It all depends upon your body, but I was doing cardio (either running 3 miles or Cathe Wedding or Firm Tough Cardio tapes) for 45 min. to 1 hour M, W, and F mornings before breakfast and then Cathe MIS Tues. and Thurs. nights (I'm not awake enough in a.m. to do weights). I noticed a lot of...

Hello, I just wanted to say that this is a great idea. Eating is the hardest thing for me, like most people. I was also wondering if when everyone writes in for this "challenge", if they could post what they ate for the day. I am so tired of looking through recipe books for new "healthy"...

Hello, I just wanted to say that you may want to get your blood pressure checked. If this hasn't always happened, your blood pressure may get a little too high when you are exercising. : )

Hello, I had tried Hydroxycut for 1 month and I did notice a "burning" sensation that made me feel like I was "burning fat", and it made me sweat three times as much as usual. I did have to drink ALOT more water and I only took 1 pill a day, so I didn't follow the recommendations on the bottle...

I had been fighting with my doctor for almost 2 years before he finally decided to check up on my headaches. He insisted they were migraines, until one day I begged him to check my blood sugar. He did a fasting blood test and the results cam back that I was hypoglycemic. I had to cut out all...

Hello, here are a few good web-sites that you can check out. Some of them give you a menu (after filling out their forms), and some just give you good tips. http://www.goldsgym.com http://www.fitnessheaven.com...

Welcome and good luck! For many years the only tapes I ever sis was The Firm tapes, until I tried a Cathe. I still do The Firm "Tough Cardio" and the "Hare" workout, but even though they are all good tapes, they tend to add bits and pieces of old tapes in new ones and if you get bored doing...

Oh my goodness, the soreness is what keeps me driving on!!! I would suggest that rather than be sore (to where you can't move), simply take an hour walk, starting out at your normal pace and moving your arms gradually until you are warmed up, then gradually add speed and pump your arms up and...

Hello, I don't know how "into" aerobic's you are, but I am a 28 yr. old, 5'5", 135 lb. female that only does 1 Cathe tape (during summer) and that is the MIS (Maximum Intensity Strength). I run 4 mornings a week for at least 45 min. and in place of lifting weights, I do the Cathe tape twice a...

Hello, I started out beind a ST Nurse Aide, but after 7 years of busting butt I had to go to school for something else! Now, I work for my family business as an office manager. The benefits are great, but the 45 min. each way drive sucks. I also hate (very much) sitting around so much even...

RE: Congratulations on your race! Congrats!! I am working my way there, and yes, as a matter of fact this morning I felt like I had no energy and actually got winded because I was so drained, but I finished my route. : )

Thank you honeybunch (you have answered a lot of my inquiries :), Andrea and Cyndie - I appreciate all of your suggestions and will check them out ASAP! As for any other addresses, I am a book and wedsite freak when it comes to health/fitness - you learn something new almost everyday, so if...

Lori: I just wanted to add that there is also a great article on her in Muscle & Fitness mag (May 2001). If that's what the 40's look like, I better get busy and keep it up!! : )

Lori: Hello, I know everyone is trying to enjoy the sunshine, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend any good health or fitness websites. Wether they be for weightlifting or health, I am interested in any of them. I'm also interested in any recipe sites; I have checked out...

Lori: Is there anyone out there with scoliosis in their lower back, and if so, do you have any problems with weight training and aerobics (such as pulled muscles, pain in tendons of legs, etc.) because of the hip bone not being evenly aligned?

Lori: Veronica, it's funny you should mention that you are oversensitive to sugar. I am hyperglycemic, which means my bloodsugar spikes up too high when I eat sugar therefore I am not supposed to eat any sugar. This is what I try for: 45 - 60 minutes aerobics 5 days a week every morning at...

I have been trying to eat 5 small meals a day, going by how I "feel" as to when and how much I eat. Lately my stomach has gotten used to eating every 3 - 4 hours during the day, but I am never full and have noticed that I am muching little snacks more and more, but my stomach still growls at...

Hello Nikki! I just wanted to let you know that I, like you, decided to "do something nice for myself" about 6 months ago and it also backfired. I went to a salon, something I hadn't done in at least 10 years (I have long straight hair and always cut it myself), to get a large curl perm. I...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-15-01 AT 01:49PM (Est)[p]LAST EDITED ON Mar-15-01 AT 01:48 PM (Est) I live with a husband who claims to be a "health-freak", but continuously eats junkfood (popcorn, cookies, peanut butter - my favorite - toast, etc.). I have been doing so well lately, but it seems I am...

Thank you for everyone's comments....they really helped. I just got Bodymax (from the library) so I can check it out first. I watched it lastnight just to see what I was in for and it looks as if I may have to try without the step first just to get the footwork down. And here I thought that...
