone doing these? I caved and ordered the first set from TotalFItnessDVDs for $99-should arrive this week. If you are, do they compare in any way to any Cathe workout? They just look totally different which is why I ordered them to shock my body in a new way. Beth

You can do the weights only and skip the plyos, and then add on a tough floor work routine to boost it to about 45-50 minutes. Like the floor work from Gym Styles, Butts and Guts, or Lower Body Blast. I have to do that myself-I can do plyo work alone but when I alternate plyos with wts THEN I...

I had a Cory Everson step VHS that was choreographed to 50's, 60s and 70s music. Very psychedelic. She couldn't keep in step with the beat, I remember that! Beth

You can do what I did since I have no health insurance. Just let it wear out over time. It eventually goes away on its own. Beth

I have my downloads stored in Dropbox and they play with no problem. Since I have Dropbox on both my computers (desktop and laptop) I basically have the downloads stored in 3 places, ( 2 computers plus the cloud) virtually ensuring I'll never lose them. Beth

I just saw that Collage has 2 minute clips up of the Classic Firms vol 1-6!!!! I have sadly gotten rid of all my VHS tapes so it was so fun to watch these! Those outfits! The breathy sexy cues! The stripper music! Hilarious. But they really are great workouts! Beth

I just checked out this premix on my workout sheet. Its 47 minutes long, no warmup included. You do 4 sets of walking lunges, 2 sets of leg press, 1 dynamic and 1 static hammer punch lunges,2 sets of one legged squats, 3 sets of the lunge/squat sequence (no wts), 2 sets of firewalkers and 1 set...

The super slow counts are definitely different from all her other workouts. it does require more mental focus and patience though. Also the 1 minute breaks were BORING, as opposed to STS where for some reason I did not get bored. I'd recommend watching as much of the previews as you can to get a...

I would live near work and use your time you would have spent commuting to do something fun! Beth

I like the Rudi's gluten free sandwich breads, original and multigrain. It has fairly decent ingredients. Udi's (different company) has come out with some new breads that look good too with millet grain. Beth

Why not use the prescription Retin-A generic instead-tretinoin cream? Its now only $15 a tube and is the gold standard still for anti-aging/wrinkles according to my dermatologist. One tube lasts me 6 months because you use a very thin coat. Way cheaper than over the counter stuff. Beth

I totally forgot about frozen grapes! I used to eat those all the time! Yummy!

These are all great suggestions ladies, thank you!!! The kale chips I have heard of and they have a great nutritional profile. Will give them a try!!! Beth
