I recently tried Cathe's Pure Strength series and absolutely love all three workouts. :-wow What a great introduction to Cathe.

Well, now I need some help. If I loved these workouts, which other tapes should I order? I am looking for intense strengthing and toning workouts to complement my cardio workouts.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
If you just want weight workout tapes I would wait for the new tapes to come out this summer. I think they will be a great compliment to the Pure Strength series.
 
I agree...

...with Susan, BUT in the meantime, if you don't want to wait for the new ones(it will be awhile before they are released), I would HIGHLY recommend the CTX-Series! It not only has great strength sections which include ALL body parts, but also cardio. You get a combination of Hi/Lo, Step & Kickbox. They are fun, fun tapes!! Just a suggestion. You will be happy with any tape you get. They are all great! Let us know what you decide!:7 Your-Friend-In-Fitness, DebbieH :)
 
Hey Runnerchick!

I too am a runner and have really benefited from Cathe's PS series. However, like anything, my body began to need a change. I find that depending on how many miles I put in a day, that just doing that extra upper body tape in the PS series was too much. I have recently bought MIS for this very reason. This tape is intense and thourough.It is in two parts: lower body first, then upper body, with a good ab section at the end. This has given me a much needed PS break and allowed me to keep up my intensity Strength training while focusing on my running and x-trainning.Hope this helps. Deb D
 
Thanks for all of the terrific suggestions! I knew I came to the right place.

My husband bought me MIS for Valentine's day, and I haven't tried it yet but now I think I will try it this afternoon!

I checked out the website and I think I will wait until summer and order the new series. Better for my wallet right now ;-) !

Thanks again for all the help.
 
Happy Running!!:-jumpy and happy lifting with "La Gran C". Cathe's strength tapes have helped my running soooo much-the combination of the two is a beautiful thing. Let us know what you think. Deb D
 
I would get anything Cathe has out now that has weight work including the CTX series and MIS, PLUS I would order her new tapes. If you have all those tapes, you can shake up your routine according to your needs. Cathe is the best!:7
 
Yep! Amen sister.

I have MIS fever right now. My hubby STILL does the PS series faithfully...I needed a break from them. Debbie H. suggested MIS and I am so pleased to have it to rotate. Before MIS I was taking the PS series and doing the excersises and doing them in a different order and going HEAVY AND SLOW ( without the video or course, I mean couldn't we all do them from memory by now?). Can't wait for the new vids. La gran C is the best!! DebD
 
Hi all.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I have been trying to post from work, but for some reason it just hasn't worked.

Well, I tried MIS and I have to admit that I am bummed -- bummed that I hadn't tried it sooner! Love, love, love that tape!

I decided to wait until summer and order the new tapes Cathe is working on now. Both my DH and my wallet breathed healthy sighs of relief. I figure they will make great birthday presents to myself in early June.

Thanks again for the suggestions. I am so glad I found Cathe and this forum!
 
The new...

...tapes will be a GREAT birthday present! Isn't MIS awesome? It used to be my very fav until I got the PS series,& then came along the CTX series. You will never be disappointed in any of the tapes and waiting on them for awhile will be good to "shake-up" your routine later. Have fun with MIS!!!:7

RE: The new...

Hey, Runnerchick ( just love that )!

So you've got MIS fever have you? So do I. Mind you, I just needed a PS break. I have the BodyMax tape also and will rotate that one in a few weeks, then back to PS and around it goes again until I get the new SLOW ans HEAVY tapes :-jumpy. So glad you are having a god time with it. Happy Running and, uh Dancing toooooooo:-jumpy:-jumpy:-jumpy. DebD
