I would love an all cardio workout combining all the high step moves from your high step workouts and mixing in hi/lo or kickbox segments. Another wish is to have standard body part chapters from your total body workouts with lower body floorwork sections (bridges, side leg lifts) and abs...

I do have to say I love the new version of the Workout Manager and how easy it is to add dvds workouts/premixes to my Calendar. As a web database engineer, I give it a big thumbs up!!

I've known all along about the 1rm and I've also known all along that I wasn't going to do them and just start a heavy weight and up it in increments each week, just as I did with P90x, gym styles,etc. I do love the program and the concept of a new workout each week makes me feel like I have...

I do not see any mention of cardio in the book and the workout manager does not suggest any in the basic sts rotation so I am adding in my own.

Many of the moves I have seen in Butts & Gutts (walking lunges, firewalkers, squat with leg elevated on step) and a couple I have seen in Legs & Glutes (uneven squats on the step) but many I have not seen before, especially the lunge with sliding your leg back on a plate and picking up/putting...

Today I did Disc 3- Legs Mesocycle 1 but my official rotation will start Monday. I did not do the 1rm and started with 12 pound dumbells but had to drop to 8 for some sets of lunges and will go heavier for squats and deadlifts the next time. I liked the pace and didn't think this one was too...

It sounds like he has a lot of curious energy and may be too smart for his own good. My son who is four (and has always been a handful, 3 was harder than 2) is controllable if I can just direct that energy. It's when I get busy doing things andd ignore him is when he gets into trouble. I...

I do not think there is anything wrong with folks be able to gripe about their pet peeves with regards to workouts. It is tricky when posting on the web when in the absence of body language, criticism can seem to be harsh. Additionally, some folks have a sarcastic sense of humor or way of...

I ordered Lomax by Ezaggle on Ebay and he sent me Body Max 2 instead, which I already own. The label and the image on the dvd were pretty convincing (high quality) and would have had me fooled if I did not already own Body Max 2. When I held and compared them side by side, you could tell the...

I am not a big fan of complicated step choregraphy (I stay away from dancy, complex step workouts like the the plague) but Body Max 2 is one of my favorite workouts. If you do the warmup, skip the step segment and do the step circuit + weights you get a good bit of high intensity step cardio (...

Nobody works the lower body better than Cathe. Each of her lower body dvds have a favorite move so I find myself swapping dvds on lower body days. I would love to see a compilation release of favorite lower body moves. If I were to create one workout from bits and pieces of existing workouts it...

Bodymax 2 is one of my favorite workouts and I regularly use the warmup plus circuit step/weight section in my rotation. However, I still seem to get tripped up when doing the diagonal facing over, then 'step off the edge and across the step' move. I always seem to be on the wrong leg and most...

I love to run and only a good intense step tape leaves me breathing hard and my face red like a good run does. Kickboxing and aerobics give me a good workout but not at that same intensity. However, I believe lower impact kickboxing, aerobics and walking are really good for your circulation to...

I wanted to add (being rather frugal myself) that I used to used a regular step turned sideways for the High Step tapes. I bought the fanny lifter on sale as it is 14 inches like the high step but also has smaller sections for aerobics (6 & 8 inch). With the regular step I could do leg presses...

The Firm's Fanny Lifter works very well in place of the high step as they also use it for leg presses and similar exercises. It is much cheaper and can be found at ebay or Target. I bought it at target for $29 a while back.

I really like how the High Step Training DVD allows you to do all the cardio sections at once. I would definitely buy a premix that has all the step portions from all three high step tapes (and perhaps some Leg Presses for good measure, those from the Muscle Endurance one get my heart rate up...
