I have Muscle Max, and all 3 GS weight workouts. I have been mixing with these with riding a stationery bike and doing P90X Plyometrics, but I need a new cardio DVD as I'm getting bored with the bike and P90X Plyo. Any suggestions on which one of Cathe's cardio DVDs to get. I'm looking for...

I finished the 3-month P90X program about a month ago and am back to doing Cathe. I thought Cathe's Muscle Max would be so easy after the P90X, but I am wrong. Anybody else feel that the pace is too fast in P90X (you know... the max rotations instead of lifting slower with Cathe). I think...

Sure I would......but only for comedic relief. HaHa

Who takes a week off from weight training and how often? I've been doing this for a couple of years now and am wondering if breaks help. Advice please.

I am impressed. Awesome job. You are an inspiration.

I'm fit. I'm at my ideal weight. What I do is ride a stationery bike 3-5 times a week for 30 minutes. I ride at medium intensity usually being able to complete a 7 mile ride in the changing terrain setting in 30 minutes. I am also very dedicated to doing varying 6-week rotations of Cathy's...

Wow, when I decided to lose a few pounds a couple of years ago I had the same stats as you. I was, and of couse still am, 5'4" and weighed 132-135 lbs. and was wearing a size 8. So, to shed some light on your first question about sizes. I now weigh 116 lbs and wear a size 2. My twenty...

I thought this was neat so I am sharing. My parent's furnace broke this weekend and they couldn't get it fixed until Monday so my mom (my dad braved the cold) spent the day at my house on Sunday. She said, "don't worry about entertaining me and just go about what you would normally do" so I...

I love "the Brady Bunch" and "the Mary Tyler Moore Show." Also......I record "What Not to Wear" on the satellite system DVR and watch the shows for hours on Saturday nights after I put my daughter to bed. Yep....you read it correctly ladies....on Saturday night! My husband just rolls...

How many times do all you fit chicks suggest doing PUB per week? Once or twice? I'm thinking of splitting the PUB workout like I did GS Upper Body to a one body part per day. And I'm wondering if doing PUB only once per week is enough. I like to split it up because longer workouts are...

OMG - I forgot to add that this makes me extremly happy!!!!! No complaining here.

......and all of shirt sleeves in my exsisting wardrobe are shrinking! Or is is that my "guns" are getting bigger through Cathe workouts. Teehee. Teehee. But seriously - anyone else noticing that our arms are larger than the sleeves?

I also want to add that if you eat every 2.5 to 3 hours you keep yourself from getting overly hungry and making bad decisions. So eat a little something every few hours and this includes that evening snack. It has worked for me.

I too always have a hungry feeling in the evening around 8 pm or so. I eat something like pretzels, low fat micro pop corn, apple slices, low fat chips w/ salsa, etc. I leave room in my calories for this. If you're hungry you should eat, but just plan for it and make it part of your plan.

Thanks ladies. Yep, I got myself a faulty DVD. I finally found the premix section in the middle of the DVD (after the lower body workout section), but it doesn't work quite right. Next time I will buy direct. Thanks the the help.
