Cathe, I just read your description of the new workouts and am really looking forward to them. However, I was wondering what you mean by "bootcamp cardio"? Do you mean cardio with lots of jumping jacks, squat thrusts and other similar moves? Just trying to get a feel for exactly what you mean.

This is a great series, and it is not intermediate, by a long shot. The upper, lower and core work in this series is just terrific, and doesn't require a lot of equipment.

I'm not Cathe, but ne tip is to keep your tongue on the roof of your mouth when doing ab work. This seems to help with neck tension. Also, roll up a hand towel and use it for support when you need it. Make a very conscious effort not to pull on your neck with your hands.

I'm not Cathe, but with all the premixes you could do a circuit workout with the emphasis on the upper body one day and the lower body the next.

Thanks so much DeannaMax for that very complete listing.

You certainly have more stamina than I do, but I may try to do an abbreviated form of both of them together. I don't care for all the leg presses and static lunges in PLB so this would be a good combo for me.

You can do CTX cardio and add one muscle group of S & H per day instead of the CTX weight work. I do think the CTX ab work is excellent so don't forget your abs. I did a CTX rotation last year and lost weight with it. I only worked out five days a week and didn't use Leaner Legs.

I would recommend Muscle Max to start with because you can buy it on a separate dvd.

How about the "Recovery Series" since Cathe made it after recovering from knee surgery.

I think the chair pose in yoga sounds like a good idea. You could really substitute any lower body exercise that you like to do. One thing that I do is open a door, put my hands on the door knob on each side of the door, lean back and do squats. This gives you more of a "hack' squat position. I...

Did you do the entire Butts and Guts or just a portion of it? Did you do the entire pyramid in PUB?

I haven't done this one yet. Now you're making me nervous. LOL! Love LIC. I'm so glad I purchased this set.

You can always just start doing the workout and see how far you can go. Once you get tired, click to the cooldown. That's the way I've learned to complete a lot of workouts.

I generally like to separate cardio and weights, but I do use circuits when I miss a workout. That way I can get the benefits of both and keep to my schedule. Also these workouts have pre-mixes so you can separate the weights and cardio if you want.

I don't like lying down to do triceps extensions in the middle of LIC. My heart rate drops too much. I've been doing standing French presses instead. I don't mind the push-ups because you just lean forward and don't actually lie down, but I don't like the idea of lying down on my back, and then...

What would be a good upper body workout to alternate with B & G? Any suggestions?

Sometimes chewing a Tums or Rolaid before you work out is helpful.

I also wanted to thank you for the gift. It was a very pleasant surprise. I hope you do more of these compilation dvds in the future. Don't worry, I won't expect them to be free.

RE: I like it very much. Will probably do first section of KP&C on day 2, but I like the idea of having an open day to do what you want. So many times on rotations, you need a change to break things up.

I love it too. It was such a thoughtful thing to do. Nothing makes us happier than another dvd.
