In MIS Cathe used her step at 8" (just so happens I did MIS this morning! 
)

Thanks for the reply, Donna. When Cathe sits on the step for some exercises, and especially for the triceps dips, I thought mine was too low -- it's 9", but you cleared that up nicely for me!
How often do you do MSI, and do you alternate it with other tapes? I'm interested in weight training only. I'm thinking of getting Power Hour as I think that has more reps and that's what I'm looking for, but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks again.

Hi Normandy,
PowerHour does have more reps and makes a great workout to rotate with MIS.
I don't do MIS as often as I use to, total body workouts kill me! I prefer splits, but I do "revisit" total body workouts every so many weeks or months just to shake things up and have fun with my weight training. By the time I roll back around to MIS or PowerHour or Muscle Endurance they're actually fun because I haven't been doing them for so many weeks. (well, that's a lie! PowerHour is never fun for me!) But it's do-able cause it's been so long, and then I get through it by reminding myself I don't have to do it again for a long time!
But both PowerHour and Muscle Endurance would work well alternating with MIS.

In the final portion of the lower body section of MIS, where Cathe does back lunges off the step, I use the tall box instead of a regular step. Works great and I get in some tall box as well as regular lunges.
Also if you have your tall box out, you can sit on it for the upper body section. You do need a longer bench for chest work however.

Thanks, Jane, for your reply. I find I'm beginning to prefer Power Hour to MIS -- it's just too long for me. Also, I like the extra reps in PH. Am thinking of getting CTX upper body, as that's where I need most of my work. Would love to try PS, but I can't see two separate tapes for upper body.
