I'm actually trying to stay in the rep amount of 8-10 maximum, heaviest weight. I think Cathe is going for 12 reps on a lot of these. I'm thinking more like P90X. So, I going to try and tweak my cardio a little and see how that goes. Thanks for the replies.

Maybe that's what I need to do, try for 30-45 minutes of cardio. Thanks.

Okay, heres the deal for the last 2 1/2 months I have beeen trying to put my focus on gain muscle thereby limiting my cardio. I'm down to 20 - 30 minutes 4- 5 times a week. Now, with this said ofcourse I'm going to end up putting on some weight, here's the deal. I was such a petite person to...

I'm 43 and I have to admit I have a confidence in my decision making that I didn't have before. Like you, I'm not afraid to admit if there is something I don't know enough about, I'm okay with that. I do have some aches and I'm looking for gray hairs. My brother has them and he's about seven...

I did experience a loss of muscle definition and some strength. I don't know exactly what it is, I think Tony pushes me in a way where I'm really allowed to focus on just the muscles being worked and there really isn't a cardio factor brought in to fatigue me. Also, I think it has something to...

I'll be perfectly honest, I wouldn't mind some men in the series just to have some nice looking guys to look at. It's a pleasant change of pace.

That's a good thought, I mean Cathe's DVD's are always of a high quality. However, you do feel the money pinch sometimes, you know money's tight allover. If you could start off with sending in a portion of the payment in various intervals that would be nice. Just my two-cents. I'd want it...

I wanted to wish you the very best, keep trying to do the things that you need to to get better and like the others said, if you slip, don't give it up. I truly believe that the tough things in life do need to be taken one day at a time. Otherwise, we'd all go crazy!! I have never had...

Right now I'm finishing up a round of P90X and I'm just wondering, does the heavy lifting on her new DVD's have the same intensity as the P90X DVD's? Also, I know it's very early but is anyone seeing any muscular changes yet? I've only done the cardio portions so far, I love the variety and...

I really am very happy with the pace that you decided to go with for the weight segment on the legs. I find I'm better able to focus on the muscle group without the cardio becoming a distracting factor. I also love the variety of leg exercises that you do to hit each area. So many new and...

Okay, so I have to ask again. Does anyone have the 411 on this guy? Is he going to put out another set of DVD's? I love the music too!! It really gets you going. I had to take a day off today from it but I'll be back to it tomorrow. I have a virus or something. Great DVD's.

I'm so thankful for this thread!! I thought I must be so out of shape. My son had been ill(he had a stroke) so I hadn't done cardio in three weeks. I had ordered Barrys tapes a while ago, and so I decided to take them out and do them. Now I have only done two of the cardio portions so far...

Wow, Laura!! You look incredible!! Really cut and defined too! I wonder why it is that people say you really only get the definition when you do lighter weights and more reps? Do you stick to the 8-10 range? You look great! And lean too.

What is the longest any of you have gone with a muscle building round as opposed to a muscle definition round? Have you done like a month with heavy weights and then switched or 2 to 3 months and then switched to more definition type training? Lighter weights, more reps. I'm just curious...

Sorry this is so late, I had been busy. Thanks for getting back to me Cathe.

Wow, I got some great replies. Thanks to everyone with your suggestions.

You know I've heard of people on this forum who are going to try doing less cardio and focus on weights because they want see what that does for them. I saw you in the one picture with your daughter, very cute by the way. You and your daughter, maybe I should make that my focus for a while...

Someone else already posted this sort of question in the Ask Cathe forum, I just thought I'd ask it again in a different way. What is the deal with getting very defined results? I too have been working out for years, may different ways, heavy low reps, light multiple reps, watching the eating...

I believe you've mentioned that doing a split routine with the weights works best for you? I could be wrong, I'm curious though. So you never find yourself looking very compact with the heavier weights and lower reps? I know your about the same height I'am. Just curious? Thank you.

Thank you much. My body seems to stay leaner looking with full body workouts. I'm very short and when I go heavy I can have a tendency to look more "compact" for lack of a better word. Thanks, I wonder if Cathe ever has that problem?
