I keep mine pared down There seem to be 2 types of video collectors, those who still have every video they've ever owned, and those that don't like things sitting around that don't get used anymore. I'm one of the latter. I make/made heavy use of the VF exchange forum and the Firm Swap. The...

Try the Firm Swap There are usually Cathe tapes available at the Firm Swap. Here is a link: http://www.firmbelieversforum.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro This will take you to a page with all of the Firm's forums,and then you choose Firm Swap. You can also post a "Wanted to Buy" list...

Have you been to Video Fitness? There is a huge section at videofitness.com on pregnancy and fitness videos. There is even a section where someone gives specific modifications she did with Cathe's videos. People also give recommendations for non-pregnancy videos that they were able to use...

Mini step Hi! The height of the mini step topper is the same as a regular step. The topper itself is 4 inches, and each riser you put under it adds 2 inches. You can set it at any weight you prefer within those limitations. Obviously, odd numbers are out. ;-) If you are interested in...

Lots of choices! There are some fantastic videos out there! From what you've listed as faves, I would venture to guesss that you prefer a somewhat more athletic style of choreography. In that case, you would probably really like Kristen Kagen's Step This Way. She has an athletic style that is...

Adding my congratulations! What wonderful news! I am so happy for you! Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing the excitement! This time Jon better have his labor coach kit attached at the hip for the last 4 weeks! ;-) My prayers for a safe and healthy pregnancy! Erin

YEAH!!!! I can't wait! :-jumpy :-jumpy :-jumpy It has been torture listening to all the gushing and raving from the VHSers. ( I mean that in a GOOD way, of course! ;-) ) This is going to be great! I have the 12 pack coming. Combo HEAVEN is about to arrive!!! :-) :-jumpy :-jumpy :-jumpy...

I prefer the MIC step section I find the BMax step to be too fast. I feel out of control. I always sub another step section when I want to do BMax. On the other hand, I ONLY like the step section of MIC. I never do the hi/lo. It's much more high impact than my knees will take. :-) The...

I have both a barbell and a couple of body bars ( 15 and 18 lbs ). Both have their their positive points, but I think to start out a barbell is the better investment. With a barbell you have much more versatility in your weight lifting routine. You can do anything from just the bar to however...

Hi, Kim! LAST EDITED ON Aug-08-01 AT 02:57PM (Est)[p]Hi, Kim! Sorry it took me so long to answer. My server has been down all day up until this moment. All day I've been calling and they said it would be "just another 15 - 30 minutes." Jeesh! They need new stop watches! :-) Others have...

A thought I am waiting for the DVDs, so I can't really comment specifically on Power Hour, but if I understand you correctly, you said that you're only lifting once a week and going heavy? My personal experience has been that once a week per body part ( specifically Cathe's PS tapes ), even...

Don't have mine yet, but . . . in the past when they give a weight used, they are giving you the total, including the bar itself. BUT, since I am (im)patiently waiting for the DVDs, I can't say absolutely for sure. On the body bar topic, I have 2: an 18 lber and a 15 lber. I love both and if...

My substitute I don't care for t-bar rows either, so I do the same exercise, except with dumb bells. It feels much less awkward to me, plus I don't have to mess with trying to keep the end on the floor from sliding during the exercise, or changing my weight plates around quickly when I'm done...

Another Ryka devotee I have been wearing various Rykas for about 3 years now, and I will never go back to any other brand of shoe for my workouts! They give me the best support and the best longevity. I had tried Reeboks, Nikes, and Avias in the past, and all of them fell short of Rykas for...

While I totally understand this is frustrating for you, I have a slightly different perspective. It may not be jealousy that motivates these people to comment or a desire to sabotage you, but rather true concern for your well-being. We live in a society where many women are literally starving...

I'm not either one, but . . . In the past they have said that there are no plans currently to break up the set. However you can frequently find the videos available individually on either ebay.com or the Firm Swap board. Just go to firmdirect.com, and then choose forums. Good luck! Erin

Hi, Rhonda! Thanks so much for all of the time and effort you've put into being a valued member of Cathe's cast. I know that it may seem strange, but since we've all worked out with you for YEARS, you and all of the long-time cast feel like old friends! I'm so glad that you were able to come...

Mindy Mylrae Mindy also has some very challenging, athletic-style step tapes. Her CIA 2K02 Sports Cardio is a killer workout. Also good are Action Packed and CIA 2101 Extreme Intervals plus Pump Party. Both of those have both step and hi/lo. Extreme Intervals also has a very nice body bar...

The Mini Step web site! LAST EDITED ON Jun-25-01 AT 09:28AM (Est)[p]This timing is incredible! Just this weekend my husband and I made a web site with the instructions and pics on it to make everything more easily accessible. This way, as long as someone can find the web link in a thread...

Whoa, Myra! De Ja Vu! LAST EDITED ON Jun-24-01 AT 10:59AM (Est)[p]This is very strange, but you just described exactly what I went through recently! I've always known I was hypoglycemic, but it progressed into "something horrible" in January and February. I didn't seek medical help until...
