    4-Day Split Preview Party. Are you excited??

    I'm happy I'll be getting them and I'll preview them right away, but it may be a while before I actually do the workouts. I'm a little weird that way. I always have to get in on a Cathe preorder, but with the last two series it took months before I tried them. In fact, I think I've only done...

    Night Shift - fitting in Cathe?

    From one fellow nurse to another, is this your first nursing job? I've been in the profession for more years than I care to mention, but after working full time for 15 years I took some time off to be a SAHM. Now, I just started back to work in a rehab facility doing per diem on the day shift...

    After Cathe...Is Everyone Else Too Easy?

    Come to think of it, I think this question should be moved over to the Open Discussion forum as we're discussing other instructors, not really talking about Cathe workouts...:-)

    After Cathe...Is Everyone Else Too Easy?

    Cathe is the instructor I reach for the most for many reasons, but I can be challenged with workouts like P90X, Barry's Bootcamp and Amy Bento. Have you tried any of them?

    Which one

    Andrea, if your main objective is to tone up and lose weight and you have time constraints, I highly recommend her CTX series. Or, you might want to wait until this new series is released, which is suppose to be very similiar to CTX. CTX is the series I always reach for when I have a busy week...

    amy bento

    Quite a few people on Videofitness.com are ordering them but I'm planning on waiting until the reviews come out. Of the three in her last series I only like one, Hi-Lo Ex. I know she likes to use a lot of equipment and that concerns me. I'll wait for the reviews.

    Slim Series? Anyone Like This?

    I tried a SS rotation but got bored after a few weeks and just couldn't continue. I didn't get rid of them though. They're great for taking on vacation because they don't require much equipment and the workouts don't need much space. This way, I don't have to worry about losing the fitness...

    "10 Exercises that Suck...

    RE: I agree about stomach crunches. Even on the floor I can do a million, using strict form, and not feel a thing. I prefer to do full sit ups, making sure my back is completely straight as I pull up, so as not to strain my lower back. I can only knock off a few of those and I always feel it...

    Barry's BootCamp....yeowza!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who found these tough. I thought I was just getting old. Then I thought it was because I hadn't done Cathe in awhile before doing this series and was just out of shape. On a positive note, After a month of a Barry rotation I went back to Cathe and Drill Max...

    Overall Review of Barrys Bootcamp

    I pretty much agree with your review. Which instructor are you talking about? Doesn't Barry teach the total body workout? It's been awhile since I've done these. One of the reasons I fell in love with this series was because once I got to know what weight to use I got a killer weight workout...

    Drill Max will be my next purchase.

    I think this is Cathe's toughest circuit workout. It kicks my butt every time I do it. I love the functional fitness components in it. I hope she puts out a Drill Max 2 someday!

    Which workout did you not like at first, but now do and why?

    RE: Which workout did you not like at first, but now do... I still can't warm up to Low Max and I probably never will, but I'm keeping it because...ya never know! However, I felt the same way as Kathryn did about Kick Max. I hated it initally and put it away for a year. Now, I've been...

    Review of Barrys Bootcamp Shoulders and Back

    I haven't done this one in a while, but I remember it being my favorite of the bunch. I also like Joey as an instructor.;)

    Barry's Boot Camp on Major Clearance

    I only do the weight work. Cathe's cardio is manic enough. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I attempted Barry's!

    Lookie what the FedEx Man just delivered

    I guess I'm happy for you. But I was hoping you'd say he delivered the new Cathe series!

    any idea where to buy orig firm vol 1 dvd?

    I searched high and low for it a couple of months ago because I didn't want to have to buy it from Firm Direct, but the only place I could find it was at Amazon and the seller there wanted $40 for it! So, I bit the bullet and ordered it from FD. They charged close to $7 for shipping and it was...

    Barry's Boot Camp on Major Clearance

    I think I paid $29 a couple of months ago for these and they were definitely worth it. Most of the workouts have 30 min of weight training and 20-30 min of hi-impact floor cardio and 30 min of treadmill work. I usually did my own cardio because it's quite intense. As I recall the weight...

    Leaner is Meaner!

    It's meaner, but it's one of the few leg workouts I can do. Probably because it's shorter than the others, even though it packs a punch!

    uncontrollable muscle twitching?

    Tonic water helps when my eyelid starts twitching. It may work for muscular twitching too.
