    JiggleMax

    >The guy on the right is Jai's husband. >Laurie I thought both Jai and her husband were in Bootcamp. Jai's not even in Circuit Max or Kick Max. Didn't she start appearing on Cathe's workout a couple years later. I think that's a different guy. Cecilia

    ab work on the ball

    I was doing KPC the other day and noticed that I just don't seem to feel my abs working while doing crunches on the ball. I try changing the position of the ball on my back and also lifting my lower body higher but still nothing. I usually feel my abs working when I do crunches on the floor...

    Her voice gets lost here and there

    I also noticed that the music in LIC is very loud using the normal mix option. There are definite sections in which I can't hear what Cathe is saying so I miss the step. Cecilia

    aesthetic questions and comments

    Cathe, First off love your new workouts. You're an amazing choreographer and fitness expert. I like the new scenery in the background. It is very calming with the wooded forest and streaks of light filtering in. Also the beige yellow paint color on the wall is also very calming while...

    drill max rocks

    I just previewed this one and WOW WOW WOW! Enthusiastic applause to Cathe-you are an amazing woman with such talent, creativity, and dare I say telepathy :o This routine is unlike any of the other ones with the variety of exercises, equipment, and fun choreography; just what the long time Cathe...

    An Update on the Freezing Issue!

    I just did LIC and it froze during the lying tricep extensions on the step. I pressed stop and then resume with a little fast forward and it played again fine. Of course at that point my triceps were whipped and I didn't want to do anymore so skipping the last few reps were okay with me. While...

    Got HSTA & HCE today

    I just previewed these two dvds and I have to say I really like the way Cathe and gang look in HSTA. The lighting was perfect. The yellow camis were very flattering on all the ladies and their hair look so pretty especially Cedie's. Now the set design was a little distracting. I kept on thinking...

    Are your live classes like your dvds?

    Cathe or anyone who's taken a live class with Cathe, I was curious if your classes at your gym are like the dvd workouts with a class called Step Blast, Bodymax, or Bootcamp? Do you do the same routines and use the same music or is it completely different? Do you do trial runs of the new...

    Which w/os have floorwork?

    I recall one Cathe w/o I did once (don't remember title) had a really tough floorwork for the butt and thighs with a bodybar and ankle weights. Also I think another w/o had butt work with the stability ball. Are there other w/os that also have floorwork not on the ball though? I don't mean...

    January rotation - Jan 4

    I did Imax 1-5 and 2nd half of MIC today and did it kick my butt. I must have sweated at least one bucketful. Don't know why this combo was really hard to get through for me when Imax by itself isn't so hard for me. Guess I'm feeling the effects of the previous two days in this rotation. Cecilia

    favorite step

    Another vote for SB. This one is about nearly perfect as far as step w/o. Great music, choreography, and intensity. I love how she has the 3 blasts at the end to mix it up. Very fun and intense indeed. The only thing I wished for this one is a longer w/o but then sometimes I do the 90 minutes...

    Favorite Circuit Workout?

    I love C&W & SPJ, although these aren't as tough as the other w/o they have a fun factor for me because of great music, choreography, and outfit. For kick my butt fun Bootcamp for sure. I did Circuit Max for the first time today, and this one is also very tough but not one of my favorites due to...

    How come strength endurance w/o seems more difficult th...

    I was following the 3 month rotation 2 hours workouts Cathe posted awhile back for someone. Part of the rotation was 3 weeks of S&H, then 3 weeks of PS, then 3 weeks of S&H. So I finished my 4th week of the 6 weeks of S&H and was really bored with this w/o, so I decided to skip to the next part...

    Invisible jump rope section from Kickbox of CTX series

    It depends on what you're looking for. I'm also an advanced exerciser. I think if you like intense, more tricky footwork, and high concentration you may enjoy it. The dvds to me are a way to build on the simple jumprope move by teaching you additional move to do on the rope. I would recommend...

    Invisible jump rope section from Kickbox of CTX series

    RE: Invisible jump rope section from Kickbox of CTX ser... No I don't use the beaded jump rope yet because my feet kept tangling up with the rope when I tried just jumping without any of the fancy moves. I just did the w/o holding the detachable handles that came with my kit for now. My kit...

    Invisible jump rope section from Kickbox of CTX series

    I was trying out portions of the CTX dvd and was pleasantly surprise to find some jumproping in Kickbox (KB). I had just completed my first Ropesport workout a few minutes earlier, so I was psyched to see Cathe had some of the same jump rope moves I just learned :7 . If you haven't tried it...

    Music on new DVDS

    I also love the music from Imax 2 (Intensity Series) and also from Bodyblast Series. My favorites is "Pina Colada" during Imax 2's killer 9th blast. Whew that one brings a smile to my mouth, while tears are running down my cheeks from the plie jacks. Then Cathe goes on to the 10th blast with the...

    A 60-minute step workout

    I too go through alot more cardio (6x/wk) than the strength or circuit workouts. Since I don't run I get my daily 60 minutes of cardio from my dvds. Cathe is the queen of advance power stepping and I truly hope she'll go back to her roots and make more challenging, fun, high intensity step...

    Need help on choosing a new stepper

    I really would like to get a longer step to get the most out of my Cathe step workouts so I'm going to buy either the Original Step which Cathe uses or the other newer Reebok step which is adjustable 6",8",10" it's 35.5 in length I believe and the L shaped gray risers snap in place. I like the...

    Is it important to switch off days?

    I was checking out some of the rotations Cathe provided and noticed the off days often changed. Is this important to keep your body guessing or is it based upon the toughness of previous days' workout? I usually have my off day on Friday. Is it better to have off days on different days each...
