We got a new 32 inch flat screen Toshiba tv where I work out and even though I have HDMI cables connecting the tv to my dvd player, the edges of Cathe and her crew are ridged (or a bit fuzzy). It's a little distracting. I've tested other dvds (like movies) and they look fine, as does STS, but...

If anyone's looking for a room to share for 3 nights, I have room. I'm staying 4 nights, but if you wanted to stay Thursday through Saturday or Friday through Sunday, I could pay the full price for the other night. I realize that most of you probably aren't staying all 4 nights. I have...

Looking for a roommate -- 3 nights Please delete post -- thanks!

Hi Cathe -- I don't have an indoor bike, but was just wondering if Cycle Max could easily be modified for other cardio equipment - - like if I used my treadmill, I could raise the incline for hills when you do hills on the bike or slow down/speed up as you do on the bike. I'm just trying to...

I previewed the first dvd and think I'm going to use the Music-Off option mainly because a lot of the moves are not on beat with the music (as I'd hoped like in Power Hour -- love how that's choreographed just perfectly with the music). Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone else has using...

Hi Cathe -- I have a few questions about the idea behind the 41 workouts. What made you decide to make the separate workouts for every day as opposed to just making 3 workouts that you do for 4 weeks straight? Were you trying to give us more variety or was there some training aspect involved...

I mentioned on an STS thread that I've been doing an STS-like periodization rotation (am on the 13th week now) and a few people asked for more details. I'm posting my response here too in case anyone's interested. It's been a lot of fun and has been a great mental and physical preparation as...

Hi Cathe -- I have problems at times with Carpal Tunnel (mostly when I'm on the computer a lot, like now ;) ). I've been wondering if the wrist curls are good for strengthening the wrist to combat Carpal Tunnel or if they would add stress and make it worse. I haven't found it to make it...

Hi Cathe -- I just read the update on your blog and it sounds like you're working hard on getting these STS workouts just right and out to us as soon as you can. Thanks so much! It seems like you have a tone of "sorry these aren't out any sooner, but this is why . . ." and I just wanted to...

Hi -- I did a Search for "Rep Speed" and found the answer below that seems to deal more with beat count than speed (but I'm copying and pasting in case anyone else hasn't seen it and is curious). What I'm wondering is if the rep speed in the Mesocycle 1 workouts will be as fast as in Muscle...

I'm just about over the fence on pre-ordering here, but I have one final concern -- I had pelvic floor surgery a few years ago and am not supposed to lift over 40 pounds while standing. If I'm sitting or lying down for upper body work, I can lift over that because it doesn't put any weight on...

I saw that you have some new cast members joining you and I realize Rhonda lives far away, but is there any chance she could join you for a few of the STS workouts? I'd love to see her in the workouts again.

Hi Cathe -- You were mentioning the possibility of a Road Trip last summer once your new studio was finished. And once your studio was complete, you dove into the Hardcore Series, so I figured you didn't have time for a road trip then. Are you thinking of having one this spring at all? Or in...

Hi Cathe -- I was just previewing Kick Max and was wondering what is the maximum # of kickboxing workouts you'd recommend for a week. I've rotated them every other day with all weights workouts before. Do you think if I added in a short pre-mix of 30 min. of kickboxing before my weights, it...

I've been hit and miss with the Eat to Live program (Book with the same title by Dr. Joel Fuhrman), but keep coming back to it. I feel great when I'm doing it, lose weight with ease when otherwise it comes off ever so stubbornly, but I can't seem to stick with it. Someone with ETL experience...

I don't know why I was thinking about this while doing KPC this morning, but I was wondering if you've ever gained weight over the holidays with all the sugar and celebratory eating going on. (And pregnancies don't count! ;-) ) It seems to be such a hurdle for so many of us to keep our eating...

Hi Cathe -- I've been hearing so much about Functional Fitness these past few weeks with the new Tracie Long Production videos being released and was wondering if you are teaching this at your studio. From my Google searches, I've learned that it is basically multi-dimensional exercise that...

I would be on Cathe's Forum much more if the colors didn't hurt my eyes. I don't know if it's just my computer but each Forum post is dark blue type on a deep red background. Does anyone know how I can change this? (Or are you seeing it the same way?) My 7 year old son showed me that I can...

Hi Cathe -- I just have to tell you that I did Super Sets yesterday and just LOVED it! Yes, it was tough, but it was so much fun too! I was smiling and loving the variety and intensity! And the whole house heard me yelling out (in a happy voice, of course :) ) during those leg thrusts -- wow...

Hi Cathe -- I don't know if you take Rotation requests, but it looks like we may be getting our DVDs by December and I am hoping you might give us a rotation to go with it -- pretty please??? (All I want for Christmas is . . . :-)). Thanks for all you do! -- Renee
