I'm looking forward to the pyramid tapes. I find cathe's strength tapes so...trustworthy, like I can pick a style (lifting for strength, size, endurance, or whatever) and she'll have the right workout. I can't wait to see what this style of lifting does, and get it into my rotations. Also, of...

On the topic of medicine balls, I have to say that I think a 10 pound ball would be pretty tough-maybe I'm a bit of a wimp, but I still find my 4 pound ball challenging when I use it in the odd Mindy workout-I could maybe use a 6 pounder but I have no intention of trying these new cathes even...

Wow. Cedie has always been really inspiring to me just because she is ALWAYS smiling on tape, if I'm having a tough moment, I always look to Cedie to keep me going. And to add to that, now she has shown the most amazing progress in her muscle development. I'm prety blown away! This really is...

Both are great, but I find Power Hour to be a bit...relentless! Lots of reps, no rests...I am currently doing a short MIS rotation and I'm really liking it, low-ish reps (12 or 16), only 2 sets of each exercise, it seems to go by quickly and it's really easy to split into an upper body day and...

I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to this, but I am!! This is what Cathe has done to me: I am EAGERLY anticipating these extremely tough workouts. And, there's some guys too! Yay! Christine

RE: My two cent Just had to step in and say I think Mindy's Strength Express is one of the best functional fitness workouts out there. Kisuzu (hi!!), I know you're a Mindy fan...if you don't have this one, definitely get it, even if you just get the VHS. I do have the DVD with this and the...

Wow-I assume the two blonds are Ceedee and Brenda...holy Triceps!! Can't wait for these workouts, Christine

Labrada makes some pretty good bars, they have a ton of protein (20-30 g maybe?)and they make a line of really low-carb ones sweetened with sucralose. Chocolate peanut butter is pretty good. But Labrada also makes a bar, Texas Pecan Pie, that is so delicious it tastes like a candy bar to me...

I am SO GLAD to see everyone on a 6" step. I always feel like a bit of a wimp when I do Imax cause I will not go higher than a 6" step, I just won't! Yay 6"!! Christine

Hi Dawn! I had Imax for easily 6 months before I even had the courage to unwrap it. Then I read on these boards how people modified, and worked up to it, and now I LOVE it. Christine

LAST EDITED ON Nov-06-02 AT 03:02PM (Est)[p]Hi Fitness RN, The way I deal with this-er-problem, is I wear incontinence pads when I do high impact. Yep, incontinence pads. I used to wear maxi pads but the other kind of pads are made for this. I pretty much need to wear one for every Cathe...

RE: Cedie Wow, Cedie and Brenda have AMAZING arms...I want to be just like that when I grow up!! Christine

Hi! I LOVE this workout, although I dread it a bit. I find the first leg section is almost an interval workout, I get pretty out of breath. Then, the leg work with the paper plates is REALLY tough, and I love all the pushup variations. I am always really sore the day after this one, it is...

I think it's really, really important not to beat yourself up for this stuff. It happens, it happens to everyone, for some people it happens once a month, once a year, and for some it's a daily battle. Like others have said, put it in the past, and make good choices at the next meal. Drink...

Hey, I never made any claims as to no cussing and f*rting. Those are a given. There was just no earth-shattering thuds! Christine

For all the regular Imax users, this is probably obvious, but I was amazed to find how grueling Imax was to do this morning as I attempted to do it as quietly as possible. I am proud to say that this was the first time I've gotten through the whole tape, without waking up the whole house! It...

Karen Voight has a couple of great pilates style workouts...I have them both on a DVD, but on tape I think one is called body reform abs and back...the DVD is called total body pilates. I also like Ana Caban, and the Stott tapes, although a little dry, are excellent. Christine

Hi Donna, Don't be down on yourself re: the kids thing. You are a remarkable person and an inspiration to your daughters, a role model. You were the first person to respond to one of my first posts here, in Feb this year, and you designed my first Cathe rotation, and it totally kicked my a#@...

This is so interesting! PS came to mind when Janice originally asked if there was a Cathe tape for muscle size. I think the rep counts fall under the guidelines posted, and there are rests between sets, unlike the waaaay more endurance oriented CTX, for example. I also want to ultimately keep...

Q for Mindi and others using Cathe for Body RX: what exercises do you substitute for the machine exercises he shows in the book? I am particularly wondering about the back exercises, and the legs? Christine
