Hi Cathe,
I've heard so many raves about your programs. DH and I run outdoors for pure cardio and use the Firm tapes for sculpting. I've reached my goal after losing 50 # so I'm maintaing and toning. DH has 20 # left to lose but is really interested in weight work for his upper body. I thought that CTX Upper Body would be great!! We've never tried a Cathe workout but are very curious. We're only interested in weight workouts, not step/cardio tapes (running works wonders for us already and well, there's only so much time in a day, esp. with kids).
Our question is: Can we use a tape like CTX Upper Body without a barbell or long step? All we have are dumbbells right now. Can we substitute dumbbells on the shoulders for the barbell work for the short term until we get $$ for a barbell? Or should we wait until we can afford all of the equipment? I'm dying to buy and try one of your tapes, but I worry about affording the extra equipment right now.
Keep up the great work! You've got a huge fan base over at the Firm Ya Yas site (as I'm sure you know!).
