I've been very sporadic with my workouts lately, and just recently returned to Cathe's CTX series (that one ALWAYS gets me back on track) this week. The problem is, I'm always famished. I eat a yogurt with dates and nuts in the morning (just an example of the very few foods that sit well with...

I'd like to know if anyone who has Interval Max (the original) for several years and has done it many, many times still cannot get through it without modifications? I can do IMAX2 with no problems (on a 4 inch step) or breaks, but IMAX slays me! I find it incredibly tough, and even though I've...

I think I've asked this before, but how many of you do primarily heavy weight workout rotations, or do you split them up, i.e. heavy weight for a certain amount of time (2-6 weeks, etc.), then do a muscular endurance rotation, i.e. Power Hour, BodyMax, (now Muscle Endurance, BootCamp), etc...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-09-03 AT 04:44PM (Est)[p]My family just had the stomach (yuck!) flu fly through our house, leaving not one of us untouched. It's taken me quite awhile just to get to the point where I think I can take on a lighter tape (I became ill last Saturday and still felt ill yesterday...

I've been taking exercise breaks (haven't worked out for several days, and took a 6 day hiatus before that) and I'm wondering if it's just the holidays, or...? I have a strange feeling everyone else is experiencing the opposite problem, but I'm a slug right now and I'm finding it hard to work...

I just have to get this out. I have been doing just half of MIC tacked onto a separate strength section in this particular rotation I'm on now, and these MIC sections (hi\lo and step) are just so incredibly intense and tough! I know that there are probably many, many threads out there with...

I've been working out with Cathe since the beginning of the year, and have been so amazed at the strength and cardio gains I've been able to make because of her tapes. But I have had this stubborn layer of fat that hasn't really budged, even though I've drastically decreased sugar, white flour...

I have every one of Cathe's tapes (and have pre-ordered the Intensity series) except for the Slow and Heavy series. I'm just a little reluctant to order this set only because of the concentration needed (which I don't know if I have) and I'm thinking that I may do better with endurance type...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-23-02 AT 11:37PM (Est)[p]I know that Cathe is busy, so I'll direct this to the educated crowd. :) I have a concern/question that I've been wondering about and haven't seen addressed yet (but I could have missed it). I've been doing CTX for the last 2 weeks as is, and was...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-06-02 AT 02:40AM (Est)[p]I was just wondering who else here doesn't use any of the websites that add up total calories, fat, carbs, etc.? I have tried numerous times in the past to use these programs, but it only lasted about a week. I certainly wish I had the discipline to...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-29-02 AT 02:20AM (Est)[p]I just dread the rest day. I realize that a good, rounded exercise regime includes: strength training, aerobics, stretching and rest, but I find that I just don't like to have to take that rest day. I know (and have talked to others about this same...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-16-02 AT 02:19AM (Est)[p]I was curious as to how many of us do floorwork on a weekly basis. I know that the Firm has quite a bit of floorwork in their vids, and have a couple of tapes dedicated to floorwork only. I've found that doing floorwork 2-3x weekly allows me to work...

Hi all, I need some input in regard to how long I should stay with a rotation. I have a tendency to only be able to stick with a rotation for at most, 2-3 weeks. I know that S&H should only be done for 3 weeks, but PS should be done a minimum of 4 weeks and up to 12 weeks, is that right? I...
