Hey all - I just posted this on the Cathe forum, but thought I'd ask here as well since there are many of you that also run and do Cathe. I'd like to increase my running endurance, and am planning to run 3-4 days/wk. I want to come up with a rotation that includes running and Cathe's new...

Cathe, I am interested in a rotation that would enable me to increase my running endurance (running 3-4 days/wk) that includes your tapes. I've just gotten the new intensity series, so including those would be great, and I can always substitute from your other series to mix things up in the...

Cathe or SNM - I've noticed that I really like the pace of IMAX (however, it still challenges me on MANY other levels), and find Body Max a bit too fast for me. I was wondering about your other step videos, like Rhythmic Step and CTX - are they more at the speed of IMAX or Body Max...

I have been doing IMAX lately, and feel that the pace is a good one for me. One day I tried Body Max, and it felt so fast. I am interested in trying some of her other tapes, like CTX or Rhythmic Step, but am afraid that if they are paced more like Body Max, I won't like them. I'd appreciate...

I've been noticing the recent posts on good books that have strength training exercises along with pictures showing the muscles that they work. Was wondering, for those of you with the ACE Personal Trainer book, is that type of information included in that book, or are you kind of expected to...

Mindi, I have just started Body RX, been doing it for about 6 days. I'm finding that Cycle 1 is a fairly seamless transition for me, eating wise. I know that you have a lot of experience with the Body RX board, which I browsed but did not see an answer to my question. I was wondering, is it...

I work out consistently 6 days a week - 3 strength training, 3 cardio. My eating doesn't vary a whole lot. But I feel like I am going nowhere, as far as progress goes. I'm not lifting heavier (although I feel as if I get a good workout everytime), my weight is the same, my clothes fit the...

Today I called up the local YMCA like I said I planned to do in that other thread about pursuing fitness related employment. The fitness director there suggested that I start by becoming a 'personal fitness coach', which is working in the weight room with clients, helping them get started on...

I gather this DVD is less intense than Cathe's workouts, right? I just wondered if it had a lot of options for combining workouts and making them longer? I notice the description says 30 minute workouts, which is great for some days, but wondered if it had ways to combine different sections to...

Today I went all that way through BodyMax at one time! Wow! What an endurance workout! I had to modify like crazy to get through it all, but I'm so happy that I made it through. Just for fun I wore my new toy, a heartrate monitor, through the workout. Even with the modifications my...

Did anyone see the recent episode where Dr. Phil talks to young girls about body issues? I meant to record it and forgot to, and am kicking myself over it! I have a 7 YEAR OLD daughter who thinks she is too fat, and it really bothers me that she is so young and is already worried about that...

I have been doing the Pure Strength series for a few weeks now, and am looking for a change (I love the series, just like to have variety). I have been scoping out the new DVDs, and notice the shipping deal for buying other DVDs, so I've been eyeing S&H. I'd love to hear others opinions and...

After the recent references to this bread I wanted to find it and check it out...it took a while but I did locate it in the Natural/frozen foods section of my grocery store. Is that where most of you find it? Do you have a favorite 'flavor'? I did have to pop a slice in the toaster...

This idea occurred to me while reading one of Rose's posts on the discussion forum - how about Cathe's famous line: "Don't be afraid of heavy weights...they do nice things for you". I like the idea of quoting Cathe on the shirt. I know there were a lot of other good ideas...just thought I'd...

Maribeth - I have been looking forward to your post on the downsides of high protein diets. I have been trying to do a quasi Body Rx plan, which to me sounds pretty balanced. It is: increasing protein to about 1g/pound of body weight, keep fiber at or above 30g daily. Eat plenty of...

Did any of you catch the latest Shape magazine where someone said that they worked upper body 1/wk, lower body 1/wk, and the response was that if you worked each body part just 1/wk you were basically starting over every time. I am just starting to use the PS series, so of course this was not...
