I like Al. He's also what motivated my husband to try your workouts. Once he saw there were men in some of them, he gave it shot. Now, he's hooked. He hasn't found any other instructor that works him as hard or helps him get good results. I kept telling him that real workouts are for everybody and that he really needed to try at least some of your strength workouts, because his form was awful and you give such helpful instructions regarding form. But no... he kept buying the latest "fad" workouts with whatever guy was promoting it... until he saw Al on one of my DVDs. My husband started working out with your DVDs that had men in them, finally understood that your workouts work for both genders, and started doing them all. He's much healthier now. Plus, we don't have to have a garage sale every year to get rid of all of the junkie workouts he was doing before. My husband really isn't normally "gender biased". I think the reason he didn't think working our with a woman would work is because I'm really petite and have different fitness goals than he does. So, when I didn't "bulk up" doing your workouts, he didn't think they'd work for him and his goals. Thanks Cathe and Al! You've both made an incredible difference in my husband's health recently. You'd been helping me with my fitness for years, but being healthy didn't bring me much satisfaction when I was spending my time worrying about my my husband's weight, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc. Now, he's fitter and healthier and I have less to worry about, which helps with my mental wellbeing.
