What does TTOM mean?

First of all when doing your pec/chest work, go as heavy as you can. This makes the muscles underneath the breasts stronger and thus lifts them. I was an F when I was a sz 16 now I am a C and a 6-8. I wish I was a DD. Everyone I know loses in that area when they lose a significant amount of...

Yes, I am still having the same results. My thighs, hips and even abs have all gone down 1-2" I recently started running 2 miles a day in the very early am and I absolutely love it. My treadmill was just too boring but being outside before the sun is up is an real treat. I do that first then...

You've probably already noticed this but I think it deserves a post! I do mostly Cathe videos but also some P90x and others. I am so glad to see that none of the fit women have skinny legs. It is very encouraging to me because I never have and never will have them either. Even the 2 girls in...

Thanks so much! Is your body type the type that is heavier or tends to store fat more in your lb? That's what I am. I was just wondering if hourglass or pear shapes have less need for lb weighted work. I am so glad that you said that you hardly do any lb work and you're lean. Very encouraging!

What do you do for cardio now? Try doing Cathe's all cardio tapes that include lots of plyo-Imax 2 and 3 KPC and Kickmax and then doing no lower body workouts at all. I know this would be a dramatic step. I was doing lower bod every other day heavy for over a year before I stopped. But when...

Do you think that the cardio in Imax 2, Kickmax, KPC and Cardio Kicks is enough legwork if you do them religiously? Especially if you don't want the hard toned legs (like men) just jiggle-free, tight and sleek? Maybe a legwork out 1x weekly is enough? I am afraid of bulking up again so I...

Hi Dawn! Congrats on the new baby. What a blessing! CTX is Cross Train Express IMO the best UB workout that Cathe has are Pyramid UB and the Gym Style Series-If you get those and do them religiously you will definitely see results. The chest work in Pyramid UB always burns me especially...

Well, maybe that's my answer then. I just assumed that I needed to do wts for my enitire body. Are you hourglass shaped? My legs are nicely muscular too I don't want that hard muscular look just toned and feminine. Thanks for your reply!

I have been doing weights for lower body every other day for over a year. the past 2 months I did freestyle and did lights wts every day 6 days a week. I saw very little improvement over the year. I did maintain but that last 10-12 lbs wouldn't come off. Well, these past 3 weeks I...

I am sorry that it has taken me so long to w/b. i read this at least a week ago thought I had responded then. I am 38 married with 2 daughters 5 and 3. I wo 6x weekly for 2 hours daily. I do weights daily and lower body daily. I do ub every other day or I just vary muscles. I do my triceps...

RE: Weights Every Day? Hi again Elizabeth! I do legs/lower body 6x weekly because that's my problem area so I want to hit it really hard in order to keepit under control. It has worked well for me. For chest, just do it every other day-even if you don't do the whole tape/dvd just do the...

My legs were laden with cellulite and now I have one little section to get rid of right under my glutes. I currently wo 6x weekly and do freestyle for my legs. I do 1/2 -1 hr of intense cardio daily in addition to ub/lb weight training but it seems like the cellulite won't budge-at least not...

Hi Elizabeth! thanks for your reply. CTX is Cross Train Series. I do not have many tapes from that series just the upper body one and it is ok but I would stick with Upper Body pyramid and the GS series. If you do chest work (heavy)2-3 times weekly you will see a real lift. I have actually...

Hey Brendazzzzz! You're the one that I bought the cd from right? Tooo funny! No I haven't figured it out yet. Today I did the extreme (standing only) version of legs and glutes. I did the cardio part of kpc afterwards but i really think that the legs and glutes can count as cardio too. The...
