Hi!

I am interested in purchasing a DVD player that will allow me to create my own premixes of Cathe's workouts -I have heard some people call this feature the Workout Blender. Can you tell me what feature I should be looking for on a DVD player that will allow me to do this? I was looking for the information on the website but just couldn't find it.

Thanks!

The workout blender is a feature of the DVD. It is akin to a menu where you get to pick sections, order them in your preferred sequence, and piece together a customized workout instead of doing the workout or one of its premixes "as is". All you need is your remote handy for the DVD player.

You can achieve something similar if you want to blend from dvds that dont have this feature, or across different dvds by hooking your TV to your PC or to a device like Apple TV (http://www.apple.com/appletv/), as long as you have ripped all your Cathe workouts (as individual tracks for each sequence) from dvd onto the PC or Apple TV. Takes a bit of work, but stringing together your own workouts by mixing across dvds is a lot of fun.

A multi-disc dvd player (dvd changer) is another option - less geeky to use. You need a programmable DVD changer. (http://www.streamteam.co.uk/digitaltrainer/whydvd.html) That link has useful information on how to pick a player but is out-of-date. There are some remarkably verstaile and affordable dvd changer models in the market now.
