    Favorite/least favorite Cathe cardio moves

    Richochets and Power 15's. I can stand Power 3, maybe 7, but 15, forget it. And Richocets, if not done properly will injure your knee. I have a girlfriend who did one of these moves on a Cathe DVD and did just that, and she was on carpet. So, I do not advise doing this step, UNLESS you have...

    do all men cheat? warning, kind of explicit

    Amy, this is a hard question to answer. Because it depends on the situation, one has been through, etc. Do all men cheat? That is a hard question to answer. I think that men and women, both, cheat. I have seen the other side of the coin, where the woman was all about dating and doing it...

    How Many Cathe Workouts do you Own?

    All of them on DVD, except Ab Hits. And gave the beginner/intermediate DVD's to my sister. Now she is incorporating Cathe in her workouts and looking to add on. Yes, she pre-ordered. Chi

    Cardio recommendations? (Cathe or non-Cathe)

    Second recommendation for P90X Plyo DVD, excellent. Kimberly Spreen Cardio Camp, Kelly Coffey Meyers: Shape of Things to Come and Ready, Step, Go; Janis Saffell Hardcore Kickbox Circuit; Gin Miller's Intense Moves; Keli Roberts' Step it Strong. These are pretty straight forward with...

    So who watched Spike Lee's HBO special?

    Spike Lee did a good job and it was the individual stories that will stay with me. It is just a sad shame, that we live in a country that is so plentiful, that we could not get down there sooner to quash much chaos and save mores lives. Katrina will be looked upon as the greatest American...

    Hitting a brick wall!!!

    I think you are concentrating so hard on what you are eating that I believe it may not be enough. Also, have you tried to step away from the Cathe workouts and incorporate someone else? I have seen dramatic results doing Jari Love S/L, twice a week and RTTC once a week. I also, spin 4x's a...

    Lower Body Workouts! So great, but such dread!

    I don't like lower body work, period, but I have really seen myself lean out doing Jari Love's Slim and Lean and Ripped to the Core. I do S&L twice a week and RTTC once a week. I have been on this rotation with spinning and have seen dramatic results in the lower area. Ahhh, the love of...

    Question about High Step at Wal-Mart.com

    My sister got her original step from craigslist.org Click on your city and search for step under sporting goods. She only paid 10.00 for it.

    Mindy Mylrea's All About Abs anyone?

    Mindy uses a 4 lb medicine ball. I like the DVD, why? Because it is different and it challenges you. It does work more on the core, which is what you want to work on anyway. It is a workout that is not laden with the traditional crunches, etc., which after a while is a bore and...

    BodyMax 2 - complex choreography?

    Julia, Getting through the blasts is one-blast-at-a-time. This is a cardio interval workout and you are blasting through your anaerobic threshold. Stating this, what helped me is that I have a spinning bike and I workout with the spinnerval DVD's and iCycle by iTrain. It helps in...

    BodyMax 2 - complex choreography?

    Cathe's choreography is pretty easy to grasp, compared to Christi Taylor, Patrick Goudreau, Seasun Ziegler. Now those ppl are LADEN with choreography. Once you get them, their workouts are FUN!!! And IMAX2 is pretty straight forward, the basic routine is done six times before the blast. If...

    L(M)eaner Legs

    I think her PLB is tougher that Leaner Legs. Leaner Legs will do just that, but I concur with you Kathryn, it is not any tougher than GSL and I love that workout.

    Question for people with multiple dogs

    We have two dogs. At first they butted heads, but now they are just like brothers. They look out for each other and if I ask where is one, the other actually goes and get the other!!! It was trying at first, but now I look at it and I could never be without two dogs.

    Why is this considered o.k.??

    I totally agree with Melissa. People just take EVERYTHING for granted. People talk on the cellphones in church, the movies, restaurants, libraries, with no hesitation, like it is OK. Manners in America are drastically on the decline. It is just not OK for any of the above, nor OK for the...

    Question for P90X users

    I agree with all about Plyo X. The one reason I like this workout is that it INSTRUCT you on proper form on Plyometrics. Many end up hurting themselves, and yes Cathe is a blast, but she is not doing this for 60 minutes either. This workout is intense and I noticed firmness in my whole lower...

    New workout premixes concern....

    Jilly: I agree with what you wrote. I think the HC Series premixes was an "after thought" and not in the initial conception of the series. Remember, Cathe even "speculated" that this option was not going to be available, due to the length of the series 11 DVD's total, if you got the...

    Cathe- question about equiptment

    You can hold the dumbells at your side, one in each hand for squats or lunges. For the wide squats, you can hold one dumbell in your hand, placed between your legs and squat. She does it in MM and I believe GS Legs, also in SH Legs. You can get the same effect, but you may have to decrease in...

    New workout premixes concern....

    Acatalina, I understand what you are saying, but when you are spending 24 bucks on up on a DVD, and Cathe's are the most expensive out there on the market, you expect any quirks to be adddressed. If we are used to pre-Hardcore quality in premixes, i.e. Intensity Series, why should we just...

    Cathe- question about equiptment

    Not Cathe, but dumbells will work until you get a barbell. In some exercises I use the dumbells exclusively, because I don't feel like going back and forth between the two. I believe Cathe uses the Troy Bar. This is the barbell set I have, you can get the light set for 49.95. The poundage...

    Yates woman got off

    Of course the husband should be held accountable. He KNEW and was TOLD after baby #4, what would happen for another child. And how could they live in such conditions for so long. Obviously, it was about monies, because he said on Larry King he spent 110K on Andrea's defense. Sorry, but he is...
