Is it possible to hear the background exercisers?

Hi, Cathe--

Is there any way you could maybe set up microphones in the studio so that we could hear the background exercisers? In the Intensity Series, I can hear Cedie a little bit, and I must say, when I do hear her, she's usually either cracking me up or saying exactly what I'm thinking at that moment! I think it's in ME when you're doing the glute lifts, and we're on the 2nd leg, and you ask her to help you count. We all know it's going to be a looong 24 reps, and when you ask for her help, Cedie says really loudly, "ONE," as if to say, we've got a long way to go! And then another time, you can hear her say "OW" like she's in pain; I forget what we're doing, but I know I'm thinking "OW" right along with her! Anyway, I think it would be great fun to be able to hear what everyone's saying; almost like being in a real class. You guys seem to have so much fun, and you can see you laughing a lot, and it would be great to hear what's going on (unless it's stuff we shouldn't be hearing!;-) ). Maybe it would be too distracting, but if it's possible, I think it would make your workouts even more fun than they already are.

Thanks!

p.s. I love the new series! Thanks again for all your hard work!

If I can politely put in my .02... I like the videos just as they are. I think the background chatter could be too distracting.

Hi Marie! Thanks so much for your suggestion, however, I have actually witnessed other people film this way and it can get very distracting if all start spontaneously saying things at once. But it was still nice to hear your input. Thanks again

On a side note, I agree with you....Cedie just cracks me up too. She gets us all going with her funny remarks both on and off camera. If you could only hear us laughing in the dressing rooms while getting ready to film, that's our Cedie...we love her :*

Thanks for the reply, Cathe! I kind of figured that's why you didn't do it, but I really did enjoy even those few little comments I could hear from Cedie--she is funny! Those few moments of laughter make you forget the pain for a minute!

Thanks again!

I was thinking the same thing because I hear Cathe ask Cede the count and I thought it would be cool if we could hear them also!! By the way I think Cede is soooo cool!!!!
I also love the series and can't wait for more!! I think SJP is my most favorite one though LOL.

How about a "behind the scenes" segment on the DVD?

I am VERY GLAD that you will not be miking the background exercisers. I like things just as they are and, as you say, the excess "chatter" can be very annoying--well, you said confusing, but...especially on repeated hearings.
