Does anyone have any good tips on how to get the sweat smell out of my exercise gear? The clothes still smell after being washed. Blech. Marcia

bankrupt!! You guys with all your great suggestions are going have my credit card maxed out in no time! I bought the book and the other nutrition books mentioned recently (eagerly waiting for them from amazon.uk.co). You have also convinced me to buy all of Cathe's tapes that I don't already...

six inches I use a 6" step and I'm fairly new to Cathe's tapes and that is just fine for me. Other tapes I can do on a 8" but when I try 8" with Cathe, I go anaerobic fairly quickly. I think if you are serious about stepping (and have the money!), you should try and invest in a new step for...

Thanks!! I appreciate all the tips everyone has given me! I know I have a tendency to let my weight go to the ball of the foot. I'm sure that happened, especially since I was trying to bend more since I only had an 8" step and not a tall box. I'll keep it in mind! Thanks again! Marcia

waiting eagerly No Nancy, I don't have any of Cathe's. I am a newer advanced exerciser and was going to buy the PS Series when she announced the new videos. I found the rotation idea appealing, so I bought those instead. Breaking it up into segments like that makes it seem easier to handle. But...

If I may boast...I have decided to start weight training. I bought Tough Tape a while back and decided that the barbell was necessary. After two months of irritation I finally got a hold of a barbell and did it for the first time last night. Today I'm feeling it! I'm proud of myself because I've...

very far in the North Hi Daphne! I live in a small town in along the coast of Northern Sweden, called Ranea (but with two little circles over the a's) Petra will know what I mean. I'm an American, actually but was an exchange student here years ago and to make a long story short, married a...

not many... My very first tape was Fat Burning Workout w/ Kathy Smith and I still do Power Step. It can still kick my butt! Otherwise most of my tapes are fairly new. Marcia

Hi Cathe! I've been thinking about this for the past couple of days and now I feel like I jusr have to say...I wouldn't want to be in your shoes! You have a bunch of women breathlessly awaiting your new videos (me included!) and you have all this pressure on you to listen and accomodate...

no big deal Hi Nancy! Sometimes I order from companies in the U.S. and sometimes I don't. It depends on what it is and the shipping costs, which are horribly expensive and then one must worry about customs, etc. However, I'm going to be visiting my mom this summer so I order things and have...

Wow, Nancy!! I don't live in the U.S. and the sports stores here don't carry any kind of home exercise stuff because no one exercises at home in Sweden. Thanks for the tips! I'll check them out. This could become an addiction.... Marcia

Does anyone know of any good companies that sell fitness stuff on the net? I'm in the market for a barbell cover but even somewhere that sells clothes and/or other things. Thanks! Marcia

Thanks! This gives me a good idea then of what to expect. I don't know when I'll get it, though. Hubby is beginning to roll his eyes and wonder if buying 8 vids that don't exist yet isn't enough!! I think I'm going to start checking in on Sundays, too. Marcia

Can anyone tell me how IMax compares to Gin Miller's Intense Moves? I have Gin's tape and can do almost everything in the hardest form on a 6" step. I've heard so much about IMax that I'm not sure I'll ever buy it! However, I did just purchase 8 tapes so I'm sure that'll keep me busy! ;) Thanks...

I just found out the hard way that even though my VCR plays NTSC tapes (I live in Sweden) that those recorded on Extended Play still do not work in my VCR. I see that about 98 percent of videos are not Extended Play but just tell me that you guys aren't using that format for the new videos! If...

Tall I think that faster workouts are sometimes a problem. I'm 5' 10" and somedays I feel that I can't "stretch" out the moves when I do them. Keli's tapes are a little slower, I think and she is also taller. We just have a little more to move and it does make a difference! Marcia

Just like to say to Cathe, way to go! I was watching you today, instead of listen to my stats teacher. Just want you to know that in the very north of Sweden, at 3:10 pm, in the computer room at school, I watched you jumping around in the U.S. I had to have the sound off, of course!

Hi! Time for my first post! I just bought a FIRM tape where it says the barbell is optional. I don't agree but anyway.. I've never used one but I notice that the FIRM's barbell is shorter, like a body bar, while Cathe seems to use a longer barbell. Doe this have any significance? If I were to...
