I'm training for a half marathon and need a rotation! I will be running 4x/week. I've got all the videos and am thinking of the GS series, the PLB/PUB/ME series. I'm not sure what to do for crosstraining....either elliptical or a low impact Cathe video I guess. Or how would just plain walking...

I'm looking for the max fat loss in the next 10 weeks. I understand that doing twice daily workouts for a long period of time is not a good idea but I was wondering if it would work for the short term. I'm considering weights 3x/week (GS, PS etc) plus cardio on those days as well. In addition on...

After reading Eat to Live and Skinny Bitch, I'm seriously contemplating the vegetarian if not vegan, way of life. My kids are already vegetarian/vegan (one of each) for their own personal reasons. Obviously I'm not opposed to it for health reasons. But I've always been of the opinion that for a...

Does anyone have personal faves of Cathe vids that most helped with a weight loss goal? In particular, maybe the IS series, BB series, Hardcore/Gym Style, or hte latest ones, LIC, BM2 etc? Assuming your diet is all in control as well obvoiusly. Also, did you have more success sticking with a...

I need some advice...I have a 12 yr old daughter who has always has had crappy eating habits but basically a typical kid. All of a sudden, she's stopped eating all junk food and meat. Bascially by my calculations she's eating between 300-500 calories a day. In the form of fruit and a low carb...

Just got engaged and have only 5, yes 5!!!!, weeks to get some fat off and tone things up!!!! I have all the Cathe's, P90x, FIRMS, Slim Series and Slim in Six and a membership to a gym. I'll take and do anything although I have a recovering ACL injury so might have to modify a bit too. Also, I'm...

Ok, diet being obviously a HUGE factor, what would be my best bet for MAXIMUM weight loss in 5 wks as far as exercise?I'm thinking lots and lots of cardio and something like Slim in 6/Slim Series. I'm not necessarily looking for the healthiest route here since I know its only temporary...

I need to get serious! I've got fat to lose and summer and a cruise in Nov to get ready for! I'm coming off an acl injury so need to take it relatively easy, possibly modify some stuff to low impact. I was thinking of starting wtih a month of circuits, then a month of cardio and full body...

My bf and I are starting P90X April 1. I'm wondering about the diet part of it. I was wondering how integral it was to the program. Could I maybe eat the BFL way instead? Or even WW? Also, I've heard some have done a different yoga (shorter). How does this affect the results?

I desperately need gift ideas!

Can someone explian to me the reasoning behind Cathe's 12 week rotation she wrote some time ago for someone to lose 20-30 lbs? It was the one that started wtih 3 wks of SH plus cardio, 3 weeks of PS and cardio, 3 wks of SH and cardio, and then 1 week each of CTX, circuits, and SS/PP plus cardio...

For a 12 week period to lose max body fat, which do you think is best? 1) circuits plus pure cardio 2) full body weights (ME, PH etc) plus 6x/week of cardio 3) PLB/PUB weights plus 6x/week of cardio 4) 3 day splits (GS, SH, PS) plus 6x/week of cardio OR Wk 1-3 circuits plus...

Does anyone have any experience with this? I've had stomach/intestinal issues for as long as I can remember. I've been diagnosed with IBS (don't think that's what it is) tested for celiac (negative), and finally stumbled on candida while doing a web search. Not all of hte symptoms but most are...

I noticed on the website that he addresses the issue of can you burn fat and gain muscle at the same time (no apparently). So he says to choose one goal at a time. How does he suggest you lose the fat? Lots of cardio and no weights?

I know on occasion you do personal rotations for people with special requests. I'm hoping you will help me out too. I've signed up for a 12 week challenge at my gym. The winner wins a cruise for 2. I'd like to use the gym for runnign on my lunch break (I play indoor soccer and really need to get...

Due to my work schedule I have foundt aht working out at lunch is about my only option these days. So that rules out videos for a while. I have 30ish pounds to lose, preferably by this summer so not alot of room for error. I have the option of taking Les Mills classes (it would be 2x Bodypump...

So I posed this question to a wellknown fitness professional (who shall remain anonymous): Should you approach your workouts differently depending on your goals i.e. to look like Cathe vs to look like Jennifer Aniston (cut vs toned)? Basically the age old heavy weights, light weights, lots of...
