I split it into 2 workouts....lower one day, upper the next and it had me screaming this morning!! Love this tape, love Cathe's workouts!! Shara

Calves Joyce, just thought I'd jump in here as I'm a runner and will give my .02. Running will definitely strengthen your calves but, as far as I know, it won't add bulk. You need to do calf raises with weight to add bulk. Sorry this isn't what you wanted to hear. I know Cathe will correct...

I know that's a scary feeling when you're working out diligently and you keep getting bigger!! My body type is prone to the same thing. I would suggest that you throw in some light weight/high rep training as lifting all heavy may be part of the problem. You need to get in some cardio, too...

Smiley, just did PH for the first time yesterday and I couldn't believe that almost every muscle group was pushed to complete failure!! Wow!! It is tough and it's fun. This will be a definite favorite for me, Shara :)

Hi there! I'm at [email protected] and would appreciate the rotations!! Thanks so much, Shara

Just to add in my opinion on the 20 mins. of cardio......before I start the 20 mins. of intervals, I warm up for a mile (running easy). Then I get into the various levels of exertion, from 5 being easy to the high-point 10 which is brutally hard!! Afterwards, I take it down really slowly to...

hi Aimee!! I have been running for several years now but just recently did an endurance program that really helped me to run longer and faster. No doubt, the weight training helps with the interval work. Sounds like you had a great time getting your PT cert. Did you find it diffucult...

Anne, I do S&H once/week because it is so intense. If you wanted to do it twice, you could do each tape once, Mon/Tues/Weds then repeat on Thurs/Fri/Sat. Personally, I find that my muscles are worked so thoroughly, I don't feel like I need to do the tapes more than once/week. This is also...

Jodi, I would suggest that you run on the days you have done weight work. I run 6 days/week and also do weights 3 of those days. Doing cardio twice on the same day may be too much. The body can only handle so much before it breaks down. I also find that drinking protein drinks helps my body...

Sorry to jump in here but I use the BFL plan to determine my workouts ever since I competed last year. I love the program because it teaches you to train hard and have a life too! I am competing again and using Cathe's videos for the weight-training. BFL pushed me out of my comfort zone...

Aimee......... Wow Aimee!! :) That is some workout schedule!! I wish you the best of luck in your competition!! The workouts you plan for November sound a little less demanding although Cathe's tapes are pretty tough, just the same!! Right now, I weight train 3 times/week and run 6...

Thanks, boxermk, for the suggestion! I will look into Interval Max right away. Sometimes, I want to do cardio but need a break from running. :)

I am new to Cathe tapes and love them!! I know I'm getting a great workout everytime. I now own the PS series, the S and H series, Max Int Strength, and just got the Power Hour today. I am a runner so don't know if I need to incorporate any of her step vids. What other strength ones do you...

Aimee, what competition are you training for? What sort of workout schedule do you follow? Right now, I run 6 days/week first thing in the morning (about 25 miles/week) and weight train Mon/Weds/Fri. I am thinking about becoming a certified personal trainer. Take care, Best of luck!! Shara

Thanks, Aimee, for your input!! I agree that keeping the bodyfat low will help with definition. In the past, I haven't paid enough attention to nutrition so ended up larger and blamed it on weight-training. I know, now, that it was the junk I was consuming!! I'll keep on mixing it up with...

Hi Cathe, I am new to your videos but already am a serious fan!! In your PS Legs and Abs video, you mention that if you are one of those people who feels they get bulky from weights, to go lighter or use no weights. I fit this category of developing muscle quickly but try to balance it with...

I have suffered from tennis elbow twice and found it very difficult to cut back on weights but you must. Otherwise, it will never heal. I did get cortisone injections in my elbow which, with rest, made it heal very quickly. Ask your doctor and give it a rest. Perhaps you could cross-train...

Brand new here from Canada! Just received my order of Cathe tapes (PS series, new Slow and Heavy, and MIS). I have heard that Cathe's tapes are tough and that's what I'm looking forward to!! If anyone can help me out with routines, I'd appreciate it. I run 6 days/week and weight train 3...
