What is the intensity factor of the different Xtrain cardio based workouts? Intermediate or Advanced or somewhere in between? Hoping for some tough stuff, but since it seems to be more of a strength-focused workout series, I'm afraid the cardio might be less intense on some or all. Trying to...

I've done 5 of the new workouts so far and am really enjoying them! I normally love higher impact stuff for the sheer calorie burn, but you did not disappoint in the intensity factor of this series! I also love the variety with the weights, bands, disks, etc. Very fun and fast paced! Two...

Will a recumbent exercise bike work okay for Cycle Max? What type of modification might be necessary? Would my elliptical be better to use? I don't use my exercise bike that often, and don't want to buy a spin bike just for Cycle Max. Thanks!

I also posted this question in Ask Cathe, but thought maybe others might have some insight to help me decide between ordering STS Total Body or High Reps. I don't usually do a lot of weight-only workouts (usually cardio or cardio/weight circuit.) Can you compare the two in style of the workout...

I don't usually do a lot of weight-only workouts (usually cardio or cardio/weight circuit), but am interested in possibly getting either STS Total Body or High Reps. Can you compare the two in style of the workout and net physical outcome? Is one more likely to build muscle? One more cardio...

I was SO excited about the MMA workouts (as someone who does Tae Kwon Do) but thought MMA Kickbox and MMA Fusion were lacking in the intensity/shock department. There were some brief moments where the intensity started to come up but they were too few and far between. I was really hoping that...

My husband & teenage sons are doing Insanity together and enjoying it. I'm thinking of getting them P90X, but wondered if they would still be able to do it together? I would add a wall-mount pullup bar, but with only one would it still work? Is there a way to rotate the exercises so they...

Does anyone know what workouts Cathe is planning after STS? I didn't order STS (just not my thing) and I am getting the jitters for a new Cathe cardio workout! I can't seem to find any recent mention of what's on her schedule...

Someone was mentioning their desire for a good Bosu workout on the suggestions for new DVD's board, so I said I'd post the names of some available workouts by other instructors. CIA Double Cardio is a great bosu workout with Seasun Zeiger (along with a great step workout by Sharon Money...

My mom (60) needs a beginner workout that is simple and quick enough that she can squeeze it in each day. She borrowed some silly "Shapely Secrets in 7" DVD's from her sister, but I think she can find something more effective than that. I think anything Cathe has would be too hard. Does...

I just got the new workout today and noticed the thinner DVD case. I have a DVD wall rack in my exercise room that is completely full, and just yesterday was puzzling over whether I should get a bigger rack or dump some of my rarely used non-Cathe workouts on ebay to make room for the 4day...

I'm going to buy a high step for use with the new 4 day split. Which other high step workout would you suggest? I was looking at High Step Challenge versus High Step Training Advanced. Opionions on either? Thank you!

Is there a list of equipment used in the new 4 day split DVD that's posted somewhere? I've browsed through the blog several times and noticed two screen shots referencing eqipment for that particular portion, but wondered if there was something more comprensive. I'm ordering a high step, but...

I almost bought a Bosu on sale at Target today ($89.99) but decided I'd check the internet first. I'm glad I waited because I bought one on gnc.com on sale for $79.99 with free shipping and used a coupon code for 30% off (your first online order-code JAN174-, but there are other codes you can...

Hi all, I'm 34, and after my fifth child was born the weight just wasn't coming off. Pre-children I had always been thin and fit, but each pregnancy left with me with 5-10 pounds that I hadn't lost (I had five in a 10 year span). I confess that after becoming a mom I never really dieted or...

I am new to Cathe's workouts and would love to see a "create your own workout" type feature. Maybe this is available on some of her DVD's already? I have some DVD's by others that allow you to mix and match the components that you want and it will play them in that order. It is handy when...
