RE: Circuit Max
Hi Anna
Its good to see you got your sister on board.
Circuit Max is great!
I really enjoy it. Its starts with a floor warm up with kickboxing moves 2 cycles of hi/lo in between them leg work and shoulder work with weights, 2 Kickboxing cycles one on the floor one on the step and 2 step cycles in between each cycle leg and arm work.
I can do the tape all the way through with mods but they are getting less and less. I have also found it easier on my knees than a lot of her other tapes. Its a good tape I use it for cardio but when I get stronger and can lift heavier I will use it as part of a weight work rotation.

. . . through my tears . . .
I know what you mean! I've done a lot of other video stars' workouts (my previous favorite was Kathy Smith, and I still recommend her workouts to novice exercisers), and none of them have the personality of Cathe! I can't believe I smile when I'm working so hard!
Anna, if I may butt in on your question about Circuit Max (and Cardio Kicks) - both are awesome! I like Circuit Max somewhat more than Cardio Kicks for several reasons - a bit less recovery and transition time during the unweighted cardio segments, a wonderful mix of hi/lo, kickbox and step, fun fun fun music and some hysterical asides on Cathe's part ("They're looking great {her studio crew}, I can hear it!"). I use Circuit Max strictly with a heavy (for me) barbell and squats and lunges during the weighted segments, but most others here do the workout as produced with compound lower / upper body weighted segments.
I think you'd enjoy both! Cardio Kicks is straight-up SAFE kickboxing, and the demands on the body, both upper and lower, are refreshingly different from step or hi/lo!

I think I have said before I started with CTX I used a body bar because I wasn't sure about lifting weights (it sounds crazy now).
Are you getting your new orders thorough CK Sales I may give them a try when I next order.
Oh and I'm doing a bedroom sort clearing books and clearing a load of vids I no longer use (all sorts including Beverly Callard I think I did them twice).

Hi Babs,
Yes, I will definitely be ordering through CK Sales, as the exchange rate is a lot better ( and they stock Powerstrike, which is intriguing me !). The shipping is tons better, and I got my first two cathe videos a week after I ordered them. When I order my 4 vids next week, the shipping will be between £10-£11, which I think is a bargain !
Babs, which vids are you sorting out ? I may be interested ?

Yes!
Powermax, go, go, go!!!!!!!!!
This is the one video above all others that makes me grin like the Cheshire cat and I feel so happy throughout even as the quads and butt scream to get me even higher on those "Power L's" in the second section. Love that move!
Happy, happy, happy, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
Sorry, just thinking about it makes me feel good... maybe this afternoon, instead of grading papers....
Enjoy!
