How I did it... I started consistently strength training this past July with MIS. I did a 12-week MIS rotation before moving on to the PS series. While I was still doing MIS and I could do all of the push ups from my knees, I would start the first set on my toes and do as many as I could that...

Less religion/better warm up The warm ups in the Live series are quite a bit better than in the studio version. They are still pretty quick. The warm up for AL2 could actually be part of the workout (its pretty intense for a warm up). I can't really remember on AL3, but I will do it in the...

My Plan of Attack! Like most of you, an early workout on Thursday will hopefully get my day off to a good start. I am going to run a 5K that morning. That will give me a little room for pumpkin pie!! When I get home from the race around 10 a.m., I am going to have a bowl of oatmeal or cream...

My thoughts I don't have much advice on the injury, except to give yourself plenty of time to recover in order to avoid the risk of re-injury. When you do return to activity, be sure to start slowly and work back up gradually. We purchased a Bowflex about a year and a half ago. It is a great...

Live tapes are much better than studio Hi Linda, I have tried Advanced Live 1,2, & 3. They are all three much better than the studio tapes. Among them, my preference is probably #2. I have already traded away #1. As far as the intensity level, I think they are quite a bit tougher than the...

Heading into the home stretch! Cathe, Thanks so much for the update. I certainly hope the remainder of your pregnancy will go smoothly for you. I really appreciate how intimately you are sharing your pregnancy experience with us. You have eased a number of my concerns for when I get...

Suggestions Although Cathe's tapes do have advanced choreography, they are not as "dancy" as some other advanced instructors. The tapes that have more basic/athletic style movements are Step Max, MIC, and Interval Max. All three are TOUGH workouts! The most complex choreography is probably...

Advice on StepWorks <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Oct-27-99 AT 03:18PM (EST)</font></center> You have gotten some great advice so far. StepWorks is my absolute favorite Cathe cardio tape, but I did almost all of her other tapes before tackling it and I know that is...

Great Profiles Everybody Hi Lynn, Susan and Myra! Thanks for satisfying my nosy side! It is nice to get to know a little bit about all of you! Susan, you make me homesick! I miss Indiana a lot! Myra, Great profile--no you didn't go overboard. I workout more for the emotional benefits...

SNM--Please respond! I have the same problem as Lynn. Lots of times when I click on the info button, I get the same thing--"No such user profile"

Modify! Myra, I think everybody here will agree--modify as necessary. Do what you can and gradually increase your intensity as your ability improves. MIC is TOUGH! I have done all of Cathe's other tapes (except IMax) all the way through and have never even attempted to do MIC all the way...

I just wanted to remind everybody about the Info feature that is available at this Forum. I just love this feature, but it seems that very few people have used it. If you don't know what it is, look at the top of your page where all of the other buttons are. There is one called "Info". If...

Check out Title 9 Angie: You might want to check out a Title 9 Sports catalog. They give the absolute best descriptions of several different styles of sports bras. They also rate them and indicate what size they recommend a particular style to. They have a web site, but I don't remember the...

So exciting! Cathe, Thanks for letting all of us share your pregnancy with you! It is terribly exciting. I only wish I could be on the fall trip to meet you during this wonderful time. Keep the updates coming, Tina

You are inspiring!!! I wanted to post over at VF, but though it was off topic and I didn't want to change the reason for the initial message. I am truly inspired by those of you who are 50 and still exercising. I am 27 and truly hope that I have instilled fitness as a life-long habit. It is...

WOW! As I wipe away my own tears, I have to tell you that I had my own goose bumps while reading your post. Of course, I also have this mental image of your husband and his jubilant antics. Thank You so much, Cathe for sharing your pregnancy with us. I am in the process of trying to get...
