Hello, educated crowd! I'm in the fifth week of my first PS rotation and I am really enjoying it. I'm definately seeing some nice strength gains and putting on some good upper body muscle. I'm puzzled, though, that I often find the "complementary" part of my body sore after a particular...

Yippee! I already know what I'm going to be asking for for my birthday in September - pre-orders for new tapes. Hooray! Sophie

Are you more interested in cardio or strength, or both? PS is known for being one of the slowest, heaviest lifting tapes available, and it's all lifting. There's no cardio in it at all, so you'd have to tack on your own cardio or do it on alternate days. CTX has a short, but INTENSE cardio...

get a door attachment! Hope you don't mind my popping in on this thread. I don't have the SPRI products, but years ago I got a similar exercise tubing set-up called the Lifeline Gym. It really was helpful to supplement the free weights I was doing at home. It came with a bar and door...

Your husband indeed doesn't know what an amazon your are! MIC all the way thru the first time! I am in awe. I have yet to tackle it. Some day. I love the hi-lo portion too - it was the first tape I ever got that really gave me that exhilirating feeling I got from early 90's aerobic classes...

those were my first tapes too, Daffy! Well, second, third and fourth Cathe tapes. Previous to that I had been using Kathy Smith, Karen Voight, and some Firms. Needless to say, acquiring MIS, MIC, Body Max, and Interval Max blew me away. While I think it would still be great to get some of her...

I'm definately too disorganized to write anything down - but I look on the box and find out how many minutes long the strength section is, and once I'm done the cardio cool down, I FF for that many minutes. Or, I *guess* if you were skipping the cardio and wanted to go straight to strength...

CK sales, video exchanges I never knew about CK sales until I followed the link from Cathe's site. I wish I'd known about them ages ago! Everytime a package appears on the doorstep DH gives me a look and says "Is that from CK sales?", my (almost) four-year old says "It's for you mommy! It's...

I HAVE burst into tears! ...after that 8th segment. Don't do this tape when you have PMS! I loathe those endless plyo jacks in one of the early segments. I like the power scissors segment, as well as those leaps where you cross your back leg behind you, and the lunges on top of the step...

Hey! I'm in Alberta. There are at least two other Canadians here, in Saskatchewan. I'm sure there are more. MIS was my first Cathe tape and I HAD to get more! I just got the PS series for Christmas and will be starting that at the end of the month. Until I tried Cathe's tapes I thought of video...

I don't think so.... There was a recent thread on the VF forum answered by a reliable poster who is ACE (AFAA too I think) certified, and the answer was that the definition of high impact is that both feet come off the ground at the same time. Jumping jacks, plyos, etc. That's not the same as...

RE: here's the scoop, Sophie! OMG! You just about made me blow coffee out my nose!! I'm glad things seem to be doing better and you were able to see the humour in it. Immediete and aggressice RICEing works wonders, doesn't it? A little Tensor bandage always seems to help, too. Sounds like you...

RE: I can get into VF, but... It was so slow I timed out while trying to read about your bath mat story! So I still don't know what happened...will try to have a look when the forum is up and working, because it sounds interesting. I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble getting in...

Denise, I have no suggestions, just saying I'm sorry you have to face this. It sounds like something of a setback for someone who has really been on a roll with her progress fitness-wise. I've enjoyed reading your rotations and about your results. Hope you are feeling okay and it sounds like...

Oh my, honeybunch, it's Christmas afternoon and I am stuffed with Holy Cow cake and swooning with ecstacy. A bit dizzy, too! I don't normally ingest that much sugar at one time! I rarely make cakes because it's hard for me not to eat half a pan at once - but I'm glad I splurged on this one. I...

Hi Stacy, I love both the Firm and Cathe, but I would have to say I tend to use Cathe when I want to go all out intensity-wise, and the Firm when I want a fun/shorter/effective/not as intense day. I still think they are excellent and the two styles are very different, but complement each other...

sugar AND pork fat Well then, here's something you and Emeril can agree on... when I was growing up (family from the Philippines) there was a specialty my mom made for the holidays called Copia (sp?). Anyway, the main ingredients were pork lard, sugar, and green onions. I can't remember what...

Hey honeybunch, I always print out the recipes you post but haven't made any yet. But I went out and got all the ingredients for this one, which I am going to make this weekend when I turn off my "food conscience" for a few festive days! I keep walking by the cupboard and picking up the box of...

RE: Thank you, Susan KarenO, I think this is an interesting and thought-provoking thread you started, and you got a lot of great responses! I agree that it's sad indeed that third graders are starting to worry about their body image (probably has to do with the hoochie-mama clothes they seem...

Here's what I'm munching on now.... ...it's not Christmas in my house without butter tarts. I made these for my kids' daycare party using pre-made tart shells, but you can use pie pastry to line muffin tins and make them that way too (more authentic). Here's the filling: 1 1/2 c seedless...
