wow - I LOVE Powerstrike Millennium 1 & 2 and found Cardio Kicks hard to do in my small apartment. I am really looking forward to buying this DVD!!!

I am trying to lose 5-8 lbs. I work out six days per week and am following Weight Watchers. Right now I am doing a 3-week Cathe rotation using CTX, MIC, PS, PowerMax, and Interval Max. This first week consists of MIC, PS BBA, Interval Max, PS CST, Power Max, then on Satu MIC & PS LA. My...

Hi Cathe, I LOVE all of your workouts because they are advanced and intense. Would you consider doing a medicine ball workout? I have a 2lb and 6lb Oof ball that don't get used very often. I disagree with the other posters about doing a stretch tape, unless it's tacked onto the end of an...

Lynn, I have both of these workouts, and Power Hour is more of an endurance type of workout than a strength workout. You use lower weights and the sets are a lot longer. I really dread the low-end static lunges in Power Hour - they go on forever! The nice thing about Power Hour is that it's...

I, too, live in an apt. building with wood flooring, and I have a thin, dense, black rubber mat that I use for both hi/lo aerobics and step. It really absorbs much of the noise and I've never had any complaints from my downstairs neighbors. I bought mine at a sporting goods store a few years...

Gretchen, I love your little foot stomping on the happy face icon! Hilarious. Amy

Hi Marlene, Thanks for the feedback - I've ordered a used copy from amazon after reading so many good reviews. I hope it works as nicely for me as it did for you - I'll post after I've done it for a month or so. It must be hard to keep weight off while living in NO! I was there back in April...

Home! I joined Crunch for two years and never ever go. I'm too lazy to walk a block to the gym! I prefer working out w/ Cathe or Firm tapes because I know I will get a time-efficient and total body cardio/weight workout in an hour or so. At the gym, I may get on the elliptical trainer...

Hi, I'm thinking about buying the Sugar Busters book. I've always been a compulsive overeater and am wondering if this book can help. Any comments (good/bad) would be much appreciated - thanks in advance. Amy

I just did this tape for the first time and my arms and shoulders have never been so sore! They're sore in a different way from what weights do to me - it feels like I've done a hard swimming workout or something. I was really surprised. Take it easy your first time so you don't end up as...

I'm 5'4", 130lbs, and would like to get back down to 120. I'd like to lose fat in my thighs w/o bulking them up. Is there a way to do this? I've read conflicting advice. Some people say step aerobics bulk up your legs; others say that heavy weights do. Still others say that low weights and...

I'm not Chris, but I do WW online, and for me, it's much more convenient than going to meetings and writing everything in a paper journal and looking up points in a booklet. Everything is online - the journal, your weight chart, the points calculator, everything. There is even an online chat...

Kath, I'm at 132 now and would love to get down to 120. How long did this take you, if you don't mind me asking? I recently saw a nutritionist who told me the same thing you just did about protein at every meal to cut cravings and avoiding sugar/white flour. That really does work wonders...
