I'm also bummed that the Gym-Style workouts won't be on one DVD. The slight pauses don't bother me at all, and I use premixes a lot. Would you consider the above idea about putting it to a vote? -Kate

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! The variety in this series is astounding! How great of you and the rest of SNM to be so very responsive to your loyal followers. Okay, now I've gotta go workout if I'm gonna be even close to ready for this... :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) -Kate

Me too!!!:-) :-) :-)

RE: I really like this idea. My knees are doing fine so far, but why not include a workout like this in the next series as a change of pace? A lot of people were disappointed to hear that Cathe would be filming some beginner/intermediate workouts, but I'm now hearing a lot of buzz from...

Wow! I don't mean to hijack this thread or anything, but Venus, I just looked at your weightloss website, and what an inspiration! You look awesome, and I'm totally impressed. Thanks for telling your story; it's great to see other young women who have made health and fitness their top...

RE: Arrgh! How is this possible? Point well taken, B. I've actually adored my share of cheesy instructors too, especially as a beginner, so I do understand Gilad's appeal. Feeling understood and encouraged is so important when starting a fitness program, and some "corny" instructors (Richard...

RE: Arrgh! How is this possible? Hah! It's all starting to make sense...;) -Kate

Arrgh! How is this possible? How can Gilad possibly be beating Cathe? No offense to any of his fans, and he seems like a really nice and knowledgeable person, but he's such a cheese-ball! (I say that lovingly:)) Let's face it, he's not in Cathe's league, so get out the vote, people! :7

Hey Danna, Not Cathe, but I too have very flat feet, and while I certainly don't have all the answers (I'd love to hear from other readers or Cathe) I have found a few things that help my arch pain. Number one is definitely finding good shoes. Unfortunately, I haven't found an...

Ooh, Gayle, no I haven't read any Sarah Vowell. I'll have to try it - thanks for the suggestion! - Kate

I recommend anything by David Sedaris ("Naked", "Me Talk Pretty One Day", "Holidays on Ice"). Most of his books are collections of essays, and some of them have made me about pee my panties from laughing so hard, I swear! ;-) -Kate

I also love Title 9's Frog Bra, but for a little less boob mashing, try Champion's underwire (Title 9 calls it "Underwire Sport Top"). I'm a 34D, and I think it provides a nice balance between shape and support. HTH -Kate

So true! I don't like it in any incarnation. -Kate

No waaay! I have trouble with anyone telling me the "one and only" interpretation of any religious history, including the story of Christ and the beginnings of Christianity. There are too many details that we just can't know for sure. The reports of an anti-semitic slant concern me, but I'm...

Hi Clare, Fractionated palm oil is palm oil that has been processed to concentrate particular "fractions" of fatty acids, the building blocks of all fats. The process increases the concentration of saturated fats, and makes the oil even worse for you. I think companies use it because it...

Body Glide, Body Glide, Body Glide! Body Glide is a total godsend. It works a million times better than powder or vaseline, and without all the goop. As mentioned above, it looks like stick deoderant, and applying a little to the upper arms or inner thighs will keep them from chafing during...

I do my weight work first for the exact same reason - I really prefer cardio. Reading over the previous posts, I guess the moral is that there's no one right way to do it, so make a schedule that works for you! -Kate

RE: Re-releasing older workouts on DVD with NEW premixe... Frances, this is an awesome idea! I'm in the same boat with some older workouts on video, but if the DVDs had premixes...:7 -Kate

I support this idea as well! I don't think I'm alone in that I must be very careful with heavy weight workouts because I bulk up so easily. I'll bet a large percentage of SNM's consumer population would welcome this type of DVD. :-) -Kate

This is a fabulous idea, and would definitely be a popular part of the next series. With my pure-step addiction, I must of course endorse "Step IMAX3" most strongly, but any or all of these workouts would be awesome! -Kate
