Thanks all! Mmy next cardio day I'll be doing Step Jam then Cardio Kicks and then Circuit Max (on a weekend when I haven't done weights the day before). It seems to help me psychologically to be able to finish a tape, so your suggestions are appreciated. :) Will probably be posting when I do...

I just did this tape for the 1st time today, and WOW is all I can say! I was actually surprised at how easy the choreography is, I had no problem with learning the moves, and no rewinding (I've heard that many people have picked up the moves quickly on this one), but the intensity! I was...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-02-02 AT 04:57PM (Est)[p]Thanks for all of the great advice. I actually forgot about the Firm's LBS and SBHT (I have these, but have not done them for awhile and had just forgotten about them). I may do 1 or both once a week and see how that works. I also love the...

I have a question in regard to which videos or exercises you do as an add-on to your regular rotations. I've noticed that I get the best results when I do 3 days of lower body work per week, whether it's floorwork with ankle weights and added dumbell, tallbox work, etc. If I'm on a PS rotation...

IMO, Cathe's Wedding Video is the best place for one to start when becoming acquainted with Cathe's step tapes. I also was doing Firm videos almost exclusively for years before I started off with Cathe's Wedding Video and was able to do the entire tape at once with only a couple of rewinds, and...

I also got mine from Academy. Mine is a Bollinger and looks like the steps used in Cathe's videos.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-26-02 AT 11:40PM (Est)[p]It's great, isn't it? I basically went from using the Firm almost exclusively to Cathe in the last two months and I'd only done her Wedding Video and Mega Step Blast a couple of times before jumping into the CTX rotation, and WOWZA! By the end of the...

I've been reading some past posts, and I really think this is an incredibly informative thread in regard to the various rotations. Thought I'd bump to the top for those needing rotation suggestions! (I'm saving this one in a file)

I've heard that the S&H series is fantastic, I bet you'll see some awesome results. I did order the FIRM kit (on Jan. 31st - my card was charged on 3/18 but I haven't received the kit yet), I was also going to cancel the shipment, but I wanted the FL because I don't have the steps for the other...

I envy you! There are so many different ways to mix and match with the DVD's, aren't there? I can't wait until we finally get a DVD player!

Hi, I was also confused when I started with the CTX series, but I think that ultimately, these tapes become so fun, that you forget that you had trouble learning them. I've always been a 'simple choreography, no-brainer' type cardio person. I remember asking for advice in regard to what tapes...

Hi jillybean, your rotation sounds great. I'm thinking of incorporating something similar, but I was unsure how to mix and match my new tapes and yours gives me some good ideas. My dh knows I'm getting all these Cathe tapes, but hasn't seen the credit card statement yet - hopefully they'll...

Hi shoeprincess, I also do the Firm (started out with them 4 years ago), and I know what you mean about intensity with the Cathe tapes! I think they've allowed me to be able to push a little more each time and I feel like my cardio endurance has really improved already. Also, my upper body...

Hi all. :) I am fairly new to Cathe's vids (have been doing them for 2 months now), started with the Wedding Video and then added MIS, Power Hour (MIS and PH were a little too advanced for me when I did them, but I'm hoping to revisit them soon), Mega Step Blast, Step Heat, Step Max, IM, CM...

I just started the CTX rotation last week and am onto week 2. I LOVE this series! Although I'm still sore from Leaner Legs, it was a great feeling of accomplishment to be able to get through the entire tape and with almost as much weight as Cathe used on the barbell. I can't get over how fun...

I just received my CTX series last week, and started my rotation on Monday. I absolutely LOVE the variety, sequencing and intensity of these tapes! And I'm only half way through them! I wanted to ask a couple of questions to those of you who have experimented with different variations of...

Hi, I wanted to respond because I had the same complaints as you just 6 months ago, and my skin has really changed since adding in a couple of products (sorry if this post is repetitive, I didn't have time to read the other posts). I use Cellex-C or Skinceuticals C in the morning, followed by a...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-11-02 AT 06:00PM (Est)[p]It's strange, because I just took a one week break, and I ended up losing weight as well (5 lbs - I know this wasn't all fat, it was some water, but nevertheless). I ate more during that week than I normally do, and I didn't do ANYTHING at all as far...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-08-02 AT 11:36PM (Est)[p]LAST EDITED ON Mar-08-02 AT 11:35 PM (Est) I just received mine today and am planning my rotation starting next Monday, and will do it for as long as I feel challenged (but will stop before Christmas :P ) Can't wait!

LAST EDITED ON Mar-03-02 AT 03:46PM (Est)[p]I'm so glad to hear of everyone's experiences with the CTX series - I just ordered these 6 tapes and am really looking forward to a rotation! I was looking through past posts to see how everyone uses this series and the combinations seem endless...
