Cathe Friedrich Forums

Hello everyone, I have not blogged in a long time! In January I decided to put my long distance running on the back burner and concentrate on body building using the Body For Life program. At first I tried using Cathe DVD's on weight lifting days but it just did not work for me. I then began to follow the program as it is written and got GREAT results. I say got because I had to quit due to an injury.

I was doing back lunges with 30 pounds (my 6 rep HEAVY set) and felt something...

God Bless you Cathe for Pre-mixes. For me the workout has got to be 60 minutes or less. This was a good workout. I no longer have my green tubing and what I was using was to hard. I ended up not using it for the leg presses and used weights for the the other exercises that required tubing.

I would love to see more AWT type workouts from Cathe.

I love my dog, and I love running with her. She was all smiles on our short two mile run today.

Maybe too fast. She threw up about 20 minutes ago. She must be sick. My poor baby.
