    RWH, Xtrain and the most recent new releases

    This looks like a wonderful rotation, but I don't have Cross Fire or To the Max. Do you have ideas for substitutions for those? I have almost everything else, including the Low Impact Series. Thanks! Anne

    Bummed, have pneumonia...

    You need rest while you recover. And your fitness will come back surprisingly quickly. It's doubtful you've lost much at all. I've taken time off from working out at various times for various reasons and I'm always shocked at how fast I can get back to where I was.

    Cathe - so cute!

    I love that, too! And I love that work out. I thought it would be way too hard for me at my current level, but it turns out it's just right! A challenge, for sure, but doable!

    Power Sculpt Series with Stacie Clark

    Thanks, Belinda, I didn't think to look on Amazon. The reviews don't sound very good there. I guess I'll just wait patiently for Ripped with HiiT from Cathe!

    Power Sculpt Series with Stacie Clark

    Has anyone tried the Power Sculpt Series with Stacie Clark? I think it's pretty new, but I'm not sure. It looks interesting, but the work outs are pretty short, so I'm not sure how effective they would be for someone who is used to doing Cathe level weight training. If anyone has an opinion...

    How long have you been a Cathlete?

    I think it was 1994. Or around then. My first Cathe purchase was PowerMax because I love complex choreography. I discovered her at the Video Fitness web site. I started lifting weights with her with the Body Blast series. I credit her with my ability to move 2 50 pound chairs into my house by...

    Turbo Barre or Lower Body Blast?

    May I hijack this thread a little bit? Do you all think Turbo Barre, once a week, would be a good compliment to running? Thanks! Anne

    Hi Ladies

    Blast from the past! Hi, Amber! You will love your race--I haven't done one of those, but who wouldn't want to be chased by zombies? I did an 8K in Portland, OR at the end of July. Very fun!

    Best stretching video?

    Another vote for StretchMax with the band. My all-time favorite as well. But, if you're looking for something slightly shorter, I also use the first segment of Total Body Stretching a lot. It's about 13 or 14 minutes and really stretches the legs well. It uses no equipment. I did it last night...

    Strengthening Abs: Need Advice

    Take up tap dancing. :p Seriously, though, I used to hate ab work, too, until I finally gained strength in that area and was able to do more and more. And then I started tap dancing and noticed a considerable increase in my ab strength. I've been a stop-and-go exerciser over the last couple of...
