    Transition from Bent Knee to Full Push Ups

    Sometimes using another surface like a coffee table or arm of a couch can help transition from pushups on the knees to pushups on the toes. Having that 45 degree or more angle helps strengthen the arms without putting the pressure on them. You do them on your toes as you would the "big boy"...

    Other workouts similar to muscle max?

    I wanted to find out which of Cathe's other workouts are similar in working the muscles and in intensity to muscle max. This workout seems to work well for me at this time but I wanted to stick some variety into my workout rotation as well. Charleen

    A Beginner's Guide to the Steps and Moves!

    I would like to see something like this added to a DVD like a Chapter you can play but don't have to play to do the workout. I know for myself it would help for a breakdown of the different steps in slow motion and what each step is called so that I can "get it". I have several DVDs I don't do...

    OT/ technically speaking is Fri. a Federal Holiday

    President Bush was designated Friday to be a Federal holiday for that day. I am a federal employee and we were informed about it last Wednesday in an email that Friday June 11th would be a holiday- no real notice at all. She should have used better judgement then to give you no notice at all...

    My cancer ruined my 2 years of hard work

    Ditto to what everyone else has said. My thoughts and Prayers are with you. Just take things one day at a time. Chemotherapy unfortunately has an effect on all the cells of your body not just the cancerous ones and therefore causes fatigue along with generally not feeling well, lack of...

    Why is it that heavier people are so critical????

    I don't think you can generalize about heavy people being critical. There are just rude people out there no matter what their size. There are people out there who see you doing the things to be healthy and fit and feel bad because they are not and at this point doing anything to help their own...

    We're filming!

    This is so exciting. I would love to see on the beginner DVDs a section to teach how to do some of the Step moves - breaking down the moves to make them easier to learn (similar to the Wedding step tape but broken down even more than that) I think this would be good for the general strength...
