Thanks for your quick and thorough response, Cathe! The education thing would definitely be the "easy" part. And I don't think I would mind being an exclusive employee of a well-managed club. But I definitely see where the hours could get difficult as a mom and spouse. I definitely don't...

Hi, Cathe...and anyone else with input! I'm a 34 year old mom with 2 BAs under my belt (Photo/Communications & English Lit.). Prior to motherhood I had intentions of eventually finishing up certification as a HS teacher. 6 years later the teacher shortage in MI has done a complete...

I LOVE Muscle Max and recently picked-up a used copy of Supersets/Push Pull for a little variety. I did Supersets today, but didn't find it to be nearly as challenging as MM. Can anyone recommend Cathe workouts that would be on-par with MM? I generally only do weight workouts 2-3 days/week...

Ok, Kick Max, it is, then. I just watched the video clips and it REALLY looks perfect--particularly the leg drills, as I noticed Cathe does some hip flexor work and that is one area I had some issues with earlier this Fall with my running. I need to strengthen that area and it looks like KM...

>I think the best part of the KP & C is included in the >Timesaver, same with Legs and Glutes. I'd probably pick Kick >Max. Gah, just when I thought I had my mind made up... ;) So what's on Timesaver is the full kickboxing portion of the KPC workout? If so, then I think I'd be leaning more...

>What is the timesaver? This is the Timesaver DVD: http://www.shopcathe.com/Body_Blast_Series_Timesaver_DVD_p/620.htm I like that it helped me gauge what sorts of Cathe workouts I can do well--I learned very quickly that I am too klutzy and don't have the space for her step work, but that...

So I really want to order either KM or KPC, but I already own the Timesaver DVD. Would KPC be too redundant? I LOVE the kickboxing segment on the Timesaver disc--is what's on there the full aerobic portion of KPC? I also have Muscle Max, so do I really even need the Legs & Glutes workout that...

I love the kickboxing workout on the Timesaver DVD, so I think I will soon go ahead and order the full KPC DVD. So my real question is, what shoes might others recommend? I have pretty wide width feet and LOVE my wide New Balance running trainers, but I know they wouldn't offer nearly enough...

debfer, now there's a novel idea...I almost wonder if I'd have enough room, though--we live in an old house with very low ceilings (most are 7' or less). Definitely cheap fitness, though. :D k

Hi, rcb...yeah, I'm planning to get a pair or trail/all-terrain shoes after Christmas (since that's when the lake effect machine really kicks in AND there should be some good sales, perhaps) to help keep my feet drier and warmer, as well as give me increased traction on snow. I think the...

Ooh, KPC is one I have been really interested in getting, as I LOVE the KPC segment on the Timesaver DVD. That would be a good way to get my cardio in, too--thanks for that suggestion! :D k

Hi all, This past Spring I took up running and am currently up to 25-30 miles/week in preparation for my first half marathon in 5 weeks. After that event I plan to scale back down to probably 20-25 miles/week (with my longest run each week ~ 10 miles) and do some cross-training indoors, as...

I'm a bit late on the discussion, but the BEST way to be fitted for running shoes is at a running specialty store. I made the mistake of ordering a pair of New Balance shoes in my regular size and width (D/wide--love NB shoes, as they come in so many widths for most models), but they slipped...

Thanks! :D k
