LAST EDITED ON Oct-12-01 AT 01:50PM (Est)[p]For those of you who might not have a full hour to workout and want to know how long each S&H tape would be if you only performed 2 sets where Cathe does 3, here's the breakdown: S&H CHEST & BACK Warm-Up 3min Chest 18min (orig 26.5min) Back 11.5min...

Can I get one too? LAST EDITED ON Oct-08-01 AT 10:31PM (Est)[p]Cyndie, I also have Microsoft Publisher. Can you email me a copy as well? Thanks in advance for all your hard work! :D Dawn P. [email protected]

OK, I did S&H Chest & Back this AM and did only 2 sets of those exercises where Cathe does 3, and it shaved 15min off the total workout time. Here's the breakdown: CHEST & BACK Warm-up 3min Chest 18min (originally 26.5min) Back 11.5min (originally 18min) Superman 3min Planks 5min Stretch 2min...

Ellenellen, Well, I was impressed when I could heavy up on my squats from 40lbs in Pure Strength to 60lbs in S&H. And I think I definitely have shapelier triceps. Plus the way I'm shaking at the end of the Chest workout, I HAVE to be gaining some nice muscle mass. I add negative chins to the...

Thanks Kathryn, I've noticed that not all the exercises have 3 sets, some already only have two (triceps dips) or only one (pushups). I'm going to try to keep track the next time I do them - I just finished a 3-week rotation, so in keeping with Cathe's advice, I'm going to take a break from...

Hi everybody, I love the new Slow & Heavy series and I finished a 3-week rotation and noticed significant strength gains. Does anyone have the exact times for each tape if you only do 2 of the 3 sets of each exercise? I think I am going to try to cut down the time investment but still get good...

And here's a link to it Good job, Caroline! Here's a link so everyone can enjoy your article: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/09/02/LV153097.DTL Dawn P.

Ruth, I empathize as well. Somedays I feel like putting my VCR on freeze-frame-slow-forward mode! I wanted to pipe in here, though, and ask if you've been to see your doctor lately. It is possible that you have an underactive thyroid that hasn't been diagnosed. I used to see it a fair amount...

Mindy, Mindy, Mindy - and Franny Stacy, Congrats on the new house! You're free to MAKE NOISE now! You should check the videofitness reviews on Mindy Mylrea's Action Packed Workout, it has a 35-minute hi-lo routine together with a 30min step routine and it rocks! Great music, athletic steps...

Support the barbell on your traps First of all, congratulations on doing Leaner Legs with that much weight, it's a TOUGH workout! I had the same problem squatting with a barbell, neck pain and soreness, then someone at videofitness.com (Karen P?) explained how important it is to place the...

My funny story Hello, Well, it could be! Funny, I don't ever read the Pregnancy forum, but your post reminded me of my first warning! Two weeks after I had an unprotected evening with my hubby, I noticed that the premenstrual swellings were misplaced - instead of sore tender breasts, my...

The Wal-Mart Crystal Edge ball is 65cm Hi, Had to pop in here and post, I have the Crystal Edge ball you get at Wal-Mart, and it's 65cm. It comes with a instruction poster and a pump and it's only $13.88! How's that for a bargain? I've even seen it online at www.wal-mart.com, check out their...

No, I'm sorry! Erin, No, I haven't seen the Ivanko barbell *live*. A reader on VF named "JL" called my attention to it last week. It looks so similar that I wouldn't be surprised if Ivanko wasn't the manufacturer or distributor of the FIRM barbell. Have you considered e-mailing them and...

FIRM-like barbell for less... LAST EDITED ON Apr-17-01 AT 10:12PM (Est)[p]Mishelle, If you decide you like the shorter padded barbell offered by the FIRM, check out this barbell at Ivanko: http://www.ivanko.com/products/prd_text/Aerobicbar.html which is pretty much identical but costs much...

option 2 sounds good! I like option 2 because I can see myself rotating parts of Power Hour, MIS & Body Max and I'd love to do that from a single DVD. But I really don't care which option you choose, I'm thrilled that Cathe supports the DVD format - it really opens up a whole new world in...

Epoxy worked for me! Rhonita, I had to reglue my step mat down to the step while assembling my mini-topper, and epoxy glue worked great! You can find it at hardware stores. Get the kind designed to hold plastics and rubber. Often it comes in two tubes you mix together. Then when you apply...

Try www.ciavideo.com or jumpincfitness.com Amy, Try CIA videos, at www.ciavideo.com or Mindy's own site at www.jumpincfitness.com. I understand G & R Videos is also selling one of Mindy's new ones, Extreme Intervals and has good prices. Check out www.gandrvideo.com Mindy's tapes are great...

I skip them! Debbie, I skip the first warm-up set of dumbbell lunges and I only do some of the warm-up plie squats as well. I also hold 7lb dumbbells up in front of my chin (palms-up) instead of using a body bar for better balance. I think this gives me more energy to do the remaining sets...

Hello, Thanks to several Cathe fans, I copied down their breakdown of Cathe's CTX series as it appears in her DVD. So at least for the DVD, here are where the weight training segments start on each of the 6 CTX tapes (if you start at the beginning of the tape where the warm-up begins): POWER...
