I TIVO Cathe on FitTV. Does FitTV edit her workouts? Are they shorter than the actual DVD because of commericials, etc.? Thanks for the info.

Yes, you are not seeing the entire workout because of commercials. Many of the workouts are a full 60 minutes.

I use my DVR for Cathe too, and YES! They do cut out segments. I ended up just buying the DVDs because it was so frustrating having a commercial break in the middle of a combination. They cut 2 intervals out of IMAX 2. Of course, some of the shorter ones (like PUB, PLB) I think are complete because they're shorter workouts.
 
I have done PUB from FitTV. I Tivo it and fast forward real quick during commerials. If there is ab work at the end of PUB that is omitted on FitTV, but hey it's free (almost). I just started doing Cathe so I think I will use FitTV for a while and see if I can stick with it.
 
I love working out with Cathe, and I first learned of her from FitTV when I was channel surfing. But I hate the commerical breaks, they make no since and it is frustrating. They could wait until Cathe is done with a segment or heck just save the commericals until the end of the hour. I understand why they are there, but honestly it doesn't make since. The channel prides themself on fitness being so very important and they throw commericals in the middle of a workout. Anyhoo... the channel did turn me on to Cathe which made me buy over 20 dvd's from her, so it was a success for Cathe. :)
I still tune in when they air a tape I don't have to see if I will like it and by the end of the workout, I have already loged on and purchased it or added to my list for Christmas. I have been working out for over 4 years and never thought to check the tv for a workout, but once I saw Cathe, I wanted to accept her challenge.
 
I have so many Cathe's TIVO'd. Those commercials drive me crazy too. I am going to keep on using the workouts from FitTV and find out the ones I cannot live without. I do PUB, PLB, Chest and Back, Triceps and Biceps, ME, and something called Power Hour with Cathe Friedrich, I don't know which video that is. I also do Supersets. I have a ton tivo'd that I haven't done also. Like boot camp, lots of cardio, etc. I need to buy a new step! I have probably had 2-3 steps in my life and have gotten rid of them because I think that I will never do step aerobics again, and now look I am doing Cathe and I need those steps again!!

I am trying to find a good price on The Step. Walmart.com has the original Step for 50 something dollars, it has the tread on top. I find that Cathe uses the bench step in a lot of her workouts. I am torn on what to buy.
