I *love* hot yoga. :D What kind did you do (I think there are several types)? I've been doing Bikram yoga off and on for a few months now. Honestly, I would LOVE to do it a few times a week at least, but the class is 1 1/2 hours, and with a full course load + job that barely pays but takes up...

Yeah, I'm reconciled to the notion that 2 hour sessions aren't in the books, at least not on weekdays...though I should clarify that a 2 hr workout for me isn't necessarily 2 hrs of high intensity cardio or anything...weightlifting, yoga, pilates make their way in too. :P My day starts at 9...

This feels like one of the most basic, fundamental things that I imagine any advanced exerciser (or certainly any Cathe enthusiast!) has down....and even though I've been a more or less regular exerciser for years, I realized that I'm no longer there...and I was wondering what you all do to...

I agree, and would love a few dvds that have longer cardio routines. I'm thinking along the lines of Imax 3 or Low Max (ok, more Low Max b/c it's low impact! :p ) or perhaps something even longer. I think my absolute fav though is Body Max 2 b/c it's 90 min and packs it ALL in. So I wouldn't say...

A Chicago road trip? After I move from the midwest?? :mad: Can you come to California pleeeease? Pretty please? :D

Aaah, and now I *really* want an answer, because I've been depending on pilates more as of late, as I recently fractured one of my toes and can't do a lot of the standing leg work that puts pressure on the toes.

Hi Cathe! I had a question about weightlifting vs. other forms of toning like pilates and dance-inspired conditioning. Do you find that they're compatible with one another, considering their differences with how they work? For example, weightlifting tears the muscle tissues and rebuilds them...

I would definitely buy something in the low impact range if available. I do love Low Impact Circuit for that reason - my joints sometimes need a break from all the jumping around :) And yes - music with lyrics!! I LOVED the songs on this dvd.

I second that! An intense upper body workout that could maybe run 40-50 minutes would be SUPER. :D

I bought this one pretty recently too, and yeah, it's quite intense - love it! I was so pleased that I couldn't even complete the two cardio portions the first couple gos - it gave me something to work up to!

I love B&G :) My favorite things about it: it's super challenging and very thorough; the abs portion b/c those planks at the end never seem to get any easier!; the fact that there's a mix of standing work and floor work. Favorite moves: low pulse lunges and fire walkers!! I also like the lunges...

Currently reading "Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse", "Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales", and "Folk Wisdom of Mexico: Proverbios y Dichos Mexicanos". I'm not disciplined enough to stick to one book. :D

Re: drama and such: Yikes! I had NO idea that this sort of...banter...was going on. Now, I know what I do is nowhere near the scale of what Cathe does...but as a fitness instructor I know it's absolutely impossible to please everyone. In my own experience teaching classes - in a given frame...
