    My hubby recorded over Step Works!

    RE: More importantly... I thought hard and remembered that I bought it from Collage. I sent them e-mail telling about the problem. I didn't expect a reply because while they have great service otherwise, they are very bad at answering e-mail or at least my international e-mail. However! I just...

    My hubby recorded over Step Works!

    I was so geared to do Step Works last night. It hasn't been in my rotation for a long time (injured, sick and then did CTX rotation) and I was looking forward to it. When I popped it into the VCR, I got an old episode of the Simpsons! It turned out that the tab had never been removed. I never...

    Who loves Gin Miller?

    Me too! I have actually gone to her website and looked to see if she had any plans for new tapes or anything but the only thing was the instructor tapes. Does anyone know why she isn't doing mainstream anymore? :-( Marcia

    rotation suggestions, anyone?

    Attn: Stacy! Your PS rotation is just about what I'm looking for! Next week I need to change rotations after doing CTX for 6 weeks and I really want to emphasize my upper body. Thanks for posting it! Marcia

    rotation suggestions, anyone?

    I was just about to ask the same question! I'm doing CTX and next week will be week 6 and I'm looking to keep my upper half looking great and keeping what I've got but more cut. Or something. I think I just need someone to tell me what to do!! You know, Cathe should have a section on her page...

    idle babble about exercise

    I just got to thinking about when I started exercising about 4 years ago. My first two tapes were Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Workout and Jane Fonda's Original Workout. I remember thinking how hard they were and that only fanatics exercised more than 3 times a week. I then discovered the reviews...

    Positive reinforcement time

    Ok, Kristina, I'll humor you!! I think this is a good idea and I unfortunately took far too long trying to find something I like about my body. My favorite thing about my life is the relationship I have with my husband. We understand each other and I never thought this kind of relationship was...

    Interval Max...Yow!

    Hi KZN! Don't be scared to try! I was scared to try first Cathe's tapes, then IMax and then Body Max because I listened too much to what everybody said. I think back and that was stupid! Granted, I modify a lot but the feeling you get knowing that you got through it and didn't die and when you...

    Strange question about my nose :)

    I'm not Cathe but someone once told me that since the body really needs the blood in other places when you work out, it reduces the blood flow to unnecessary body parts - ears and nose. I don't get numb, I get cold. My ears and nose are really cold when I've done a hard workout while the rest of...

    All right! That's it!

    RE: Hey Thundercat, that 8" step.... I love that reasoning! I'll buy it!! Because seeing Cathe bounce around on an 8" step, I get depressed sometimes because I would think in would be easier for me to step up. And to you Thundercat, I'm not completely at 8" yet. For me the trick was really...

    All right! That's it!

    Hey Thundercat I understand you completely! I'm also 5'10" and weigh 176 lbs. I can say that I'm somewhat satisfied with my body. I gain a few pounds at a time and now it is at a critical point. I want to take some off, approximately 10 lbs but I'll be satisfied if I can get 5 to go away! I...

    time to up the ante

    Hi Cathe! I have finally come to the point where I can add extra weight on my barbell for MIS. I was just wondering what a reasonable increase is. My barbell weights approximately 22 pounds (Ilive in Sweden and work in kilos). I know I have to listen to my body and so on but is one pound too...

    Naughty, naughty!

    RE: I heard today that... Oh, I wish that were true!! My big problem is peanuts and cashews and chips of any kind. :9 I can eat nachos and salsa and /or cheese dip until I feel that my tummy will explode. My husband has a secret hiding place in the house where he keeps potato chips and when the...

    A full CXT check-in

    Also been too long! Summer job is over and back from visiting the U.S., where I loaded up on all the Cathe tapes that I wanted. Now I'm back into exercise mode, so I have something to report. Unfortunately, I don't have my new tapes yet. I took a chance that they would be ready by mid-Aug and...

    Leaner Legs 2nd attempt--worse than the 1st?!?!

    Don't dispair! I haven't gotten mine yet, so I don't know what Leaner Legs is like but I just did SLA for the first time and thought that I went light (I could do all the reps with the weight and it was still challenging) but when I got to the floor work, I just couldn't move. I did as much of...

    Going on the Pill, need reassurance!!

    blood clot test There is a simple test they can do to check if you have a tendency to have blood clots. My new doctor did one on me, even though I've been on the Pill for many years because I mentioned that my mom had clots in her leg many years ago. It came back ok. So if you're really...
