    Substitute for Circuit Max?

    How about the Gauntlet? You could modify the length and/or intensity by doing fewer cycles or by cutting some of the extra weights work or extra cardio.

    Body Blast rotation please

    I'm am hoping that Cathe posts her December rotation shortly and that it at least uses the BB workouts in the last half. I think that's an entirely realistic expectation. Alternatively, if it's ALL BB, then I'm sure I can sub something in the days between 12/1 and when I finally get my dvd's.

    Cathe: Shoe Recommendations and ? About EZ Curl Bar

    I have been wondering the same thing lately. My mid-height aerobic Ryka's (Re-Evolutions, which were great!!) are almost shot and while I like the lateral stability they offer, especially when doing step, I don't think they have adequate toe box cushioning for high impact moves. Sooo, I have...

    Beginner

    I think CTX 10-10-10 (or any of the CTX cardio/weights workouts) is a great intro to Cathe. You get a very doable cross-section of her hi-lo, step, kickboxing and weights work. And they are in shorter segments so the workout goes faster. I know when I was a beginner, I was a clock watcher...

    Which Cathe workout for newbie?

    I think it's Leaner Legs and Power Circuit that you need to separate by at least a day because of the leg work in Power Circuit. Other than that I don't think the order matters. I would caution you to be careful with the impact if you plan on doing CTX for longer than a week. It's kind of...

    clothes in new videos

    Pitbull clothing I was very unhappy with my purchases of Pitbull clothing a while back. I felt they were very cheaply made and as stated already, not very supportive. Also I hated the sizing--the tops ran largish (because the straps way too long) the bottoms smallish, in my opinion anyway...

    BODY BLAST

    I'm sure it's probably someone who saw a good opportunity do a service / make a buck. They probably purchased multiple sets, knowing there would always be the buyer who didn't preorder but who HAD to have them and would pay a premium for them.

    OCTOBER ROTATION...4 day split

    OK, I have a bone to pick with Cathe--she nearly killed me on Wednesday of Week 3. Following PLB standing work with Body Max, sans upper body work, is cruel and unusual punishment! Yee-gads, woman!

    cardio kicks vx. Tae Bo

    RE: cardio kicks vs. Tae Bo Cathe's CArdio Kicks is definitely higher intensity and impact than Tae Bo. I'd say Cathe's is cardio that is stylized like kickboxing whereas Tae Bo is kickboxing stylized to be a cardio workout. One that I find blends the cardio intensity with good kickboxing...

    Rotations

    Heather, I believe Cathe started these with the April rotation. If you can't find em all here, you can go to www.fitnessvideofanatics.com and do a search for Cathe rotations. >Cathe, > > Have you only started posting these since June, or have >I missed Jan-May? Thanks > > :-)

    Comments/Suggestions about Powerstrike Tapes...

    Count me as another one less than thrilled with Powerstrike. I don't care much for Ilaria, though she is very buff and talented. I do like Patricia but together with Ilaria the on camera rapport is awkward, in my opinion. #1 is OK, #2 has a very odd rhythm to it which I don't like and #3 is...

    How tall is Cathe?

    Wow, Cathe, you remind me so much of my little sister. She is exactly your height and was born in the same year as you, just a couple of months after. Don't forget your calcium supplements to nip that shrinkage in the bud ;) ; I know I don't have to worry about you getting your...

    DVD "waiters" unite! (untie?)

    I just recently replaced most of my Cathe vhs' with dvd's so I haven't had too much difficulties with the wait. Also for cardio, I have been taking a break from Cathe, doing my new Tae Bo Ultimate videos I got for Christmas. When my new Cathe dvd's arrive, I will be chomping at the bit to not...

    selling videos

    On the Ya Ya forum, you simply specify how you would like to be paid. Some people do barter swaps, other outright sell for cash in the form of personal checks (usually require time to clear), money order or PayPal. Some include the shipping in the price, others tell how much extra it will be...

    Intensity Series Just Arrived!!!!!!!!!

    Now you gotta hand it to Cathe and her company--getting the vhs' in your hands a mere 2 days after Christmas is phenominal. {{{{{{clap, clap, clap}}}}} I ordered the dvd's so I am very excited to hear from all you vhs'ers as to how great these are while I wait a bit longer!

    powerstrike advice?

    I would say Powerstrikes are more like Tae Bo, workout-wise. I only have Millenium #1 but have all the advanced Tae Bo's made. Both of these series are lower impact than Cathe, IMHO, and are more Tae Kwon Do oriented. Instructor-wise, they are all very different. Billy is, well, Billy. He's...

    Gotta have CTX and Circuit Max, hands down.

    Step & Strength Video

    Now how in the world do you suppose Bodymax under the title Step and Strength end up in her Step box? Do you suppose someone previously purchased the step, put in a bootleg copy of Bodymax and kept the All Step tape it came with?

    selling videos

    I just went dvd and posted all my duplicate Cathe vhs' on the ya ya board. At first I just sold a couple and then nothing for weeks. Then, all of a sudden, right at Christmas, I sold all of them except one. The secondary market is very healthy for Cathe's but be patient. Looks like you are...

    Cathe how do I get the look of a dancer?

    Not trying to be a smarta$$ either, but aren't a lot of ballerinas really just anorexic?
