    injury recovery rotation?

    Ouch - I've injured my ankles so I know what you are going through. I don't have a specific rotation - I think you can concentrate on upper body but don't stand - so do the moves seated - personally, I find doing the moves seated tougher. I'd stay off the stability ball. You can work your...

    ? about 4 DS

    Get the set. I was feeling exactly like you. In fact, I posted a similar question and many people said that they used it for the weiht workouts alone. I love the weight work and I use Bootcamp and kickbox. I haven't attempted the step workouts and probably won't for a while. I love the...

    determining weights to use - Cathe or Educated crowd

    Thanks everyone. I'm going to print this out. I think I have been guilty of lifting lighter for fear of injury. For example, I'm taking a short break from Cathe workouts (short break - I'm still using her cardio) and doing a 3 week AWT rotation. For shoulder press, I've always been...

    determining weights to use - Cathe or Educated crowd

    I need help determining what weights to use with the Cathe series I currently own. After reading the STS forum, I'm probably going to light. My question is, for muscle endurance, power hour and the circuit work, how much lighter do I use than for the Gym styles, Slow & Heavy, Pure strength...

    please help..

    RE: thank you You have so many options. Pre-mixes are your answers. For example, you could decide to work with one series, then look at the pre-mixes and design something. hardcore Gymstyles have premixes that run between 32 min. That could be your weight work. Choose cardio premixes...

    Helping you understand STS

    I wasn't going to pre-order because I was one of the people that thought it was so complicated but now it seems so simple. Hmmm - I may have to re-think things and pre-order.

    I hate being out of the loop and not preorder....BUT

    I'm not pre-ordering either. I'm waiting for Cathe's other projects. This new series is a bit too complicated and pricey for me. I'm having a ball with all of the other Cathe workouts I own. I still haven't figured out the step workouts on the 4D's and would you believe I have the slow and...

    STS - Do you plan to preorder?

    No for me - I'm lucky if I get 45min to an hour to work out. It just seems like too much of a comittment to one series and I get bored fast. It's very pricey for something I probably won't use much. Seems too complicated - I need simple and fast. I'll still read all the promo and...

    4 DAY SPLIT VERSUS CROSS TRAIN EXPRESS

    I like the cardio in 4D's much better. In fact, the only CTX I still have is the power circuit one - the one with the back work on it. I also have CTX upper body which I love. I just didn't find the CTX cardio fun - I don't know why. I love the 4D's kickbox and Bootcamp. I'm still working...

    why is gym style different?

    Gym Styles came out before the 4D's. She uses many of the classics but she uses the band also. I don't think she uses the band in any other previous series. I like them but I like her style of lifting - it's more endurance than Slow Heavy but you can still go heavy - I'm going by memory...

    before workout snack

    Not Cathe but I applaude you. I thought I was crazy to workout out at 7:30 a.m. and then walking the dog at 8:30 a.m. I salute you. I usually have a whole grain piece of bread or crackers with some protein for a quick snack - usually low fat cheese. I was trying just fruit but I found...

    Cathe or SNM any closer to STS info?

    Still enjoying and using the 4D's, along with all my other CATHE DVDs but was wondering how close you were to releasing more info about the new project? Thanks.

    4-DS is Fabulous!!

    I just got my set in the mail today. Naturally I had to dive right in. I had done Push/pull yest. so today I did the kickbox from the 4D and the abs from kickbox. I loved it! I picked it right up without previewing. It was just long enough to get my heart rate up and I didn't get bored...

    regarding rotations - does this every happen to you?

    As soon as I start a rotation, I want to do another one that uses different DVD's! I love Cathe's rotations but by the third week, I am craving those workouts not on the rotation, and I know I can do them next month! January I'm starting a 4D rotation but I bet I'll want to do whatever...

    Splits - would this work?

    Thanks. I plan on starting a 4D rotation in January. I'll probably add in a circuit so I can get in some extra cardio too.

    Splits - would this work?

    I am planning a month of splits - Slow & Heavy, P/S - Gym styles - 4D's and mis. other Problem is I feel I need to work upper body 2x. I usually use the pre-mixes on Gymstyle since I'm time crunched. So, would this be overtraining - I want to lift as heavy as I can on the splits:( my...

    Are there Cathe dvds that you hardly ever use?

    I have been pretty good at keeping only the ones I like - which is most. I traded Timesaver but only because I have the entire bodyblast series - which I LOVE. I don't do Drillmax - too high impact for me. I have a love/hate relationship with MIC - it kicks my butt everytime but I feel...

    4 day split pre-mix question

    Thanks. I'm going to order. I really should have pre -ordered because I always end up getting the latest series anyway. I love using Cathe's pre-mixes. Yest. I did the total body pre-mix from the pyramid DVD and it just reminds me how many workouts you really do end up getting on one DVD. I...
