    Hi ya all, and especially all of you that have the Terminator DVD. I was just wondering, I've been trying to fit in 1-2 interval workouts per week, and I find the Terminator workouts are so demanding, that I seldom seem to have the energy for another interval workout if I do more than one...

    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...
