Thanks!

RE: I run or push my daughter up and down hills in her stroller. Kathy Smith has a few intermediate tapes that are decent. I'd also call the Firm intermediate. None of their tapes ever make me work as hard as Cathe but they are nice for an off day.

Thanks Debbie!

I've purchased two or three DVDs from them and haven't noticed any significant problems. They don't appear to be bootlegs but what do I know. The only thing that ticked me off was that I won three tapes and emailed three times about combining shipping. Somehow they never got the emails (rolleyes).

I've purchased two on ebay and both were total busts. One didn't work at all. The other one you have to stop and hold the reset button down for 2 seconds and then hold the sensor at the edge of the watch for 10 seconds while it gets your pulse. x( Is there a moderately priced one out there...

Kathryn, I do have a step but I only have 6 risers. If I put three under each side, it probably won't be enough for leg work, right? I guess I could put it on a few 2x4s! LOL!

I'm still getting through all of my new Cathe DVDs so I haven't ventured much into the premixes yet. Can any of you tell me which ones are your favorites? I have all of the new series, IMAX 3, Muscle Max, Rhythmic Step, KPC, & Supersets. Are there any great premixes on these?

We're headed out on vacation next month so I'm saving all of my pennies. Someday I'll actually buy the high step topper. Until then, what else can I use in it's place? Our weight bench doesn't quite work because it has the foot plates and bench press attatched. Thanks.

I didn't know he had a video on his own. I'm off to look for it. That guy really managed to kick my butt. I first did Aerobox when I was training for a marathon and still lifting heavy at the gym (meaning I was in awesome shape) and it still managed to drain me.

I used to do HIIT all the time when I was reading Bill and Shawn Phillips' stuff. I don't remember the particulars. I think Bill P did his 20 MAS which was something like this: Min 1-2 warm up Min 3 work at level 5 intensity Min 4 level 6 Min 5 level 7 Min 6 level 8 Min 7-10...

Amy, I couldn't have said it better. I've done Kathy Smith's Aerobox several times before and that TOTALLY kicks my butt. Otherwise most Kickboxing type videos don't. It's good to see I'm not alone.

I have about 10-12 Cathe videos and each one manages to kick my butt. I've heard so many great things about KPC so I just got it in the mail. It was a ton of fun to do but it was a much easier workout for me than all of the others (exception: some of the ab work). It's the first video where I've...

Guys, thanks so much! I feel a bit better about having to stop twice last night while doing IMAX. :) I love that she breaks up the moves in IMAX2 and 3 as that was the hardest part for me. It's not that I can't stay anaerobic that long, it's that it's too hard on my knees. It sounds like...
