What to do, what to do? I want to buy another strength training DVD. I've got Muscle Max, Supersets & Push/Pull, and Muscle Endurance. My goals are to increase muscle definition, decrease BF, and improve strength. I can only get one, so which one should it be? I can workout about an hour a day...

I'm kind of scared! I was a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Nutrition & Weight Loss Consultant for abour 6 years prior to having my son - 10 years ago! After being a SAHM and living abroad during the past 10 years, we are now resettled back in the States (1 year now!) and I am...

Hi all, Long time no 'see'! We're finally moved back to the USA, settled into our new home, unpacked (almost - still a few boxes in the garage,) and ready to start building our workout room. I've been reading lots of threads w/ advice on flooring, etc., but I wanted to start a fresh thread to...

Ugh, we are moving back to the States in a couple weeks and I am totally overwhelmed with things that must be done before the movers come, the moving process, getting resettled in the US, etc., etc., etc.! And I am completely umotivated to exercise. I think I'm going to have to put working out...

:D :D DH accepted a job offer in the Seattle area, and we are moving the first week in March! I am so excited, but sad to be leaving the UK at the same time. Is it wrong that one of my first concerns is where I'll work out until we get a house and I have my own workout room (may not be until...

Good morning/afternoon all! I just got done w/ a cool mish-mosh for upper body using the new series. I didn't want to do heavy weights, but I did want to feel 'worked'. I did KPC (cardio conditioning premix & abs) previous to this. Equipment used: stability ball band light dumbbells (I...

Hi all, I need a little 'chin up, girl' talk! We have been living in the UK for four years. Four GREAT years, we've had a lot of cool adventures, traveled a lot, etc. We decided last year that we wanted to move home in 2006/07. My DH works very hard, is very good at what he does, and has...

I'd love to see one - as I said in my post below I thought that a lot of the moves in Drill Max would be good for pre-ski conditioning. http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=2&topic_id=68475&mesg_id=68475&page= Thanks!

Hey Cathe! I just got done doing Drill Max for the first time (no problems on my Sony multi-region DVD player for any of the discs) and it was so much FUN! Tough, but fun. :D I loved the functional fitness exercises you incorporated, and I think that a lot of the drills and exercises would be...

Wow, I just finished this workout and I loved it!:7 :7 Awesome music, fun choreography, killer strength work, and just all around fun, fun, fun.:D Thanks Cathe - I know I'm going to enjoy this workout quite a lot. I've got almost all your workouts from the Body Blast series on, and I think...

I'm so excited! I just this morning got my new DVDs delivered. I hadn't pre-ordered because I wasn't sure where we'd be living (UK or US) when the DVDs shipped out. So, I ended up ordering from Collage Video on Monday and got them today. I'm amazed! I paid $20 extra for UPS Worldwide express...

While viewing the clips of the new workouts and reading the descriptions on the website I thougth they'd lend themselves very well to a CTX-like rotation. So here it is! I don't have my DVDs yet, but can't wait to get them and try them out using this rotation. If anyone tries it, let me know how...

I just finished watching all the new DVD clips again, and I've also printed out the workout descriptions and premixes from the website. I think these new workouts will work great in a 'faux' CTX rotation that I'm putting together. Body Max has an all step segment, as well as a Power circuit...

Cathe, since I started working out consistently with your workouts 6 months ago (after doing mostly Tae Bo for a year after several years of inactivity) I have lost almost a whole dress size! I haven't lost many pounds (don't really need to lose much,) but I've lost inches and gained muscle and...

I was getting very down on myself because I was working out 6 days a week at high intensity, eating pretty clean and not seeing any changes. I was also exhausted and stressed because of our impending move (waiting, waiting, waiting to find out WHEN!) So a couple weeks ago I decided to take my...

Hi everyone - how are you doing in fitness land? I am feeling so guilty! I caught a bug and had a low-grade fever earlier this week. I've been resting since Tuesday, and feel better today (no fever) and am feeling very guilty about not working out. I am flying to Seattle tomorrow w/ my 8yo DS...

How was your trip? Hope you had fun - the weather was pretty good this weekend. I have a security ? for you. Were you allowed to take lipstick or chapstick/lip balm on board when you flew from London back to the US? Everything I've read says absolutely no cosmetics or toiletries at all in...

Hi there! Where do you buy your exercise equipment? I've only been able to find a Reebok Step, no High Step at all. I've also not had great luck finding dumbbells or barbells. I'm making do w/ various dumbbells now and it's fine, but I'm planning on going on an equipment buying spree when we...

My little warrior fractured his wrist playing footie and has an arm cast for a couple weeks. Any tips for keeping the cast dry while he bathes/showers? Thanks!

Ooof! I went running yesterday for the first time in many years (yeah me:D ) and I knew I would be sore, but my quads, hip flexors and shins are really sore today (DOMS.) I was planning on doing weights today - just got Push Pull & Supersets. Should I skip legs? Or just take it as I find it and...
