I like the PS series a lot Rozy: This summer I have been rotating the following on a weekly basis: (1) S&H, (2) PS, (3)PUB/PLB and (4)MIS and PH. I am struggling to up my weights a bit every time I revisit a video. And like you I put an aerobics or an "interval" day between the strength work...

Which Cathe DVD's have premixes? Callygrrl (and others), I appreciate all the information discussed in this thread. WHich Cathe step videos have the premixes? I have the step coordination of a water buffalo. -- Davidj

One Cathe quote from PS "Back, Biceps..." Not Cathe here (and understatement for sure). But I just got done doing PS "Back, Biceps and Abs" (1999), and she makes the point in this video that one should one should do the required reps such that one has to to strain moderately to get through...

MM has slightly more varied lifting I agree with Bobbi that both workouts -- MM and ME -- are great, and both have 5-star reviews at most places. MM is somewhat newer -- and has slightly more non-traditional lifts, with more tube- or band-lifting than with ME. Both are approximately the same...

Coming week's rotation.... Hi all. Here is this week's rotation: S: PS "Strong Leg's & Abs" M: Firm "The 500 Calorie Workout" T: PS "Back, Biceps, and Abs" W: Reabok "The Step Video" T: PS "Chest/Shoulders/ Triceps" F: Firm "Total Body Time-Crunch" (one day off to be fit in somewhere)...

Great DVD! Shani: Thanks! I did the strength part of the Cross Train DVD this past weekend and it's great!:) -- David

For me: do favorite (and easier) videos I confess I went off the wagon back in mid-August of last year, and only started back on-wagon five weeks ago. So I am a bad case. What I have been doing is the following: post (on the "Check-ins" page, on Sunday morning), my six days' videos for the...

This week's rotation Guys, my rotation for this week: S: Cathe's S&H "Legs and shoulders" M: leafleting for church (4 mile walk) T: K. Anderson, "Go Step" W: Cathe's S&H "Chest and Back" T: Step Reabok "The Video" F: Cathe" S&H "Triceps and Biceps" S: Amy Dixon "Super Fit Bod" Take...

Use what's confortable for you. Terina: I agree with you about ME being a great workout. I own a regular 5"-8" step, and also this thingly adjustable step I bought ages ago from the Firm. The latter step adjusts from a 10" to a 14" step. For Cathe's leg presses on ME, I use the Firm's 10"...

Check out your local drugstore Here in Canada most drug stores (e.g., Shoppers Drug Mart) have reliable blood pressure machines, for free:). I'm sure there are drug stores south of the border that have these. Also: pharmacists are there to help you. -- David

Some ideas for an internet article (July 16, 2010) Wendy and others on this thread: Some ideas from a Yahoo "Lifestyle" article: http://ca.lifestyle.yahoo.com/health-fitness/articles/archive/heartandstroke/physical_activity-i_work_out_i_gain_weight_what_s_up_with_that_ I quit STS last...

Mid-week check-in My VHS player broke down -- but I hung in there and replaced it with another player I had as a back-up. So far this week I have kept my exercize schedule. Pam: I am like you and cut back on my workout duration, in the heat. Here north of the border, in my town, it was 28C...

Sunday morning check-in Hi everybody. I hope you guys are finding ways of keeping cool. They say the heatwave may be coming to an end:) . I find that posting the upcoming week's schedule works -- since so far I haven't wimped out, and the past week I managed to put in an extra workout on my...

Mid-week check-in Pam (and others): I notice that this is the only thread I read on the Cathe site this week that notes the heat wave in eastern Canada and the north-east US. My place of work is not air conditioned, and I am under a tin roof -- so I work from 8am to 3 pm before giving up for...

Today I did Cathe's Cross Train Xpress "Kickbox" (2000), and found it a delightful and challenging VHS video:). I am thinking of buying the DVD, and want to know if it has an "extras" section that allows for 20-30 min strength-training-only sections. As of now, I have the VHS tapes, which do not...

Sunday morning check-in This week is my third week on the wagon, and I will try to do the following: S: Amy Bento "All Pump Extreme" M: Cathe XTP "Kickbox" T: Cathe "Pyramid Lower Body" W: Jari Love "Extremely Ripped 1000" (aerobics only section) T: Cathe "Pyramid Uppoer Body" F: KCM...

Stll use the VHS player sometimes Bridget: I agree with Shayne and Janie about burning old VHS's to DVDs. For me, I still appreciate the old step videos from years ago -- mostly because the moves are simple to do where one can get a good workout. As for me, I still use VHS machines for my...

Charities might need them I agree with Cheryl and Cathy about donating the mugs (or other unused items) to charity or schools. What I do is to keep a box, and collect useful items over the entire year, and give them to churches or other groups for yard sales. One can obtain a list of yard sales...

I vote for SH and PS Last week I did Slow and Heavy, and this week I did Pure Strength. So I can say I agree with Michele's and Ann's remarks about Slow and Heavy having good form pointers. One point is that there is a 1-minute rest between sets -- and Cathe spends most of the time during these...

Mid-week check-in. Hi guys, Mid-week check-in here. I am doing Cathe's PS videos this week for the strength days. Pam and Nancy, I took your advice and dropped Jari Love as an aerobics DVD (for today) and did Anni's Cario Force (2008) instead. It is a good cardio workout -- and though it's...
