    You pick Cathe's music

    LAST EDITED ON May-02-02 AT 00:10AM (Est)[p]I like the music in MIC (especially the last song in hi-lo segment!) and I like kind of music Christi Taylor uses in her recent videos like Still Jumpin/Still Steppin. I also think that Richard Simmons has great music in his new workouts (but I would...

    Numb Feet

    Hi, I have the same problem when I do hi-lo on the carpet. I asked Christi Taylor about it, her answer is here: http://www.taylordfitness.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000162.html Loosening the laces seems to really help and yes, it depends on the shoes a lot, unfortunately it is tough to test them at...

    Poll: which is tougher - Leaner Legs, PS Strong Legs, or S&H Legs?

    There was a similar poll at videofitness.com: http://forum.videofitness.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6307 Take a look, it's pretty interesting. Most people agreed that LL is the toughest. I personally did not try any of the workouts you mentioned so I can not comment. Olga

    Can you remember how you "found" Cathe?

    I learned about Cathe through videofitness.com. I used to hate step aerobics but previewed video clips from Cathe site and decided to get a step - just to be able to try out her tapes! Olga

    question for those who have HR monitors

    Thanks, Faythe! 30% cal from fat burned is really good, isn't it? I haven't gotten HR monitor yet - next month I think ... You got me thinking: if it takes some time to learn how to use it (and I am usually so bad at figuring out such things) I might need to go for smth simpler, but on the other...

    question for those who have HR monitors

    Faythe, here I am again bothering you again :) Did you get a chance to workout to some Cathe tapes with a heart monitor and notice amount of calories burned? Patiently waiting for your reply but no rush :)) Thanks, Olga

    question for those who have HR monitors

    Thanks for the link, Faythe! 465 is great, I wouldn't worry about fat cals being only 35 as long as total is so good. Thanks, Olga

    question for those who have HR monitors

    Renee, thanks so much for all the info!!! It definitely helps - - I was very ignorant thinking the higher the heart rate the better, wonder whether I was burning carbs instead of fat because of that ... Thanks tons! Olga

    question for those who have HR monitors

    Cruz, thanks for the links! I didn't not know that if you are above your target heart rate, you are burning calories from sugar/carbs... So when do I burn cals from fat (when it is below the target hr?) Any idea where I can read about it? Thanks! Olga
