RE: Amy Bento - 1st time and didn't like it, anyone els... Okay hate is a strong word and I agree that was too harsh. I guess I have just become accustomed to things like cueing when necessary especially for more complicated and riskier moves as well as saftey cues. It is really not so much...

Hey Erin, I am so glad you put your 6 cents worth in! Although now my only problem is I have to wait till 2008!! I know that as you said it will be a great tool to motivate me and keep track of my workouts. And this new thing with her software sounds wicked cool. thanks agian nkuangel

RE: Amy Bento - 1st time and didn't like it, anyone els... I actually viewed her kickbox extreme that my friend had purchased and was shocked by the lack of cueing and her moves which many seemed to be very spastic and dangerous. For example the jump kick to the side which she doesn't call she...

Awesome thanks for that update although I know that that will not be soon enough. And also thanks to everyone else I cannot wait till 2008 to get the new calender. I know this sounds silly but I could just watch her workout videos like a movie and be just as thoroughly entertained if not more...

I know what you mean whenever I see those type of people I tell my fiance that I will never and I mean never let myself get like that. I cringe for the children who live like that because more likely than not food will always be a struggle for them and it turns into a vicious cycle of them...

Hey everyone, I have been looking for a nice but fairly inexpensive bar with plates as I am a college student who is also trying to save some money for a wedding. My fiance and I went to Dick's Sporting Goods today and I found a wonderful deal. It was a 100lb vinyl weight bar set that...

The wonderful thing about kickboxing is that once you do get the hang of the punches you feel so powerful and strong! I teach kickboxing at my school and at a gym by my house and find that for women it is especially hard to throw a punch and have it mean something. For instance instead of just...

Hello everyone, I have been looking at Cathe's calender and it looks awesome. I wish I could see more of it but from just the one picture I looks so motivating and with the stickers it seems like it would really help to keep me on track. I teach aerobics classes 4 to 5 days per week and...

I find that once you learn low max you can really kind of let go and have fun with the moves. The blasts are challenging and the step portion is a nice break. It is good for when you need a slow day but still want to work your legs. Now I love love love low impact circuit. The step segments are...

Hey all, Thanks everyone for sharing your opinoins. Cathe is really the only home video instructor I do. Mainly because I don't have the time for anyone else and haven't found anyone that I like as well as her. I also teach aerobics 4 days to 5 days per week which leaves little room for my...

Hi Nan The great thing about the stability ball is that you can control the intensity of the exercise. By controlling how far you roll out on the ball this will determine the difficulty of the exercise. Try rolling out to only about the top of your thigh and play with that position a little...

Hey all, Your opinions are greatly appreciated and I think after considering what you have written that it would be better for me to get the dvds seperatly. I already have lowmax and my friend and imax 3 so that will be good enough for now. Thanks! nkuangel

Well to make you feel better my friend and I were doing drill max together at her house and during the fast feet section where you move around the step there was slightly limited space around my step. She was more concerned with me and stopped paying attention and next thing I see was her...

Hey everyone, I have been recently researching other home video instructors and none of them even begin to stand up to not only the intensity but also the quality of Cathe's. I just got off the Amy Bento website and previewed some of her workouts. They were awful!!! You think Cathe's...

This may sound silly but something that could really help is a sweat band. My aunt who is an avid gardner has just gotten some sweat bands and according to her they have "changed her life". Of course this is an exaggeration but here in Kentucky we are having an incredible heat wave along with...

Dang I expected to get a quick response but that was lightnign quick. Thanks so much, I knew what I was thinking didn't sound right. You rock nkuangel

Hey all, They way I have read the blogs it sounds to me like there are going to be two DVD's with all of the workouts on them. So they will put all the workouts on one DVD and then all the premixes on another? Just wanted some clarification so if anybody knows or has an opinion it is...

I know this sounds really harsh but my friend and I were talking after watching Jari Love and I told my friend that Jari looked to me like someone who had an eating disorder and then decided to become fit. Even though her build is lean and muscular she is so skinny it looks unhealthy, at least...

We actually got "get ripped 1000" from a friend who said it was really hard and intense but like you we were neither breaking a sweat or impressed. I also used to do Tae-Bo and also thought it was quite challenging but now it just annoys me and it is way too easy. And I totally agree with you...

Hey there, The split stance is for comfort measures and although your weight should not be focused on one leg or the other but rather distrubuted equally this is not a big deal to be feeling it in one leg more than the other. I would guess that if you are feeling it in your back leg more then...
