I say you/we are all athletes! I compete with myself every morning when my body is tired from a previous workout and I just don't feel like it. If I do the workout then I WIN! If someone is passing out donuts at work and I don't eat one I WIN! To me, being an athlete is more about conquering...

Janis Saffell also has a workout called Hardcore Kickobx circuit which alternates cardio routine with upper- and lower-body strength training. I like it much better than Strike Zone. Overall, 10 minutes of warmup (including pushups, punches, jacks and twists), 40 minutes of cardio and about 15...

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I have never tried water aerobics before but it sounds like a great workout and just what I need to try to keep up my cardio. JJ Good luck on your black belt exam. It can be tough but a Catheite like yourself should be able to handle it! I also went to...

Thanks everyone. I knew that waiting would be the smart thing to do. I was just hoping someone had seen something new that would have allowed me to continue. I will rest the foot (pout,pout) :)

Hello all, I broke my foot about 2 months ago(slipped off bench at 5:00am workout doing BODYMAX, sheessh). I thought it was just a bad sprain so I kept working out with an ankle brace. My foot would swell a little but I could manage. I am also a black belt in TaeKwonDo so I continued to...

I participated in our regional taekwondo torunament this weekend and am proud to report that I won 1st place the Men's(over 35 years Old) Purple Belt Championship in both traditional forms and free sparring. I owe it all to my conditioning from the Cathe video's, fitness advice from this forum...

Hey Maximus, Have you tried to clean it. My DVD's sometimes freeze and skip when they are dirty.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their encouragement. Well, I am still working out and still on track to receive black belt in taekwondo in December(I am currently a purple belt). I love the new hardcore series and am looking forward to the next series.

She would take "BOATCAMP"!!!! .Duh....haha

I went through the same thing when I started Cathe workouts, but you should know that if you keep trying you will eventually learn all the step routines. Congrats on the weight loss and keep up the good work!!

Val, I personally would recommend the Pyramids, Powerhour, MIS and the Pure Strength Series for strength and endurance. Also consider the Slow and Heavy series but be warned that it is a killer but will probably be the most effective in building size! He could also use Bootcamp but is more...

Thanks Lunacat. I got yesterday and when I saw your post this morning I realized you had sent before. I for some dumb reason thought your name would really be "LUNACAT". Duh!!! x(

Lunacat , I would like a copy also please. Send to [email protected] Thanks in advance.

U R not alone. 4:45 every morning before work for me. If I don't do it then, something always comes up and I can't force myself to do it after dinner/before bed.

If he can't get a good burn on PUB, Powerhour, MIS or Slow and Heavy using the weights Cathe uses then he must be in great shape. I can bench press 250 lbs 6 times but I almost cry during the dumbbell flye/dumbbell press portions of the Pyramids.x( I have the strength but have not gotten use to...

Just my 2 cents but I am not sure if "intimidation" is the emotion guys feel. I think guys like to do workouts that we feel are "manly" for sake of a better term. I initially did not feel comfortable doing step aerobics because you don't see very many guys in the class and a lot of the moves...

I also bought the inserts called 'Heel That Pain". They cost 24.95 but after wearing them for 2 months the pain has gone away. They did take some getting used to at first but they were worth every penny.

I will be 45 years ago this May. 12 years ago, my wife and I had been members of a local gym and had done step aerobics and lifted weights. After we started having children (2 boys ages 10 and 6), going to the gym was not practical so we started exercising with videos. We started doing Step...

I use this DVD and I think its is great. The workout is fairly intense in my opinion. I study TaeKwonDo and Janice Saffell and Guillermo Gomez use great form and do a lot of the kicks and punches I use for martial arts. There are also short toning sections of squats and dumbbells. The cast...
