I haven't tried all the workouts yet. I really like the muscle meltdowns, I've done them all and wow! They fried my muscles.

Don't forget some sort of lower body. I haven't done To the Mat yet, but I think it is going to be a nice compliment to running.

I tend to just do the strength workouts and then use running for cardio. How many days per week are you running? And how long have you been using Cathe workouts? I run 5-6 days per week. I tend to do a leg workout on the same day as a run. As a beginner, this may not be a good idea. With ICE...

I tend to only do strength training from Cathe and run 4 or 5 days per week. It also depends on what my goal is at that point in time. In the winter, I tend to add more strength training or Cathe cardio if I don't feel like running in the cold or on the treadmill. If I am training for something...

There is a pyramid down pre-mix on the DVD that starts with the 8 reps or heaviest weights.

I run 4 or 5 times per week. I typically only do the strength DVDs of rotations. This tends to fit in pretty well with running, at most I may have to double up one day where I do a run & upper body weight work. I would recommend printing out the rotation and figuring out how you think workouts...

I don't know the link, but I know I've seen ones. I run 4 or 5 days per week and do 2 or 3 strength training DVDs per week. If I see a rotation that interests me, I will do just the strength training DVDs and run the other days.

Raises hand, my tuck jumps are pathetic. I just did High Step Challenge yesterday, the combo with both the air jack and tuck, I'm sure they looked similar, although I think I at least got my legs a little separated during the air jack. The jumps are way more challenging to me on carpet. Many...

Kohl's. If you have a credit card, they send discounts very frequently. If you need suits, they probably aren't a good option (although they do sell some separates). I get most of my dress pants & sweaters there. I buy them when they are on sale or clearance and I have a 15% or more discount.

When I used to bike outside, I would go almost every day. Since it was no impact, I never needed much recovery. Of course, being 20 may have had something to do with it. Now I do spinning DVDs 2 days per week and run3 days. Maybe add easier bike sessions in where you just go at a...

I have the same issue. I went from getting running shoes in a 9.5 to 10.5. I don't understand why athletic shoes have narrow toes. My foot doesn't have a pointy end to it. I'm lucky that I live close to Holabird Sports, so I can go try on lots of different shoes, and then still not find any.

I have had that issue with 2 old HRMs that I had. One was not digital and the instructions said it could pick up interference by powerlines. I run under powerlines, so my HR was either really low (like 30) or 240. The second HRM I got was a digital Timex. When it started to die a slow death, it...

I would recommend you look at the board of physical therapy for your state. Not sure that all states have the same details, but in Maryland, you can find the requirements for all licensed professionals on the various board websites. Another thing to consider, some facilities hire PT aides...

Are you able to see a PT without a referral? May be worth finding out what is best for your situation. For example, when I asked my PT about stretching, she said in my case it was not necessary, the issue was the strength imbalance, YMMV. I forgot about upright rows, I don't do them either...

Had/have this problem. I paid way too much to go to PT for 12 weeks to do upper body strength training, which is what triggered the issue in the first place. Anyway, one takeaway from PT is what exercises for me to avoid. I don't do anything overhead and am really careful with things like lying...
