Hi all! (apparently I have a lot of thoughts on this
)
roseirous: I'm pretty sure you meant to say that wasn't your "intention" not 'attention'.
I've been working out to Cathe for 6 years (and used to post on the forums . . . I don't know what happened to my log-in) and I love her.
I saw P90 on an infomercial and encouraged my hubby to buy. I thought "hey, here's a program we can do together" and we got it and I was BORED TO TEARS . . . my opinion mind you . . .
Then we were looking on the BB website one day and came across the "making of p90x" and my hubby got really excited and I ordered it for him. He sweat buckets doing the workouts and I was glad he found something . . . I love to sit with him while he works out and
replenish his water and laugh over the stupid jokes Tony Horton makes.
However, I would not be able to work out with those DVD's every day.
Cathe is who I have found that I like . . . once again, my opinion.
roseirous: you mentioned several times saying that waiting to get STS was making a silly statement . . .
why? I know I like Cathe. Will I get results with p90x, sure - but p90x is not for me and Cathe is. she has spunk that I like.
You mentioned that it is "simply not true" that STS is better than p90x -
why not? how do you know? It's not out yet - as you yourself have admitted. NO ONE here said it was better . . .they only alluded to the fact they knew Cathe and liked her workouts and were excited about STS and what it claims it will offer(in so many words mind you and this is a paraphrase of multiple comments)
You go on to mention that "there are many programs that can help the average person get into reasonably good shape" but if you will read the description on Cathe's workouts, her workouts are not geared for the "average" person - they are geared to the "advanced" exerciser.
Next you mention "However, P90X is not for everyone. IT IS EXTREME" -
extremity is ALL RELATIVE. and for me (here comes my opinion again) p90x is Extreme - in its boredom.
Then you go on to say "Comparing STS to P90X is just silly, and not fair to people looking to get in the best shape of their lives."
So we are to assume that p90x is the only way to get in to the best shape of our lives . . . golly wonder how all those EXTREMELY fit people have done it for all this time . . . thank goodness we now have p90x . . .ahhhhh . . . (sighing with relief)
Oh then there was this comment "Nothing wrong with being a fan of CATHE" -
you are a generous man . . .
"I just don't think they are the level of P90X." -
So you can have opinions on a workout but we cannot?
"I do understand that there are more ways to skin a cat. However, I also know that everyone I have seen, has had phenomenal results with P90X, and it has an established track record of excellence, while STS does not." -
WELL OBVIOUSLY NOT YET - IT'S NOT OUT!!!!!! YET!!!!!
Then you say "You asked me if I have tried various CATHE workouts, over seven days and tried to get the same results. Why would I?
If P90X works, and I know it works, why would I try to reinvent the wheel. You are not talking to someone who is coming to you for advice. I have already gotten fantastic results." -
ya think maybe this is our thought process about Cathe????? We are not coming to you for advice either.
And finally, my favorite comment of yours is "You are a really bad communicator, aren't you?" Dear man, part of being a good communicator is seeing both sides and having a successful interchange of ideas . . . I ask you, have you done this??? I think not . . .you have, however succeeded in offending many a woman on this site
whew . . .
