    The Challenge Series

    I'd like another series similar to Hardcore that really challenges your body. The kind of workouts I'd like to see in it: 1) Pilates Challenge (a brutal core workout, using stability ball at times) 2) Kick, Punch and Crunch II 3) Imax Challenge (with an add on bonus of two extra intervals...

    Who thinks Cathe will make a new announcement soon??

    I'm hoping she makes an announcement soon. I absolutely love the presales. My birthday is in March so I'm hoping the presale will start in early March so that I can get a super cool "40th" birthday present. I'm not looking forward to turning 40 so a presale would be an awesome distraction...

    Doms !!

    Four days of chest DOMS from Gym Style Chest and Triceps. It was the very first time I managed to do the drop set of pushups with straight legs. I managed to keep the 20 lb weights for most of the weight segment too. I never realized how often you use your chest muscles during the day. Now it's...

    Cathe February Rotation Sun 4th anyone else?

    Hi Anyone else doing the rotation? I've started the Cathe rotation today. I managed to keep to the 8" for the entire cardio and power section for the first time on Body Max II today. I've been ready to have a nap ever since I finished. Looking forward to Low Max tomorrow. It's been a...

    How Much Exercise Is Enough?

    This is from personal experience. I swam 6 times a week (an hour each time) during the last trimester for both of my pregnancies. This increased my energy for labour and helped my body bounce back quickly. I had an emergency c-section with my first and did absolutely nothing (not even stairs)...

    What will be your Saturday Workout?

    If my upper body DOMS go away and my right ankle stops hurting then I'm doing LIC this afternoon. Otherwise I think my body may be saying REST! Monday was Bootcamp. Tuesday was 75 minutes of intense jazz dance. Wednesday I pulled myself up the rope at the gym and balanced on the balance board...

    What keeps you motivated...

    I love to workout. My challenge is forcing myself to have one rest day a week. I used to workout for 15 to 18 days without a break. For the past two years I've made sure to take one day off a week. What a difference. My muscles got stronger, my legs got leaner and I have more energy to kick butt...

    Sooo anyone in the DEEP freeze yet?

    All week it's been around -36 degrees Celsius with the windchill. Today it's supposed to be -40 degrees Fahrenheit (which is also -40 degrees Celsius) with the windchill. Without the windchill we've been having highs this week around -20 degrees Celsius. The wind has been blowing up to 60 km/hr...

    Cardio Fusion WOW!

    I did Cardio Fusion for the first time today. I love it! It takes all of my favorite parts of the other videos and sticks them together. I had to lower the step height to 6" at the start of the 4th power circuit as my legs were getting shaky, but I persevered and did the whole thing. I will...

    What was your first?

    Maximum Intensity Cardio My girlfriend got it and MIS for me for my birthday. It took a while for me to warm up to MIS as I really hated doing weights. Ironically I now do them 2 to 3 times a week. I totally loved MIC and now I have all of Cathe's advanced workouts. My non-Cathe...

    Do I need Gym Style Legs if I have Butts & Guts?

    I would highly recommend getting Gym Style legs. I have the other leg workouts too. I really enjoy the variety of exercises in gym style legs. It targets the muscles differently than Butts & Guts. I find the DOMS are in different areas for the two workouts.

    Cathe January rotation for Monday 29th

    Hi ladies, I managed to kick a nasty cold out of my system...which slowed me down a lot last week. Saturday I did Drill Max. Sunday I did a 45 minute walk in the bush with my family. This morning I did Bootcamp. I had forgotten how much fun and how sweaty bootcamp is. Ironically I had...

    substitution for Slow & Heavy

    Substituting the gym styles would work well. I personally do not like the slow and heavy probably because you have to have no interruptions (which is impossible with two little kids). I also get bored during the slow and heavy. I've seen better muscle gains with the gym styles and pyramids workouts.

    HARDCORE EXTREME

    I increase to 8" for all of the lowmax and lower to 6" for the imax3 intervals. The more times I do it the easier it seems to be. The important thing is to keep your head above your heart while doing it to prevent getting light headed.

    Cathe January Rotation for Saturday January 20

    Hi everyone! Belinda That's so cool that your husband will do a workout video with you. My hubby tried to do PUB once with me and claimed I was killing him. Today I did Gym Style Legs rather than PLB and the run...I am definitely not a runner! I'm thinking tomorrow's rest day is going to be...

    Older workouts?

    I really enjoy CTX, especially Leaner Legs. They are excellent workouts when you only have an hour to workout. MIC is a personal favorite as it was my very first Cathe workout. It still kicks my butt. I giggle at the outfits on StepMax, Step Jam and Step Heat but they do give great step...
