Afterburn has a decent amount of core work as well. If I remember, it has mountain climbers, push up jacks,spiderman mountain climbers, and front dumbbell swings, all of which are good for the core as well as other muscles.

Greetings, I hope you are all having a relaxing holiday. I just finished my workout for today, Michelle Dozois Peak Cardio Strength. This is a metabolic workout that mixes compound strength moves and cardio bursts, it's like HiiT and metabolic wrapped in one. This was my first time through and...

Hello, Today I did Cardio and Weights, which I've never done before and downloaded because Renee has mentioned it a few times. Not a big calorie burner, but it was a good workout and I enjoyed it. Katie, sorry you have such poopy weather again this weekend. Hopefully spring is right around...

Hola, Ladylep, today is another day. We all have days where we just can't seem to stop eating, and if it's not nailed down, it's going down the hatch. ;) All you can do is try again the next day. I know it's hard to look at the long view some times, but when we eat well most of the time...

Thanks for the suggestion, Melissa. I will take your advice and get the slow and heavy series and see how I like it. When I get DVDs from other instructors (not Cathe), I buy them from collagevideo.com and totalfitnessdvds.com. I have 10% discount code at the later because I'm a video...

LOL, Melissa! That just shows how tough you've become the last few months doing XTrain! I am previewing those workouts now and I'm interested. I've seen the clips before but have not taken the leap, but this might feed my need for more weight lifting right now. I'm going to get the...

Renee, I vote for TTM or CF. Whatever you decide will be better than nothing, so you could just play it by ear when you get up tomorrow. Here is the slow and heavy rotation, from October 2007: WEEK ONE Mon: Slow & Heavy Back and Chest Tues: Slow & Heavy Legs Wed: Step Blast and...

Katie!!! Congrats on the scholarships! That is awesome! I'm up for a slow and heavy rotation if you gals are. Maybe I'll look back at the old rotations and see what is there. I will probably do non-Cathe cardio, though. Eva

Greetings, Everyone! Katie, I am not surprised that you are nursing some DOMS after doing AB. I think that is probably one of Cathe's most effective workouts, and it always gives me DOMS after I revisit it after a long absence. Maybe I'll put that in my queue for this weekend...that's a great...

Good luck on your Murph, Shannon! You'll do great!! It sounds like you are having a good time with that and that's awesome. I can certainly relate to wanting to do something new. I've been venturing out into some new workouts lately and I'm really enjoying the new challenges. I was getting very...

Yes, I think that if you can do Body Max2 you would definitely be able to do Step Blast, and I agree that it is a lot of fun. Eva

Safe travels, Renee! I will check in again later after I workout. All the ideas I had today about what to do are gone, so I guess I'll just see what's talking to me when I get home. Eva

Ok, I'm finally catching up on old posts and am responding to a few things that caught my eye: Melissa, I do have Cardio Core Circuit and I don't reach for that one too often. I am most often using it now between segments for Tonique when I am feeling super energetic, as a cardio blast. I...

Hello Everyone, Katie, I am sending your niece prayers for the baby. I sincerely hope they are blessed with a healthy baby and that no interventions will be necessary to get there. I cannot imagine how stressful that must be for all of you. :( I'm glad you had a nice yoga workout yesterday...

Hi Shannon, When I saw your response to my kettlebell question, I was going to ask you about Crossfit, since you referenced it in your response. There is now a Crossfit gym (or box, as you said) in my neighborhood, so I am definitely tempted to try it. Eva

Greetings, I've been considering getting a kettlebell recently so that I can add kettlebell swings to my workouts. I'll probably keep it at work and use it when I need a quick pick me up. I would love to hear from anyone who is training with these about your routine and your results. I was...

I, and many others here, had great success using the LIS to lean out our legs. There have been quite a few reports on this since that series came out. If you have that set, try the rotation that Cathe published for a couple of months. That, and a clean, clean diet, would hopefully give you the...
