    Cathe-please help me with the 4 day split

    You can always modify and do the step routine on the floor. You will just have to use bigger movements (ie. larger arm movements) in order to get your heart rate up higher. Just some thoughts until Cathe chimes in...

    Stability ball push ups

    I also placed mine at the corner of two walls. I gradually moved mine to just one wall (and sometimes still when I lack that extra balance and coordination- LOL). I can now do them directly on the ball in the middle of the room. It does take balance, strength, and coordination. Somedays your...

    Power turning squats

    Are you referring to the squat jumps that you do a 180 degree turn on the halfway on the step (I think Bmax2 and Imax2)? They are tough to do at first. You just have to make sure that you are picking up your foot that is on the floor when you are about to do the "turn". I would start by doing...

    Cathe Am I Repeating Repeating Myself?

    I am 5' 8" and I find myself enjoying the 6 inch (one pair of risers) still. I believe you can get a solid, effective workout using this height. I also change up my step program, mix up my aerobics (floor, step, kickbox, eliptical, etc.), as well as mix up the impact (high vs low and mixed). I...

    Cathe Am I Repeating Repeating Myself?

    <<And do you usually prefer to workout on six (6)inch step rather than an eight(8)? What about an 10 incher? I know that you have done both 6&8. Does the Step height have to do with your Height? Not Cathe, but she mixes up 6 and 8 inch ( 1 or 2 risers respectively), but does not use 10...

    New series--please consider showing us how to modify......

    RE: Please continue to market to the advanced... Not trying to butt in your conversation, Alison, but you may consider dropping to a 6 inch step to help protect your knees from future problems. Sure you may not have had any problems from the step to date, but many times one knee injury can make...

    Banana Holds

    I don't have a problem holding my legs low- it is actually lifting them without using momentum. Thanks for the advice, and yes I will start back at working at them:)

    Banana Holds

    Cathe or anyone who can offer some advice~ I have been skipping the Banana holds section of the LIC workout because I cannot do them. I have worked myself up to levitation holds, as well as many other challenging ab routines, but I just can't do banana holds without using one leg to push me up...

    Cathe - Running input for Shock Your Body Rotation

    RE: Thanks for such a quick response during this busy time! Thanks Tricia for asking this question. I am also doing this rotation and haven't ran in a long time (I really don't like the shin splints that I get everytime I try to start running again). I think I will follow Cathe's suggestions as...

    Cramps when doing cardio

    Nothing new to add, other than agreeing with the other posters. I wait at least 2 hours after eating for cardio, and depending on how "heavy" the meal was will determine the impact of my routine. Typically, however, I do not eat heavy dinners. Also, make sure you aren't taking shallow breaths...
