    Insanity/Asylum/Turbo fire

    I have Turbofire and the workouts are really fun and challenging. If you can do Cathe's workouts, you can definitely do these. The Turbofire workouts are intense and challenging, but not more intense than Cathe's. Even though the HIIT workouts in Turbofire are at a faster pace and challenging...

    Check in right here at 12:30 today

    I'm so excited about the possibility of a new heavy bag workout. I suggested this in the section on this forum where you give suggestions for new workouts. I love this workout. It's one of my favorites. I think I grinned through the whole workout the first time I did it. I was working hard, but...

    I feel spoiled by Cathe

    I agree that no one compares to Cathe. I workout 6 days/wk and most of those days I'm working out with Cathe (sometimes everyday). I like everything about her workouts: fun, variety, Cathe's personality (she politely kicks your butt), the crew, the set, the music, creativity, expertise, etc...

    Hiit 30/30: the easiest Hiit, but definitly not easy!!

    In my opinion, Pyramid is the easiest of the 3 HIITs even though Cathe and the girls say that 30/30 is. Pyramid is certainly not easy, but it's not as tough as 30/30 and 40/20 to me. When I do another cardio with 30/30 (usually intervals 1-5 or 6-10 of Imax 2 or Imax 3), I do the other cardio...

    Do you workout for more than an hour?

    My workouts average around 75 min/day, but some days it's less and some days it may be longer. On Saturdays, I may do two workouts because I have more time and I seem to be the most energetic on Sat. I workout 6 days/week, Mon-Sat. I rest on Sun. I've worked out like this for almost 2 yrs and I...

    Turbo Barre - chair or tower

    I use a chair and it works just fine. I plan to get the Turbo Tower, but until then, the chair is a good substitute for me.

    Best Workout for Your Body-Type (article)

    Really interesting article. I'm more of an apple, but still shapely. Not top heavy. When I gain wt, I gain all over, but when I lose wt, my midsection is the most stubborn area and the last area to shed the excess fat. I pretty much do all the things she suggests in the article. My body responds...

    Best DVDs for floor work?

    I plan to have foot surgery some time next year. I plan to do pilates and some boxing while seated on the stability ball during recovery.

    low impact series on off days

    Good question. I'd like to know that too.

    Optional Countdown Timer

    I think that would be a good idea too. When I was using my DVD player, I used the counter on there, but now I use my son's Xbox to play my workouts and the counter on there only stays up for a few seconds. Since I started using the Xbox, I've been thinking that it would be nice if there was a...

    Working Out While Ill/Sick

    I've done it before, but I did pilates because it's more gentle and on the pilates workout I did, it was all mat pilates so I laid down the whole workout. I knew I would've been able to do anything that required alot of standing or that was high intensity. Another time when I was sick, I did...

    Dance Step

    The choreo is challenging, but once you learn it, it's really alot of fun. I really like it.

    Holy Smokes!!!!!! (Harcore Extreme)

    I agree. I love a good high impact, high intensity, high energy sweat-fest. The tougher, the better. LIS is great because I like variety and I like to vary the level of impact of my workouts since I workout so frequently, but high impact is always my favorite. I really like all 3 workouts on...

    Healthy weight range

    I agree. Actual body composition is a much better indicator of a healthy body than BMI and IBW.
