Hey All :) I tackled the "beast" yesterday morning and did my usual .. no modifications, adding on the 3 intervals from CTX Step & Intervals to lengthen my workout. I still can't decide after more than two years of this workout if I love it, or loathe it! :) ~ Nicole

Thanks Lisa and mystery girl "tsut" .. :) I have a 9lb bodybar that I'm going to use in conjunction with the inner thigh work in PS Legs. I'm contemplating between getting Sculpted Buns, Hip & Thighs, or incorporating additional legwork as recommended by tsut :) I do have the Slow & Heavy...

Hi All! I'm curious about other's results with this. I'm certainly not looking to lose weight, but have always loved my heart-pumping intense cardio sessions. Lately, I've not been so jazzed with my overall look. Sure, I'm thin and can see some tone, but I'd like to see more definition. I've...

Howdy :) Okay .. so it sounds like "good mornings" take the same motion as deadlifts? If so, then I may have to give that one a try to see how it feels .. never thought about performing that motion with a barbell on my back. I'll definitely give the leg press a shot on a regular basis, my...

Hi Shaan :) MIC is a split cardio routine. It starts with 28 minutes of hi/lo, followed by 36 minutes of step. It's quite the workout. If you're looking for something to help you through BodyMax, I would suggest interval training. While I wouldn't necessarily start with Cathe's Interval Max...

Thanks for all of the info!! Gosh .. I feel wimpy with what I've been lifting up until now! (Only have enough plates to stack my barbell to 35lbs). I was hoping you could clarify a couple of things. The leg press, is the machine where you're sitting with your feet on the platform with the...

Hey jillybean :) What were you using on the floorwork for inner and outer thighs? I was thinking I would start w/ 35lbs on barbell, and #10 dumbbells (being that it's the heaviest I currently have at the moment). Just curious what your weight was for the floorwork section. Thanks :) Nicole

Ever tried Circuit Max?? Another Cathe-wonder-tape that I love :) It's killer, an hour long, and leaves me exhilirated yet panting every time!! If you don't have it, I highly recommend adding it to your collection!! Just my .02 :) Nicole

Lol ... sorry to 'burst' your bubble, but I pull it off every time. It's one of my favorite moves .. that and the tap-hop-repeater :P Keep at it ... you'll get it!! :-jumpy ~ nicole

Hi there :) Thanks for your response .. I'm curious to hear more about your experience. How long you lifted heavier, how heavy you lifted, and how long it took you to achieve satisfactory results. I've been contemplating if I should lift heavier, but have to admit, I fear that by doing so...

Hi Jayne :) Could you tell me how many times per week you're doing PS Legs? I'm contemplating going off of Power Hour (which I just started) and doing PS Legs exclusively for lower body instead, but I'm unsure how many times per week I should use it for good results. My main focus is overall...

Hi Gang! I knew if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be the Cathe crowd! Here's my problem .. while I don't need to lose weight at all, I can't seem to figure out how in the world, being a size 2, I have VISIBLE inner thigh flab!! The rest of me (arms, quads, hamstrings...

Hi Shaan :) Patience .. patience ... BodyMax is NOT an easy tape to master. The workouts you're comparing it to, while great workouts, don't have the added element of step. BodyMax has a lot of power moves. Are you performing it on a 4", 6", or 8" step? Additionally, if you've only been at...

Hey Kris :) I had to laugh at your response to me :P If Saturday was only your 2nd time doing IM, you're already doing *phenomenal*!! This one definitely takes time to 'get down'!! Bear in mind, I've been doing IM off and on for probably about two years, thus the reason why I've mastered...

I LOVE it!! It's another winner in my book, but as was mentioned, people typically either love it, or hate it. There was a lot of discussion regarding dislike of the music, but I don't mind it. I'm more focused on what I'm doing, making the music less apparent. It does have some intricate...

Lol .. Funny you referred to it as "beast" .. I used the same word in a thread earlier this morning to another cathe-ite :) Tackled it yesterday morning .. I had previously wanted to add it to my rotation twice a week .. but I just can't get pumped to do the same exact workout twice a one week...

Hey All .. Here's my week : Monday - 1st section of BodyBoxing TKO + CTX Kickbox (just cardio portion) Tuesday - Rythmic Step Wednesday - Power Hour Thursday - 6 mile run Friday - Hi/Lo Heaven (first two sections only) + Leaner Legs Saturday - Interval Max Sunday - 6.5 mile run + MIS...

Hi there :) Interval Max is definitely a beast!! I started doing it in an effort to increase my endurance level as I was training for a 5K. I started incorporating it once a week, and after about 6 months of doing it, I pulled out MIC on a whim, and was *shocked* that I got through the entire...

Just thought I'd chime in my two cents. Any time the body hits a plateau, it's usually for a few reasons. Depending on your build, your body may already be at it's ideal weight. Based on general guidelines for weight, at your height, your ideal weight is around 115, so you're only two...

Hey Jillybean - Since you're coming off of a S&H rotation, I was hoping you could tell me what your take on S&H is. It's in transit to me as I type this, and while I'm getting it mainly due to my obsession with having every tape Cathe makes, I'm a little intimidated by it. I fall into that...
