Cross Train Xpress questions

[tombo]

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking to buy CTX. I like the idea that the workouts are all under an hour (which is about what I can realistically fit into my day) and the variety included is amazing.

I'm particularly interested in the kickboxing portion of CTX. Do I need a lot of space for these workouts like in Cardio Kicks (which didn't work for me)?

Any other info, comments or advice anyone can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Hi

I don't have cardio kicks, but I don't think that the CTX workouts take up a ton of space. There are a few moves that are hard for me to do in the space I have (like grapevines around my step), but I just modify. I have lots of side to side space, but not lots of forward and backward space, if that makes sense.

I'd say go for the CTX series. It's a lot of fun and there are tons of ways to mix and match it, especially if you get it on DVD.

In general, I find Cathe's CTX hi-lo and kickbox workouts to be space hogs, but that should keep you from buying the series, which is one of her best. For such short workouts they're all calorie killers!

I love this series. Right now there's barely any room in my basement because of lots of boxes all over the place. I haven't had any trouble using CTX though. The Kickbox surprisingly enough didn't need much space. Unlike CK. 10-10-10 used more space though but only the 10 minute kickbox portion and it was easy to just modify it. If you need to do moves around the step just don't move around the step and stay facing infront of the tv. It's such an awesome DVD.

Thank you for your replies!

I really like the idea of CTX and from everyone's descriptions I don't think I'd have a problem with space. I just got Timesavers and now I'm wondering if I should just use this for a while before thinking ahead toward "what next?"....

Thanks again for your help!

I just ordered CTX today. I debated between CTX and timesaver. CTX won. I'm sure I'll just get TS another time
:9 I just love what Cathe's w/o have done for me in the short time since I converted to her!!!

I agree! It's gotten to the point where I can't bring myself to workout with anyone else but her!

Let me know how you like CTX! Thanks!
