I used Slim and Lean / Get Ripped to the Core for a while because they got the job done with minimual fuss/equipment. But I never felt the need to get more of her workouts.

For me a large part of a workout dvd's appeal is the music. A workout has to be better than spectacular for me to buy it, if the music is not "wow" to my taste. I only have MMA Boxing,MMA Fusion and Travel Fit from Shock Cardio and I like the music on all three a lot. I am getting more use than...

Hi Cathe, I have never taken a hot yoga class. Where I live it is always hot. In summer it can get to 104 degrees so I know what it is like to do yoga in the heat. I like the Bikram sequence of poses and like to do non-flowing/non-power styles of yoga at least as often as I do the flowing style.

Linda, By skipping to the last exercise and then using the back button on the remote to skip chapters in reverse....I havent done it myself, too myuch fiddling with a remote for my tastes.

I dont have STS, but usually exercise routines are set up so that multi-joint movements (like press) are completed first before isolating the muscle group being worked in that session (or so "experts" say). Unless the flys are intended as a pre-exhaust, they are usually performed after the...

Karie, A complete protein is defined as a single food containing all nine essential amino acids. Soy and quinoa qualify from plant sources. The complete protein theory that said vegetarians needed to combine different plant based proteins in a single meal to get all nine nutrients at the same...

Apple has had to postpone the release outside United States twice because the demand in the States has been far more than expected. The iPad is still not available (it sells at over 200% premium in the grey market!) outside USA. It is an entertainment device that has limited business use...

Karie, I am a vegetarian who has found visiting the United States very easy diet-wise, with so many delicious options. I eat at many mainstream restaurant chains like P F Changs, Baja Fresh, Fresh Choice, Olive Garden when I am there. If anything I find the vegan options on the menu at most...

Oh! How could I forget Walking Strong? Very unique. Love it. Havent yet ordered Walking Stronger though because I am getting my cardio at home these days and I dont have a treadmill. I created a treadmill walking lunge trend at my gym when I used to do Walking Strong.

I am not much of a step person. My Tracey faves: - Hi/Lo Medball - CKBC - Cardio Sweatfest - Strike Zone

I plan to check out HP Slate (runs Windows 7 OS, can print, can multi-task) and the Notion Ink Adam (Android OS based touch screen tablet with low-light display technology that is kind on the eyes) before I decide. Both alternatives have a camera for video chat.

A periodized strength training series, perhaps undulating, with full body workouts.

Tony Horton - I love his personality but I prefer Cathe's style of strength training much better. Kelly Coffey Meyer's 30 Minutes to fitness Weights is a DVD that I enjoy as much as my Cathe strength. It is actually two 30 minute spilt workouts but there is an hour long full-body workout from...

Sherri, I do not weight train with Cathe at home for precisely the same reason you said. I dont have nor wish to deal with equipment at home. I have taken Cathe workouts on an ipod nano worn on a wrist band (made by Marware) to the gym. I cant see video while working out if I use an arm...

Sean O Malley, Tracey Staehle, Kelly CM. I buy a lot of yoga but I dont consider them Cathe alternatives.

This is heartrending. I will sign a petition, but I am not sure that helps. Especially in a country like China where there is no Western style democracy. I am sorry to sound pessimistic.

Apple doess not let you transfer music from ipods to itunes/computer. This is apparently to prevent piracy. Hope Gayle's link helps. (Hi Gayle :) )

Nan, Here is some encouragement from someone who did NOT find it hard to give up diet coke / pop. I found it so ridiculously easy that I was surprised. I replaced it with sparkling water (plain soda sans any chemicals) with a wedge of lemon thrown in if it is easily available. Another...

Less intense, but well worth having. MMA boxing is more fun in my opinion. I enjoy KPC a great deal. MMA Boxing has a unique feel to it because of the punching interleaved with agility drills.

gaijin, I dont have the dvds and I am not a fan of this genre, but I recollect VF opinions when these were released. iBallet has quite a following there. The consensus comparing iBallet to ATRM dvds seems to have been: - Grace is an excellent audio coach but her form on video isnt the best -...
