I second the idea of having a brief screen in the premixes that acts as both a pause (so you can catch your breathe :D ) and gives you information about the upcoming exercise and what equipment/weight you will need. I believe this was also done on the Pure Strength series and it made it so easy...

Consumer Reports reviewed this piece of equipment last year in their January issue. The biggest critcism they had was that the machine produced an unnatural gait that put a lot of stress and pressure on the knees and hips. They recommended passing on this and going with a good quality tread mill.

I suggest looking at the Ultimate Guide to Cathe thread which is pinned at the top of this page. It breaks down Cathe's workouts by category and ranks each workout in the category by an average score of perceived intensity. Since you've been jogging and have already worked on your fitness...

I'm not Cathe, and wanted to answer your questions as best I could. Not being Cathe, I can't answer whether or not she will continue to expand into more low impact workouts. I'll second your suggestion, though, and say that I, too, would love to see more. I think that it's perfectly okay...

Julie Arney also have Quick Fix Cardio Hip Hop. This DVD is broken down into 3 10 minute Hip Hop routines. If you do the whole thing all together, it's actually a pretty decent workout and you learn some fun dance moves. I am tremendously funk impaired and manage to feel somewhat hip when I...

Here are some other options! www.videofitness.com - this fitness website has an exchange only. In order to post your list, you have to become a member. You post your trade list and your wish list and hopefully people will email or PM you to set up a trade. If you're trading VHS, you might...

Do not get me started on the Velforme Sauna Belt! What a POS this item is. I think the creaters of this product should be shot! While the claim that you can burn more calories wearing this stupid belt than you can with proper diet and exercise is sheer fallicy, what bothers me is that...

I did some checking around and it seems like all the steps have a weight limit of 200 lbs. However, I think that this number is put on for liability reasons. Like the company wants to avoid any possibility of litigation by putting a lower weight than the equipment can actually handle. I'm very...

When I preordered, I became an investor in Cathe's latest venture, these DVD's. And I feel confident in saying 'investor' as it was my money and others that have allowed her to finance this venture without putting as much of her own capital into the process. So as an investor, I think I am...

Hi Jennifer, I've included the link to the Ultimate Guide to Cathe Workouts below. This list ranks all of Cathe's workouts from easiest to hardest. Hopefully, you can make some decisions on what to purchase/try based on the list...

Looks like a very thorough and well thought out rotation. And no, I don't think using the GS workouts for a month is too long. You should notice some definite changes in your muscle tone and definition in that time. And like you said, if you are getting bored or burning out, you have some...

DUH!!!! I'd be nice if I mention which workouts! The two timesaver workouts from both of the Gym Style Upper Body workouts are what I was refering to. If you combine them together, eliminating the cooldown from the first one and the warm up from the second one, it clocks in at just over an...

I'd say the closest to CTX upper body is to combine the two timesaver workouts from the upper body tapes into one workout. I've done this before and it clocks in a just over 60 minutes. A second option would be to do upper body only premixes from either Supersets or Push Pull. Or combined...

Check out my response on the following thread for a pretty detailed break down of the differences between High Step Challenge and High Step Advanced Training... http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=3&topic_id=50918&mesg_id=50918&page= High Step Circuit (the beg/int...

IMO, the best series to get is the Intensity series. I think it's been Cathe's best series to date (and I have all of them). Pyramid Upper and Lower Body are great weight workouts with great premixes if you have time crunched days! Very comprehensive! Muscle Endurance (a total body...

While the basic set up of the workouts is the same (short cardio segment, lower body segment, upper body segment), I find there are quite a few differenes in the workouts. First, I think the cardio segments in High Step Advanced are more consistent than in High Step Challenge. The first...

Hi Erica, I had arthroscopic surgery on both my knees about 7 years ago. Keeping in mind that your results my vary, here's a bit about my experience and recovery. After each surgery, my knees were really swollen and bruised. My surgeon had me wear this device which was both a compression...

I found that on me they ran small. I usually wear an 8 in fitness shoes, and had to go up to an 8.5 in the Rykas.

Pure Strength is closer to how you would lift weights in a gym. It does not utitlize the pyramid system (like PLB/PUB. You might have a first set as a 'warm up' with a lighter weight, then you switch to a heavier weight and do 2-3 more sets (each set has anywhere from 10-16 reps). You do...

Here are some suggestions. 1) The lower body section from MIS. This clocks in at around 22 minutes. 2) The add ons on the Basic Step+ DVD. Both the upper and lower body sections are 20 minutes long. Can be made pretty tough with heavier weights and/or a higher resistance tubing. 3)...
