Okay, all you folks who've been encouraging me to get Powerhour (too numersous to name), I just got UPS notification that it will arrive today. Glad I ordered it before I read Anna's post about how tough it is! I am equal parts scared and excited. BTW, the DVD also has MIS and something else (BodyMax?), but we'll save those for later.

Nancy, have fun with that DVD. You've got a huge variety of ways to work out there. MIS is just as "fun" as PH. Body Max, what can I say, it's killer. You can do the step intervals alone, upper body alone, which is a great upper body weight routine,btw. Or if you're feeling energetic one day, do the whole thing, Body Max not the whole DVD:). You'll know you've worked hard after that.

Hi Nancy,

You will love Powerhour !!!! :7 And, to let everyone know, I am
still aching from the half hour I did on Sunday night. In fact so much so that I am taking an early rest day, because I can hardly bend down - not good when you have nappies to change LOL !
Think I overdid the lunges - I still can't work out why ? I only used an 8# body bar !! My legs must be the most underworked on the Cathe forum !
Nancy - I also received MIS at the weekend which I am not going to attempt just yet.
Did you read Donna's (GetnFit@38)description of how your thighs feel while doing the lunges in Powerhour (check out my PH posting from yesterday) ? LOL Very graphic but very true ! Even my DH was cringeing watching me do the lunges :D But you will love it - I can't wait to have another crack of it !
Please let us know about how you find it once you have done it.

ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :7

Anna :)
 
Hi Nancy!

You've got 3 really good workouts there. Powerhour is a blast! And MIS is a tough workout as well. Bodymax is fun because it has everything, step, circuit with legs, and all upper body.

Have fun and let us know how you like them....:):):)

Thanks folks!

Donna, the only step I own is the 14 x14 Novel Notion box, which I doubt will be useful for Bodymax, but maybe I'll try the non-step portions of Bodymax!

I'll be back to report my new adventures with my new DVD! :-jumpy

I'm glad to hear some of you say you like the music in Powerhour. I just recently bought it at eBay (it's on it's way). I was reading the reviews on it over at VideoFitness and some of them seemed to think the music stunk and that Cathe and them didn't seem as cheerful or something like that which made the tape not as fun as it could of been. Hearing some of you say you like the music makes me feel a little better. Not that the music makes or breaks a tape to me. I've found that some rave about music on tapes while I thought it was ho hum.

Anyway, What did you think Nancy?
 
What! People have said that they DON'T like the music in PowerHour????

Excuse me...but, ARE THEY NUTS???!!!

I just looooove the music. It really makes the workout zip by and it really is so much fun. Trust us. We, who love Cathe workouts, know best. :7

Thanks Anna! I think "it" is a reflection of my personality! Bubbly and friendly. :)

Hi Nancy and all the Powerhour fan-natics.

I just got my copy on Monday night -- did the workout for the first time on Tuesday. It was very challenging -- lots there to improve on. Don't think I'll ever be able to do those jumping-in pushups (fun to watch Cathe and Cedie do them, though.)

Today my upper body is a little tight, but not bad. I'm surprised: I thought my lower bod would be screaming (the lunges were killers). I used a 20 and 25 lb. loaded barbell; 5, 10, and 15 lb.dumbbells; and a 10 lb. plate for the workout.

The music is the best of any of Cathe's tapes that I have (PS, Ab Hits) -- not exactly "Body Pump" but a big improvement over the PS series.

Oh, Now I'm totally stoked!!! I can't wait! I've never been to a body pump class but have heard excellent things. I'm sure since it's a Cathe tape I won't be disappointed!

I have to add I love this place! I don't know anyone else personally who does tapes, especially not Cathe. So, "hearing" you all talk about the videos makes me not feel so alone in my Cathe fest!

Sending cyber hugs to all!
 
You will not be disappointed. I love, love, love that tape as well as MIS.

Hmmm, maybe I'll have to do Power Hour tonight...
