This FIRM video is a classic and was created in 1999. It has Tracie Long as the Master Instructor (she was my favorite). It is a very thorough and intense weight lifting workout that is about 70 minutes long. It works every body part and intersperses light cardio segments here and there...

Isn't it amazing how we females gripe about being so "old"? (I don't hear too many men complaining). I have friends who are turning 30 and they feel old. I tell them to "get over it". You're not even halfway through your life span and you're worrying about being too old at age 30? PUHLEASE...

They do their usual squats, plyometrics, leg presses, mambos, etc....same old moves as their previous versions. I agree w/ Mona's post....the moves seem to be very half-hearted...the instructors aren't giving their all. The new Transfirmer series are very similar to BSS2 (if you have that...

Thanks Sabrina! I think I have to have a separate section in my notebook for "A-Jocks Mish-mosh". It will be full before I know it. Eileen

Sarah, The heart rate monitor is calculating your target training zone based exclusively on your age. It does not take into account your fitness level. As you become more fit, your resting heart rate becomes lower, therefore your target training zone bpm will be much higher. This link...

Hi Annette, I've seen all of your mish-mosh rotations and they all look awesome (and super advanced)! Do you happen to have all of these rotations saved in one document that you can send to me (and other interested mis-moshers)? Thanks for all your help... Eileen

Debbie & Lori thank you very much for the compliment! *blush* I just had to comment on Cathe's resemblance to Natalie Portman. As Donna says "Natalie is breathtaking". So is Cathe! She really "takes my breath away" when I'm doing Imax 2 LOL!!!!

I agree the leg w/o isn't that tough (you'd have to load up the barbell but you still have to hoist that heavy weight over your head which could be dangerous) but the upper body workout was great! I really gained strength and have upped all of my weights by 5-10 lbs from what I normally used...

Has anyone noticed that in her videos, when she wear her hair up, and the camera is focused far away, that she looks slightly like Natalie Portman (Star Wars)/Keira Knightly (Pirates of the Caribbean)? Considering that Cathe is twice their age, she looks just as good as(if not better than)...

Great article! Although it forgot to mention the fourth major advantage for exercising in the morning: COMMITMENT It's the first to check off your daily "To Do" list. That way, you get the satisfaction knowing that you did your workout first and every other task is secondary. If you did your...

I can't wait either. I live in NJ and Cathe's gym is about 2 hrs from where I live. I would love to meet Cathe and take a live class w/ her. I just have to prep some more w/ her Hardcore series. Don't want to look like a wimp next to Sgt. Cathe! LOL..... Eileen

KPC is the only cardio workout that makes me sore in the abs and arms the next day. Love that Hammer Punch, Drop Lunge, Knee Smash drill. Eileen

You have a lot of muscle endurance, circuit style, cardio workouts. Maybe your next purchase should be on strength training videos such as Pure Strength, Slow and Heavy, or the Gym Style series. Everyone is raving about the Gym Style strength training videos. Also the Pyramid Upper and Lower...

Ugh Gilad #1 Trainer? He's so annoying (right up there w/ Sharon Mann). His workouts are way too easy compared to Cathe's. Well either way, Cathe has my vote (and money). I'll continue to stick w/ her instead of Mr. I'm-Too-Sexy-for-Fit-TV-Gilad....LOL!! Eileen

What's this I hear about Cathe opening up a new studio? Does anyone know where it's located? Who will be running it? What classes will they offer? Etc, etc, etc. Thanks! Eileen

I think the stigma associated w/ home workout videos is because there are SO MANY exercise videos on the market that are not high quality like Cathe. Cathe is definitely a minority when it comes to producing exercise videos that delivers gym style results. I mean think about it? Who is she in...

From all the research out there, interval training appears to burn more calories because it takes your heart rate to the maximum then brings it back down. Your body also continues to burn more calories after an intense interval style workout. However, you do not want to do interval training...

Ladies you all look fabulous! Check out all those buff arms! Wow. I wish I could meet all of you. One of these days, we should all organize a trip to Cathe's studio in NJ (and hopefully meet Cathe in person) Eileen
