    Will this rotation work?

    I could do either....maybe do all of segment 3 of bodymax on saturday or sunday.....or I could do the strength part of ctx throughout the week. Gin Miller's tape does work upper body, but it doesn't seem near as intense as Cathe's work in the ctx series. Other than the upper body, does the...

    Will this rotation work?

    Hi everyone! I just finished my first rotation...the ctx series. Since that was my very first rotation, I wondered if you all could tell me if this next rotation is okay (enough cardio, strength training, etc) I have been "cut off" by my dh from ordering any more tapes for awhile, so here is...

    How long is too long?

    Hi Cathe! I have been doing CTX series since the beginning of September. Prior to that time period, my exercise attempts were sporadic at best. I have seen a lot of questions on here about rotations. My question is this: How long can or should I do the CTX series? I am using a 6" step and...

    Increased appetite

    Hi Cathe and "educated crowd" Since I have started working out 6 days a week with Cathe's tapes.....I have noticed that I am hungrier! Does anyone else experience this, or is it just my imagination? If it is not my imagination, does this increase in appetite eventually go away? I have kept...

    Plank Envy

    Cathe and the educated crowd... Doing the plank exercises in the CTX series kills me! In the tape, you say that if we start to tremble or lose our form, to stop. What happens if you START out trembling?? One of my friends suggested that I do the plank exercises a couple times a day, every...

    CTX Question

    Hi Cathe! I asked this a couple a days ago, but I think it got buried! My question concerns dumbells and barbells. I do not have a barbell. Per your advice, I am using 3, 5, and 8 lb. dumbells since I have not used weights in the past. When you are using your barbell, what do I do at home...

    What kind/type of weights do I need for the six pack?

    Hi Cathe! I wanted to be ready to go when the new tapes arrived....could you tell me what weights I will need? Although I have done some of your step tapes (mega step blast and wedding tape) I have not worked out with weights. I noticed in one post you mentioned a barbell was used in the six...

    Body for life question

    Hi everyone! I know that the body for life program has been discussed before. I wanted to see what everyone thought about it, before I purchased the book/tape. Is there a way to find the archived discussions on body for life? If not, can anyone tell me whether they recommend the program and...

    In need of advice from all of you!

    Thanks Thanks for all of the advice! I cannot believe that some of you get up at 4:30 a.m to exercise, or exercise at 10 pm in the evening!! You all are amazing. And I guess if you all are getting up that early, or staying up that late, I can certainly find some time to work it into my...

    Question about the six pack

    Hi Cathe! I just ordered the six pack. I have been jogging/walking for 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week (for about a month). Thats about it as far as my physical fitness regime goes. The six pack appealed to me because of the different routine every day, as well as being able to break it up...

    Too much, too soon??

    I have recently started a weight loss program (Weight Watchers)and have about 30 lbs to lose. In complete disregard of common sense, I ordered BodyMax, thinking I could just jump right in. Not surprisingly, I find the tape too long and too intense for my fitness level at this time. I have...
