New Cathe workout user

[ckanuckel]

Hi there. I would consider myself in an advanced fitness level. I used The Firm for years and just recently got acquinted with Cathe's tapes. Wow, what a boost to my workout! I just have one concern. Will I get bigger when using more and heavier weights than I have in the past? I'm 5'2", 110 lbs. sz 4. I don't want to get bigger, just more defined. The tapes I've purchased are: Upper & Lower Body Pyramid, Low Max, Circuit Max, Step Works, Maximum Intensity and Imax 2. Are these good choices and how should I rotate?
Thanks so much,
Christine

Hi Christine! I'm not Cathe, but I may be able to give you some advice. I'm also 5'2", 115 lbs., size 3-4 and I would also consider myself to be advanced. When I increased in weight I really didn't get a whole lot bigger, just harder. For more definition though, I like using medium weight and doing lots of reps. It all depends on your body type too, though.
It sounds like you have a good variety of videos (but I have questions about mine, too.) I've posted several messages about the topic of choosing videos myself, with almost no responses at all. Good luck!

Write back if you want to compare, b/c I have a few different videos than you.
