    "Doubling up STS"

    What do people think of the idea of taking twice the time to do STS by doing each workout twice consecutively. I'm thinking that I would not get much of the benefit first time through where each workout is new especially when many of the moves are new and challenging. Even with watching it...

    Modifying core work

    Hi Cathe I have been enjoying the 4DS and I have a question about the core work. I find the exercises where you roll down with your knees bent and also the hip thrusting exercises at the beginning of the Low intensity core section (sorry can't remember the proper names for either ) really...

    Cathe if you are there I would really appreciate your advice

    Hi Cathe I have just posted this in open discussion but couldn't resist trying for your advice when I saw you on the boards. I am lucky to be having our garage converted into a gym / exercise room. We have a quote on flooring at £2,700 (I'm in the UK excuse the ££ - about $2 to the £ at...

    Flooring - I know this has been discussed before but......

    ....I could really use some advice. I am lucky to be having our garage converted into a gym / exercise room. We have a quote on flooring at £2,700 (I'm in the UK excuse the ££ - about $2 to the £ at the moment) for a sprung wooden floor or we could get concrete and lay the foam sports floor...

    Where can I get a 6ft dynaband in the UK?

    Anyone in the UK - where did you get your resistance band from? I had one from Advanced Workouts in the USA but it's not the same as Cathe's and now it's snapped anyway, so I thought I'd try and get one in the Uk to reduce postage. They all seem to be a standard size of 4ft. Thanks Ruth

    Premixes really add to the new series

    Hi Cathe I just wanted to say that I have really been enjoying your new series of dvds, particularly Drill Max. In particular I think you and your team (with some advice from the forum here ;) ) have done a superb job on the premixes. They change each dvd from one workout into several very...

    Best way to modify push-ups

    Hi Cathe and educated crowd I have just been doing Gym Style Chest and Triceps for the first time. I cannot manage to do all the sets of push-ups as full push-ups and so was modifying either by doing push-ups on my knees with legs crossed behind or by doing full-length push-ups with my hands...

    Replacement dvds through distributors

    Hi I am in the UK and preordered the 4 new dvds through Advanced Workouts. I just contacted them to ask about when they were sending the replacements and they said they had already sent them to customers who had had problems but that you weren't providing them with any for those whose...

    How to get better with stability ball

    Hi Cathe I have a question about using the stability ball. I struggle to use it for a good number of the core and leg exercises you do in your workouts. An example would be the glutes and hamstring exercise in PUB which I was attempting this morning where you have a heel on the ball and...

    Jan2006 rotation - "Let's work"

    Hi I am one week into this tough calorie-burning rotation. I wondered if anyone else has done it all (or is currently doing for a bit of mutual support.:-) ) It contains 70-90min of exercise (a lot of cardio) each day and this week it has included interval training nearly every day. I am...

    Best approach to Core Max

    Hi I recently bought Core Max and did the first segment tonight. In the intro Cathe says the sections get harder by the addition of the stability ball and then the weight. I wondered how other people approached it? Did you wait to master the first segment fully before attempting the second...

    Medicine ball

    Hi I have bought a few new Cathe workouts recently which I haven't tried yet, and noticed some need a medicine ball. My question is - would this be worth buying or can I get by with a dumbbell? And if I do buy one which weight should I get or do people use more than one? thanks Ruth

    Buying Cathe Dvds in England

    Hi I wondered how many others there are here from the UK using Cathe Dvds and how you get hold of them. I have bought from this website, Advanced workouts, collage video and also ebay. The problem I have is that if you try to combine postage by buying more than one at a time then you get...

    Burn the fat feed the muscle

    Hi I have seen quite a few people in this forum recommend this book. I am 5'5 and weigh 139lbs - not a terrible weight but I can never loose that last 5% body fat and few pounds to show much muscle definition. This Tom Venturo book sounds like it might help but I have tried a number of...

    one legged deadlifts in Legs and Glutes

    Hi Cathe I am really enjoying using your videos/dvds (I am in the UK so I didn't come across them for a while) and Legs and Glutes is one of my favourites. However I am never quite sure what I should be working and where I should feel it when I do the one legged deadlift (I think that's what...

    Hi Cathe and everyone I think this is a great forum - I have really got a lot of information reading the posts on here over the last couple of months. I'm from the UK and have managed to add a few Cathe dvds and videos to my collection (they are not very easily available over here). I...
