Where do you get your ideas?

Cathe,

I was wondering how you come up with these genious ideas for new tapes and choreography. I know the six pack is basically your postpartum comeback routine, but where did the idea originate? Do you do a lot of brainstorming or is it more experimentation within your classes? I'm sure it must be easier now with all the experience you've had. If we all could tap into that creative process, I'm sure the world would be a happier place. Hope that doesn't sound corny.
Anyway, have a wonderful time in Florida. Get some rest and relaxation. You deserve it!

Brad

Hi Brad!

Its a combination of everything you mentioned. A little brainstorming, class experimentation(btw, the members were so enthusiastically cooperative

), and just not having the time like I used to to devote to working out.

While doing 8 videos in one shot was an incredible amount of work, it was doable mainly because of the shorter formats in the express series and the mixing of old and new choreography. I honestly don't think that I would have been able to do 8 videos with all new choreography in that amount of time.

My focus and intention while creating these 8 workouts was 1)time efficiency, 2)cross training, 3)safety and effectiveness, and of course, 4)maintaining the FUN FACTOR!!!

While it took a lot of work, I think I've managed to fulfill these requirements.

I hope you enjoy your new workouts!
