Hi Everyone, I have agreed to lend my P90X program to a friend, so I will need a tape similar to the yoga X tape. I hate it, but I try to do it two or three times a month. Is there another yoga tape that is similar in terms of intensity? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Vickie

Hi Everyone, I got P90x for Christmas! I am so excited!! I have one question, when you go to phase II in the exercise portion, is this when you go to phase II in the diet portion? I think it is at week 5. Thanks so much, I can't wait to get started. Vickie

Cathe, I won't be able to try the cardio portions on the new tapes for awhile(Plantar Fasciitis), but I have been doing the weight sections and I'm very sore - in a good way! My question is this: In double upper body is it just the kickback portion repeated in the tricep section, or do I...

Hi everyone, I'm not able to try most of my new DVD's because of an aerobics ban from my podiatrist for the last 4 months! (I'm almost all healed!!), but I'm allowed to do weights, and I was thinking of trying B&G tomorrow. I was supposed to do GS legs, would B&G be a good substitute for GS...

I purchased a spinning bike this summer, and I have been doing the Johnny G videos that came with it. (Spin and Burn, Spin and Slim, and Spin and Sculpt). I am thinking of buying the spinnervals "fitness" series, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me how they compare to the Johnny G tapes...

Hi Everyone, I am thinking about buying a spinning bike, and I need some advice. I cannot stand exercise bikes, but I have heard that spinning is entirely different. Those of you that have spinning bikes, do you love them? Do you usually use a spinning video with them, and where did you buy...

Hi everyone, I am suffering from plantar fasciitis, which I had never even heard of until it hit me. I have been stretching as is suggested, which was helping, but the pain has gotten severe. I use to be able to work out without any problems, the pain would just bother me in the PM, and...

I got up this morning (at 4am mind you), all excited because today was my "easy" day in the January rotation. Imax3 has become the EASY day! I just laughed at myself, because I was really pumped-up for it today. Had a great workout and the day has started off terrific. Hope everyone else has a...

Hello everyone, I know this has nothing to do with working out, but I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I saw a hilarious movie when I was much younger called Vanities on HBO. It stared Meredith Baxter Birney, Shelley Hack and Annette O'Toole. I have tried looking for it on VHS...

Dear Cathe, I have always wondered how hard should I push myself when I'm ill. I usually do a workout no matter what, unless I'm really sick. At the moment I have some respiratory gunk. Last week I was on antibiotics and had a fever for 5 days. Needless to say, I took a couple days off then...

Hi everyone, I was thinking of doing a rotation using a 6 day split with the Slow and Heavy series (1 body part per day), and alternating Bootcamp with some other cardio activity too. So, I would do Bootcamp 3 alternate days with the 30 min. of Slow/Heavy and 3 of Cathe's other tapes such as...

Anyone, please help. I can match Cathe pretty much pound for pound on most tapes, it's touph, but I can finish. I usually do 3 weight workouts and 3 cardio. I cannot get firm. I can tell that I have muscle, but my skin seems loose, and I'm very "lumpy". Will eating clean really make me get...

Hi everyone, Sorry to broach such a personal subject, but I figured this is the largest place I know to "poll" women. I am supposed to start this new birth control this evening, but one of the side effects says "weight gain". My doctor knows I'm terrified of this, and he says that since I...

Hi Everyone, Is it just me, or does flourescent light make you look 100 times worse than you thought you looked? Lately I've actually been thinking that my thighs were looking better. Firmer and tighter. Then, I went for a mamagram today,(as if that wasn't bad enough!)and when I removed my...

Wow,my husband got me Rythmic Step (and Power Hour) for my birthday, and I did Rythmic Step this morning. I loved it! Fun, fun, fun. I have never fallen off my step so much though. I just couldn't get those step tap on the board at the end. The foot work in the 2nd section was tricky, but I...

Does anyone else find this to be true? Whenever I do Cardio and Weights I sweat buckets! Now believe me, I know there are far more challenging Cathe videos. There are other cardio videos and weight training videos of her's that I find much more difficult and intense, but for some reason I seem...

Dear Cathe, Hi, you devised a summer workout program for another member that looks really intriguing, but I have a few questions. In week # 2 and 3, you say to do an hour of strength training, 4 days a week, 2 body parts per session. On the 4th day are you supposed to do a total body workout...

Dear Cathe, I was just wondering, which of your workouts would you consider very high intensity cardio besides the Imax1 and 2 workouts? Would Step Blast be considered very high intensity? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks, and HAPPY MOTHER's DAY! Vickie

Hi everyone, Has anyone done Windsor Pilates, and if so, what did you think? I'm not much of a yoga person. The infomercial (yes, I admit, I watched it!) looked a lot like calenetics. Has anyone gotten any great tightening results from these tapes? Just curious. I thought it might be...

Hi everyone, I have done all of the new BB videos and I am loving them so far. I must admit though, I am a bit afraid to try legs and glutes after the leg work in push pull and supersets. Those slow low ends are killing me! Is this workout really a killer or is just "normal" Cathe killer. Any...
