Is it possible to put the YouTube clip on the Cathe Web site? I'm unable to download flash player to watch it, but I've had no problems watching video clips on the Cathe Web site. Thanks! Dawn

Not Cathe here, but I did GS Legs the other day and the backs of my legs (hamstrings) are still sore! In GS Legs, Cathe does deadlifts for hamstrings, then moves to the floor with some hamstring moves with the ball. Boy, do these get you in the back of the legs. If you don't have GS Legs, you...

I tried watching it on YouTube, but YouTube requires flash player installed and I'm unable to do that on my computer. Is there any chance of the clip being placed on the Cathe Web site? Thanks and have a great day! Dawn

I originally found the VHS only on e-bay.

I think of Training and Challenge as endurance workouts. I'm moving fast through the circuits and breathing heavy. I do like the mini-cardio routines on the high step, too. These high step workouts are something a little different from regular step workouts. I like to mix em up, and the...

Mary, I started with the smaller step and Cathe's 30-minute Basic Step DVD that came with it. I used the smaller step for a long time on all my step workouts. Then a few months ago, I invested in the club-size step and love it. It sure makes the "over the step" horizontal move a lot...

I LOVE Cardio and Weights! I love the music, I love the step sections, and I even love the weights and abs (one of my favorite abs workouts). When I'm done, my whole body feels worked over. I personally think Cardio and Weights is underrated. It has a very high fun factor for me (I love the...

Jerry, Now that you have completed Legs and Glutes, try the Leg Press Blast (I think that's what it's called) premix. Wow! It's like a whole new workout. Have a great day, Dawn

I think of endurance workouts as more reps with lighter weights (Cross-Train Express, e.g.). And strength as less reps with heavier weights (Slow & Heavy obviously). I agree that everyone may feel workouts differently. In Muscle Endurance, I truly feel the endurance portion and feel like I'm...

I love the premixes, as they can help you learn the programs (e.g., I used the interval-only premix of Imax 3 before attempting the intervals with the blasts; this greatly helped my confidence in completing Imax 3), and I sometimes feel the premixes are like all new programs (e.g., Butts and...

As a beginner, I loved Cardio and Weights. The weights-only premix uses just dumbbells and was an intro to me of Cathe's strength workouts. I also like Circuit Max, which uses only dumbbells. Before I had a barbell, I used these workouts a lot. However, in both these workouts the cardio...

Body Max and Body Max 2 are separate workouts. If you found the intensity in Body Max tough, do not worry. I actually find the speed of everything too fast in Body Max without enough cool down. I think that was the style of workouts when it was created. I often wish she would just march for a...

There are too many great workouts to name here. :-) But one of my first DVDs was Cardio and Weights/Imax 2. I had so much fun with these. have a great day, Dawn

Not me . . . I want to try a weighted vest first. I think this will be a lot safer for me as I do most workouts at home by myself.

If not Pyramid Upper Body, you might look at Muscle Max, which is overall body strength. The arm segments and abs are very good. Have a great day! Dawn

I love Pyramid Upper Body (PUB) for pure upper body strength. The first time I did it, my biceps were so sore the next day, and I felt so powerful. :-) Have a great day! Dawn

Cardio Hits--Power Max, Step Fit, and Step Works--is not quite as old as the Classics, and these are tough workouts if you like pure step. Power Max is actually one of my all-time favorites, and Step Fit has a nice, long stretch. (Plus, I actually really like the 90s music in Power Max and Step...

Lisa, I just had to send a reply since your description of yourself sounded like me--I'm going on the August road trip, too. :-) My first road trip! I discovered Cathe about August last year (I happened to pick up Step Jam in the library) and got so hooked that I now own almost all of her...

Something I learned on this forum was to really push out my glutes when doing deadlifts. If you have Pure Strength Legs, Cathe does a very good demonstration of this. When I push out my rear, it puts the emphasis on my hamstrings rather than my back.

One thing I like to do is split up the workout (1) Standing work plus bonus abs (2) Floor work plus abs with ankle weights It's like having two separate DVDs, and this doesn't even include all the premixes! :-) Have a great day, Dawn
