I have the CTX Upper and Leaner Legs + the Intensity Series and I just started doing S&H about 21/2 weeks ago. I am having outstanding results. I was getting quite toned already from the intensity series but since starting S&H the muscle is kicking in. I feel great and absolutely love this series. Makes me feel really strong. Anyways this is what I am doing for the month of April.
Sunday: S&H Chest and Back + 45 min. steady state cardio
Monday: 6 mile run
Tuesday: S&H Biceps, Triceps and Abs + 30 min. interval run (really intense)
Wednsday: 6 mile run or Cathe Step Tape
Thursday: S&H legs and Shoulders + 30 min interval run
Friday: 6 mile run
i am doing quite alot right now and even want to up my cardio to an hour every day. I am pretty lean but what that last 3 lbs off so I can really see all of this hard earned muscle and the only way to do that is with diet and cardio.
Anyways this was long but I think you will love S&H

Slow and Heavy is my all time favorite Cathe strength. I saw strength gains quickly with them. I haven't done them in awhile since I've been using my Pyramids. I use the upper body more than the lower body section. I've been doing my own lower body program.(Muscle Fitness Hers Butt Blaster). I'm planning on going back to my S/H next week. I'm anxious to see if the S/H upper body is easier or harder than I remember.
I received the S&H series for Christmas but just now got around to doing them - I am in my third and final week.
I am loving this series!! I really feel strong when I am doing the work and really feel worked afterward.
Also, I am such a wimp on lunges and if I do them (on other tapes) I use very light weights or even no weight at all. On S&H I use a 25 lb barbell and I swear it has given me so much confidence; I threw in a day of ME and used 14 lbs on the lunges which is a huge amount for me!!
If nothing else, this series has extraordinary form pointers and gives you the determination to go as heavy as possible because you only do 8 reps at a time - you can do anything for 8 reps, right?
Anyway, in case you couldn't tell, I highly recommend this series - have fun!

I really hate to say that I'm not excited by something that Cathe puts out, but this series is my least favorite of all the weight tapes she's done. BUT, that's just for me and my unique situation. (ALL of our situations are unique, you know). The reason is that the workouts are very long (except for the lower body workout).
Time is a real issue for me, and this series takes up too much time FOR ME. It's a great, time-honored concept, but you have to have the time to work it in.
If time is not an issue for you, they are great - very well done, as are all her tapes.
Just Do It!

I love the Slow and Heavy upper body tapes, and I often will do them changing the rythym (5 up/3 down or 3 up/5 down instead of 6 up/2 down--which makes the negative feel a bit fast to me). I don't like the lower body as well. I don't do the lunges in slow and heavy manner because they really aggravate my knees.
