I'm having a tummy tuck after losing 111 lbs. I have excess skin due to the weight loss, and the doctor believes that he'll remove approx. 6-8 lbs. of skin from my stomach. As contradictory as it may seem, many doctors don't seem to know a lot about exercise. Have any of you had a tummy...

I have a knee injury and will be having surgery next month. As a result I've been concentrating on upper body and really seeing nice results. I would like to do an endurance workout once per week, in addition to the two strength workouts I'm currently doing. I combined the upper body...

I haven't used my B&TR in ages, but want to again, after injuring my knee. Stepping, and bending are out of the question. For those of you who bought this - does anyone still have the rotation? I'm most interested in doing LL with this, in addition to her rotation. Thank you!:)

Ok, did ya miss me? Not even realize I was gone? School is over, and I need to kick my butt into high gear. I have gained a few pounds and am really out of shape. Would someone make me an intro back into Cathe rotation? Annette, keep any and all plyos out of anything you type to mex(...

Hey Jill, (waving to you there in the frozen north) I just got back from vacation the other day and opened my DVD's, and what did I hear on the first one I played??? Prince!! I thought "I wish I could have been with Jill when she first heard that!". Did you bribe Cathe, or does she just...

Hi Cathe, How's the progress coming along on the new gym? I know a few of us hope to visit after it's ready. Thanks! Dawn

Hi everyone, I finally got a B&TR today for $30!! I need to get the info on how to do LL using it. Any and all help is much appreciated, but you must remember I'm quite a moron with new stuff! Or, can someone direct me to one of the old links? I'm so excited to use it!! Thanks, Dawn:-)

Hi everyone, A friend of mine has expressed an interest in borowing one of my Cathe videos. She has new Firms only, none of the old ones. I thought she might like C&W first, which others do you think I should lend her? I did warn her that she's going to hate me in about a month, when her...

Hi Donna, I'm doing your "famous" rotation from video fitness and the ya-ya's. I just wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying it. Today I did Step and Intervals followed by PLB. Before I did it I thought "Donna's got a death wish", but it was pretty do-able, much to my surprise...

We are going to Mackinac Island for a week and I can take 2 sets of weights and 1 video. Which one do you guys think is best? I was planning to take 10# and 15#, or maybe the 8#. I can't do any cardio, but can lift. I also won't take that week off, it is really necessary for stress relief. Dawn

Alright, I can't stand lower body. I find every excuse to skip it, you know like "my toe nails are wet and my shoes will ruin my polish." I just dread it. I need a bun and thigh rocker. Where do I find one? I'm a little leery of ebay. I thought I might try the ya-ya swap. Any other...

Hi ladies, I have been on a CTX kick for awhile, but I got a little bored so I did Pyramid upper the other day. I was loving it, thinking "this is so easy" . When Cathe starts out with 3 lb dumbbells for shoulders I was feeling like Wonder Woman and thinking "I'll just start with fives." Yeah...

Yesterday I was doing LL and my balance always stinks on those darn satanic}( lunges. I had a 35# bar on my shoulders, and was wobbling around so much I couldn't get through them. I picked up 15# dumbbells and it was much easier, I probably could have used 20#. What is the difference here...

Today I actually got my tired butt out of bed at 5:30 am to do All-Step! Yes, Hell may have frozen over this morning! The kids activities are just getting too overwhelming, so this seemed like a good plan. I also have to go to court for my best friend who gets to finalize her daughters...

Hi everyone, Yesterday I finally matched Cathe on bicpes in CTX. I can match or go higher in every other area. Biceps have always been my weakest area, and I felt like such a sissy girl. I think I started with the bar at 15 lbs. I bought those little 1 1/4 lb weights plates and have been...

Hey everyone, What is everyone using for their nails? I guess OPI Nail Envy doesn't work for me. My nails are cracking right off and peeling. I just cannot get them to grow. This is a new thing too, they used to always grow. Is there soemthing else that you recommend? My toenails are...

I am currently doing a PS rotation that our genius Jillybean made for me. I have seen wonderful progress. Next I am going onto the pyramids. Are the pyramids considered endurance? What happens to our muscles in regard to strength and mass when we change to an endurance oriented routine...

Hi Lori, How did your interview go? I've been thinking about you. Dawn

Hi Donna and Kimba, Did you guys look at this video yet? Mine came Saturday. I suppose I understand why Cathe doesn't sell it anymore, since it's pretty different from the newer stuff, and it's pretty dated. Those lace tights are sure a blast from the past! Cathe is perfect as usual. She is...

Hi everyone. What do you all think is a safe weight to lift over your head? I realize there will be differences in each persons strength. For women though, how heavy can an average woman go before she gets a weight vest? Dawn
