I would like a CTX 2 but instead of endurance type weight work I would like slow and heavy weight work. I think a band and bodyweight only type of workout would be great - something without a lot of equipment. Some new cardio - I'm not fussy about what kind but it would be wonderful if we...

I was supposed to get my period on Tuesday - took a test and it was negative. Yesterday, I took an 1 1/2 nap in the afternoon and went to bed last night at 9 PM and slept until 8 PM this morning. Huh, the last time I was that tired I ended up being pregnant. So, I took another test this...

I just found out today that I am pregnant with baby #3! I am very happy and excited. I am only about 4 weeks along so obviously I haven't told anyone except DH but I just had to share! :) I stood up quickly this morning and got very dizzy and almost fainted so I decided to get an early...

I have Power Max on VHS and I really like it. It has fun moves and the music is good so I was wondering how Step Fit and Step Works compare to it. I got the Cardio Classics DVD and have only tried Step Max. The music was uninspiring and she broke down the moves so much I only made it...

I would like another video like C&W or Circuit Max but using kickboxing as the cardio instead of step.

My idea for a new total body series similar to CTX would be... Volume 1 - Total Body Weights not including abs with floor legwork Volume 2 - 30 - 45 minutes of Kickboxing (lots of drills, please :))followed by a killer core/abs routine with the stability ball Volume 3 - Mini IMax with...

Cathe, or anyone who may know - are you certified to teach pilates? I requested a pilates tape in the suggestions forum and realized I didn't even know if you were certified. Is a pilates tape in the future a possibility or not? Thanks! Tami

I would also like another CTX series although this time would it be possible to mix up the intensity? I would love a pilates DVD from you - you have a ton of step vids and weight-lifting vids but no pilates yet...I think you would be a wonderful teacher. Please incorporate the stability...

Hi, I am starting a running program. This is the history...I've started out with the first week run 2 minutes, walk 4 and progressing from there. The problem is, the book I got schedules running 5 times per week. I can only run 2, possibly 3 times per week. I also can not schedule my runs...

I have a muscular physique but have an extra 10 lbs to blast off. I was going to try dropping weight training for a month and focus on cardio 5 days per week (1 intense step (Cathe), 2 interval (IMax and Intense Moves), 1 kickbox (Cardio Kicks), 1 steady state low-impact (FIRM CSM or modified...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-26-02 AT 03:15PM (Est)[p]Cathe or anyone else that can help me... I don't know if this is unusual or not but I did Slow and Heavy and could lift almost as heavy as Cathe. I did CTX and Power Hour and have to use very light or no weights. On LL I used 8 lb dumbbells at first...

I'm planning on doing a CTX rotation which I have never done. I know that you are not supposed to do Power Circuit and Leaner Legs back to back but in what order is it best to do them? 4 of them contain ab workouts and I don't want to overtrain. I also am planning on only doing 5 vid's per...

My husband made me a full size step and I told him to make it 8 inches tall because that was what my FIRM short box is. It is not adjustable and I found it difficult to finish even your Wedding video on an 8 inch step. I stopped using my arms and found it to be much easier. I could complete...

Hi Cathe, First some back ground before I ask my question. I seem to build muscle quite easily. I am not lifting nearly as heavy as you yet I have nice definition in my upper body, abs and quads. I am 5'5, 128 lbs, 27 years old, mother of two and a pear so I have thick thighs and a jiggly...

Cathe, Thank you so much for the answer on proper form for squats. Now I have another question on form. I was wondering how to safely execute plyo jumps. Is it okay for your knees to go over your toes for those or not? I have a difficult time getting low enough without my knees shooting out...

Hi, I've been a FIRMie for a few years and I'm ready to move on to Cathe. I've saved enough money to buy 6 videos. I would like the PS series so that takes up 3. I also would like to try some of her cardio but even FIRM aerobics choreography challenges me. How difficult are Cardio Kicks...

Cathe, I just got your MIS and did it yesterday and I noticed when you squat and lunge your knee goes over your ankle to your toes. (It never went beyond your toes)I thought proper form was to keep your knee directly over your ankle. Could you please clarify? Thank you so much. Tami
