Hi all. I just wanted to say and how much I LOVE this board! I have been doing Firm workouts forever and just started doing Cathe's from fittv this week. After 5 workouts I already have tighter feeling abs. Cathe rocks!! I joined the board last night and already have learned a lot from all of you.

I realize that fittv cuts off a LOT of the workout, so I am interested in buying some of my own. I am in pretty good shape so I don't need totally beginner workouts. My question is what are 3-5 workouts to start a basic collection with? I can't afford more than a few right now and will continue to use some of the fittv stuff, but want to have some of my own.

Suggestions? TIA!
Jill
 
Welcome Jill. You can buy the ctx series dvd with diferents cardio (hi/low, step , kicbox)and weight training.In the dvd you will find a compilation of the abs of the 6 workouts and an upper body split with all upper body weight training together, or the BB series with lot of premixes. After that you can buy the IS dvd with lot of premixes too.Welcome.

Hi Jill! WELCOME to Cathe's place! I think a nice starter would we the CTX Series. It has a lil' bit of everything: Step, Hi/Lo, Kickbox, Intervals, Circuits and also a tape that is all legs. It would give you a nice mixture of everything Cathe does including great AB/Core work. The DVD is the best way to go if you can go that route since it has an UB workout too and an all ABS workout. You really cannot go wrong with any Cathe workout because eventually, you will probably have them all. :7 Let us know what you decide. Glad to have you here!

Great minds think alike!!! Looks like we posted at the same time. I'm glad you posted too because I forgot to mention that the workouts include weight/strength work. Good Luck Jill!

RE: Ha Stayfit!

RE: Ha Stayfit!

Wow!Thanks! Only one problem, I just bought 2 of those individually last night! Is there a link to all of the BB series? How about Intensity? Is that too hard to start with? I've done Muscle Endurance, Power Hour, Boot Camp, Cardio & Weights, Push Pull, and Super Sets and handled them okay......?
Jill

Each of the following can be found by either the first or the second number. You'll notice there are gaps in the numbering of title 1. These are very short (under 30-second) breaks to rest or switch equipment. If you were to play all of title 1 ("play program"), these breaks would be included. Playing title 2 (select "warm-up" from the Mix & Match menu - the rest of the segments will play in order) would result in a workout without any of these short breaks. You can also do this by programming your DVD player to play "Title 1; Chapter All" or "Title 2; Chapter All."

Muscle Endurance (65 min)

Numbering refers to title.chapter. Weights used by Cathe are in brackets FYI. I scribbled them down as I was doing the workout, and there are a few blanks, so please correct any errors you might find.

Pre-Mixes

The numbering is for the title only. If you wish to program any of these in, all you have to do is program "title x; play all," and you're done. I'm amazed at how well this DVD is chaptered. It would have been nice to see a Cardio & Upper Body premix though. All premix times are courtesy of AnnePep's wonderful "Cathe DVD times" post. Thanks, Anne!

Boot Camp

3 - Cardio only (19:13)

Muscle Endurance Chapters

Numbers in brackets are the title.chapter to which each of the below points. The rest of the workout will continue in order from that point.

Warm-Up [13.1]
Leg Press #1 [13.2]
Leg Press #2 [13.8]
Leg Press #3 [13.16]
Abs [13.22]
Stretch [13.23]

Muscle Endurance Mix & Match

A list of each of the 23 sections listed above in the chaptering. Choosing 1 will play all following sections in order.

PH is a great endurance weight training like ME but PH is like a Body Pump class working one muscle with each song. I have PP and SS but I didn't do those workouts. I prefer use ME ,PH or the ctx upper body split.I usually do the C & W step premix .It is great to warm the muscles before the weight training. I would prefer buy IMAX 2 an not PP or SS now.

If you have bought two of the ctx workouts in VHS and you want the dvd (believe me it is very useful) you will have to cancel the orders. You can send a mail to SNM. Hope this helps.

RE: Ha Stayfit!

Oh sorry if I wasn't clear! I don't have any yet---I've taped all of those from fittv. But I realized that a lot is cut out, so I'm looking to buy the workouts on vhs and dvd if possible. Sorry for the confusion! And the two I purchased last night were from Amazon.

RE: Ha Stayfit!

The IS is very hard to start with, but what can I say ? The IS is the best Cathe's series for me. In the IS you have a marvellous workout,bootcamp. Everytime I do Bootcamp the times flys. Today I have done the cardio and lower body premix (34 minutes) and the dvd is full of great premixes. ME is fantastic. I usually do the upper body premix. IMAX 2 has a music very motivating, Cathe is going to uses the same company in the IMAX 3 workout, and C & W leave you without breath. There is no rest between the cardio and the weight segments.Great. The pyramids are strenght weight workouts. I love the exercises with the stability ball in PLB. You are going to feel them in your glutes in the next day. Believe me.Great, fun.
I love these dvd don't you think so?

RE: Ha Stayfit!

Hi Jill!,

I can see you've had lots of good advice from two of our best, so I'll just say "welcome"!

Have fun...glad you're here!
Ruth:) :)
 
RE: Ha Stayfit!

Hi Jill,

If you go to the top of the page, just under the huge "Welcome to the Cathe Forums", click the tab for DVDs. You can scroll down and click on "Tell me More" for any of the DVDs. Then on the page of the description of individual DVDs, on the right hand side, there's a link to video clips you can view. (I know this works for most of them, anyway) The clips are almost 10 minutes long, and you can get a good idea from watching them.

Since you can handle BootCamp, you can pretty much handle the intensity of Cathe - that's one of her toughest. Did you like the step sections of Cardio and Weights? Then you might like to try Step Blast. If you are looking for a versatile weight-lifting workout, I'd recommend the Pyramid DVD.

I think you have to make your decision based on what equipment you have, or want to invest in. Also what kind of cardio do you like? Most of Cathe is step, but I could recommend Kick, Punch, Crunch if you don't like step.

The BodyBlast and Intensity Series DVDs offer great chaptering and premixes. I think it is well worth the money to invest in the DVDs instead of VHS. Not only can you do the workouts as presented on the DVDs, you can select a premix to fit your time schedule, or choose to do portions (say, upper body only on Muscle Endurance), or get a whole new workout by combining the original two in a new way! All that work has been done for you by the DVD, so you don't need a programmable DVD player.

Good grief, this is starting to sound like a sales pitch! It's late and I guess I got bored watching Trading Spaces.

As others have said, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose - and eventually you'll end up getting them all anyway.

Have fun shopping!

Diane
 
RE: Ha Stayfit!

Thanks you guys for spending so much time helping me!!
Diane-first things first---I will never buy a vhs again unless the dvd version isn't available! Vhs just doesn't age well. :)

I love step and I recently started doing kickboxking. KP&C was the first Cathe one I taped off fittv and I love it. Doing it today as a matter of fact. I think variety is really the key to sticking with a workout plan (I also have a treadmill and elliptical machine). I have the Firm's fanny lifter and sculpting stick, a club size step box that inclines (also Firm), ankle weights, and dumb bells from 2-10 pounds. My goal is to increase my weights and get a more cut look-I can only DREAM of looking like Cathe herself lol!

The only thing I don't want is "old" stuff-you know, the step ones with the thong and lace pants lol. I am getting rid of my Firm old stuff for that reason-I find it kind of distracting thinking of how silly they look in those 80s clothes ha ha. I'm going to spend some more time watching clips today and make a decision.

Thanks!
Jill
PS-Thanks for the welcome Ruth!
 
I just wanted to say hi Jill from Lowcarbfriends and fellow firmie! I have moved on from the FIRM almost completely and am jumping into Cathe, too. When I saw your name I had to finally register and say hi!:)
 
Hiya Heather!! I am seeing a few familiar "faces" over here. Julia has gotten some results after incorporating Cathe, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've done 6 workouts in 5 days and I swear I can feel a difference already! Someone said it may be due to just switching up. I am doing all Cathe until Christmas to see what happens. I miss some of the BSS3 Firm workouts cuz I love the incline box, but I find myself with a renewed sense of WANTING to do my workout asap every day! I am getting rid of some of the Firms I don't use much (or at all!) to make way for Cathe. A new (healthy) addiction has been born lol.
Jill
 
Welcome to the forums Jill - Let us know what you decide.

And yes, you MUST get the DVD's -they give you endless options with the chaptering and all the premixes. Heck, you'll soon be like the rest of us and want them all!

Have a great night, Wendy
