Hi Sarah, I often use PowerCircuit prior to another leg workout. For instance, If I'm going to do S&H Legs or PS-L&A, but also plan a cardio that day, I'll do PowerCircuit as a cardio and pre-exhaust leg workout before S&H Legs or PS-Legs. I've also used it prior to a full body workout with...

Great story Texasmom. :) You hit the nail on the head with your remark about how Cathe makes you feel you can do anything with her encouraging way of teaching. At times I'd be previewing a new Cathe workout and thinking, "there's no flippin way I can do that!", sure enough as soon as I'm...

No, the music in M3 is different. Donna Fitness~ It's a journey, not a race!

Katie............ Hi Katie, I measure myself, hubby is way too much of a clown for me to have him measure me! :) I have good weeks and bad weeks with measuring, sometimes I get it right, other times I have to measure several times. Kind of like the scale, I've been known to get 5 different...

I have all 3 PowerStrikes and IMO they are about as close to Cathe in intensity as I've found. Millenium 1 & 2 are more intense than Millenium 3, but all 3 are good workouts. They're low impact but high intensity. The drills are very basic, nothing dancy or hard to catch on to. Donna...

RE: Got It!! Hi Kimba, I think somewhere on the video tape itself I saw 1995. Cathe was amazing even then, have you done the floorwork yet? She barely winces the entire time, meanwhile I'm rolling around the floor like a wounded slug! Donna Fitness~ It's a journey, not a race!

Welcome to the check-in Tracy & Kim :) Huge losers this week! WOW! Congrats to everybody for their losses, especially Kelly with the 3#'s! :) It's TTOTM so I won't weight til at least Thursday, but I did measure and I'm down .5 on my waist (woo-hoooo!) and almost .5 on my hips, I'd have...

Hi Dawn, I did the workout on Saturday and yes I noticed the "excited whooping" in this one also! :) I made the mistake of using the same weights as Cathe, I should have gone a bit heavier. I was hesitant because it was high rep, so like Pyramid UB I thought I'd better stay light just in case...

Hi Kim, I started using Cathe when I still had 200lbs to lose so 60lbs will be a breeze! Clearly modification was my motto at 350lbs, but Cathe's workouts literally melted the fat. The intensity was still so high even with the modifications that her cardio was melting the pounds consistently...

That's great that your recovery went so well. I think we forget how beneficial exercise/fitness is to our overall health and well being until times like this. Glad you're back better than ever! Donna Fitness~ It's a journey, not a race!

60# is the max for me right now. I struggle getting it back over my head after the set, so I know my next step is either really increase my upper body strength or get a vest! Donna Fitness~ It's a journey, not a race!

Hi Lori, The step bench in PowerHour can be used as a step, the step portion (without any risers) is 5.5" so you can use it as a step as long as you don't mind it at that height. It would be too tall for step aerobics with risers though. I use mine as a step usually when trying out new...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONNA!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) 39 is a great age, I've been 39 for 4 whole months now, it's a breeze, 38 really prepares you for it!;-) Have a wonderful birthday, Donna

Hi Kelly............. Donna was ducking low! :( I didn't even measure this week! I've been eating like food is about to become outlawed in an hour! I am so bloated from salty crap it isn't even funny! I'm days away from TTOTM so you'd think I'd at least try to cut back the "salty pleasures" but...

I bet you thought you were going to slide by without anyone knowing huh? No chance! :) It's Sharon's 39th birthday today, so everyone, please wish Sharon (aka waterbabie) a Happy :) Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SHARON, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...

Dawn..... Absolutely! I'm looking forward to trying it out. :) And I'm such a bargain geek that I'm practically giddy at getting it just for the price alone! :) Donna Fitness~ It's a journey, not a race!

RE: Cathe's Fit & Firm at Overstock.com I picked this one up today too from overstock.com, shipping was just $1.40, so for $6.39 I've got a new Cathe on the way! :) I read the 2 reviews at VF and it sounds like a good workout to add to the collection. Donna Fitness~ It's a...

thanks Bobbi Thanks Bobbi, I always enjoy these sorts of posts because they help bring me back to where I want to be. Sometimes in such a "me first" world, it's easy to lose sight of how we should be living our lives. Donna Fitness~ It's a journey, not a race!

Hi Candy.......... Hi Candy, I'm still a 2 riser girl, that's a 6" step! I'm 5'4" and 6" works well for me. I feel challenged throughout the workout and it doesn't cause my knees any discomfort. I use 6" for all Cathe's workouts. The only time I use 8" is for 1 Gin Miller workout, her...

Yeah Deb! They'll do! Thanks Deb, I should have known you'd have a smilie to fit the occasion! :) Donna Fitness~ It's a journey, not a race!
