Hi It would be great to have a total body isometric exercise DVD. It would provide some variety and could also be used by people who are recovering from an injury. Thanks, Pat

I make small meatballs out of ground turkey breast, egg whites, and herbs. I freeze them and then take a couple out at a time and microwave them. Pat

Hi Stephanie, Not Cathe, but.... To stop a metabolic slowdown while dieting, Tom Venuto (www.BurnTheFat.com) offered this advice (paraphrased from one of his newsletters): 1) Lose slowly, no more than 1% of total body weight per week. Smaller women will lose much more slowly than men...

I bought a Dyson Stowaway Canister Vac for my wood floors and I love it. Its pricey but worth it - and they do go on sale. Its bagless and it has a lifetime HEPA filter for the exhaust so that its free of allergens. It has a rug attachment with a motorized brushbar. Can't say that its quiet...

Hi I have a couple of gentle suggestions for next year's calendar. I bought the calendar this year and I love it. The only problem is that many of the pictures of Cathy show her dressed in black against a black background. I would love to be able to see Cathy's physique. Its part of the...

Hi, There are premixes, sort of. Each body part group is chaptered so you can select the chapter for legs, shoulders, chest, back, triceps, bicepts, abs, and do just that body part. The warmup and stretch is also chaptered. Pat (Hum... someone's been using my login name - by mistake I...

I used to be in a similar situation. After working out for many years, all of a sudden my quads were constantly sore. I was doing step aerobics, floor aerobics, and walking on hilly terrain. I didn't think I needed to do a leg strength workout because I was already working my legs so much. I...

Shayne, I also workout in the morning right after I get up. I fix myself a bowl of oatmeal with protien powder, walnuts, and blueberries (or other fruit) and I eat 1/3 of it. After I exercise and shower I microwave the rest and eat it. Also, I try to space my food intake out over the...

Heidi, I Goggled "body fat analyzer" and found this information: http://www.virginlifecare.co.za/faq/faq_hz_body_fat_percentage.aspx I'm not sure how accurate the technology is. Pat

Michele, What helps keep me motivated to exercise (or get up early, or clean the house, or....) is to refuse to negotiate with my inner voice. I schedule a time to do something and I refuse ask myself, "Should I exercise now?" If I ask I can think of many reasons not to: I could wait until...

I read somewhere on this forum that the quads get exhausted alot earlier then the glutes, so they are the limiting factor. The suggested exercises were those where you are on your hands and knees and moving the leg up (bent and straight leg) and those where you are on your back in 'bridge'...

(I'm Pat) I have Amy Bento's "10 Minute Solution Tone Trouble Zones!" which contains only Dynaband exercises, is at the intermediate level, and is 51 minutes long(ships with a green dynaband). I bought it to use when I travel, but I don't find it very challenging. You can go to...

Thanks for the suggestions. I love yoga but I'm in the same situation of trying to fit it in with strength training and cardio. I use yoga for stretching and relaxation. The tape (its available on DVD too) that I absolutely love is AM & PM Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss, with Suzanne...
