    Suggestion for Intensity series....

    We love you, Cathe, but wouldn't it be a blast to hear from your background exercisers? Cedie,especially is such an inspiraton. Actually, all the girls are great, and I can tell you have a great camaraderie among all of you. It would be really fun to see them take turns maybe teaching a...

    Suggestions? - Upper Body Split

    60 minutes gets my vote, too! Are we greedy or what?

    Suggestions? - Boot Camp Circuit

    I would really like 60minutes. But to keep those who want a shorter workout happy, how about ending the cycles after 45minutes, and including an extended ab workout, or a really nice long, maybe yoga-focused stretch? I really love the stretch in Step Fit!

    Announcing "The Intensity Series"

    OK, my heat rate's in my training zone just reading about these! I'm in! When? When? When? I must keep repeating to myself "Patience is a virtue...patience is a virtue...patience is a virtue....!"

    2 Good Firm Workouts?

    Probably. IMHO, nothing beats the Classics, esp Vols 1,2,3. Whenever I'm in a FIRM mood, those are what I go back to.

    What next?

    Hi! Wow, Body Max--in its entirety, for 18months!! I would be burned out, too. How about something different? Try separating your strength from your cardio. The PS series is fabulous. You could alternate this with straight cardio. Most of Cathe's step tapes are an hour in length, all are...

    Beginner Step Video

    If by beginner, you mean choreography, try Step Heat. It's shorter than Cathe's other step tapes, with a great abs section at the end. I don't think she has any beginner level workouts in terms of intensity, though. Her later step tapes assume you know moves from earlier ones, so they move...

    Rude customer service ....

    Here's something that always works for me when I am being treated poorly. Ask, very sweetly, for the person's name! I just say "I'm sorry, what is your name?" That always works.

    Leaner Legs soreness - ooooouch

    Jillybean is right. You should be able to find this tape. I think lots of Cathe fans are converting to DVD, so occasionally, you'll see the entire CTX set of videos up for sale/trade. That's what I did. I just love the versatility of this DVD!

    ctx...one more time

    Hi! I LOVE this series! :-jumpy I really don't think you need a lot of room, if I remember correctly, Cathe does do some boxes around the step, but all is easily modified. As for weights, you can use weights you have been using in other workouts. However, as you get stronger, you will need...

    Leaner Legs soreness - ooooouch

    Stretching is not important before you work out. Muscles should be really warm to stretch effectively, this just doesn't happen after only a warm-up. However, a thorough,effective stretch after working out can really help reduce next day soreness, I think because it improves blood flow, and...

    What have I DONE???

    No, no,, no! Don't ease into CTX. Jump right in! ;-) I did my first rotation with this series last week. I LOVE it! The cardio is very intense, but short, it's much easier for me to commit to 30minutes as opposed to 60minutes of tough cardio. The strength training is some of the best Cathe...

    which DVD's to buy??

    This will go over your $100 budget, but I think you should get the CTX DVD. I think it's $90, but you get 6 complete workouts on 2 discs. It consists of 30min of intense cardio, followed by training one body part for 5 days, then a lower body training day-Leaner Legs. As a bonus, there's a...

    Cardio or Weights First?

    Hi, Pam. I'm not Cathe, but what works for me is I usually separate my cardio days from my strength days. I really feel I need that focus during strength, I like to train pretty heavy, and I need all my energy for that!!! The exception is when I do circuit training, or lately, doing the CTX...

    CTX--Hip-hip hooray!!!!!

    I just started my first CTX rotation. This series is fun,fun, fun! And so effective. Just when I think Cathe can't possibly think up new ways to strength train, she does it again! I love the upper body work on these workouts. I really think the DVD makes all the difference here, I am...

    Step Jam - Anybody Willing To Comment?

    This remains one of my all-time Cathe favorites! I love that shuffle repeater! OH, CATHE, when do we get a DVD with your older step workouts on it???????

    Cathe--More floor work!

    Hi, Cathe. Since it looks like you'll be filming later this year, how about some more killer floorwork for lower body? The floor work in PS-Strong legs and abs is the best I've seen anywhere! I would really love more like this, to cross-train with all those killer squats/lunges you make us...
