Great! Thanks!

Do the individual Xtrain workout downloads contain the 'bonus' workouts (ex.core,rear delts, etc.) or are they only available if purchasing the entire Xtrain series? For example, if I just purchased the Supercuts download would I also receive the bonus core 1 & 2, and the 100 rep challenge...

Mine was Jane Fonda's total body sculpting. I alternated that with Reebok's hi/low workout with Petra Colber. I didn't know about rotations back then so I just kept doing those two tapes for a year! :o I was in college and couldn't afford weights, so I lifted soup cans! Ahhh, memories.

Hi! I'm a Certified Personal Trainer, and I just started my own personal training business. I'm soooo happy to finally be self-employed!:) :)

Hi, I post here occasionally and just wanted to know if there are any personal trainers/fitness professionals who prefer to work out to Cathe vids rather than training themselves at the gym. I actually started using Cathe videos before I became a personal trainer (or had access to a gym). I'm...

Hi :-) , I took the exam last Nov., wow, I just realized I've been certified a year already! The best words of wisdom I can give is just relax. Also, the woman who taught at the pre-exam prep course I attendend told us not to study the day of the exam because it would make us more stressed...

Hi, I live in an apartment so I can't do a lot of jumpy, or plyo type moves without disturbing my downstairs neighbors. Does kick punch & crunch have a lot of "jumping" movements? :)

Hello, I haven't posted here in a while, but I have a question. I've been training my lower body only once a week for several weeks now. This is mostly because I run a lot and don't want sore legs every other day. However, I'm not seeing very good results with my once time per week approach...

Thanks for the good advice :). I'm going to check out my local Y as well as some smaller, non-commission clubs in my area.

Hello, I recently became an ACE certified personal trainer and have started to look for a job in my area. Bally's seemed interested in hiring me, but I'm not sure I agree with their sell,sell,sell philosophy. They also would expect me to offer nutritional advice and promote their supplements...

Thanks for the congrats and all of the good info. I'm definately going to join now! :)

Hello, I just became a certified personal trainer through ACE and was thinking about becoming an IDEA member. Is anyone here a member and if so could you tell me a little bit about the benefits? Thanks :)

Hello, I would like to know if there are any runners out there that use Cathe cardio videos to cross-train. By runners, I guess I mean those of you who use running as your primary cardio activity. Has cross-training helped your running? How many days a week and what Cathe videos do you use...

You're not the only one. I also feel like I'm going too fast when I do PS, especially the bench press section. Before I tried PS I was lifting on my own so I guess I was performing the reps a lot slower.

Yes, I've got the home study course but I'm also going to take the Exercise Etc. Exam Prep in October 2 weeks before the exam. I've been studying/learning on my own, but I definately need a classroom setting to go over anything I'm unsure of. :)
