You know in Cathe's cardio routines when you are jumping with both feet at once onto the step and she says "shhhh!"? This takes on new meaning when you live in an apartment. In downtown toronto, the large majority of apartments are "flats"...ie, they're in big houses, and so not so...

Not much to add except, hi! Another canadian here, in Toronto as well. I try to always order and preorder from CKsales. It works out to the same amount, if not a little less even, and the good thing is that if you preorder thru CKsales, they don't charge your credit card until they ship...

I'll also be flying from Toronto, this would be such a great trip! I'll start saving now... Christine

Has anyone ever recorded how many reps of each exercise cathe does in her DVD's? I realise there are tons of worksheets posted at fitnessvideofanatics...but nothing seems to record how many reps of each exercise she does. I know I started to do this at one point then stopped, but I think I...

That's great! Thank you both! Christine P.S. I'm LOVING StepBlast, and SJP. I'm loving them all, actually, and am really looking forward to the new ones!

Sorry if this has been asked, and anyone can answer...but is there somewhere on the site where I can find detailed chaptering information on the new Body Blast DVD's? thanks! Christine

I had the exact same question for myself until I started tracking my period along with my workouts, in the same journal and voila! Every month, exactly one week, to the day, I have a really tough workout day. On some occassions it's been a run that was really tough, others it's been a weight...

I can make it through the whole thing but not with nearly the form Cathe and the crew are using. In particular, by the time we get to the high kicks in the hi lo, my kicks are pretty feeble. This is definitely tougher, and has way more impact, than either Imax, IMHO. Christine

Holy crow-16???? 20???? My 11 year old daughter had 2 friends sleep over a few weeks back and it was pretty brutal. One friend spilled a glass of milk in the keyboard while I was doing my workout, and when I came upstairs afterwards she was complaining to me because she couldn't chat, the...

Slim Series are a nice change; I don't find them as intense as cathe but they are not easy. You've got to love a lower body workout with no weights and NO LUNGES!!! Also, I found that while I didn't notice any losses in overall strength after doing no cathe and all Slim Series for 5-6 weeks, I...

Wow! Thanks, carol! I've actually done both workouts now, Supersets this morning, and Push Pull on Sunday. I love that she goes slow with the reps, so you can go really heavy. Maybe someone can answer this question: why, in supersets, does she refer to the exercises as Group a round one...

Pretty much, yes. I run in the spring/summer/fall (which, where I live, means about 7-8 months of the year only). I also bike to work (not in the winter!), and have recently discovered spinerval dvd's, which I find are great for Cathe-like intensity. I did a slim series rotation in January...

I have both of these coming up in the next few days in my rotation, (haven't done either yet!!) and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what weights cathe and the crew use for the various exercises? maybe listing each and every weight is a bit much-but just wonderin, for instance, on...

I agree, Slow and heavy is one that you might do for max 4 weeks...it is really intense. But I've done as long as 12-16 weeks of Pure Strength and really attribute most of my muscle base to these workouts. PS is really such a solid series, you can use it in a lot of ways too. The two upper...

There's also cardio Kicks. I think it's really more like half hi lo, half kickbox, (as opposed to pure kickbox) and I find it extremely high impact, tough, and it always has me gasping for breath... Christine

Thanks for all the suggestions: I ended up doing MIC (I thought that disk was not working, but it was). Whoa-it's been a while since I did the whole thing. I did it this morning at about 9:00, anbd now at almost 4:00 PM, the fatigue in my legs is unvbelieveable! You gotta love Cathe for...

I'm (finally) trying Catheès january rotation, and I discovered this morning when I wanted to do Bodymax, that my DVD player will no longer read that DVD. I did the gauntlet instead, and now am looking for suggestions on what I can sub in for MIC. I thought about doing the step and hi lo...

RE: Are you going to order the beginner/intermediate DV... I'm ordering all 3. There are days (sick days, tired days) when I'll welcome a Cathe workout I feel up to, as well, I think these shorter, easier ones will be good as add-ons...ie, if I do an intense cardio, I can add 20 min of easy...
