I'm scheduled to do meso 2, week 3 next week, but I have a question about double wave loading. I don't have weighted gloves or platemates. How do you increase your weights in such small increments? For example 5% of 15 lbs is .75. I want to buy weighted gloves, but am waiting until the 2lbs each...

I'd like some info about this workout. How long are the step sections? How many are there? Does it contain any blasts? What about premixes? I want a new step workout from Cathe and this is one I don't have. I'm not too interested doing weights and cardio together, but was wondering if the step...

Since that seems to be the wave of the future, I was wondering if you are headed in that direction?

I can't wait for Cathe's new workouts. I've been wanting them forever. After reading the descriptions I decided to do my own version of it using some of her other workouts. Day 1: First half of IMAX 2 followed by chest and back work from the Gym Styles (I don't own Slow & Heavy). Day 2...

Cathe, I just read your description of the new workouts and am really looking forward to them. However, I was wondering what you mean by "bootcamp cardio"? Do you mean cardio with lots of jumping jacks, squat thrusts and other similar moves? Just trying to get a feel for exactly what you mean.

What would be a good upper body workout to alternate with B & G? Any suggestions?

I did MIS the other day. I have owned it since it originally came out on VHS. Now I have it on dvd and it is still a killer after all this time. Cathe, you knew how to do it then and you know how to do it now. It's still my favorite total body weight workout. It gets into my muscles like no...

I know that the lower body portion contains a lot of reps, but what about the upper body section. I'm looking for a heavier upper body workout that's done in one session. I never seem to get the time for two upper body workouts a week.

Cathe I would love to see a compilation dvd that included all of your stability ball workouts. I just love them and would love to have them all grouped together. Most are for the core, but the lower body ones are great too.

Now that a new Body Max is coming out, I'm wondering if anyone has done a rotation doing the above two workouts that combine lower body weights and vigorous cardio. If you've done such a rotation, what were the effects on your lower body? I want to slim mine down and I thought this might be...

Butts and Guts looks great, but we'll need an upper body workout to go with it. I can't tell you how many times I've done PUB, Pure Strength, Gym Styles, and CTX Upper. I'd love a new long total upper body workout. I know there's only so many ways to hoist a dumbell, but you always come up with...

I'm presently doing a Gym Styles rotation but I find that the Legs workout is so very long that I'm thinking about dividing it up into two separate workouts. Does anyone do this? Has it affected your results?

I cannot for the life of me keep the titles High Step Circuit and High Step Training straight. The titles are too similar, so I have decided to distinguish them by color. The yellow one is the hard one and the blue one is easier, but still a lot of fun. If someone says HST, I don't have a clue...

I'm just starting a Body Max rotation. I'd like to know if anyone has had results with this workout. I know I will increase cardio and leg endurance, but what about the upper body? Has anyone built muscle with this upper body routine? What about fat loss? I worry that it's I will only gain...

As someone relatively new to Cathe's DVDs, can someone tell me the difference between the chapter listings, mix 'n' match, and the workout blender?

Cathe, I just wanted to say how happy I am that you're now making some beg/int workouts. I've had a few restarts in my time as an exerciser and nothing irritates me more than some of the beginner workouts on the market today. Some of the leads pratter on endlessly and talk to you as if you're...

I did Circuit Max today. I'm so thrilled. I have always been intimidated by Cathe's cardio so I mainly did her weight workouts and the early step ones. I just didn't see how I would ever be able to do that high intensity cardio. Well today I did Circuit Max. I did have to modify down once in...

Is there a website where you can calculate the calories you need daily based on weight, height, age etc.? Can anyone post a link?

I have to admit that the upper body portion of Body Max was often neglected. Because of time constraints, I just didn't get to it. The other day I found a way to use it. If you want another high rep workout to add to Power Hour, MIS, and Muscle Endurance, combine this workout with Leaner...

I found it at my local Gart's Sporting Goods store. They offer the four riser option only. It's slightly more expensive than what Cathe charges($59.95), but I bought it anyway. If it's in this store I'm sure it's in others as well. I want to thank Step 'n' Motion for getting the Step Company to...
