I really appreciate the rotater cuff exercise in the S&H shoulders section. I want to continue to do a rotater cuff exercise weekly even after my S&H rotation ends. Do I just keep doing this one or do any of the shoulder exercises on your other tapes work for this? None of them say they do...

Another Rhythmic Step lover here! I just did this one this morning. I hadn't been in the mood for doing cardio today but when that RS music started up, the light went on in my eyes and I flew through it and had a blast. I think the choreo is lots of fun; it did take several tries to get some...

Hi Stacy, Well, I guess my reply will just go to show that people come in all varieties--I couldn't stand Margaret Richards. I don't know why but she really bored me. I was lucky that I didn't have to spend any money to find this out, I had my parents record some of her PBS shows for me so I...

Hi Bonne, You'll be in a better position to decide on this one once you've tried out your Windsor tapes a couple of times and seen what muscles they really work. I don't have those, but I do fit in a couple days of power yoga weekly. Now that I know my tapes and how I react to them I've...

Hi Donna, I would only do the tricep dips on your regular triceps workout days, not in between, and keep the rest days for muscle recovery. Your triceps don't know if the weight you're challenging them with comes from dumbbells or your body--it's still weight to them. While we're here on...

Note: this is not the real Sonnenschein writing, I'm her daughter, but I'm not sure how to change the name thingie. You can call me Sonnenblume. 1. I have to eat my food in order: a bite of each thing in turn, generally going counterclockwise around the plate, then a sip of my drink, repeated...

Katie, Your story is just too precious. I don't know exactly when I knew that DH was the one, but I know what turned the corner to make me decide to marry him. He was ready before I was and I kept putting off deciding--I knew I loved him, but I also knew that soon he would be stationed in...

What fun! Here are the ones I've thought of so far: -I too have to completely wash the dishes before I load them into the dishwasher. And if I don't have a dishwasher, I wash them before I wash them. -I love creamed spinach so much that I have been known to order it for dessert at...

I did BodyMax for the first time yesterday and that's the first time I've ever glared at Cathe and told her she was mean. At the end of the workout I was wondering if I would ever subject myself to that again, but by now I'm ready to go for once a week to build up that endurance and watch...

Welcome Liz! This isn't a rotation idea, but I just wanted to suggest that for step videos I've found it helpful to learn Cathe's workouts in the order in which they were produced. In earlier videos she will break down and practice a new move and then just expect you to already know it when...

Hi Katie, How exciting! We're about 45 minutes drive northwest from Heidelberg. I've only been there once so far but I thought it was very beautiful. Hmm..I guess it took us 2-3 weeks to get our internet connection (and 2 months to get our computer from when they shipped it) and I have no...

Since the Leaner Legs workout has so many deadlifts in it, do I need to put a day in between doing it and doing a back workout? --Karen

Definite Krispy Kreme fan here. I'm just lucky that I can't usually get them--we're in the military and living in Germany right now. But when I was back in the States in Feb. we hit the Krispy Kreme section of the grocery store at least every other day. I brought 5 dozen on the flight back...

Uh-oh, I just ordered Get Ripped advanced last week. Better make sure the Motrin is well-stocked. So you enjoyed the Tae Bo? I'm looking forward to trying it. --Karen

Not an exhaustive list I'm sure, but here's what comes immediately to mind: Humor--I love the way you keep me grinning through all that hard work. Seeing you work so hard right along with us. I love that you manage to make step videos with interesting choreography so I don't get bored, but at...

Hi Clare, Congratulations! And great idea for a thread. I have a darling husband too. I'm new to this fitness thing, having spent the majority of my first 43 years as a 60 lb. overweight couch potato. Finally sensible, moderate eating and exercise somehow clicked with me and I lost the...

Hi Cathe, What an absolute angel he is!!! Congratulations! And it was wonderful to hear from you again. When you post more pictures and birth details on the pregnant moms forum, would you please also post a notice over here in the "ask Cathe" section to let us know that you did so? I want...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-20-02 AT 03:07PM (Est)[p]I have both Powerstrike Millenium videos and the three-pack of Katalin's that collage sells. I use and enjoy the Powerstrike more but I'm glad I was able to get both. Katalin's instructional tape is excellent and fascinating; I really loved learning...

Wow--I love that taping solution! I do my workouts on carpet and with troublesome knees too. I've found one pair of shoes so far that pivots pretty easily, they're made by K-Swiss (sorry, I don't know a model name) and were called a training shoe at my store. Basically I've just been going to...

I second the Powerstrike recommendation. I love those tapes! I haven't tried Tae Bo advanced so I can't speak for that one way or the other. Powerstrike is definitely advanced. There's not much impact, a few jumping jacks is all I can think of--oh, and a hop to change from left to right...
