What to buy?

[Kimenem]

My mom got me a gift certificate for Cathe stuff (YAY!!!). I told her I wanted one so I could get the weighted vest. Well yesterday I found out that she bought the vest too!!! So I'm wondering what to buy? I don't need bands or gloves or weighted gloves. I really want the MMA dvd when Cathe has time to make it but the cert. expires in a year and I doubt the new stuff will be out by then because if I were her, I'd take a MUCH needed and well deserved break after STS. SO, any suggestions?

Do you have all of Cathe's workouts? Why not splurge on a tshirt?

What equipment do you need (that Cathe carries)? I can always find something else to buy!

What about buying a fitness item as a gift for somebody else? Not fun, I know, but maybe you can find a good gift so it doesn't go to waste.

I thought about getting the slanted risers but are they really necessary? Isn't there some kind of equipment coming out with STS?

HI Kim: I don't know about anything coming with STS, other than the DVD's and the manual (apparently only if you ordered the entire series) but I would highly recommend the slanted risers if you don't have any other means of forming an incline with your step... I purchased mine about a month ago, along with a new original gray step and LOVE them both! I use them both for the long incline position on the bench, but sideways as well, that makes a great slant to do lunges and stuff, since I can't go deep... I think they make the step much more stable than just slanting them on the flat risers but they aren't an absolute neccessity...

Also, if you don't already have one, a High Step is a great bonus as well, not to mention that you get 4 additional risers to use on your step!

other than that i'm afraid i'm no help

If you don't have an incline bench, I would definitely get the slanted risers. The only equipment that she has coming out - that I am aware of - is the pull up tower. I am quite pleased with my Iron Gym or whatever it is for the pull up thing, and it takes up no space. I got the slanted risers before I got my bench - you will need the incline for STS, plus you can get a cool step workout with the slanted risers.

Thanks...so slanted risers definitely going in the cart

more step?

I was looking at your profile with your list of workouts that you already have and it looks like you don't have Cardio Hits or The Classics. I don't know if you like vintage step wo but I do! They are fun. And it would appear that you don't have CTX either. Those are options. How about a high step dvd? Like High Step Challenge? I just got my high step and its a lot of fun and doesn't take much to set up.

Btw, just let me say, you have a super cool mom!

If you're getting STS I'd hold out for the pull-up contraption, unless you have another means by which to do pull-ups. I really would love to have those slanted risers. I could really use them for a lot of my workouts, not just Cathe.

It was the pull up thing I was thinking about. Has a price been mentioned? Was it something that folds up to be pot away? Re: the high step, as you saw, I don't have any of those. What are they exactly?
