Bobbi -- What sort of exercise do you do for your hamstrings that doesn't bother your knees? Thanks!

Hi, Cathe – I’ve been doing the straight leg ankle-weight leg lifts you suggested in another thread instead of the step-ups, and it has really helped my knees. What would be a good knee-friendly substitute for lunges, and an exercise that would also strengthen my hamstrings? As always, thanks...

If straight leg lifts are a good substitute for lunges, what would be good knee-friendly exercises to substitute for step-ups and squats that would work those same muscles?

and still another!!!!

I do my interval cardio work almost every morning on the treadmill, with stretching afterwards, and try to do weights at night. I have S&H, Pyramids, ME, MM and L&G. Am interested in strength (I have enough cardio work in the a.m.) and a good bone building routine probably concentrating on...

Don't know if this is right forum, but can't seem to get answer in Cathe forum. As far as pairing upper body parts for two-day rotation: S&H pairs Chest,Back Triceps,Biceps Shoulders (Paired with Legs, to be added to one of above groups) GS pairs Back,Shoulder,Biceps...

Would like to know how you suggest pairing upper body work in a two-day rotation: S&H pairs Chest,Back /Triceps,Biceps /Shoulders (Legs) (Which group would I work shoulders with?) GS pairs Back,Shoulder,Biceps/ Chest,Triceps. I have S&H and it's easy enough to split up being it's all...

>Maddiesmom, >Just curious- I have the S&H series and have yet to use it. >What is the rotation you used to get results? >Deanie:) Bumping --except I do use S&H but would love to see Maddiesmom's rotation!

>I've never heard of an ipod workout - how does it work? > >Chrissy > Another terrific site for iPod workouts is itrain.com. They have 20, 40 and 60 minute workouts for treadmill, cycling, climbing, etc. Their music is great and they have someone constanty coaching you.

Thanks a million, Cathe, for your fast response. That schedule really gives me something to go by, instead of just jumping from one workout to the other and not really having any definite plan. Incidentally, I do interval training on my treadmill almost every morning, so I am really just...

Hi, Cathe -- Glad to hear you're on your way to recovery -- hope it's fast!! I am looking for a good bone-building workout -- I have S&H, Pyramids,MM, L&G,ME, and it seems to me S&H fits this purpose the most with the slower, less reps and more strength emphasis. However, most of the...

RE: Pizza press? >Cathe, what's the "pizza press" motion?? > >(I'm sure you've taught us this, but I plead complete mental >fog... ;-)) I'd sure love to know the answer to that one, also!

Hi -- Thanks for deciding me. I was looking at the Nikon 4600 and BestBuy Online has it on sale for about $159. They also had a sale for $150 at Target but that went like lightening, although I have a rain check. Thanks to you and to everyone here! Whenever I have a buying problem, I...

Hi -- Was wondering what digital camera you used and loved that took great pictures on Cathe's (or anyone else's) road trips? Am looking to buy one for a present. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi, Resa -- I'm sure not Cathe, but I am a Fit TV-aholic! Every workout of Cathe's on Fit TV is exactly the same as her DVD's, but condensed to make time for the commercials. When I watched Power Hour and Muscle Endurance on TV, I wondered why those workouts had no shoulder work, then...

Hi, Cathe -- I know you have enough -- more than enough! -- on your plate right now, but I do wish there was some way to have an exchange forum for Cathe workouts only. Any chance of that?

Thanks so very, very much to all of you for your explanations and advice. I have a knee problem, and what I like about Legs & Glutes is the fact there are standing quad and hip and other exercises with leg weights, and I can eliminate the lunges. I tried exchanging my Supersets and Stretching...

Can you tell me the difference between Legs n Glutes (which workout I really like, as it uses ankle weights some of the time and has many exercises other than leg presses and lunges). I was wondering how Gym Style Legs compares to this, as I have the VHS version of Legs N Glutes and want to get...
