Mini, Have you tried to limit your range of motion? If you are more flexible in your hamstrings than in your lower back you could be causing hyperextension in your lower back. Also, have you tried a tried a romanian deadlift? Deadlift vs. romanian deadlift Good Luck, Denny R

Mini, Thanks for the encouraging words. Are you working towards making your darling daughter a future Cathlete? You are never to young to start::D Cathe beginner Denny R

I concur with adding a timer counter on the workout screen. I love timers, especially in cardio workouts where you need to rev up the intensity at the last minute. I know some people don't like timers because they claim that the workout feels like it takes longer because of the "watching...

Thanks for the heads up-I too can't knead my knees anymore and need to be careful. I just ordered the Classic Volume as I was looking for a lower impact, moderate choreographed step workout. But now I wanna get the lace shorts some of the workout crew is wearing:D

Tabata is a broad term for hi/low, intensity high/rest, fat burning cardio workouts. Cathe was probably doing these type of workouts long before they became fashionable. Maybe a forum member with an extensive collection of Cathe's videos could guide you on which DVD would work.

Congratulations! Successfully completing Hiit 40/20 moves you into the category of a true Cathlete! My experience with Tabata has been some videos from youtube and this was enough to convince me to love this type of cardio workout. I'm perusing over Cathe's collection to see which Hiits are...

Mini, Love your threads. I would like to add any traveling plank/pushup to the hated list because I don't have the room or the joints for them. Denny R

Piloxing - YouTube The video looks like a fun cardio workout-and no shoes! Maybe Cathe could mix Turbo Barre with boxing moves. Holy imagination! Denny R

Cathe, I'm foremost trying to lose weight and have been wanting to try the "body pump" type workouts. I'm love the music in Power Hour and want to purchase the dvd but I see it is for an advanced level. If I use lighter weights than featured to bump the intensity lower could I use Power...

Well said. I think the disappointment has been with the expectation that Yoga Max was going to be a yoga strengthening routine when in reality it is a intermediate yoga stretching routine. But for stretching after an intense workout, I love using either of the Yogas in the LI series as they...

Mini, I'm still in weight reduction mode but when I get down to my normal weight I intend to concentrate on my UB buy doing of Cathe's rotation( Upper Body Bliss) . She does include leg work but it is not the main emphasis. When I'm finished with that I plan to go totally with Slow and...

Amen to that. I have been doing lower carb but binged on some sugar last night and this morning I felt like I gained 5 pds.

I think pear and hourglass are two different types. True pears have lower bust/chest measurements then their equivalent hip size while hourglasses have curvy busts and hips. I'm a true pear, 34 A bra cup but with full hips. I was told by a amateur body builder one time that to even out my...

I viewed the sample video at totalfitnessdvd.com and I liked how she modified the squat thrust using a step instead of the floor. I can't do a full floor squat thrust(burpee) yet so I'm going to try to incorporate this modification into the Cathe videos I have. Gin is a good instructor and...

For those that do Turbo Barre please describe what equipment you use and your suggestions. I haven't attempted this DVD yet because of lack of a chair. Thanks All and :D New Year! DennyR

Mini, I just opted to buy only the troy lite barbell since I already have some standard plates. Troy Lightweight Hollow Stardard Bar (TRB-54BH) I did buy one grip plate at Walmart to do grip plate triceps and front raises... Walmart.com: Gold's Gym Open Handle Hammertone...

Me too... I too struggle with chinups/pullups and gave up-I have notorious weak upper body strength. I'm thinking about getting the Turbo Tower just so I can get stronger by doing the horizontal pullups and then proceeding to full vertical ones. Looks like the tower is also good for...

I suffer from moderate sciatica from time to time and doing the exercises in the following videos have helped me: Yoga Therapy for Back Pain with Emily Kligerman Amazon.com: Viniyoga Therapy for the Low Back, Sacrum & Hips with Gary Kraftsow: Gary Kraftsow, Ian Albert and Mark Holmes...

Most aerobic barbell sets have a hollow bar and support only up to 40lbs. If you like to do weight training then you will most likely in the future need a barbell that can go above that range. What I would advise is get an aerobic set to start out with and meanwhile look for a good used weighted...

Don't buy a threaded one.. I have a 20 pd, 5 ft threaded Cap brand barbell and hate using it for barbell video workouts-it's too big for aerobic work and it's awkward to quickly change plates. I'm also looking at buying an aerobic type barbell set. I'm waiting for this to come back in...
