I really hope you see this thank you because you gave me some advice on Oct 22 that has really helped me tremendously! My original post was on Oct.22 and titled: "SOS: question 4 the nutrition knowledgable", and I had asked whether or not it made a difference if I stuck strictly to 1500...

Hi, can someone explain to me the difference between what is "good sore" and what could be "bad sore" as far as both aerobics and weight training. For instance: if i do MIS with a 35#bb today, then on my next weight training day, increase the #'s to 40# because the 35# wasn't challenging my...

Hi, I weight train 3 days/wk, but I'm looking for a video for toning the butt/thighs (emphasis on inner thighs!) that DOES NOT utilize weights for my off days. I am livid with myself for wasting the money for "Crunch: Killer Legs", my grade school ballet class had a harder leg workout for pete's...

I keep a daily food diary, tracking calories, fatg, fiberg and water (only way to ensure I drink enough!), and I have a target of 1500 calories/day, 25%fat, & my fiber still needs work but I'm improving!(smile) My question is: 1500 calories/day = 10,500 calories/week, so, would i come out the...

Hi, it's me again with more questions... I've been reading about the benefits of using Glucosamine to help support and maintain healthy joints, but I do not know anyone personally who has tried it to tell me thumbs up or down. I'm 37, and my knees took some major wear and tear over the past 8...

I too have been recently reading more and more of the positive effects fiber has on the body, especially the benefits when trying to shed pounds, which I am, but I am having the darndest time getting in 30g/day. I read labels, keep a daily food diary to track calories/fatg/and now fiber intake...

Does anyone use Circuit Max regularly in their rotations? And if so, would you please tell me how you work it in. For instance, do you use it as a main weight training workout in your rotation, or do you use it as more of a "cardio w/umph!" I've searched the archives for past questions, etc...

Hi, I was sent the Cathe forum rotations and everything downloaded successfully except for vol.2, for whatever reason, I got an error message when I attempted to open it repeatedly. Can anyone out there please send me vol.2? I didn't want to add my name all over again to one of the lists as I am...

Hello, can anyone explain to me the differences between Circuit Max and Body Max. I want to purchase a video that combines aerobics+light weight strength training and when reading both the info on Bodymax and Circuit Max, they both seemed a little similar so I'm wondering if anyone has both or...

Hi, I call myself lunge impaired, but I'm thinking that as I continue to lose weight, lunges will be easier for me to master correctly. Since Cathe always tells you the correct form is keeping your knee at a 90 degree angle, and never letting it go over your foot, which mine does only every time...

Hi, question for the experienced S&H users: I am about to purchase the S&H series but I have 1 nagging question: "If 2 total body weight workouts per week is what is optimal to get fit/stay fit, then why have I only seen rotations that utilize S&H once per week?" I realize they are 3 tapes...

Hi, my original post of today 10/05/01 was DILEMMA... and I asked the question: "if I weight train (M.I.S.) 3 days/week (mon, wed, fri), then on my cardio only days, tue & thur, is it okay to do a cardio/weights mix, such as a Firm type video on those cardio days as long as I keep the weights...

Hi, I posted on the Ask Cathe board and got 2 really good answers to my question, now I need to know which to do? My original question was: I weight train mon, wed, fri and I do cardio only on tue, thur. Can I do a cardio like The Firm crosstrainer (cardio & light weights) on my cardio days or...

intermediate stepper back with another question: I currently am on a rotation of M.I.S. 3 days/week (mon,wed,fri), and I'm wondering if I can also do an interval(cardio w/light weights (5-8lbs)) on my cardio days (tue,thur) or is that too much weight? I mean...

Hi, I'm looking for some REAL honest feedback here (smile) I am an intermediate level stepper, but I love a challenging workout, you know, the kind you can't take halfway through so you have to stop stepping for a second/minute or 2 and walk around the step a few laps then pick back up?! Well...
