    A reintroduction and some questions

    Hi everyone! A little bit about me and then my questions. If you want to skip the sappy stuff, skip to the end. :) I used to be a regular on here, but have been gone for several years. My husband passed away unexpectedly after complications from heart surgery in 2014 and I lost the desire...

    Bent Over Rear Delts vs. Back Flyes??

    Did XTrain Chest, Back, and Shoulders last night. Love it! But what am I doing wrong? Round 4 Bent Over Rear Delt Drop Sets seem the same as Round Six Back Fly on Stability Ball (which I don't like the feeling of so I do them bent over). The first is a shoulder exercise and the second is a back...

    Is there an easy way to print out the different rotations?

    Rather than refer to my manual or resorting to re-typing a rotation, I'm wondering if the rotations are listed somewhere so we can print them out? ETA: I'm referring to the XTrain rotations.

    STS Total Body and High Reps in the same rotation?

    Hi! I've been a longtime Cathe fan. In January, I finally got back to working out after a year+ off. I'm wanting to use some of my new (to me) workouts in a rotation. I got STS TB and High Reps last year, but only recently tried them. Have used High Reps a few times, love it. Did STS upper...

    What to do after a Slow & Heavy rotation?

    I have one more week of my S&H rotation and am wondering what to follow it up with. Should I do something more strength oriented like Pure Strength or the Gym Styles? Or should I do something more endurance related with high reps - Power Hour, Muscle Endurance, Muscle Max, High Step...

    Oxygen Glutes Special Collector's Issue?

    Just wondering if anyone has the Oxygen Glutes Special Collector's Issue. Saw it the other day but only had a few minutes to skim through it. I'm wondering if it's anything special and worth getting, or if it's just full of Hydroxycut ads and basic info.

    Questions about Upper Body work from BM2

    Hi everyone, Just wondering who likes the UB work from BM2 and how do you incorporate it? Meaning, do you do it as part of the whole BM2 workout? Do you just do the upper body part for an UB workout day? Do you do it as is or double or what? I admit I'm not big on stepping so I've...

    Favorite Cathe ab workouts?

    Just wondering what everyone's favorite ab workouts are. I love the ones on CoreMax and Butts & Guts. When I want something shorter, I like the one from Power Hour and Muscle Max. I think I like either the one from LIC or BM2, but it's been awhile so I can't remember which one I really...

    Fitness magazine. Worth $6 for a year?

    I used to get Fitness magazine, but outgrew it, I guess. The workouts were blah, same old skinny models, etc. However, we got a "special" offer to get a year subscription for $6. Do you think it's worth it?

    Looked through the Collage catalog...thoughts on the following non-Cathe workouts?

    Cathe workouts make up about 90% of my library. It seems every time I try a non-Cathe workout, I end up being disappointed. Either the production stinks, the workout is boring, or it is ineffective and feels like a waste of time afterwards. So any thoughts on the following would be...

    Anyone have UnderArmour athletic shoes?

    Anyone have Under Armour athletic shoes? I'm making my Christmas wishlist for DH and would like a pair of comfy crosstrainers for doing kickboxing, weight training, a little bit of step... I'm curious if you have these, which style do you have (Speed or Evade) and do you wear the size you'd...

    Forgot about the endless reps in Muscle Endurance!

    I did the ME Upper Body premix last night - first time I've used this DVD in many months. I remembered the biceps section being dreadful, but I forgot about the neverending chest flyes (flies?) and overhead triceps extensions. I kept having to take breaks... Does anyone else take breaks? If...

    What other UB workout to alternate w/PUB?

    Hi, It's been awhile since I posted. Took a little time off from working out, finally getting back into the groove. I've been doing PUB for my upper body workout, looking for suggestions on what might be good to alternate it with. I was considering the UB premixes from Supersets...

    Has anyone seen the BodyWorlds exhibit?

    DH and I went and saw the BodyWorlds 2 exhibit last weekend in Baltimore. Since it's one of those traveling exhibits and has been all over the country, I was curious if anyone else has seen this and what you thought of it. It's a controversial exhibit, but I'm glad I saw it. Very...

    Exercise causing facial wrinkles?

    I'm serious! When I work out, I make some pretty weird faces. I've noticed that lately right after working out, my "11" lines are much more pronounced. Anyone else notice this?

    Need another back exercise to sub for pullovers

    I'm currently doing PUB. I love pullovers, but my shoulder has been bothering me off and on the last few months and pullovers tend to aggravate it. (By the way, so do overhead triceps extensions if that matters.) Anyone have any suggestions for another back exercise?

    Ab Circuits Questions

    Forgive me if this has been asked already. I tried to do a brief search (while I'm "working") to see if this was discussed but couldn't find anything... Is the price of this DVD ($19.99) a pre-sale price or is that the price it will always be? Approximately how long will each section be...
