Best place to start?

[winter2b]

Hi all,

I have been using the Firm and doing pretty well with them, and I'm looking for a little change - I thought I'd check out some Cathe videos because I hear such good things about them. They also look like TONS of fun! I'm a little nervous about getting the steps and also being able to make it through the workouts. Right now I am using the ones that are on FitTV, looks like most are from Body Blast. Any suggestions on how you did when you started this program? If I were to buy just one Cathe DVD to start with that would be a good one to grow with, what would it be?

I appreciate any suggestions you can offer! I am looking forward to burning off lots of fat with Cathe - about 20-30 pounds to go, and the wedding is only 53 days away (I know I can't lose ALL of that by then...but as much as possible). Then the honeymoon in March - so hopefully by then, I'll be looking and feeling wonderful!

If I could only start with one Cathe product, it would be the Cross Train Express (CTX) series on DVD. Mind you, this comes as a package of 2 DVDs, but you get six complete workouts, five of which have cardio and isolated-muscle upper body strengthening as well as ab work on four of them, AND a complete sixth workout dedicated almost exclusively to leg conditioning (this workout, "Leaner Legs" also has the best traditional ab routine Cathe's ever made).

The cardio is a good shuffle of step, step- and kick-box step leg circuits, hi/lo and floor kickbox. The strengthening routines focus on one upper body muscle group each workout. Cathe also created a premix on the second DVD of all of the upper body strengthening routines AND a premix of all of the ab routines. And both DVD's are chaptered to a certain degree so that you can do your own mish-moshing.

CTX series is great as A Jock says. I recommend the body blast series too.

Another vote for CTX to get started with. You get such a great variety and you can mix and match to your hearts content!

I vote for CTX too. It's a jackpot.
