RE: Yes, Karen! WARNING!!! I, too, innocently asked that same question about 2 years ago..."what is VF?" on another forum. Now, I own about 100 tapes and counting. VF is a wonderful place but it's really hard on the credit card!!! (although, I did discover Cathe through VF, so of course...

RE: CK sales prebook announced Hey fellow Canadians! (and HELLO Kim!!) I got my email from cksales, replied with my preorder for all 4 dvd's then pormptly erased their email. However, I can tell you that the price for all 4 was $189 cdn plus GST and shipping which I do believe works out to a...

So if cathe is saying it doesn't have to bounce, then that means she will not have us bouncing the med balls? THANK GOODNESS! This was the most ridiculous thing I have ever caught myself doing, was bouncing my 4 pound med ball and waking up the whole neighbourhood, the first time I did a...

RE: YES! Hey, fellow Canadian Cathe-ites...has anyone heard anything else from CKsales? I know it's only been three days but...can you tell I'm itching to preorder these workouts? Christine

wow, Mindi...that's a huge gain in 6 weeks, from 5 lb dumbell to pressing 50 lb. Can someone describe Body RX for me? I'm not interested in weight loss but it sounds interesting... Christine

RE: It ain't just you . . . The Terminator looks AMAZING. I can't wait. Isn't that kind of sick really, to be in such anticipation of something that will surely kill you? Christine

RE: YES! I got the same email! YAY! I'm very excited... Christine

Does anyone know if CK Sales will be offering a similar presale to Canadians? I realsie they are the cdn distributor of Cathe vids & DVD's so I assume yes but I'm wondering if anyone (SNM?) knows for sure...do I wait? or do I preorder right now!!?? Christine

I have tried most of the pilates tapes out there...I think if you are looking for a real no nonsense, int to advanced pilats workout, you've got to try Stott Intermediate matwork. Another excellent pilates style routine is karen Voight's body reform pilates...I don't know the exact name of the...

My DH really just doesn't "get" working out to tapes. He does go to the Y and do some lifting but recently he has joined a taekwondo class, and I am so happy for him! he is really into it, and goes three times a week. But he would never try cardio kicks! Christine

I would also like to see some intervals involving kickboxing on the step, I love the idea of mixing up the moves in the intervals, and I hope there will be more intervals that use the step rather than the floor. My downstairs neighbours hate Imax! I also prefer moves that are difficult to...

I don't mind if the workout is 60 minutes if there's LOTS of lfoorwork, and maybe more variety of floorwork. I'm glad there won't be abs but what about including just a little core work, pilates style (V-sits, teasers, etc.), which can sometimes cross over with floorwork...(I'm thinking of some...

I want to chime in for slower reps: 2 up, 2 down. I don't see how we could get a decent upper body workout with slow reps and rests, and ab/core work, in 45 minutes so I urge you to go for the 60 minutes and give us a really thorough one! Christine

Another vote for circuit-with some new moves, some combos we haven't seen, like Kisuzu said, maybe some pushup variations, and I would love to see more CTX style core work. When can we preorder???!!!

Hi Jen, I was really successful using ediets, I went from 135 to 105 in about 7 months, then went on their maintenance program for another 6 months. I found it good in that I knew what I could eat every day, and I could change to a different meal choice if I wanted, so I could always include...

There's an excellent book called Running for Women by Cheryl Kowalchik (sp?) who used to be an editor of runner's world. At the end of the book she really details different training regimes for 5K's, 10K's, marathon, and half marathons. I normally run outdoors but really want to get a...

I have to chime in and agree with Debra re: not wearing headphones when running outdoors. I prefer to be really aware of my environment when I'm running outside, and save the headphones for the treadmill. Another safety tip: it is better to plan your route so you can tell someone where you're...

I also notice I feel it more in my chest if I'm really mindful not to let my wrists collapse, and keep my knuckles pointing at the ceiling through the whole movement. Christine

RE: Yep! Me again! I have to agree with Patricia, the Beaches is also a really great area to visit, and there's really a beach! Just wanted to add: it's reasonably safe here. You could probably go for a run in the morning without worrying. Christine

I "started" with the firm and have recently graduated to Cathe and what I find is that cathe's workouts make way more sense to me, they are easier to rotate, and I have seen more dramatic strength results than with the firm. The firm, however, is pretty good for endurance. I did the firm 90...
