Last time I did Boot Camp I tried something a little different, and I really liked it. After the minute of legs in each segment, I reversed the dvd and repeated it twice more. So, I had 1 minute cardio, 3 minutes legs, 1 minute upper body and 1 minute abs. I plan to do the same for upper body...

Mine acted up right away. The first time I put it in, it made a horrible humming noise, and I couldn't hear Cathe. Then it started to freeze and skip. I think if yours is ok now, it should be fine.

Just wanted to let everyone know how exceptional the customer service is at cathe.com. They are sending me a new disc, even though I can't return the old one. My husband finally ripped out the in and out tray, and we still can't get the disc out. Cathe and her people are truly amazing, and...

Can you explain the Mr. Spectacular and Mr. Athlete workouts? The names alone sound awesome. Love the rope tabatas!!!

Could you describe Power Max? I'm not fond of step aerobics right now (actually, step aerobics isn't fond of my foot), so I'm looking for something with minimal step and maximum intensity.

Incline running is great for your glutes, and I've never heard of anyone complaining about it bulking their legs too much. I do it regularly (mostly in my HIIT) and I haven't had a problem.

I've also recently read that front squats (holding the barbell in front rather than across your traps) is much better for the back and knees that traditional back squats. Works the muscles equally as well, but with less force on the areas that don't need it!

I'm another one who's regretting the sun worshipping from the past! I still love to lay in the sun with a good book, or go for a long run on a warm sunny day. Now I at least try and remember to put on sunscreen. Has anyone heard of any effective topical products that minimize the look of...

No, the tv is fairly new, and it worked fantastic on other discs. The repairman said that he would have to destroy the player in order to remove the disc, and since it's a permanently installed in the tv, he didn't want to take a chance and damage the tv. He pushed the tray back inside the tv so...

I get tired of the game play also. I sometimes wonder if some of the drama is scripted. I agree that Ron should go home. I couldn't believe it when he decided that it should be Mandi - who made him the king of the elimination room? He's so restricted with what he can do, it's only a matter of...

Cleaning it was a good suggestion. In fact, when SNM replied to my email about replacing the disc, they suggested that I try cleaning it first. I looked at the disc, but it didn't looked warped to me. I'm going to hook up an old player to the tv so that we can still watch dvds on it, but I'm...

I recently received Bootcamp/Muscle Endurance, and every time I tried to play it, the sound was bad, or it would skip or pause. I cleaned the disc (following the dvd school instructions), and tried again. It started to play better, but when I tried to remove it from the player, it was stuck...

Thanks for the info!

Another question for you guys who have the Bootcamp/ME dvd. Mine makes a horrible humming noise - I can barely hear Cathe. It gets stuck frequently, and sometimes my dvd player says "faulty disc." Has anyone else had any problems with the dvd? I'm getting ready to send mine back for an...

I've heard that too - you can't do a quality workout on an empty stomach. For me, I workout 5 days a week on an empty stomach (ok, I have 1/2 cup of coffee and a glass of water first), and my workouts are very intense. On the weekends I usually eat first, wait 2-3 hours, then workout. Sometimes...

Over the last several years I've done early morning workouts, late afternoon workouts, and some evening workouts. All factors considered, I've had much better luck with early morning workouts. I do have to get up at 4:30 a.m., but as soon as my feet hit the floor, I'm ok with being up that...

If you're looking for quality kettlebell workouts, check out www.aos.com. It's the Art of Strength site. I have several of Anthony's dvds and they can't be beat for quality, intensity, and a no-dread factor. Also, Steve Cotter has excellent dvds as well. From her replies in the past it...

Not Cathe, but here's what I do, and it works well for me. I lift heavy 3 days per week, and do about 20 minutes of interval cardio after lifting on those days. I do one or two days of longer, moderate intensity cardio. This can be done numerous ways - bootcamp-type workouts, circuits...

Thanks guys! I didn't realize there was a hard copy available. I checked Barnes & Noble online, and it wasn't there. Maybe I have to order it from Venuto's site?

I'm thinking about ordering this book, and was wondering if those of you who have read it could give me your opinion. Worth the money or not? Is the information really applicable, and is this a book you go back to again and again for info.? Thanks!
