I am almost 2 weeks late, and no sign of AF... no cramping, no bleeding or spotting, nothing. (well, except for slightly swollen breasts.) I took 2 pregnancy tests yesterday, and they were both negative. (I used the cheap store brand, because I am extremely broke right now.) I've been on...

I found this news article online... I thought it was a little interesting. But what do they mean by heavy exercise? Is it the intensity of the workouts they're talking about, or the amount? 30 min, 3 times a week is moderate, or so I thought... Does heavy exercise hurt pregnant women? By...

What kind of $$$ do personal trainers make? I have made the decision to go back to college and get my degree in music education, but I have 2 kids and a huge amount of debt, so I must keep working to make ends meet. DH is in pharmacology school, so he works very little. I was thinking about...

I am wanting to get some good muscle definition (so my arms look toned even when they're at my sides, instead of having to flex :7 ) , and I want to give myself a kick-start. I plan on using CTX along with Cardio Kicks, IntervalMax, and CircuitMax for my cardio. My question is- which would be...

I was doing 10-10-10 today, and I got to the part with the arm cirles during the plyo jumps, and my fingers felt like they were going to explode!! They were turning purple at the fingertips and burning and felt like they were stuck full of pins (kinda like having a rubber band wrapped to...

What am I doing wrong? Whenever I do lunges (static or the ones with your rear foot elevated) absolutely kill my feet! It hurts really bad right where my foot bends. I've tried different shoes and going barefoot, but it hurts so bad I have to avoid those movements. I couldn't make it all the...

I noticed that there seems to be a lot of Amy's on here... I know that name was in the top 10 popular names during the 70's. I was born in '78 and my name is Amy... Just out of curiosity, who else is named Amy and what are your ages? Amy! :-)

DH got me CTX for Christmas!! (I was upset because none of the gifts under the tree were the size of a 6-tape set... and when I opened the smallest package I discovered it was the set on DVF! He did that to trick me!!) I am so excited! I was wanting to do a CTX rotation for the next month...

I did Power Hour yesterday, and today my whole body aches (yay!) But this morning I tried to pull on a pair of jeans I wore 2 days ago, and they are skin tight! They were comfortable on Wednesday (not too tight, not too loose. Just right). But today I can barely squeeze into them- especially...

I was doing Power Hour this morning, and every muscle in my body aches except for my chest. There I feel no difference. What am I doing wrong? I was noticing this morning (using a 20 lb barbell) that I feel bench presses mostly in my arms. I try to put my hands slightly more than shoulder...

Okay, today I had a DEXA scan done to determine my body fate percentage (part of a nutritional research study, so it was free.) So after several months of exercise using heavy weights, I have lost 40 lbs, and my body fat now measures... ...27.4%. $%#@&*! I have worked so hard and this is not...

No, I'm not pregnant, but am planning on it in about a year or so. I'm just curious... is it possible to maintain muscle tone (on the limbs) during pregnancy? Not to be offensive, but the vast majority of pregnant women I see have thick, flabby shapless arms and a very wide rear. I know I did...

Hey all! I've had my Cathe tapes for a couple months, but haven't really done a lot with them. So this week I decided I am going to rotate MIS (Mon & Fri) and Cardio Kicks (Tues & Thurs), and IntervalMax (Sat). I am trying to lose those last 15 pounds (used to be last 10, but I've slacked off...

How effective would the videos be without the step? I tried to do IntervalMax today and was tripping all over the place... I just can't quite do it! So I moved the step out of the way and was able to complete it without the step. Will the workout be a lot less effective without the step? I...
