    How long should a DVD collect dust?

    I'm amassing quite a ginormous collection of workout videos and DVD's. I feel somewhat guilty about having so many. Also, it gets overwhelming wondering when I'm going to have the time to do them all. How do I know when it's time to donate some? Does anyone use any sort of "policy"--such as...

    the maximum heart rate in a session

    Hey Sharona! Not Cathe, but I thought I might be able to help. Actually, the formula I've seen for calculating a max heart rate is 220- your age. This would put your max at 181. The polar calculates your heart rate "zone" which is 70-85% of your max. Since Cathe often has intervals in her...

    How come so many people sell "All Step"?

    Just curious. It was the first Cathe I bought from Ebay and it seems there are always lots of them for sale, but not much else from CTX. So, how come everyone sells this one?

    Do you consider yourself PC?

    I've tried to anser this many times and cannot say anything that will not get me in trouble by someone here--}( Suffice to say that no, I am not PC, but I do have common sense.

    Cardio Fusion step premix!

    I haven't even opened my CF yet and had no idea there were premixes! Is the step premix the step portions of LIC and BM2 together? That sounds like a great (and fun) workout!

    Turbo Jam anyone? And My Drill Max confession

    I am one of the few who didn't care for Turbo Jam. It wasn't a bad workout. I just found all the yelling and "baby doll" and singing to be annoying. I really wanted to like it and I did it several times just hoping I would "catch the fever." I finally broke down and sold it on Ebay. BUT, I...

    Passion of Christ

    The only time I cried during this one was when Mary was remembering Jesus as a little boy. My own son at the time was 3 years old, so I kept imagining how she must have felt.

    Things I just don't get...

    I don't get how ridiculously PC this country has become. It's to the point where we can't make fun of anyone any more...not even ourselves.

    Where do I begin?

    Even if you're intermediate, I would start with the Beginner Rotation. Buy Basic Step/Body Fusion and Low Impact Step. They will help you gradually learn Cathe's style, cueing and moves. I had been doing step for years and still found the beginning workouts of Cathe's to be challenging. From...

    Step Blast

    I too had trouble with this one. I just did one combo at a time. So day one, I'd do the warm up and repeat combo one three times. I would move on to combo 2 when I felt I had 1 down pretty well. So, I'd do the warm up, combo 1, and repeat combo 2 2-3 times, and the same thing with 3. It is...

    ? regarding HIIT vs Steady state cardio re: cals burned

    I found that steady state got easier--not as winded, more fun, etc. after I added the HIIT, so I definitely agree with the aerobic endurance argument.:-)

    What's your favorite Xmas (that's right, XMAS) movie?

    RE: What's your favorite Xmas (that's right, XMAS) movi... Another vote for "A Christmas Story"--I leave the marathons on TV when I go to bed. Going to sleep with it on and waking up with it on feels so Christmas-y to me.:D "Deck da hars wit bars of hawry fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra."

    whats next

    I went from where you are to Step Heat (Classics) to Power Max (Cardio Hits). That worked for me. Cross Train Express might also be a good purchase for you.

    How about a "bonus cardio cooldown" for premixes, mix & match?

    This is just a suggestion I thought of as my heart was racing at the end of a cardio premix on one of the new workouts (I think it was the Body Max 2 time saver cardio). I thought it would be nice if there was an option for me to go to a cardio cool down with Cathe and the gals instead of...

    Ryka Instructor style shoes?

    Thanks! I also read some reviews at Zappos and 1/2 say they run a half size small and 1/2 say they run true to size. What is your experience? I have 3 pairs of Rykas--two feel true to size and one feels too small. They are not sold in stores where I live, so I have to buy them online...and...

    Body Max 2

    So, am I the only one who thought I was gonna die on the all cardio premix? The one with the power circuits and blasts all together? I have to drop down to a 4" platform on that one!
