    Issues with SB and C&W

    I did SB this morning, and for the second time in recent weeks, it got stuck around the 44:00 mark. This is right after we finished the first blast in the blast challenge and we are starting to review the earlier choreography again. I couldn't get it working, so I had to skip to blast #3 and...

    Moms-to-be: Week of April 8

    Hi all. I am sorry I haven't kept up with our threads for all the mommies-to-be. How is everyone doing? I am getting a bit bigger and really into my maternity clothes now. I am 20 weeks now, which I can't believe. The time is flying by! My 2nd child will be here soon. :) I have been...

    Step, Jump and Pump 2

    I vote for a second SJP style workout. I love that one. It's fun and the time flies by. The only thing I would change is make it a bit longer, for instance in the initial step segment. I love the combination of a good short, cardio workout first, then a hi-lo and weight circuit. I hope...

    Pregnancy modifications

    Thanks again, Diana. I am now clear on what you mean. I will try those out soon. By the way, I did the other exercises you mentioned this morning. I have always loved the wood chop while seated on the stability ball, and the side lying lift on the ball, but I had never done the lower ab...

    Pregnancy modifications

    Thanks so much for the clarification, Diana. I appreciate it. Would you mind also giving me more clarification on the oblique exercises you mentioned, particularly the side lying one you do on the floor and the diagonal wood chop on the ball? Thanks! And if I didn't say it last time...

    Can you still buy the original Cardio Kicks? How old is it?

    Re: Amy Bento

    Yes, I do think Collage has a satisfaction guarantee. But I still think I will pass on Amy's workouts. Too many mixed reviews here and in other places. Thanks to all who replied!

    Re: Amy Bento

    Thanks for all the input, ladies. I think I will pass on trying one of Amy's workouts for now. I checked out the previews on collage video's website and I didn't think she had good form, nor did she seem to cue very well. It's disappointing, because I really like kickboxing and hers seemed...

    Does anyone else do Low Max with a 6" step

    RE: Does anyone else do Low Max with a 6 Before I found out I was pregnant, I had recently worked up to doing at least part of Low Max on an 8" step. But now I am back to doing it on a 6" step and still think that is a great workout, especially considering how long Low Max is. I wouldn't...

    BodyMax2 Side Planks? Can u do them???

    That's a tough move, and if I have worked my arms especially hard during BM2, I find my arms shake as I try to do the move. I sometimes start chuckling and then totally lose my concentration. Hee. But yes, if you stick with it, you can get this move done. Just keep trying, and if you can...

    Turbo Jam vs. Cathe regarding kickboxing

    What is Turbo Jam like? What instructors are in those programs? I am not familiar with it. I agree that Janis Safell is fun and I enjoy her kickboxing workouts, particularly Kick It and Kickbox Express. But since I did Cathe's KPC, I find Janis' workouts pretty easy.

    Re: Amy Bento

    I am not sure if this is an appropriate question for a Cathe forum or not. (Can we talk about other instructors here?) But I was wondering if anyone here has done workouts by Amy Bento? If so, how does she compare to Cathe?

    Pregnancy modifications

    I asked this question on the Ask Cathe forum, but have yet to get a response from Cathe. So, I thought I would ask it here and see what my experienced friends would have to say. I am about 16 weeks pregnant, and know that I should not do abdominal exercises lying supine on the floor...

    Moms-to-be check in week of March 11

    Hi Lisa and Melainie :) I am glad to have some ladies to talk to on this thread. Lisa, to answer your questions, let me preface it by saying with my first pregnancy, I only made it to 31 weeks. My son was born prematurely and stayed in the NICU for 31 days. He is perfectly fine now, and 4...

    Moms-to-be check in week of March 11

    Hi all, I'm starting this check in a day early, I know, but oh well. We haven't had a check in thread in awhile and I want to know how everyone is doing. :) I am 16 weeks now, and starting to get a bit of a belly. It's very annoying right now, because none of my regular clothes fit, but...
