Hi everyone! My DH surprised me with the Terminator DVD (now my Cathe DVD collection is complete...;)) for my 35th birthday. Just tried Imax extreme from it, and it's awesome!!! I didn't think mixing up old workouts could end up feeling like such a different workout alltogether. I can't wait...

Hi, good question, I've wondered about that myself sometimes. I consider myself a pretty seasoned exerciser too, and I don't get sore very easily. I too was wondering if I'm working hard enough, since some people seem to get sore much easier. It seems to me like getting sore varies from...

Hi! Thanks so much for your answers Dutchie and Carole! Sorry it took me so long to get back, isn't it just typical our screen would go dead right after I posted the question, so I wasn't able to get back sooner. Anyway, you're so right about not worrying about the heartrates at this...

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in quite a while, and I noticed there was no check in for last week, so I though I'd start up one for this week (even though I almost feel I don't deserve to since I've been away for so long...;/). Anyway, we've been away a lot, and the few days at home in...

Hi everyone! I'm a devoted Catheite, and I've been enjoying all the workouts for almost a year now. I was thinking of adding running to my rotation, and I've tried it a few times this summer. So far I can't say I'm really enjoying it (more like the opposite...;//), so I'm wondering if any of...

Another vote for Circuit Max. Absolutely love that one, I'm drenched after that one. Time flies because there's lots of variety (kickbox, hi-lo,step). Next would be HSTA then Cardio & Weights. Maria

Great article with all the protein / lo-carb discussion going on! I do believe it's the quality of the carbs that make a difference, like it says; it's not about french fries etc. but whole wheats, legumes, vegetables, fruits. All the stuff I love...!!! I'm so happy to get some reinforcement for...

Interesting how different things challenge us! I find Circuit Max really challenging cardiowise as the short compound weight segments really keep your heartrate up there. I count it as a "high intensity" cardio workout, and I also sweat tremendously during CM (much more than BC or alike). In my...

Hi, my heart rate in a high intensity workout is around 140-160, during intervals a little higher (my max is 180). Moderate workouts are around 130-145. Hope this helps. Maria

I'm so sorry for your loss! I wish you and your family strength in this difficult time. Take care of each other! Our thoughts are with you, Maria

Hi there, I really like Christi Taylor too, I only have her compilation DVD with Still Steppin, Hi-lo heaven etc. on. I do it every now and then as variety for Cathe cardio, and I love the choreography too. Time flies! Maria ps I believe I read somewhere that Christi does Cathe interval...

Hallo, according to my Polar M51 I burn around 300 calories in an hour of high intensity cardio (KPC and the likes). Mic gets me up to about 330...;)) I have a pretty low max heart rate, which is why my overall heartrate isn't that high even in an intense workout which partly explains the low...

Congrats Aquajock! I am so happy for you and for all of us, since without you making it here we would be missing out on so much!!! Your comments are so insightful, witty and inspiring, and I'm always looking forward to reading them on this forum. And I've learnt a lot from them, too ;))...

RE: Correction Works just perfect here in Finland too. Maria S

I preordered all of them. I got my first Cathe last fall, and now I've got all of them, so I guess you could call me hooked...;))! Can't wait! Maria

Hi, I would love a tough cardiobased circuitworkout with both hi-lo, step (and why not some kickboxing thrown in) and some (not too much) weight work that would keep the heartrate elevated (legs and/or compound stuff)! (Kind of like Circuit Max and the power circuits of body max or CTX...

Hi everyone, been quite a busy time here, haven't even checked in for a few weeks. DH changed jobs plus some other "extra" things going on; two kids do seem to slow down getting adjusted to everything...;))) It's amazing! I've tried to make some improvements in my eating; I decided to stop...

Me too, if I'm not overly sore from something. I consider circuit workouts sort of "light weight training", so I go by how I feel. More often than not I'll do them before or after an "actual" weight workout. Of course it depends on the circuit workout, too. Circuit Max is pretty much a...
