Kathryn, don't laugh at my question, but following on from your comment about the effects of gravity on the face, have you ever tried facercise (eg Carol Maggio?). I've dabbled but never managed to do it regularly enough to know if it works. Just wondered (always like reading your posts!):-)

Maybe they mean the average person who lifts a few weights. I don't think the level of exercise that Cathe does is average, and I doubt very much whether she will ever be flabby.

Sounds like excellent news. I'll definitely be ordering the Winter series. Please can we have more solid step workouts? :-) :-)

^^^^^^^ Would love to go on the next Cathe road trip. <<<<<<< Is bored at work today and can't wait to go home and do a workout. vvvvvvv Is browsing the forums after looking to see if there was an announcement yet.

Cathe posted a rotation based on the basic step and body fusion DVDs. It is in the rotations forum, but I have pasted it here: June rotation double header: Hi Everyone! Sorry that I am having to post this so late. This month's rotation will feature a double header: A beg/int rotation and...

It depends on whether your legs feel challenged towards the end of each set. If you feel that you need more weight, you could try wearing a weighted vest. I haven't tried one, but have seen them advertised.

If it is a regular day per week, perhaps you could eat less the day before and the day after to even out the overall number of calories.

Thanks Cathe! You are up very early today! :-)

Hi Cathe and crowd! Are low-end squats equivalent to heavier full range squats in terms of gaining strength/muscle? Low enders obviously "feel" much harder, but I'd like to understand what is actually going on in the muscle in terms of the exercise being strength or endurance orientated. Does...

Missy, I know what you mean about the taste. If something has added sugar I really taste it now, and its not good!

Re the sugar thing, I notice that I have a lot more energy when I completely avoid sugar too. It has taken me months of going on and off sugar foods to get to a point where I don't crave it anymore. I feel so much better I don't think I'll ever go back. As well as more energy, I seem to need...

UKcathefan, why bump this (and many other threads) when Cathe has already answered??

There is a sissy squat type move in callanetics that does amazing things for the shape of my quads. It uses no weights and burns the thighs like no other exercise I've done. :-)

How about this for an intermediate level tank top shoulders/arms rotation using the new sculpting workout... Day 1: Total Body Sculpting plus Pure Strength Shoulders Day 2: Cardio Day 3: Total Body Sculpting plus Pure Strength Biceps Day 4: Cardio Day 5: Total Body Sculpting plus Pure...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the mix and match option is for people with pre-programmable (is that a word?!) DVD players, so that they can create their own workout with different sections of the workout in the order that they please. The chapters option allows you to start the workout at...

I really enjoyed Low Impact Step last night. The choreography was more complex than I expected, but explained well enough for a beginner to grow into. I would describe myself as intermediate when it comes to step choreography - with this tape, I had to concentrate to get it right first time but...

Some of the old ones are still my favourites. I would say: 1. Maximum Intensity Strength for solid total body weights 2. Pure Strength series for effective split weights 3. Interval Max-2 for step with intense blasts to increase cardio fitness 4. Kick Punch & Crunch for a different kind of...

Tuck jumps and flying (dying?) angels for me!:-)
