Oh my gosh, I am so behind (been overseas for 2 weeks and getting it together now that I'm back in the states" Thank you for answering my question, Cathe!! I am EXTREMELY surprised!!!

Thanks so much! I have similar shoulder pain doing a military push-up. Plus my back starts bending in. I do the core engagement, but I keep having to re-adjust. I think I know the article you're talking about. Plus I know the push-up series in Low Impact Circuit. I have a hard time with...

The P90X Legs and Back are pretty easy. We'll the legs are easy; the back portion is all pull ups which I can't do in my apartment anyway due to low ceiling and weak archways, so I normally do rows or something in replace of it. But I can't always sub another DVD back workout the next day or...

Hi everyone, Question. Im currently trying (for time number 2) to do a P90X rotation. But Im not happy with the Legs and Back routine. Back is challenging but the lowerbody doesn't seem to be too difficult for the most part. Is Butts and Guts a suitable alternative? I know it's "Butts"...

It's also a good thing to avoid fake sugars like Sweet and Low, Splenda, things like that. They make your body believe you're getting glucose from food (i.e. calories/energy) but since they are calorie free, you're body just signals for you to eat something else to compensate. Use real sugar if...

Hi everyone, I was curious about the 1RM testing. I know how to perform it, Im just not sure of when. My fear is that I'll perform the 1RM and I'll wind up exhausting that muscle i.e. my shoulder. As a result, I might reduce my 1RM on other exercises but for the same muscle. So what should I...

Dear Cathe, I'm a fairly strong female regarding weights, but somehow I find it ridiculously impossible to complete a military push up. I think my core might not be strong enough since my back starts to hurt after only about 4. I believe 6 might be the most that I can do. Also, my elbows...

Hey everyone, Just ordered STS, and was wondering. I previewed a lot of the videos and realized that I have everything I pretty much need in my house (which is the point og home exercise videos). But I realized that for some of the exercises like bench presses, I could probably go heavier if...

Good Luck with TOM!! I completely understand. Thats the only way I know its coming is that I start to eat the house basically. I go for high sugar fruit or carbd like rice. So its like yeah yeah it's healthy stuff, but eating 20 something of my WA points in one day is not a good thing. I only...

Thanks everyone! I kinda agree that I should accept the program for what it is. BUT when I think about the cardio factor, Im detered. The cardio doesn't cut it in P90X and to stop for 4 weeks in cardio is 4 weeks endurance lost. It only takes 2 weeks of doing stopping cardio for endurance to...

Hey, Just a quick question. Im thinking about starting P90X (as far as I know, I have already started it. Did Shoulders & Arms, and a Leg work out). So my questions are 1. I looked at the Legs and Back w/o which is done throughout the whole 90 days. Can I substitute Cathe's Leg and Glutes...

Ok at least Im not the only one who thinks he cardio is far too light. I haven't don't hte cardio yet in P90X but I've been looking at it and didn't understand why everyone is sweating so hard. For what? The moves in the cardio don't really seem intense enough to cause a sweat. I rather have...

I disagree -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I actually disagree. The amount of cardio you do is based on what you want as see as far as results from your body. IF you want to lose weight cardios kind of mixed for that. You'll definately lose...

Just wanted to know, I know we have access to the gym on Friday and the entire weekend. But I was interested in taking the Body Works class after Cathe's Advance Step/Upper Body Blast (2 hours back to back is a usual day for me). But I wanted to know if we had access to that class or not since...

I actually don't think that the commercial was making a point of anything or demoralizing American values. Its just a funny commercial. Nothing more, nothing less. Personally, I loved it:P :+

I belong to Bally's Total Fitness. We have limited hours 6am-6pm and limited classes. I did a 9:30am spinning class. There was also a Kwandoflex (kickboxing with weight intervals) too but Spinning tired me out and Im doing a hard work out 2morrow so it didn't seem right to be in pain. Point...

Thank You EVERYONE for your suggestions. They really helped me to think about it!!! Oh and as for the whole PC things, they don't put you in areas that are dangerous or under political battle. They do try to make it safe and secure, but things do happen just as crime and assault happens...

Hi Cathe, Im not sure if this is the appropriate forum to ask (it was here or the video forum) but I wanted to know if it would be possible to do a "limited equipment" workout DVD? I selfishly ask because Im thinking about doing Peace Corps (thinking about it)but my fitness regiment is still...

Hey runners, Have a little problem and thought you could help me with it. I use to run (on the treadmill) for about 60 mins, at max 7.2 miles or so. Im no where near that now. But I only ran because my thing is group ex @ the gym, Im more of a city gym enthusiast, and I didn't have a gym...

Just wondering exactly how the RT goes. It's my first time. I looked back @ the fitness video roadtrips which seemed to be kinda similiar but less classes going on. Do we just socialize, work out, eat, work out, socialize, sleep? Not sure but Im definately excited to go.
