Hi Cathe,
I was a little worried when you posted that you would be featuring familiar tunes with vocals on the new series. All I could think was faithful remakes of tired top forty tunes or Motown Hits. Blechh!
I am so glad to see that the familiar songs are remakes that sound very different than the original. I am also glad to see that you feature many songs that are not recognizable.
I was worried when I read that "Cold as Ice" would be one of the songs, but it sounds so different!
(O.k., I am not a huge fan of "Buttercup" or "Pina Colada", but I don't expect perfection.)
So far I have done Cardio&Weights and IMax 2. I love them both.
Thanks so much for the great workouts with motivating music.

I also love the music - I've seen some complaints about the vocals but it is a nice change. Elvis's song is my favorite!
 
I love the "Cold as Ice" song, for some reason, I don't remember the original one though? Who sang it?
Part of that song sounds like that Taylor Dayne song "Tell it to my Heart" but maybe she used parts of Cold as Ice?

Anyway, I wanted to also say that I love the new music- I was also worried it would be sweatin-to the oldies type music by the description! (nooo!) I like technoish music to workout to, and this is great, very motivating!!!

I like the noises on Bootcamp that sound like a video game shooting gun or something-when you go up for airborn jacks and it makes shooting noises everytime you spread em! he he he!!!
Thanks Cathe! SNM!!
 
Hey Jaime! It's Weezer, like my username? Anyway, I think the 'cold as ice' song MIGHT be foreigner, whaddya think?

Had to add on: Cathe, I love the new series, love the music, and love Cedie, tell her she can keep on WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOING all she wants! She was probably just excited she gets to hang out with you, wear cute outfits, and get free Ryka shoes, I know I would be!
 
Hi Jaime,

The original artist on Cold As Ice was Foreigner. I like Foreigner's classic rock stuff, but not too fond of the remix. I'm sure it will grow on me as everything else has. I also (dating myself here) had the record - a 45 no less! - with Rupert Holmes Escape (aka the Pina Colada song). :D

My favs right now are the "Rainmaker" (which is in IMax2 and the Pyramids) and "crazy on you" & "Time is Ticking Away"(both Imax2). Oh and then there's the Pina Colada song... that's just so much fun! During interval #9 when you just want to die, the music changes at EXACTLY the right moment and I swear it gives me a second wind. Cathe's funny when she says something about "a great song when you're not feelin' so great."

:) I am just thrilled with the music in these vids!
 
I LOOOOOOOVE the Buttercup song! :)

Actually, I thought all of the music was very good. It was all very motivating.

Overall, I LOVE the music too. Especially the remix of Heart's "Crazy on You". I also had a little chuckle last night during PLB when the Miami Vice and Magnum themes came on :D . At least I think it was during PLB (I did PUB the night before, and I'm soooooooo sore from both my memory/brain is failing! ):7

I love the music on these new workouts! The remakes of the songs really get me grooving in th morning!:7
 
I LOVE the music on the Intensity Series -- especially the Elvis and the Buttercup song! Actually, I was never even a fan of Heart, but I Love "Crazy on You!"

I think it is Cathe's best soundtrack ever!
 
Yep. The Elvis song is my favorite too. Whenever it says, "Satisfy me," I always jump higher, contract harder, etc. I love "Buttercup" Pina Colada" "Crazy On You" "Tell It To My Heart/Cold As Ice" "The Rainmaker" - oh heck, I love all the music. Ooooh and I don't know the name, but the music during the cardio sections of Boot Camp is super motivating too!!!! Thanks Cathe for doing such a stellar job on the new series!
 
I too like the music. I thought it funny this morning while doing PUB that Cathe had Cold as Ice playing while she was making force out those 15# bicep curls. Somehow, the song fit. :7
 
My Intenstiy Series videos were delivered to my sunroom at my house today about noon. I'm sitting here at work drooling for it to be six o clock so I can race home to them.

I love Buttercup and The Pina Colada song so I know the music is really gonna be right up my ally, probably my fav so far.

Who wants to find an excuse to go home early today }( :9
 
Which workout is Pina Colada on? I heard that song tonight & wondered if it was the same one everyone's talking about, and I see that it is!!

That sounds almost too slow for workouts? I only have C & W, so I know it's not that one!

I'm curious.. I like the Somebody's Watching Me song on C&W.

Ooh I forgot about "Somebody's Watching Me," that is a good one. "Pina Colada" is on Imax II during Intervals 9 and 10. It is a great song for a tough interval! It is a remix so it has a faster beat than the original. Man I love that Elvis song!
 
Isn't it funny? I never liked the original Pina Colada and now I can't stop singing it. I am just blown away by the soundtrack on this series....it makes me look forward to grueling workouts!

I like that "Party" song on Cardio and Weights too!

But the Elvis remake is my favorite.

I liked Buttercup as a kid and this new version makes me smile every time I hear it on the video!

I am happier than a kid with her first new car with this series. I was excited when UPS arrived, but I get more excited everytime I do a new video from this seris. It's the best money I've spent on ANYTHING in a long time -- I am in workout heaven!

Anyone who is debatating about whether or not to buy any of the videos in this series, don't hesitate! It's the best workout series ever made -- Cathe even topped herself with this one!

I hate to keep asking this, but does anybody know why Hope and Lisa aren't on any of the videos? I miss them, although I love the new cast members lots!
 
Regarding Cedie, I WOOOOO along with her. I saw some complaints about her WOOOOOOOOOOing but she's enthusiastic and motivates me. She's always been one of my favorite cast members as as far as I'm concerned she can WOOOOOOO all she wants --

I love all the noises in "Boot Camp" too -- what a workout!

And what bodies on all the cast members! I've noticed Brenda looks better every video!

Oh, how do people get their photos in the forum?
 
Holly!!! (Weez) I like your name here!!! LOL!
I want to be Cathe disciple numero dos!!!
:)

I love LOVE LOVE the Rockwell song "Somebody's watching me" I haven't gotten to Cardio and Weights yet, but I LOOOOVE that song!!!

I like the song on Cardio and Weights that says "You want this party started, right?" (The first Cardio) I previewed it, and loved it!

The soundtrack on this series IS SO GOOD!
It makes me very happy!!!
:)
