RE: Jan2006 rotation - I think it worked even though I managed to get my name at the end of it.:-)

RE: Jan2006 rotation - hi Tina I've never done links on here before but try this http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=4564&mesg_id=4564&page=8Ruth

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Thanks Deanie and Sandra. I'll let you know how it goes.:-)

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Hi Sandra - I just decided to abandon this rotation on Friday - now I feel ashamed because you and Jo have posted success with it and I feel like I've not given it enough chance. I was nearing the half way point and finding it hard going especially on my ankles as there...

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Thanks everyone for your help and encouragement and especially Deanie for that impressive rotation :-) . I am going to stick with the one I'm doing another week. If I get some results I will keep going and then I think I will give yours a try. Ruth

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Thanks Deanie - I will certainly consider it - the only thing is I don't have the GS series and I only have PS legs so I might have to repeat S&H or the pyramids. Do you think that would be okay? Ruth

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Hi Traci thanks for the advice. I think that is a good suggestion. I am at the start of my second week today and weighed myself but have gained 1/2lb.:-( I do feel a little slimmer though so hoping that I have lost a little body fat. I couldn't decide whether to...

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Deanie, thanks for the response. I did wonder if it might constitute "overtraining" but as Cathe had posted it as a New Year loosing weight rotation I thought it was worth a go. I feel pleased with myself having managed it this far, but will be a bit disappointed if I...

RE: Jan2006 rotation - Hi It's not in the rotation list but if you search back until Jan this year you will find Cathe's post. I think it's about page 7 or 8 of this forum. Let me know how you get on. It's pretty tough! At least I think so :-) Ruth

Hi I am one week into this tough calorie-burning rotation. I wondered if anyone else has done it all (or is currently doing for a bit of mutual support.:-) ) It contains 70-90min of exercise (a lot of cardio) each day and this week it has included interval training nearly every day. I am...

I love that peg leg mambo pivot in step blast and Imax3 (now I can do it!) and I have to admit I enjoy mambos and reverse mambos although I used to hate them because I couldn't do them. I don't like too much pivoting because I always seem to end up on the wrong foot and I haven't really got...

I too struggle with that move and keeping my back flat, so I am finding Kathryn's and Stephanie's suggestions useful. And I can't even begin to do the pikes on the ball also in that second section of Core Max. Ruth

I also struggled with the choreography on Cathe (still do sometimes :D ). The first workout I ever bought was Interval Max and the first thing she says as you start the main section is "The choreography is basic, you'll get it" - and I was all over the place and so disheartened - yet it is...

Hi Stephanie and Kaz I am from the UK also :-) . It's nice to see some others here doing Cathe. Ruth

I agree the blasts are high intensity and get your heart rate but I don't think that doing Step Blast just once would give the equivalent intensity workout to an IMAX. The number of blasts is much fewer and the length is shorter. However repeating the blasts would be more like it and if you are...

I recently ordered one from http://www.decolleteenhancement.com/Resistance.html HTH

Hi I didn't intend to "work up" to Cathe as I didn't know she existed at the time, but when I started step, I mostly did Keli Roberts - there's an old basic step one which I forget the name of (not the one with Cher which is a bit basic) and a circuit training type one. I then bought...

Well with the levitation pose I take comfort in the fact that Brenda is cracking up laughing at the back not being able to get up there either :7 . Either way I will try the other sections on Core Max and see how I get on. Thanks for the comments everyone! Ruth

Thanks for the tip about the levitation holds. How much do you think that core strength contributes to your ability to do that and how much is in the arm strength? Ruth

Thanks for the comments - it's interesting to hear the different views. I have only tried segment 1 so far which I didn't find too bad (except the levitation lifts and planks - aggh) but then most of those exercises are more standard ab work. I am sure I will find the stability ball more...
