If you are still looking for Cathe's cardio step, you can find it at: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/aa/cardio-club-step.html It is the only place I was able to find it recently. IMO, this step is a must for anybody who does a lot of step workouts. I think this company is selling what is...

I think I am coming down with a cold also. My fault for cutting down on protein intake since I had few days off work. The only time I catch a cold is when I drop my protein intake. I'm hoping I caught it in time. Here is a list of what works for me: -Bromelain (from pineapple) or eat...

I second TLC's suggestion. Karen Voight knows her stretches. You might also want to try Lastics. There are 2 of them. Check out clips at Total fitness DVDs and see if you like these.

If you have Drill Max and Low Impact Circuit, you can use those. DM and LIC are great for intense fat burning circuits. TTM and Crossfire will also work well. In LIS, AB, CS, and AT will substitute for the Low Impact X10. I like all 3 but AT is a favorite. With the right weights, it is a...

My suggestion is to stick with what you have right now and save up for the next presale which should be coming up within 6 months. Focus on increasing the weights you use safely during that time. Get a jar and pay yourself whatever change for a dollar you have left in your pocket every day you...

I have to admit I wasn't thrilled when Cathe announced the RWH series. I'm sick of HIIT in all of its form. However, I knew better than not to preorder. I knew that Cathe wouldn't put out a generic mostly forgettable set just to do HIIT. Plus I am buying for 2. I am soooooo glad I...

Low back pain for me usually means IT band tightness. I usually feel it on the left side more than the right but that is just me. It took me a long time to figure it out since it isn't the most obvious explanation. Now I stop the workout after the warm up and do IT band stretches on the half...

I have tried the combined low impact Hiit workout 3x so far and I love the music and the workout. I don't think Cathe could have done a better job putting it together. I think of the workout as training for speed and agility with great cardio benefit. The music keeps me moving. I found...

For what it is worth, I really like Lauren's workouts. I haven't bought much other than Cathe's workouts for the last 2 years. I tried YAYOG first after reading Jen's posts. I really liked the workouts as add-ons to short cardio. I can see myself doing them after Cathe's new cardio workouts...

Maddiesmum: I could have written your post. I'm not prone to depression but stress and anxiety are another story. My workouts keep me centered. I often have the same discussion with DH about my need for so many DVDs that you have with yours. Mine insists that 10 is the optimal number of...

We bought from Lowes a Samsung washer and dryer about 5 years ago with an extended warranty. The dryer broke down in its 4th year. The repair guy Lowes sent recommended Whirlpool. He said he hardly ever gets called to repair them and they are easier to take apart. He also said not to bother...

Nothing gets rid of subcutaneous fat and increases your BMR as well as high rep weight workouts done with a challenging weight. My suggestion is to do 3 months of high rep followed by STS. Cathe doesn't have too many high rep workouts. I supplement with Jari Love's first set and some of Power...

This is such a cute thread. DH doesn't understand my workout DVD collection except for my Cathe DVDs. He has been working out with Cathe since KP&C. We used to be able to workout together. I have fond memories of doing ME and MM together and passing various weights back and forth. He...

I am really hoping for some premixes that combine footage from the high and low impact workouts. Same for the upper and lower circuits. It would be nice to have the variety built into the dvds without having to create it with the workout blender. I have to admit I have been checking for...

Very precious!!!! I can see little Cathe plotting something behind those big bright eyes. I wonder what? A big bootcamp with many bonuses for all her little friends!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Leslie's 4 mile walk is equivalent to a 3 mile walk outdoors on an easy terrain, think 20 minute mile. I do this one with my mom when she visits. You can make it harder using light hand weights and doing high rep upper body movements. You can also do some jogging in place or jumping jacks...

You can use these as straight cardio including the weight segments if you use a weight that isn't the heaviest that you can handle doing 16 reps. Then they would be the equivalent of AB or SS. You will be able to do a heavy weight workout on the following day. If you go heavy then you might...

Hi TLC. You did exactly what I did when I got mine. It took me years before I actually realized that the formula doesn't work for me. A field test is you going all out to see how high you can get your HR until you just have to stop. Add 5 beats to your highest reading and use that as your...

Did you use your age to calculate your range? If you did, it may be the wrong range for you. You should do a field test to get your maximal HR. For years, I used the age based formula and didn't get as much out of of my cardio workouts. I was trying to keep my HR in the low 140's and wasn't...

Same here. When I want to do intense cardio, I reach for circuit workouts with a lot of cardio weight segments. Check out athletic training. It looks like a sweet little workout but it packs a real punch. I like Michelle Dozois Peakfit cardio and strength workouts. My HR goes through the...
