I did the upper body segment of KCM's Split DVD and enjoyed it. Moved at a brisk, but not too fast, pace, and I loved the exercises. Today, my back and biceps have some nice DOMS. My only druthers would be for Kelly to offer more form pointers. I look forward to exploring the rest of the KCM...

Unfortunately, it appears Asics has stopped making the Gel-Intensity model. Much to my chagrin. Because of the lack of lateral support, running shoes aren't appropriate for me, biomechanically, for HiiT, step, or kickboxing. I'll probably wear one of Asics' volleyball shoes when my supply of...

Maybe you're worried too much about the destination and forgetting to enjoy the journey? You might consider just enjoying yourself and the benefits you're experiencing (more energy, increased strength, etc.). Forget about the metrics---weighing and/or measuring yourself--and just have fun! I...

Thanks for posting. I'm definitely interested in the first, not sure about the second. I suppose I could use my spin bike or pull out my rowing machine, but I really hope she does a PM that does not use cardio equipment. What would be great are a couple boxing PMs---shadow box PM w/heavy...

Lisa and Clare---Thanks, I ordered Cardio Blast plus the Back-focused workout and Body Shop. I'll check out the others you mentioned, as well. :) I watched the preview of LIFT yesterday and was a bit intimidated by the power lifting moves.

This morning, I added the shoulders-only premix of Muscle Definition to SH/shoulders and really felt it. :) I liked the different twist KCM put on the moves and it perfectly complimented the exercises Cathe included in SH. I also did the ab section on Muscle Definition---whew, loved that she...

I enjoy Hiit and Tabata workouts a lot and it's tempting to do them more than twice a week. However, Clare's posting here is a good reminder to exercise moderation (arrgh, sorry for the unintended pun) and do them no more than twice a week, as Cathe recommends. I've found that my results are...

My husband bought me the XT series for my birthday last Feb, but I didn't start using the disks until several months later. My Tabatacise disk was defective (froze) and Customer Service exchanged it for me with a replacement disk that works like a champ. Nancy in Customer Service told me that...

The first few times I did Low Max, I thought the choreography was complex and the entire workout was boring. Last week, I decided to give it another go, as I needed a break from impact. I was pleasantly surprised to have had no problems with the choreography and I actually enjoyed the combos.:)...

Thanks for the tip. In addition to the MMA Boxing punching segments, Rapid Fire #1 has a shadow box segment that would lend itself well to this, and Rapid Fire #4 has a Boxing no leg blast premix that would work, too. I usually wear #1lb weighted gloves for those but I admit to being one who...

The heavy bag segment in Rapid Fire 3 is good. Usually, I don't care for kicking the bag, but the way Susan incorporates kicks doesn't annoy me. I haven't tried the heavy bag bonus from Rapid Fire 1.

Clare---Thanks! I'll look into her older stepboxing workouts.

I pulled out this one yesterday and wondered why I haven't done it in years. What a great workout. Felt the burn, especially in the chest segment, and I really liked the shoulder segment. Have to admit that I forgot about all the leg presses but they were a great challenge! This one is...

Aww, thanks tlc93. I agree---you will not be disappointed w/Susan's workouts. I have to admit, too, that I really like the guy who is part of her crew! He can crescent kick like a champ.

I need to stop reading these threads. haha. Wanting to mix things up, I ordered some of Kelly's workouts (the ones recommended in this thread and the split-focused workout). ;) The step boxing one looked fun, too, but some of the reviews mentioned that the choreography was tough to get...

I posted a review of Susan's new release (Sweat). It's a great challenge, and she's an excellent instructor. Gives lots of form pointers.

They are on the XT DVDs. For example, the 100 rep scarecrows are on Disk #7 and Disk #5 has the 100 rep hip thrusters.

YES. I, too, have the WaveMaster model that Cathe uses, and I filled the base w/sand instead of water (if the base gets breached in some way, I won't have to clean up a flood).

I recently got some wraps that have padding (they are actually gloves, found them on Amazon)---I was getting bruised knuckles from wearing just my pink boxing gloves during the heavy bag bonuses. Since I don't care for the burpees w/the gloves on, I just do rapid fire high jabs on the bag! The...

My first Cathe was Mega Step Blast, which started my addiction. I purchased almost every release she put out since that one. :p Loved Lisa and Hope from the old days. Had an especially soft spot for Hope, particularly after she had to do the modifications in IMAX1. My first high step...
