Hi, I need some advice from all the runners out there! I just ran my first half marathon in Chicago last weekend and it was amazing. I even beat my goal! Unfortunately, when I got home that night, I rolled my ankle and ended up with a sprain! I was immediately upset, as I am hoping to...

I need some help from any of you marathoners out there! I am currently in training for the Chicago HALF marathon (my first half), with aspirations to run a FULL marathon in January (also my first full). I have a few questions.... First, is it possible to still lose body fat while training...

Hi, I just started training for a half marathon. I would also like to lose about 10-12#. For those of you who have run a half marathon, were you able to continue losing weight or did your weight loss stall? I have heard stories about many women training and being unable to lose weight...

I have been reading up on Turbo Jam and it sounds interesting. Where do you all buy these workouts? Thanks!

Okay, the post below about the newest Firm series has me thinking. Have any of you tried them? What are you opinions on these workouts? How do they compare to the other Firm series? Also, could they be done in an apartment without too much noise? Thanks! Thea

Has anyone tried these workouts? I think they look fun! I am newly getting back into fitness...how intense are they? I must admit, I am not very coordinated or graceful, will I be able to do them? Just looking for opinions on these workouts! Thanks!:-)

I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice.....How much cardio is enough for weight loss? Obviously, that is my primary fitness goal, but I'd also like some muscle tone. Not too interested in gaining muscle mass right now but if it happened it would be fine. I have about 10-15# I would like...

Hi, I will likely be moving in May, and am thinking of selling my treadmill. Has anyone sold theirs? Did you post an ad? How did you determine a fair asking price/determine its worth? Just starting to think about this....any help would be appreciated! Thea

Hi, Does anyone have good suggestions for sunglasses to wear when working out outdoors, ie running, walking, biking? I am guessing fit is important so they don't bobble around? Any ideas where to get them and estimates of price? TIA!!

Hi, Question for everyone who runs/jogs. What kind of shorts do you wear? I am having trouble finding good ones. My problem is they tend to ride up as my thighs rub together. Now, I realize part of this may be my thighs are too big, but are there any shorts out there that don't ride up as...

Hi Catheites, Is it okay to jump right in and use series such as GS, PS and the pyramids (with lighter weights) if you haven't been doing any weight training for a while (say, about a year!)? Or, is it better to start with full body workouts? Thanks for any input! Thea

Hi Everyone, I know Cathe has been busy, so I thought I would post here! I am hoping someone can help me. I am curious about how to incorporate circuit workouts such as Boot Camp, HSC, etc into my workout routine? Can you do 2-3 of these workouts per week for weight workouts? I consider...

Anyone go to this site often? I haven't been able to log in last night or today. I have tried at home and here at work (;-) ) but no luck. Looks like other people have been posting though...anyone else having trouble? -Thea

Good morning BBs, Still was lazy and slept in today. I am pretty sure I am not catching anything, just needed some extra sleep. I don't know what it is about slacking off from exercise, but I actually eat more and make very poor food choices. Feeling kind of bummed about that this week...

What are your opinions on circuit workouts--if one is trying to lose weight/fat and tone up, do they contain enough cardio for these goals? I am thinking of doing C&W, SJ&P, Circuit Max each one time per week, then adding 60 min of cardio on the treadmill 2-3 of the other days of the week...

Morning BBs, TGIF!!! Brrr, a cold 9 degrees here this morning when I left for work. Winter is here! Walked on the treadmill again this am, 60 min and did some abs. I think next week I will start a rotation doing SJP, C&W and Circuit Max with walks on the in between days. I need...

Hi everyone, I am trying to think of Christmas gifts for my mom. She used to love Charelen's show on tv, so I was thinking of getting her some of her DVDs. My mom is not into complex footwork or step, and her fitness level is beginner, though she could work up to intermediate I think if she...

Hey everyone, Just curious how many of you Catheites do WW? I have been going, although my loss is going slowly. I only have about 10# to lose so I know it will take time. If you do go to WW (or online), how do you judge your activity points for Cathe workouts? I don't feel the points...

Seeing Laura's thread below got me thinking... Does anyone else have a treadmill routine--walking or running or both--that they could share? I have a few, don't have them with me but will post them later. TIA! -Thea

Good morning BBs, It's a bummer that Monday is here again. It seems to come up on us so fast! I did a treadmill workout for 25 minutes followed by PP this morning. Had my weigh in Saturday morning at WW, but stayed the same. Probably better than a gain though! Had a good weekend but ate...
