I love this new series, however, there are way too many pushups in this workout for me. My shoulder and neck can't take it. What do you all suggest? Just doing a few sets of push-ups and moving on to the rest of the workout? Or substituting some bench presses? Also, have any of you done...

Is this the thread you were looking for? http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=4&topic_id=81023&mesg_id=81023&listing_type=search I went off the pill 5? months ago and have no regrets. I feel so much better. I know I wasn't myself while on the pill - had many "psycho...

Would you mind sharing your spicy pumpkin pudding recipe? Thanks, Melissa

I'm glad to hear you like Mirenesse mascara. I've been debating for awhile now if I should try it. I hate to get hooked on another expensive product, but I am tired of the mascara mess...Have you tried any other Mirenesse products? I've been wanting to try their foundation too. Melissa

Lately it's Viggo Mortensen. I want him to do more movies! I also like Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are still nice to look at too. When I was in high school, I loved Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver).

Well, I think you all have convinced me to go ahead and order it. It's always easy to help other people spend their money isn't it? ;) But hey, I am saving on shipping costs. Anyway, thanks for your opinions! Melissa

I'm pre-ordering Cathe's new series. I was considering taking advantage of the free shipping offer on current workouts. I have Legs & Glutes and love it. I've contemplated getting the Pyramids since I've read such good things about them. How different is PLB from L&G? Is it really worth...

Hi Mar, I have another suggestion that I just tried tonight. I did Premix #5 which consists of warm-up thru intermediate intensity drills, combo #1 & 2, and high intensity thru cooldown. Since the high intensity is after the combos, I wasn't too pooped to maintain good form with the combos...

I modify. When I do the double kick I feel like I'm flailing because by that point I'm pooped and my form starts to suffer if I'm rushed. Instead of the double kick, I just do a single side kick, then finish the sequence as is (squat and side kick again.) I may go into the squat a few seconds...

Hi Melanie. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond with all that info. I guess I'll substitue BC for SJ&P. I haven't done that workout in awhile. I know I will eventually get PLB since most everyone gives it rave reviews. I just dread all the weight changes in it. I wish Cathe...

Wow, was I surprised to login this morning and see all the responses. Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I think I will stick to using the thrust kick, it feels better to me. I didn't have too hard of a time learning the kickboxing moves - until the kicks were thrown in. I was just...

I love KPC (especially the Kickbox and Strength Circuit Premix). Anyway, Cathe often does snap kicks, but says we can also do thrust kicks. I've only used one other kickboxing video before Cathe's and they did thrust kicks, so I do those. I'm just curious what others do and why? Are there...

Hi Joy, This is my third time trying to respond. Hopefully I won't end up triple posting. Anyway, thanks for resonding. I will substitute interval running for Imax 2. Do you (or does anybody) know the answers to my questions regarding the weight work in Step Jump & Pump and the...

Hi Melanie, I have the Legs & Glutes/KPC DVD and love it. I'm interested in trying out your rotation (or something like it), but I don't have all of the same workouts as you. So, I have some questions: Is Imax2 basically all cardio so I could substitute running? I don't have PLB or...

Oops. I meant to say one-legged deadlifts. I think I'll do as you do and try to keep my rear foot lifted (as long as I can without falling over). That felt more natural to me anyway. And then when I feel I'm going to lose my balance I'll just put my toe on the floor so my weight remains over...
