Aquajock, thanks for the response. :) It is definitely possible that I'm doing something different with the jacket on. I'm glad to hear that you didn't have any issues with the transition, as it reassures me that I just have to learn how to use the vest. Did it take long to get used to the...

Have you seen the series 6 FT under? I don't have HBO, so I've only seen the first season (it's out on DVD and Video). You might find some interesting nuggets there, or on their website. ~Audrey

My vest arrived while I was away. :) yippie I tried it for the first time on Monday with PLB. I put 10# in the vest and lowered the barbell weight. My shoulders were absolutely loving it. Step-ups felt fine, but lunges and squats were twinging my knees. I NEVER have this problem without...

I too can't wait for the mini step. BUT, don't wait on the S&H for it, cause you don't need the mini step for S&H. There are no step-ups in this tape. :) ~Audrey

Aquajock, thanks so much for the reply. I just ordered the 40#. I'll start with less weight of course, but that gives me a very good goal.. to be wearing all the weights. :) My shoulders thank you as they will be quite happy not to be lifting 50# overhead. ~Audrey

I finally got the barbell up to 50#'s yesterday for S*H Legs. :) But today I'm feeling that good soreness in the quads, and that not so good owies in the shoulder. My shoulders are a weak spot, the resilt of a car accident 4 years ago. I know I read something here about folks using a...

Absolutely! :) I do that(pause the DVD) if I find the weights I've selected are too heavy and I need to swap. ~Audrey

I have the old FIRM barbell with it's slide collars. I put all the weights out on the couch ottoman and I rest my barbell there between sets. I don't have any trouble keeping up, I even finish before Cathe sometimes. One day, the cat was sitting there, and I just put all the weights on the...

Wow! More DVD's? This is terrific. Cathe, I was a former Firmie, but hated that very little was available on DVD. I found your workouts when I went looking for DVD workouts. I tried Pure Strength, and within a week, I was back here ordering more. :) I guess everyone else here can relate...

Thanks! :) ~Audrey

Where does the Pure strength series fit in here? Thanks, ~Audrey:-)

I've sold off most of my non-Cathe workout tapes, I didn't seem to get as much of a workout, compared to the Cathe DVD's. The only DVD's I replaced (got rid of all TAPES) were my yoga ones. I use these to complement my Cathe workouts, though, not instead of. I have Yoga Zone DVD's and ones...

Thanks Liz! ~Audrey

Does anyone have the breakdown on the chaptering for the Pyramids Bonus workout? Thanks, ~Audrey

oh, so that explains why the media player kept loading this morning. I thought my computer was acting flaky again, and since I had to leave to visit a client, I left it alone. glad to see there was a reason.

When I was buying more weights a few weeks ago, the guy in the fitness store talked me into buying the pushup bars. I don't remember which DVD's I've seen Cathe and crew using them, but I found they make a difference. My wrists don't hurt like they did when they were flat on the ground. I'm...

We drink a lot of the flavored selzter in my house. The house brands of the various supermarkets are much cheaper, and often they're on sale as well (5 for $2 or something like that). We found that they seem to taste as good as the branded ones, so worth stocking up when they run those...

Janice - sorry, I didn't see that you were still having trouble. :( Deborah, I'm going to have to bow out of the challenge, unless you guys want a cheerleader. <g>. I have shoulder injuries from a car accident, and they act up when I overwork them. I ran this plan by my chiropractor and he...

Hi Janice, I've just opened another screen so I could look at the challenge and type here. <g> When you click on the dots, nothing changes in the top of your screen. But, the details of the workout and the calendar of the rotation show up BELOW the list of challenges. Just scroll down a...

Hi Deborah, I LIKE this one. :) Since I'll be in the conditioning phase for the beginning and off of cardio, can I join the challenge if I slide a day over and skip cardio? I see 5 weight workouts in 4 days, with 3 days close together so if I'm off cardio it might make sense for me to...
