RE: Whats your favorite Snacks or light meal (lunch or breakfast usually) 1. Apples 2. Yogurt 3. Strawberries and/or blueberries with low fat cottage cheese 4. Whole wheat toast (I like Nature's Own Double fiber bread...40 calories and 5 grams fiber per slice and it tastes good) with...

I never thought it would happen to me. I don't know why not, I have struggled with my weight all my life! In the past 6 or 7 years, I have pretty much "won the battle" with running, Cathe work outs and healthy eating and at 48 or so was looking good. I read about the fat that accumulates on...

I had PF a couple of years ago. Tried various things...icing it, stretching, etc. Changing the brands of shoes I wear completely cured mine. I wear Dansko shoes and Munro shoes, both of these lines of shoes have polyurethane soles that protect your foot against the "pound of the pavement" and...

I'm with you, no "diets" please. I can't say that I saw results without paying attention to what I eat but, definitely yes, I saw results without "dieting". That's been the wonderful thing about weight training with Cathe for me. I have not been on "a diet" in over 5 years and I have lost about...

In push/pull, what size stability ball are you using on the video. I am 5'4" and bought the one recommended for my height but mine looks smaller (I can tell just by comparing where the ball height is when you are doing inner thights, etc.) than the ones you (Cathe) are using? Maybe I just need...

I am a physician trained in traditional medicine with no training at all in alternative medicine, although I do read alot about it. In my own experience though with the herbals, I am convinced that zinc and echinacea are beneficial in fighting colds. I am a pediatrician and I work in a pediatric...

I had done very little "weight" training when I started doing Cathe 5 or 6 years ago so I would say that "yes" you can jump right in. I would just suggest taking it light at first, maybe even go through the weight routines without much weight a few times but you might be surprised at how quickly...

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I have increased my running by about 5 miles per week, cut back on calories abit and done mostly strength training (instead of endurance) concentrating on trying to increase the weight. Even though it's not been long, can already see a difference so...

I have a question please for Cathe or anyone in this educated crowd.. I am 48 years old,post-menopausal (went through this pretty early), have fought "fat" pretty much all my life. In the last 4 years I have lost about 30 pounds and have toned up and lost inches by doing a combination of...

I'd really like to see and "Ab and core" tape that has all your recent ab and core workouts on one tape, such as those from PUB, Boot camp, etc....planks and all. I have enjoyed the ab hits tape as I sometimes just put it in and do one or two of the ab workouts every day no matter what other...

Maybe I am missing the point on the need for the ministep and, if so please forgive me (and enlighten me!) but you can get the same effect if height is what you are looking for by purchasing extra risers for a regular step bench. I bought a set of 4 and raised my bench up 4 risers high. Or am I...

Any possibility that the new videos will be for individual sale or will they be sold as "a package". I would love to be able to purchase them individually! I don't do much step, etc at home as I run or go to a class for aerobics so end up buying things I don't use so I can get the strength...

I was just cruising this forum and your note caught my attention cuz my legs are the one thing I just can't get rid of the fat on! Cellulite on the thighs...I'm just curious, did this Bun and Thigh rocker help you get rid of cellulite and fat on thighs or did you have that problem to begin with...

I'm hoping to shake off 5 pounds of stubborn weight. Would this be a good rotation to do that with. Was thinking of trying to add an extra cardio each week to this one? thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will try these. I had read somewhere about a modification of the side lift oblique work where you could bend your leg on the floor at the knee and fully extend the top leg. When I tried this one,it didn't really feel like I was doing anything. thanks again.
