Hi gang,
I've been reading some of the threads and I'm very impressed by the quality of information. I feel encouraged and motivated as I read on.
This is will be a longish post, please indulge me.
I've seen Cathe's name and dvds come up regularly in the videofitness.com forums. I'm a high intermediate excersizer and for several weeks - months even - I've been on a semi-plateau. I've lost 53 lbs in the past 2 years. Last October I deepened my commitment to a healthy lifestyle. In that time, my average weight loss was 5 lbs a month. Now, I lose a pound or 2, then maintain or sway for several weeks. Frustrating. x(
I think it's time I increase the intensity of my workload and Cathe F seems to be the go-to instructor for advanced classes. I need to take it to the next level.
I have some issues with my knees (just have to be careful) and my back so I've been reluctant in doing step classes. I recently started doing Karen Voight's Energy Sprint and I liked it. Still, I don't see myself doing step more than twice a week, to be safe. Complex step moves aren't for me, especially since I'm new to it.
I'd like suggestions on Cathe videos that don't require buying new equipment such as: bar bells etc. I'm in a small space and travel frequently so anything that requires big/heavy equipment and floorspace is a problem. So far, I see Kick Max as the only non equipment dvd. Are there more?
The KPC & Legs/Glutes has gotten such great reviews that I'm even considering getting a stability ball (easy for travel). I like that it's a high intensity, low impact cardio routine. Those are hard to find.
I'll be traveling again in about 6 weeks, but I'm willing to give some of Cathe's step workouts a try in that time. I have some mini-goals set for that time and I think this could help.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
