They all involve weights to some degree - and I love them all. Can I do them consecutively and then do a day of cardio or perhaps an off day, or did you design them to have a cardio/break day in between each workout? Thanks! Beth

Has anyone else's dynaband ripped mid-exercise? Mine did twice this past weekend. Is this common, or are there ways to maximize the life of these things? Is it like my swim cap that requires a dusting of powder after each use before storage or what? Thanks! Beth

Was anyone else as pleasantly surprised by what a great three-workout DVD this is as I was? And how fun to see how Cathe, Rhonda and Brenda have changed. What an inspiration these women are. I have to admit it took me a minute to figure out "horses" were U-turns and "basketballs" were jump...

Hi Cathe, I just completed my first full rotation of yours and am thrilled with the results. Question though: If you've ever seen the Friends episode where Phoebe goes running with Rachael, you've seen me. Running is not my thing. When running, or even biking, is listed in a rotation, what...

I can't take it any more! The excitement around STS is getting the best of me, and I'm wondering if Cathe has commented on the effectiveness of getting just the first two cycles, and skipping the strength cycle which sounds like more than what I'm looking for. Do I defeat the purpose of this...

My husband and I returned yesterday from a dive trip to Roatan, Honduras. We got in 18 dives in five days, many of them in pretty strong current and really fun surges. I was able to make the most of every dive because your videos like Butts and Guts and Legs & Glutes got my lower body in shape...

I have about 23 of Cathe's DVDs, so I have quite a variety of weight worksouts (gym style, pyramind, S&H, muscle max, muscle endurance, etc.) Is this two-some worth adding to my collection? Thanks! Beth

Hi Cathe, I have made a conscious effort to incorporate more strength training than cardio into my rotations this year to gain more lean muscle mass and a more sculpted look. I have been doing workouts such as GS, S&H, PUB/PLB, Muscle Max, etc. Initially I felt muscle soreness; however, lately...

I've posted this question before but got the impression people just taped their hands for kickboxing. The gloves you're wearing in your calendar cover, Cathe, looked weighted, which is what I'm looking for for kickbox workouts. Are they? and if so, do you know where I can get them? Thanks! Beth

Hi all, I'm enjoying KPC much more than I ever thought I would, but I want my kicks to look like Jai's, and that ain't happening. Does anyone know a good resource for breaking down the kicks so I can figure out how to do them properly? Needless to say I need more flexibility as well, but...

Hi Cathe, I apologize if this has already been addressed, but I'm doing a rotation that uses the S&H series (which I love by the way!). Question: Is doing each body part just once a week enough to really build and define muscles? Also, I see that the body parts combined in S&H are different...

Hi Cathe! How important are off days in a rotation if working out with you is really the only exercise I get all day? I'm currently doing the December '06 rotation and after I work out in the morning, I sit at a computer all day, cook dinner for my husband, watch a little TV or study a little...

I really like that there are heavy weight series in the new 4DS, but I have to say it threw me to be lifting to a count that did not go with the beat of the music. I found myself turning my head to see where Cathe was so I knew if I was going too fast/too slow, but that isn't ideal for...

Hi Cathe, I just received your Slow & Heavy series and I watched them once to see what was coming and to note your weight selections. While preparing for the double arm row, your instructions indicated to pull your elbows up along side the body, then "retract your scapula" and then do the...

Hello all! I just completed the UB Pyramid which I hadn't done in a while and thought I was in the clear after that last bicep curl, but no, I forgot about that ab segment. I'm fine for the first couple of minutes, but somebody please tell me that that segment was not filmed immediately after...

Hi Cathe! I don't see any mention of the black gloves in the "equipment needed" section of the DVD. Are these slightly weighted or something to add more resistance to the upper body, or are they simply longer versions of regular weight lifting gloves...? Beth L.

Hi Cathe, I have trouble keeping my form with double arm rows, which I'm quite certain is due to a ridiculous lack of flexibility in my lower back rather than lack of back strength. I just can't hinge from the hip. I have Stretch Max. Are there any stretches in particular I should emphasize...

Yikes! Did anyone else require oxygen after first doing this workout! Holy cow Cathe kicked my butt from beginning to end! I refused to give up though. I modified the heck out of it, and figured each time will get better. Cathe, NOBODY makes me work - and gets me the results I want - like you...

I have been doing Cathe's workouts for nearly two years and yet I am only lifting maybe three pounds more on military presses (I'm talking maybe 12 pounds with grunts) than when I first started, and forget regular pushups. Everything other muscle group/exercise is progressing nicely, and cardio...
