I too have wondered about this! At times I can feel it on both sides, while other times I feel it in one place. It seems that often I feel it on the right side when I twist in either direction. I always try to force myself to move in such a way that I feel it equally in the left side. Why...

Hi! I haven't done it in awhile, but I tend to use my Firms for more of a secondary strength workout. I have my Cathe strength tapes and I write down what weight I use for each exercise. I do that at the beginning of the week. Then towards the end of the week, I may put in a second strength...

Wow! What a tough rotation! You go girl!!!!!

Cathe - what do you mean? When you say more strength workouts are near? Does this mean you are on to the next set of tapes already? Just curious. I have been doing only the strength portions of the express tapes for at least 4 weeks now. (I am saving the cardio sections for this winter when...

I have an EZ curl bar too I have used it for about a year now with all of Cathe's tapes. I even have used it for leg work with it on my shoulders. It hurts! I need to find a straight one that is not overly long - they feel too awkward. I'd try to find a straight one like others have...

Wonderful! Kids really do say the cutest stuff! I love it when I hear something that I have said come out of their mouths in their own interpretation! Did you write it down in a baby book or something??

Yeah, I'll do it again! I'm on my third week of it! it is sort of like MIS without the legs and it seems tougher (but I guess it is longer since it is about 1 hour with only upper body!) Body sure feels it the next day! Love that good sore feeling!!

Tough! I do them in this order: biceps, back, triceps, chest, shoulders. By the time I get to chest I can barely finish. In fact I had to stop early with the presses. I decreased my barbell by taking off 3lb. weights from each side and for dumbells I either use the same weights as Cathe or...

I just read about these in Glamour magazine that they help give you more muscle for the same moves. You can use them for squats, lunges, crunches, push-ups. Has anyone tried them? Is it a gimmick? According to the magazine we can view them at www.exer-tools.com & buy them for $25. Wondering...

Hi Cathe and everyone! I have trouble with my wrists and always substitute chest presses for push-ups. What should I do in place of tricep pushups. I can try the presses placing the barbell over my ribs more, but is there another substitute that would be even more effective that I could...

what I'm doing I got the new set a couple of weeks ago and I have been combining only the weight sections once a week in a one hour "weight day" and using circuit Max once a week as my other weight day. I feel like my muscles have gotten larger. Before that I was doing PS and MIS and working...

this thread . . . is a good ab workout! Daphne, I laughed so hard at your post about Meaner Legs! I too have not previewed it, can you say FEAR? Now I'm really scared! You guys are SOOO funny!!

It's a toughie! I thought the two beginning Hi/Lo sections were the hardest to get through. I kept waiting for the weight section so I could rest, then during the weights I waited for the cardio so that I could rest. Well, rest came when the tape ended!! I forgot to take my step down to 6...

How do you do it?? Over at VF there are cool pictures with signatures, but how do people get those pictures there?? This seems like a good time to gfigure that out. It will give me a little time to come up with a good one! Thanks!

RE-sealed???I I don't think Cathe's company distributes these tapes at all anymore, and I would guess that by now most of these old Cathe videos have been opened. I guess I would be a bit apprehensive about very old Cathe videos that are still in wrap. I know videos (and anything else for...

I have wondered how to combine them too I have been using Cathe's tapes for quite awhile now and I absolutely love all of the tapes!! I have recently "rediscovered" the Firm. I never really got into the tapes because I wasn't sure I liked the classic workouts. I have just started using Firm...

Add me to the list! <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Aug-09-00 AT 09:34AM (EST)</font></center> I am home all summer relaxing (I'm a teacher) and find that the kitchen is NEVER closed at my house! I can eat an entire box of cereal (doesn't matter what kind!!!) in a day...

Hi Cathe and everyone! I have 2 questions regarding Cathe's answers to other posts. First, on one post you said that it is best to do the PS upper body tapes on two separate days but if you must, you may do them on the same day. I've been doing them on the same day but switching the order...

You should be fine! The trickiest parts of IMax are the short routines which preceed the interval blast. If you can do the choreography on the Wedding video and Step Jam, you should be fine! The step section of MIC is much more difficult (as far as choreography goes). IM is a toughie! The...
