Oh, I know what you're talking about now Cathe is saying, "pas de bourre." It's taken from ballet. Nancy, it's kind of like a pony in a way -- the counts of the move are similar. Kristin

Pushing technique <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Apr-30-00 AT 06:11PM (EST)</font></center> I'm a nurse and a childbirth educator, and I just wanted to let you know that not all educators teach "purple pushing." We actually discourage it. We've been teaching exhale...

Me too, Erin! Step Fit, without a doubt! I just love those V-ups, the flying angels, and yes, even (especially) the macarena cooldown. And the stretch at the end is the best! Weird as it may sound, I will always have fond memories of this tape since this is the one I was doing, for the first...

You are NOT alone! And thanks to you, Kimberly, I have a little bit more of a video budget now that I have TBSM (thanks for the trade )! Now my only problem is whether to preorder the VHS or the DVD. Since we don't have a DVD player...yet...you can bet I'll be checking the Sunday paper for...

Yes, above all, don't nag! :-) But a little encouragement here and there might just help! My husband played tennis and soccer in high school and was also on the track team and a swim team (not all at the same time). So, he did know what being fit was like. I'm not sure he ever really...

Strength tapes Hi! I really think you can't go wrong with any of Cathe's strength tapes. Actually, you can get a great volume discount if you get MIS and all of the PS tapes! MIS is a great total body workout that lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes total. It hits all of the major muscle groups...

I know what you mean, Jessica! While nothing can beat the energy of a GREAT live class, doing Cathe step videos at home does spoil you for other instructors! Isn't it great that we can get a fantastic fun, challenging workout in our own living rooms! Kristin

I think "groan" is an accurate description! LOL! Hi Lora, Because that's what that pain makes you do! I know exactly what you're talking about. I had that same exact pain last summer when I added running to my fitness program. My right hip flexor would get REALLY tight when I ran, but I...

That's great! My oldest (now 6) is a boy, and isn't it amazing how much you can feel for that little guy?! There really is something about a little boy that is just so special. Congratulations! Kristin

Congratulations, Mandy! Little boys are the best (but then, little girls are, too)! Congratulations! Kristin

That is too funny!!! Those boys! Full of mischief, but always seem to make themselves look adorable! Kristin

It's a different kind of "challenging" GWW definitely focuses on endurance. There are some combo upper/lower body exercises at the beginning of the tape (upper body work with light weights combined with squats and lunges), but the tough part comes later. There's lots of floorwork, and even...

He's growing so fast! You both look wonderful (and Eric looks so relaxed)! Thanks for posting the update, with the beautiful picture, too! Kristin

Congratulations, Joyce! That's great news! Enjoy your little boy, and take LOTS of pictures! Kristin

What a wonderful story! You are such a strong woman. I am so touched by your story! Kristin

Is it possible--burning out on M&M's?!!!! This is really scaring me--after five days of pink M&M incentives (although when she's tired Caroline wants the white ones--she says they make her "feel better"--LOL--has she seen me taking my Advil during PMS days?!), my daughter is asking for a bowl...

Oh, don't get me started! :) GOOD pizza--you know, the kind that literally drips with oil! The genuine stuff that you can only really get in NYC. I miss it so much! I grew up with it, and haven't been able to even come close to it in Georgia. That's probably a good thing, because I'm sure...

Yes, you can You can buy them from 1-800-SAY-STEP, but they're about $35 for two (I think). The Step Co. also has a website, but I can't remember what it is right now (someone help me, please! ).If you have a Play It Again Sports in your area, you might check there. I got two perfectly good...

MIS with dumbbells Hi Chris, I haven't done the lower body part of MIS for awhile (I have an injury that's preventing me from doing standing leg work right now), but I'll try to remember. From what I remember, there are LOTS of killer squats, lunges, lunges off the step, plie squats, and...

Hi Chris! Cathe and her crew use a barbell in MIS, but you can easily modify most of the exercises with dumbbells. The ones you have should be fine. However, beware...you may find yourself liking MIS so much (for lots of us it's a love/hate relationship--LOL!) that you end up adding a barbell...
