I agree with a few others on flying angels - I never feel graceful on that. I always think the downward dog stretch must look pretty strange to an outsider. And many moves on the stability ball such as my attempts at pikes which sort of collapse half way through......

Hi Sarah Yes I am in the UK and get hit for customs charges when I buy Cathe dvds also. I had a real shock the first time, but now I understand a bit how it works which helps to calculate the best way to buy things and to know what to expect. You are allowed a gift up to the value of £36 or...

I wonder if you have enough protein in your diet and/or enough calories. To build muscle your body needs to feel it has calories to spare to use in muscle building. Do you have a protein drink or something similar before or after doing the workout? I have just done the leg blast premix for...

This is one of my favourite series too. The music is great and Cathe and the crew seem at their most relaxed and happy. Step Blast is really challenging so you never get bored and really satisfying when you can do it.

I got my 7 year old son the Billy Blanks Tae Bo kicks for Christmas as he was always wanting to do my Cathe dvds. He seems to enjoy it and it doesn't seem too hard.

I gather from Advanced Workouts that you are going to replace my dvds since I requested it so thank you for that. (However I still feel that it would be better to automatically replace for everyone wherever they ordered from.)

Hi I am in the UK and preordered the 4 new dvds through Advanced Workouts. I just contacted them to ask about when they were sending the replacements and they said they had already sent them to customers who had had problems but that you weren't providing them with any for those whose...

I am happy to be included. Ruth

I have emailed Advanced Workouts and asked them but waiting for a reply currently.

I am in the UK and ordered from Advanced Workouts (because they gave free shipping plus preorder deal). I have been notified they are in transit but not arrived. I will also have to pay import tax. But I was wondering what to do about replacements - SNM say that they are automatically...

I haven't had Imax-3 for very long so I may grow to love it as I get used to it, but at the moment I prefer Imax-1. I also enjoy Imax-2 and it is the happiest, least serious one, but it is definitely easier. The choreography on Imax-3 is trickier than Imax-1 (even on the intervals) although I...

I think some of them are standard (step) aerobics terms as well - I certainly knew things like turnstep/horseshoe, repeater, leg extension, hamstring curl and grapevine before I had done any Cathe. And obviously some like mambo and cha-cha are dance terms. But I had never come across others...

Thanks Cathe for taking the time to answer and for giving me some new approaches - I really appreciate it and feel a lot more encouraged now.

Sorry I meant PLB not upper. It's funny my legs just reminded of that when I stood up off the chair :D

Hi Cathe I have a question about using the stability ball. I struggle to use it for a good number of the core and leg exercises you do in your workouts. An example would be the glutes and hamstring exercise in PUB which I was attempting this morning where you have a heel on the ball and...

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Hi Randi You might want to take a look at the Feb 2006 rotation that Cathe posted as it was supposed to follow on from the Jan one. Cheers Ruth

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Hi Deanie Just to let you know I am really enjoying the rotation you posted. I have modified a bit as I don't have all the same workouts so I did Slow and Heavy for the first two weeks which I really liked. And some of the cardio is different - sometimes I do a...

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Good luck with it Randi. I hope it works for you. I'm a bit disappointed with myself that I didn't give it a good enough try and maybe I will come back to it some time. Another approach might be to only do one or two weeks at a time as shock therapy.

Hi Marcy Can I be cheeky and ask if you could email the compendium to me too? Unless it's available somewhere on this site? Thanks ever so much Ruth [email protected]

Hi I started out with the Reebok step and used that for several years before changing to the Original Step. The Reebok step is a bit shorter so you notice a difference when going sideways over the step. I would say the Reebok step is also a bit quieter when you step on it. The Reebok step...
