I had some problems with LIC playing yesterday. This was new, had never happened before. The warm up got completely stuck between about 4-6 minutes in. I basically had to skip right past it. Then, in the first circuit segment, the blast section had about 1 minute where it was stuck and...

I was wrong about the time- it's 52 minutes. Sorry!

I think it was 62 minutes in length, according to the listing. I added LIC abs onto it and did that cooldown instead, so I don't think mine was exactly that length.

Maybe it's because the triceps work in BM2 is so intense? That is a killer tricep workout. I love it. If you can do double that, I am very impressed.

I definitely suggest using good weight lifting gloves. I find that helps me a lot. And I've had to replace them quite a bit, but the money is well spent. As an aside, I don't have hand ache from lifting weights, but I do have very sore hands- so much I can't complete the exercise- when we...

I did this premix this morning. It was fun and different. I was not too intimidated by the divebomber push ups, but those other push ups, where you pull your knee into your side as you go down to the floor are killer! The only complaint I had was the tricep dips on the stability ball- those...

I had the same problems with that premix. I think this may be one thing Cathe's staff will be fixing when we get the replacement DVDs.

Thanks for the info, Heidi. I actually read a good site the other night where I learned what you were talking about- that plantar fasciitis and heel spurs are one in the same. And the other stuff I read there was kind of scary; that it's a pretty chronic condition. I hope that I can get this...

Actually, I did notice that, too. I thought I was the only one. I think it's the music itself, not Cathe. I suspect it's the tempo of the music or something. I'm not really sure, though. Either way, like you said, it's just the beginning of the cardio portion and doesn't last long.

What are NAOT shoes? That's great news, rockerchick. I am glad your foot pain is resolving. I think I may have to wear shoes all the time, too. Did you get the Spenco arch supports I suggested or did you just use the walking/running insoles?

Thanks for the suggestion, Terri. My mom swears by Birkenstocks, too. I have more news from my podiatrist- I don't just have plantar fascittis, but heel spurs, too. He said I will have to get custom orthotics made and wear them in all my shoes. I am a bit discouraged lately, as I overdid...

Wow, you guys are truly a class act. I am so impressed with the customer service here. I can't imagine a better way of approaching this. My hats off to Cathe and all her crew. :) My question is this: What if my discs play all right, with only a small less than 2 second pause? Do you...

I did the Floorwork and Abs premix of Buts and Guts this morning. I was not that enthusiastic about the floorwork. I did like the stuff on the stability ball, particularly the bonus glute squeezes. I noticed several problems with the playing of the premix, i.e. several times an extra card...

Thanks for the links. I checked them out earlier, but these items are way too pricey for me. I think $50 for a sports top or pair of pants is ridiculous, no matter how comfortable they are.

Vickie, I've also been recently diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and have been trying to lay off high impact work. I was getting so bored with only low impact, though, that I went ahead and did all of BM2 on Sunday. I didn't do all the high impact moves, just some of them, but my feet are...

RE: Thanks, SNM. Does the chapter menu offer a way of stringing together segments then?

I also had trouble with my hands when doing the floor tricep dips. I honestly couldn't do them much at all due to the pain and discomfort it caused my wrists and hands. Is there some alternative we could use?
