Like Kathryn and Sheila have noted, it's so tempting sometimes to do a beloved video or style of exercising every day, but it's so dangerous. I try never to do stepping or kickboxing on consecutive days. And I don't like strength training the same body part two days in a row. Just too likely to...

Wow, I did it...just caved for a full-size step and the high step topper. I have this ancient Bodyshaper step that has served me very well for about 20 years, so I can use that if space is an issue...but the idea of using the full-size step for a weight bench (I'm short, but my current little...

They weren't even doing these hit things when I was born:) But on my 18th birthday it was Joy to the World by the Three Dog Night. I remember that group (and where they got that name from) and the song (it's not the same song as the Christmas carol, Joy to the World btw!). Ah, let me...

Nancy, I've been pretty impressed with the kids my girls grew up with. Many were very caring and compassionate individuals with no fear of hard work or responsibility. But they're all grown up and having kids of their own so... I've had one too many folks tell me so-and-so's children are so...

I did this one this evening. Have done it once before (I remembered Cathe laughing and mentioning having an out-of-body experience during the biceps curls and also telling someone she liked some song), but didn't remember what weights I'd used. Did alright selecting the weights, though I really...

I'd say your Viola is learning the joy of giving!!! (And btw, the best part of the Christmas gift giving for me is watching everyone opening their gifts and realizing I actually got just what they wanted and needed!...it's more fun that opening my own stuff and that's a lot of fun for this...

Madonna, believe me I know what you mean about helping others and watching THEM getting the credit and you nothing. In fact, it seems where I work, that poor performance is rewarded, esp. laziness and shoving work off on others, while good work is either ignored or punished! Go figure. Still...

Dianne, you sound like one of those "mean" moms...I think I was so-called a few times when my girls were younger. Now that they're older (28 and 26 and married, no children though...drats!), it's so nice being able to be not only Mom, but friend as well! All those years of just being "mom" do...

Oh, yes, these are great workouts!!! What I like about both: great music, high intensity work with low or no impact, as I get better with my various punches, I'm learning to better incorporate my core into them and that's got to be great!

Berry99, thanks so much for asking the question and starting this thread. Pullovers seem to do more for my back than the usual dumbell rows. The only thing I could think of was focusing on my lats while doing pullovers, but all the pointers offered will help. Thanks, everyone!

RE: SNM Okay, this makes the delay more understandable. It would make sense that Cathe and SNM and CCETV are all having to "invent the wheel" while producing this first batch of workouts. Hopefully they'll learn enough to not only make a superior product worth the wait, but also speed up the...

I hadn't decided what I was going to do...but I might print out this rotation and, as usual, modify it to suit MY schedule demands:)

I didn't see this as Honeybunch1 trying to speak for Cathe...in fact, it seemed to me she was trying to get us all to think for ourselves and maybe give Cathe a break...sounds like a nice idea to me. If she doesn't like it, I'm sure she'll let us know. Of course, the only rotation of Cathe's...

Wow, with all the rotations you've got here (and they're all great!) and some others popping up with Honeybunch's suggestion (nice idea!!!), I'm going to have to sit down and make a choice...thanks, Kathy!!! ETA: I am seriously considering doing CTX through December, though I might do some...
