    When the HARDCORE series is released, how would you like the workouts to be packaged?

    I don't know if you missed it but... Seeing as Cathe and SNM have already announced the workouts will be on separate DVDS, this poll is a little pointless. I love having multiple workouts on one DVD and I love the premixes but a worthwhile number of people's DVD players cannot play these...

    Hardcore Gym Style DVD options?

    Please think of other people. As much as I appreciate the way Cathe has marketed her DVDs to date especially as it meant I got to try workouts I might not have tried if they were all on separate DVDs, I think this time, she's made exactly the right decision. It's not easy at all to author a DVD...

    Good Days, Bad Days, and Criticism

    Janice I feel like this a lot lately. My problem is different in that I keep getting humbled by injuries. Five years ago I was in the best shape of my life until I had two accidents in quick sucession. Two years ago I finally felt strong enough to start exercising for real again when I broke my...

    OT/ What do you coffee drinkers put in your coffee??

    Cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate, vanilla and a little bit of sugar with semi-skimmed milk (half-fat in the US?). Usually not altogether, sometimes just one without the rest and sometimes I just add two or three together. The same goes for hot chocolate. I love Starbucks Caramel Macchiato but...

    Cathe: Questions about your new Hardcore Series

    Since we're all talking about music, please do include a music off option again :) Please, please don't use the same music you used in Step Blast. I *hate* techno style music and haven't even tried Step Blast yet because I find the music so horrible and offensive to my sensitive ears that I...

    Power Hour vs. Muscle Endurance

    I do enjoy Power Hour but I prefer Muscle Endurance. I feel like I need to warm-up for Power Hour's warm-up versus Muscle Endurance's warm-up, which feels thorough. As far as intensity and difficulty goes, it's ME that gets my vote for being the toughest. Personally, I'd get the ME/Boot Camp DVD...

    Anyone here suffer from IBS? HELP!

    I have exactly the same trigger and oil of peppermint capsules has also helped me enormously (along with aloe vera, milk and water (not all together at once!)). The worst part for me is not the pain, the inconvenience or the unpredictability, it's the bloating :( I can't do any core work...

    So Angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Don't hate, take action and do it now. Wow I am absolutely shocked that you have been told to get rid of your dogs else they will be put down. Surely that is not legal. I have never ever heard of this happening in Britain and I am appalled that anyone on this earth would even think about making...

    Computer knowledge?

    FYI for anyone who read the above message and is worried: SHAREWARE is copyrighted software that you willingly use for a limited period of time before you are asked to purchase it. If it has come from a reputable source, it will most likely be free from the nasties discussed here. SPYWARE is...

    Is it worth pre-ordering the new series for those of us who live outside North America and don't hav

    Hi Cathe, Like a lot of your internationally based fans, I don't own a High Step and so far have not been able to find a company in the UK who actually sells these. I really like the sound of your forthcoming workouts but I wonder if it would be worth pre-ordering them if I don't have a High...

    Need help sleeping at night!

    Relaxation/Meditation CDs: particularly Yoga Nidra (all you do is lie still and listen: no yoga and no experience required) and one of Kelly Howell's CDs. I recommend the Healing Meditation CD. I hardly ever make it up the mountain before I ZZZzzzzzzz :) The Yoga Nidra CD is available at...

    muscle sorness in back

    Hi Susan, I have a lot of back trouble (old back injury) and agree with everyone's advice here. I'd like to add to their advice by recommending Arnica for pain relief and also a bath in epsom salts. Arnica is available in a variety of preparations but my favourite is Arnica oil: I literally...

    embarrassing ?

    I find this less of a problem when I drink enough water and exercise regularly. Peppermint tea and peppermint capsules also help. ATB, - Lisa :)

    TOE SPASM'S

    Hi Christina, AllisonT has given you some excellent advice. I have had toe and foot spasms since breaking my left foot in 2002 and I find the exercises Allison cited plus my yoga practice (especially yoga) to be very beneficial. Check out this article on foot problems from yogajournal.com...

    Videos limit you???

    Holly I have exactly the same problem but there's no way I'd want to lose that muscle! Lunges and kickboxing are the most helpful for evening out the shape of my thighs. I was also concerned that using weights might make my quads even more prominent but then I look at Cathe and her crew who can...
