RE: DVD Player & TV Can you post the link to the VF discussion about DVD players. I could only find the general article, "Are You Ready to Upgrade to DVD". Thanks!! Lisa

I ordered the Intensity Series (and all other Cathe except Classics and CTX) on DVD. The Intensity series is coming today. Yes!!!!! I ambitiously ordered these DVDs, as well as some CIAs and Firms, as my incentive to buy a DVD player. Now that Cathe's new series is arriving, I HAVE to get...

I was watching figure skating last week, and I heard the commentators say that the girl who won Olympic Gold (Sara Hughes) was recovering from an injury. They specifically said it was the muscle behind her knee. When I first heard this, I thought it sounded a little odd, because I didn't think...

Try the CIA series. You can read descriptions at www.ciavideo.com. Also, you can find other reviews at www.collagevideo.com. I rate Cathe a "10" for intensity. The CIA series, I'd give on average about a "7". My favorite instructors are Kelli Roberts, Christy Taylor and Fanny Benedetto -...

I am anxiously awaiting my DVDs for the new intensity series, so I was really excited when I saw that SNM posted a clip of Imax 2. I just watched this, and I noticed that Cathe does a lot of the side to side hop-jumps and lunges off the end of the step. I think she calls these straddle taps...

I like FitPrime, and I really admire Anna Benson for striking out on her own. I hope she has long term success with this series. Even though I own and do many Firm tapes, I always thought the moves (i.e. ball room dancing, hokey poses) and some of the instructors (I won't name names) were kind...

Go ahead and get the DVD I like the idea of ordering DVDs from Cathe because they are guaranteed for life. I'm pretty sure this is not the case for VHS, but someone else can confirm. As far as VHS becoming obsolete in the next few years, color me unconvinced. DVD is popular and a great...

CIA suggestions (long) Overall, I give CIA two thumbs up. This series is not always as intense (high impact) as Cathe's, but it is very easy to modify by either adding jumps/hops to the moves, or by holding 3lb weights. You can also use these tapes for your less intense days. :) My...

I love the Bichon. He's so adorable. A couple years ago a Bichon named JR won Westminster Kennel's 1st place in their annual dog show. I always heard that the Bichon is not the kind of dog who can be left alone. He's supposed to be very people oriented. One report actually said the dog can...

I finally broke down and bought a 14" step, and all I can say is, Ouch!!! I am really feeling this in my glutes. It also increased my heart rate considerably. I had been using my 8" step, to do reverse lunges and step ups, but adding those extra 6 inches makes a huge difference. I know I'll...

I'm a very full 36D, and I HATE any bouncing whatsoever. None of those racer back bras hold me in place the way I would like. This may sound a little odd, but if I am doing anything high impact, I always wear 2 bras - one right on top of the other. First I put on the 'minimizer' bra. You...

My mom and aunt watched that show, and yes, they still have some episodes on tape. Too funny. If you want to take a trip down memory lane, check out..... http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/eccentric/20whos.htm#first Remember the white-white backgrounds? Exercise shows/videos have come a long...

I'm 31, but I remember when I was younger, people always made a big deal about the fact that girls should not lift heavy objects. No one ever gave an exact reason why this was, but it was implied that this could affect a "woman's health". Huh??? What did this mean? I pretty much blew off...

All, thanks for your comments. I have some Firm and FitPrime tapes, and they use the medicine ball. This is what first got me thinking about buying one. Now that Cathe's using it too, I have even more incentive to get one. Since I didn't have the ball, I used 5lb hand weight when I did...

Is someone familiar with medicine balls? I've been thinking about getting one for awhile, but have held back because of the price. See this website. These balls are the lowest priced I've ever seen. Do you think these are the same quality as the TKO, GoFit and Everlast balls...

I am trying to get rid of that terrible rubber scent on my stability ball. I love using it, but the smell turns my stomach - especially at 4:30 a.m. I've tried soap and water and spraying it with an air freshner, but this didn't help much, if at all. I can't remember the brand name of the...

Imax 2 - now you've got me salivating!!!! Imax is one of my favorite tapes, and now we get part 2!!! I am soooo looking forward to getting this one. I fantasize about the day I will be able to complete all of Interval 8 (power lunges) without bailing out halfway through and switching to...

Floor work - yeah!!!!! You could do an entire tape of just floor work. ;) Lisa

You might sweat more, but IMO you don't lose any additional fat - or build any extra muscle. I'm not sure about this theory, but think about a sauna. The scale will probably show a lower number for someone getting out of the sauna, but this is water loss only. Anyone else have any other...
