Number 5 workout is awesome. LOTS of lower body. I sometimes just use the Workout Blender and pick and choose what I want to do but it will take you awhile to see what they all offer. Let us know what you do. One nice thing about Cathe: she is always coming out with new workouts sooo you will always be excited about exercising. Have FUN!

thanks for the responses guys... i think i'm going to use TS for a cardio workout tonight (got tips from someone else on the board who's structured some good cardio routines). I'm using Pyramids for my strength workout, so tonight I won't do the weight portion. So so happy for Cathe... I'm a WW and getting married in September, so my focus and my enthusiasm/determination is at an alltime high... I've gone in and out of motivation highs over the past several years, but truth is, I've NEVER been psyched to do any strength training. I've always seen it as a necessary evil. Cathe's changed that. She's delightful, motivational, and fun... still work... but fun! Any body else have any other TS stories/comments, bring em on... think I'll be earmarking this one as my favorite! 
I did #5 last night because I wanted to work on my legs. It was great. I thought it would be the same old leg stuff, but there is a bit of leg work done on the floor which I love! I wasn't thrilled with #1. Cardio was a bit too short and the chest and tris just didn't feel worked out. But I'll be trying #2 tonight to see how it is.

Hi there! Thanks so much! So far I've used my local Chicago message boards on www.theknot.com! Thanks to that board, I've booked my reception hall, ceremony location, photographer, videographer, ceremony musician, DJ for the reception, ordered my dress, got the wedding bands, and picked out my bridesmaids dresses.
Here's my wedding bio from the knot. Everyone there has their own wedding bios and it's so fun looking at them all.

I love it too! I think 4 and 5 are my faves. I like the #5 better than Legs & Glutes. You are going to be amazed at how awesome the workouts are!

WOW - thanks so much for posting this! I did #2 today and did all but the last step combo - I was sweating like crazy! I've only been back to working out for four weeks now so I didn't want to push it. Good thing muscles have memory. Thanks so much as I traded a FIRM tape for this Timesaver DVD and now I'm really glad I did. I only had Step Blast and Cardio Kicks as far as Cathe workouts but thanks to you I now have lots of refreshing new workouts!!
