    Ripped w/ HiiT... not hard enough ;(

    She comes along now and then and posts things like this - there are several such threads. It's obnoxious. What is also interesting is that if you go to her web site there are no real pictures of her, just of her "clients." Beachbody has a new workout series that is even more extreme than...

    HIIT with bad back

    Can't believe I never came back to this. Thank you both - especially for the mention of jumping. That answers it right there - all of Cathe's videos with high jumps (air jacks, for instance) are impossible for me, both because I live in an apartment and don't want to land in my neighbors'...

    HIIT with bad back

    I'm considering buying the HIIT 40/20 download, but looking at the preview video I'm a bit worried about it being too high-impact for me. I do have a bad back (and downstairs neighbors!); normally I'm fine with Cathe's videos but things like jump-tucks just kill me. Do-able anyway? Also - my...

    TravelFit thoughts/recommendations for others?

    I DO have a lot of workouts via digital download.I didn't know you could use the workout blender on that - thanks! Off now to learn how it works (I assume there's info somewhere on the site!) That was a great suggestion.

    TravelFit thoughts/recommendations for others?

    thanks, everyone, for your comments. I should have pointed out that I travel ALL the time and have been doing workouts in hotel rooms for about 20 years now (either making audio tapes of videos or more recently doing DVDs). I've found that there are many, many workouts that work very well in...

    TravelFit thoughts/recommendations for others?

    Just tried TravelFit for the first time and was way disappointed. I knew the aero was going to be limited from previous posts, but I found the bandwork also pretty much intermediate/beginner level. This is the fourth new Cathe workout (post-Imax1) I've tried and found really unsatisfying. Can...

    Which of the KB workouts are the hardest?

    Just did the boxing for the second time. I think it's a really good beginner/intermediate workout. It's not for advanced or advanced-intermediates, and you need to know the basic moves before doing it (which is why I'd say "intermediate" level rather than just "beginner" ) but for someone...

    Which of the KB workouts are the hardest?

    I certainly didn't mean to be rude - I just was expressing disappointment because I have, as I said in the post, been devoted to Cathe's workouts for 13 years or so. I apologize if that's a bad thing to say. Other people have also said that they didn't like this workout as much as some of the...

    Which of the KB workouts are the hardest?

    Strange - I posted something yesterday about how disappointed I was in this workout, and how I think that Cathe's workouts are not as challenging as they once were. Can't find that post anymore. Was it cut? Are members not allowed to say this kind of thing?

    Premix Download

    But shouldn't it be possible for you to simply make a download of the various premixes possible, so that someone who bought the download of a DVD could also get those as well?

    waist, abs, and bad back

    I hope I'm posting this in the right forum. I've been doing Cathe videos since about 1996 or so, along with Firm classics. But as I reach 50 (!), I definitely can see that I need to work out harder for the same results. Along the way, though I've not really gained weight, my waist has gotten...

    LIC V. Low Max

    I also really like them both. What I enjoy about LIC is that you can do it with no music, as the music on that particular DVD really grates on my nerves. And I think the weight work is excellent. But I do find that Low Max is a tougher workout in terms of cardio. I absolutely agree that having...

    Calorie burns

    I could swear I saw something somewhere that explained how you can work out the calorie burns of all of Cathe's workouts on the Workout Manager, but I can't figure it out. Can someone help? Also - is there a place to find an updated version of the list that rates the workouts by difficulty? The...

    older step videos vs newer ones

    okay, so I guess it's not just me, though that's kind of disappointing, as I sort of always felt that the workouts would progress over time. I get the sense that, like the Firm, Cathe workouts have gotten a bit easier to accommodate a wider public. That said, I know that I can't even begin to...

    older step videos vs newer ones

    How do some of you compare the older workouts (Power Max, Step Works, Body Max1) to the newer ones? I tend to find that they're actually more challenging and that the newer step workouts have gotten easier - but am curious whether others find the same. I'm especially wondering whether the Low...
