    Are elliptical trainers or stationary bikes boring?

    I'm another Cardio Coach fan. I use my spin bike and Nordic Track with the CDs (I do walk/run intervals outdoors also). I use a heartrate monitor and it's like a game to reach the goals that Coach Sean sets. The best thing is the feeling after I'm finished - happy, energized and peaceful...

    Nerve Conduction Test: Is it worth it?

    I've never had a nerve conduction test so I can't comment but have you tried physical therapy to see if you improve? I was interested in your first post asking about thoracic outlet syndrome because I had similar symptoms but a doctor, physical therapist or chiropractor never said that...

    Gym Style vs. Pure Strength

    Hi, I like Cathe's Pure Strength series. It doesn't have the dread factor for me as the Gym Style workouts. I sold the Gym Style workouts but Pure Strength is a keeper.

    Cathe are total body workouts not effective?

    I know that you'd like Cathe to answer your question but she seems to be busy. Have you considered asking Paula Z? She's a certified trainer and is very thoughtful about answering questions. Her site is - http://www.exercisevideosreviews.com/ She has a free two-month subscription to her...

    Video Recommendation for Seniors (Male)?

    I like Karen Voight's Ease into Fitness. Karen designed the workout for beginners and seniors. It does use a lot of equipment though: a chair with no arms rests, a 2-3 lb. medicine ball, a resistance band and a pair of dumbbells. Karen uses leg weights also. The seniors shown with Karen do...

    Modification for Rear Delt Raises With Band

    I can relate. It's difficult & frustrating to start working out after an injury. Your PT might have suggestions. You might try a limited range of motion (stay out of the painful zone), use light weights or another substitute for rear delt flyes are rear delt rows. The PT told me if it hurt...

    Modification for Rear Delt Raises With Band

    I'm sorry that the exercises are still causing problems with pain/spasms. I had upper back pain & spasms a few years ago from a pinched nerve in my neck. I would suggest a trip to a doctor for meds to relieve the pain/spasms & a diagnosis. Physical therapy helped me also. I hope you feel...

    Modification for Rear Delt Raises With Band

    I'm not Cathe but I have you ever tried using the band for rear delt flyes while standing? Wrap the band around a pole (I wrap it around my home gym), stand straight with your shoulders down and chest lifted. Then do the rear delt fly movement. It seems to stress the neck less than bending...

    SNM - Have you made a decision yet?

    RE: SNM - Not Yet I don't use the premixes often but I really like the mix-n-match feature on the TimeSaver DVD. I wish the mix-n-match feature would contain all of the sections on the DVD instead of just the specific workout. It's so easy to choose the part of the workout that your want...

    Do you have home gym equipment?

    I bought a True 500 Home Gym from The Fitness Experience and love it. It was expensive. There is an optional leg press attachment that can be purchased. I will probably buy the leg press attachment when I can't safely lift a barbell over my head for squats. My suggestion would be to go to a...

    SUPERSET PROBLEMS

    Hi! I have a problem with Supersets also. Push Pull plays fine. I've played it on two different DVD players with a problem on both. It's not the DVD player. Shouldn't DVDs play on all players? Sandi

    Show variation of free weight exercises using weight ma...

    Hi Cathe! I'd like a weight workout that shows variations of free weight exercises using machines. One of your background exercisers could do the machine variation and everyone else would be using free weights. An example would be tricep pressdowns (using a cable) instead of tricep overhead...

    Pinched nerve after S/H

    Hi! I'm not Cathe either but I know exactly how you feel. I went to a doctor for medication to reduce the inflamation (Clinoril), went to a chiropractor and had physical therapy. The meds worked wonders for the inflamation, the chiropractic adjustments got everything into alignment and the...

    Another 2 part tape ?

    I love your idea of an Intro to Cathe that includes step & weight training similar to The Wedding video. I would buy it and I've been using Cathe's tapes for awhile. It would benefit a newcomer to Cathe's workouts but could be used after an injury or just when an lower intensity/less time...

    All those lil' muscles

    I agree that this would be a wonderful workout to prevent injuries. I would like it to include stretches that are held longer to lengthen "All those lil' muscles". Sandi
