I think Shape does have rather thin models, but I do believe they offer sound advice. I have never bought Oxygen or M&F Hers, just scanned them in the stores and I cannot see that they are presenting any more realistic or healthy image of women than the other mags listed. I guess I just do...

Have fun!

RE: Hey Linda! I agree, if you are going to spend money on a piece of fitness equipment, this is definitely the piece with which to do it. I bought my step 10 years ago. It was 90 dollars. I have gotten so much use out of it. It is as good as new too. If you are at eight inches on your step...

Hello, Wayne Westcott is a name you often see in fitness related articles. he may also be seen explaining the interval concept at the beginning of Karen Voight's Energy Sprint. He is affiliated with the south shore YMCA in Massachusetts. I always remember this because I used to live on the...

Hi StepQueen, Usually I combine the step part of this tape with another step tape. Last time I did it, I did the warm up and first section of Step Jam and then the step portion of MIC. I did the the whole thing through once, but it just gets a little too boring for me. I prefer floor aerobics...

LAST EDITED ON May-12-01 AT 02:39PM (Est)[p]Hi Chris and Aimee, Thanks for the advice. Christine, you raise a good point. Soon summer will be here and I will be doing a LOT more swimming. I know I really don't like working my upper body so much then because I cannot swim as far/long without...

Hi Cathe (or anyone else who may help), Would I be able to maintain my muscles lifting just once a week (with a tape such as MIS). I do not really care about developing my muscles any further, but do not want to lose strength. Thanks in advance.

I know exactly what you speak of. Last fall, I was running and twisted my ankle. Down I went. One knee got quite bloody. A couple of women went past me and offered no help. It was only when I was walking by some middle schoolers did I hear "Are you going to be o.k? Do you need some help?"...

Hi Lex, This is very interesting. The FDA/Searle story is kind of horrifying. It is scary that stuff like that goes on all the time (cashing in on government contacts). I personally think diet sodas are a pretty bad drink choice. Why not go with water most the time and have the occasional...

Hi Glenn, I think Cathe has given very sound advice. I saw in an earlier post that you talked about growth hormone. I have been meaning to respond to this for some time. Growth hormone has several functions, but keeping you from aging is not one of them. Excess growth hormone in children and...

Hi Noonian, I would recommend Step Max or The Wedding Video. Neither of these tapes have the large, skipping away from the step steps that require more room. Step Heat is another one.

I am impressed!

RE: Natalie But still, I would like the Rhythmic Step/Power Hour option.

Hi Marga, I have not tried Christi yet, but I adore Kari's tapes. For step I recommend United Steps and Great Moves 202.

Hi mjean, That's great that you were able to get a Cathe tape from your library. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think that either Step Max, Step Jam, or Step Heat would be a good next choice. Step Jam is probably the most complex of these three, but the moves really flow well together. This was...

If you are looking for fun... go with Step Fit, Power Max, Step Jam or Cardio Kicks. If you are looking for tapes that will kick your butt...Body max or Circuit Max.

Hi Kim, Do you mean will you be able to maintain your aerobic capacity doing these (slightly) less intense tapes? I would say yes! They still provide a great workout. Besides, I am a firm believer in mixing up workout intensities. I certainly have less intense tapes than Power Max (let alone...

You have Cathe's most intense videos. Power Max, Step Jam, and Step Works are a little less intense. Still, your heart rate will get in your training zone. They are all great choices. I adore Power Max and Step Jam (I am more lukewarm on Step Works- but I am in the minority here). Step Fit is...

HI Terri, How do you like 9907. I was thinking of making this my next video purchase. (When ever that is.)

RE: Don't need new... I do not think the old covers are "perfect" by any stretch of the imagination, but it is extra cost to Cathe and the environment.
