RE: Stepqueen................. Thanks Donna!!!! That's a GREAT idea!!!! :) Will definitely do that the next time I do that tape!!!

I have that Mindy Mylrea tape and I also have a problem with that "blocker" interval. I don't like it at all. The move feels too fast, and after doing it a couple of times you're pretty fatigued, which means a good chance of tripping on the step!! I was thinking about trying some sort of...

I've been taking birth control pills for years; I was on Tri-Norinyl until recently, when I saw a report on the news about a new birth control pill called Yasmin. They said that studies showed that it may aid women in weight loss because it contains a chemical which reduces water retention...

I hate the hi/lo portion of M.I.C.!!! This is a workout with an extremely high "dread factor." There is no way one could look forward to it. Now, the step portion is another story. I love it! I think the music is awesome -- so I do the "low and medium impact" sections of the hi/lo, then fast...

GOOD CHOICE!!!! In my opinion, Step Heat is a perfect introduction to Cathe videos. It's a little shorter than her other videos, and it's just tough enough. You won't feel totally "whupped" afterwards, but you will feel like you've worked out; trust me! It also has an ab section at the end...

IMAX does get easier - but like others already said, you have to do it weekly for a couple of months. Now I do it once every two weeks instead of every week. The opposite weeks I do other interval tapes, like Mindy Mylrea, Gin Miller, or CIA R.A.W. Question: Do you guys do IMax on an 8 inch...

RE: Don't thank me yet . . . Ha! Annette, that is so funny!! Yeah, there certainly is "a whole lotta burnin' goin on" while doing IMax!!! We should all check to make sure our smoke detectors are working before attempting that tape!! LOL!!!

RE: I've used it Yes, I like the dark step better, too! The other one is just too bright, and kind of gaudy looking, I think!! ... I hope you're right about me getting used to it. Right now it seems really difficult, but you're right; I've been using the shorter step for over 10 years, so I...

I do IMax once every two weeks; but I do an interval tape of some kind once a week - Wednesday is interval day - one week IMax, the next Intense Moves, the next IMax again, the next Mindy Mylrea Extreme Intervals, the next IMax... I can do IMax without modifications, but on a 6 inch step...

Yes, I was talking about the regular aerobic step. It's just a different color. It seems really long though. I'm almost willing to bet it's a little longer than the step Cathe uses in her videos. (Her regular step videos, such as Rhythmic Step, Step Jam, etc.) I'm going to measure it. It's...

Hi, I recently ordered the Step Co. step online (the new gray step with black risers). Is it my imagination, or is this step longer than the one Cathe uses in her tapes??? This step just seems EXTRA long; like, it's a struggle to do the long ways back and forth moves. (I forget what they're...

I am SO glad I decided to fess up about my fall off the step. I LOVE reading these stories; they are hilarious!! I can definitely relate to Laura's story about the end part of MIC. You really have to look down at the step because at that point in the tape your legs are really tired and it's...

I'm thoroughly enjoying your stories, ladies!! Keep 'em coming!! Now I don't feel so bad!!! :-)

Hi Lynda! Wow! Did you fracture your ankle doing step??? If so, which tape????

Hey everyone! Has anyone out there ever fell off their step? LOL!!It happened to me last Friday! Now mind you, I've been stepping for over 10 years, and this has NEVER happened to me before. I was just starting my workout tape, it was Extreme Intervals with Mindy Mylrea, the very first...

RE: me too! I agree that Hi/Lo is a killer... When I do the hi/lo portion of MIC, it feels like my legs are on fire by the time I'm three quarters of the way through!!! And it's not a fun kind of feeling, like stepping is!! When I'm doing hi/lo I feel like I just want to get the workout over...

Hi Everyone, It is so interesting to read posts on how everybody finds time to exercise. It definitely can be a challenge, especially at this time of year, with shopping, holiday parties, etc!! I work out after work. I come in and have a little something to munch on (pretzels or twizzlers...

Hmm... ok; but how do you find the exact spot on the DVD's where the sections you want to do are??

Wow, it's so hard to believe that there are actually parts of the U.S. where they don't sell Devil Dogs!! They are kind of similar to Suzy Q's (which I LOVE)... but the cake part isn't like a Suzy Q... it's lighter brown and more dense, and shaped like a hot dog They are really good, and I...
