Hi Cathe,
This is the first time I have posted to the site, although I have been following for quite some time. I wanted to say that your workouts changed my life. I was very ill last September and was bedridden for 2 months. Once done, I was emaciated with a lot of muscle wasting. I could barely climb stairs. I couldn't pick up my son (who was 4 yrs old). First I started with basic step. I remember buying BodyMax 2 before I was even anywhere close to trying it. I watched a clip and thought, "that looks like FUN! I want to do that - I will do that." And the first time, I completed the program, I laughed through the last 10 minutes of the cardio, because I could not believe I actually did do it!
I moved on to other videos and now am getting ready to try Cross Fire and To the Max. Needless to say, there has been a lot of progress! Now instead of saying, "Mommy, why are you so tired?" My son says "Mommy, you are so strong." At 38 I am now in the best physical and cardiovascular shape I have been in since my early 20's. I did it all with your workouts.
There is also a tremendous psychological gain through exercise. When a person is ill at a relatively young age, it is very demoralizing and scary. I was able to get a profound sense of empowerment through challenging myself and advancing through your videos. Even my physician is on board. Whenever I would have a minor health setback, it was never an option to stop exercising. He simply suggested I modify when needed, or use a premix if I was feeling weak or tired on a particular day. (Those premixes really helped!) He knew that sticking with exercise was integral to my recovery. Your programs have kept me engaged, challenged and ultimately have provided me with amazing results.
I know there are many stories like mine. I wanted to thank you for constantly striving for excellence and delivering a very high quality product. I have quite an expansive library of your videos now, and hope to work out with you for many years to come.
Stay cool!
