    What is your body type - Get to know it to determine an effective workout routine

    My results say I'm between an ectomorph and mesomorph. Very interesting. I gain muscle on my legs easily but, I have a hard time gaining muscle on my arms. So, I guess it makes sense that I am in between the two.

    Bret Contreras - the glute guy

    I did the 3 month glutes only program from the book. I actually achieved a rounder rear. I was amazed at the difference. Those hip thrusts work like magic. I also started squatting deeper which made a big difference.

    Mindy Mylreas Intensity Overload With Toys

    Hi cher54, Thanks so much for recommending this Mindy DVD. I never heard of her before. It was a great excuse to add a Bosu Ball to my collection of toys. I tried a few workouts today. All I can say is ten minutes of Hiit using the Bosu Ball and discs was enough for me! I wasn't prepared...

    Who else gets tired from her workouts?

    This thread puts me at ease, especially the above post. I must have had a really good workout on Saturday, because on Sunday, I took a long nap! I was wondering if this was unusual. It seems that it's not.

    Who else gets tired from her workouts?

    The OP means that she feels tired after a workout. She doesn't mean she is bored or tired of Cathe's workouts.

    Surprised when reading dvd reviews

    Hi Clare, I just wanted to say your posts are very enjoyable to read. They are always so on the mark for me. I guess it's because I always agree with you! :D On a side note, isn't it ironic to complain about the people who are complainers?

    Loving Flex Train

    That was a hilarious version of Stayin Alive. It was so fast! Sounded like someone swallowed helium or it could have been Alvin and the Chipmunks doing their rendition of the song. :D

    Anyone try any new workouts?

    Did FlexTrain yesterday. I enjoyed it. There were a few new moves I haven't seen before which is always a good thing. The music was very upbeat. One thing I noticed though is that the lyrics of the popular tunes were changed. I understand why it was done, but it was a little strange...

    Extra Audio Settings

    Would like to see future DVDs have extra audio settings. The P90X DVDs have a silence and cues and a music and cues setting. You get a cue at the beginning of each exercise and then silence or music only for the rest of the exercise. This came in handy when you didn't want to hear Tony...

    Portable meal and snack ideas?

    I just looked up the Jamie Eason recipe for Lemon Protein Bars. One of the ingredients is 2 qts of Crystal Light :( They may be good, but that doesn't sound very appetizing.

    Cardio Leg blast

    I love this workout too. The perfect combination of cardio and strength. Though, I just have to say, I have never heard anyone utter the phrase "Ignore the beat." so many times. I wouldn't be able to keep good form if I didn't do this. I guess Cathe is looking out for the well being of the...

    Thanks for your response! I'm glad someone stopped in to help us. Your descriptions of the differences between the two are very helpful. Thanks again! :)

    Xtrain Bi's & Tri's + 100RC Tricep Extensions

    I checked the DVD again and Cathe does use 20lb. DBs for the first set and then 15lb. DBs for the next two sets of standing DB curls in burn sets. I like to use Cathe's weights as my goals too, so those weights are definitely within my reach. Al is using 25lb. DBs and he looks like he's...

    Xtrain Bi's & Tri's + 100RC Tricep Extensions

    The first exercise in burn sets bis and tris is standing DB curls. I noticed on the first set Cathe uses 20lbs. She then says she is going down in weight after the first set. The second and third sets she uses 15lbs. But, at the bottom of the screen it says Cathe's weight is 20lbs. for the...

    Pink boxing gloves....peeeeeew

    Yes, mine really stink! I had them hanging outside for three days to air out. It didn't help. My eyes were actually tearing up when I was wearing them. But, I just love working out in them! Many of the reviews on Amazon said they smelled, so I was prepared for it. I'm surprised that some...

    Cathe 2013 Calendar is now Shipping

    I received my calendar Saturday. I live in PA. Very nice photos with various Cathe quips on some of them. "Legs are like Jello" is printed on one of the photos. There are smaller pictures at the bottom of each month as well. At the beginning of the calendar there is a list of Cathe's...
