Hi Bam! I responded to your post on the Videos/DVD questions board. Then I realized this AM I never checked back to see if you responded. . . and you didn't :-( Well, I have nothing to report. I haven't had anything on my schedule except Advil since yesterday, LOL. It's "that time of...

Hi Bam! Thanks for your wonderful post. It is great to know I'm not alone in beginning (once again) my life as a Cathe-ite. I've decided that I just cannot stop this time. I always get soooo bummed out about starting, doing well and then stopping again because other things in my life...

Hello Everyone! Can anyone give me any tips on how to do dead rows properly? I've been checking my form and trying to adjust the way I'm spacing my hands on the bar or if I'm leaning forward properly, etc. But no matter what I do, I cannot feel this exercise in my lats. By the end, my...

Hello Everyone! Do sit n' stands work the quads or the glutes? I feel them in both areas but I was wondering which muscle group this exercise targets mostly. Thanks much :-) Faiza

Hello everyone! I've noticed that quite a few of you on the forum are vegetarians. I would like to start adding a lot more veges to my diet and am looking for a simple cookbook to start with. What would you recommend? I steam the veges I eat now (which is good) but I want to find more...

Fellow Catheites, Is it ok to do up to 3 total body workouts per week? I do not have any of Cathe's split routines but have a good collection of her total body workouts. I know you should be looking for signs of overtraining but if you are feeling strong enough, is it ok to challenge...

Hi Carole! I have recently started incorporating running into my routine and I need some advice on how to get started. I thought I'd ask an experienced runner ;-) As a beginner, should I focus on maintaning a steady state heart rate and gradually increase my speed, or should I just go...

Hi All! Can anyone give me some form pointers for doing bicep concentration curls on the stability ball? In one of the Timesaver workouts, Cathe places her elbow on the stability ball and does a curl. I could not feel any tension from doing this move. I know that the ball is supposed to...

Hello! Can somebody please tell me the length of the Dynaband Cathe uses in the Hardcore series? Also, I've noticed there are various different lengths available. Does the resistance increase with a band that is shorter or longer in length? Thanks much :-) Faiza

Hello All! Recently I find myself reading up a lot on the differences between strength and endurance training. Please chime in and help me understand. If I am working a muscle to complete failure during an endurance workout like CTX Upper Body for example, am I causing hypertrophy...

Hello Carole! First of all, let me say that you look absolutely fabulous! I think I better start keeping your awesome muscles in mind next time I'm working out ;-) I recently read one of your posts in which you indicated that you lift about 60lbs and are currently using Cathe's PS...

Fellow Cathe-ites: I have a question about squats. I understand that you are supposed to squeeze your butt as hard as you can when you lift up. But are you also supposed to be squeezing as you are lowering into the squat? Right now, I make sure that as I go down, my knees don't...

Fellow Cathe-ites I have a question about CTX Upper Body. Are you able to use the same weights that Cathe is using in this workout? I ask this because while the highest weight used in any exercise does not exceed 30 lbs, the reps seem a little fast to me. In PUB, Cathe does slower...

Fellow Cathe-ites: I've become a real stickler for proper form since I've been working out with Cathe. I have a question about reverse crunches. While doing the reverse crunch, are you raising your legs straight up, or are you bringing the knees in towards the chest? When I look carefully...

Hello All! I have a question about 2 core exercises that Cathe does in Boot Camp that target the obliques. There's one in Cycle #1 where the ball is resting on the side of the core and you are sinking up and down with the ball placed on the side of your core. I am new to this type of...

Hi All: Some of you have posted the following link for accessing Cathe's rotations. http://www.fitnessvideofanatics.com/publicrotations/keep.fit When I click on this link I only get the html format so I cannot view the page correctly. Can anyone please tell me what I could do...

Hello All, I am new to Cathe and the forum. I discovered Cathe about 2 months ago and am beginning to see and feel why she has such a cult like following! I cannot be without my Cathe workouts; I don't know how I ever got by without them! Ok, on to my dilemma. I am currently living in an...
