Thanks for all of your help everyone. I will definitely try some of the Cathe's other cardios...esp kick, punch, and crunch...and just try to modify them so I can do it in my little livingroom. Thanks again!! Lisa

Hi Cathe!! I was hoping you could help me. I am 5'3". I am about 118 and most of my weight resides in my thighs, hips, and butt. My thighs and calves are naturally muscular. However, it is so much so that it makes them look bulky rather than slim and lean.I know that this is partly due to...

Thanks for the comments! Haha...oh...I know about proper posture...I actually have good posture. The whole relaxing my abs thing is just when I am obsessing and looking in the mirror. Any other time I make sure I don't slouch. Hehehe...maybe I need to just stop obsessing.:-) Lisa

Hi Cathe! It seems like every time I turn around I have another question to ask!! (hehehe...sorry). So, since doing your workouts I have noticed more muscle definition in my abs. I know that I do still need to lose the tiny bit of fat around my waist for them to really show through...

Wow! What a quick response! You certainly are on top of things! Thanks so much. I will try these suggestions! Thick thigh muscles do run in the family...now if only I can trick mine into believing they come from long, lean genetics... wish me luck! ;-) Thanks again! Lisa

Hi Cathe! I was just wondering if it is okay to do cardio on the same day as weight training the legs? On nice days I like to run outside. I live in Syracuse, NY which tends to be very hilly, so I am lucky if I can last 30 minutes during my cardio! Anyway, since my run involves a couple of...

I would like to know the answer to this as well!!

RE: That Hi, Thanks! I am actually not a fan of licorice, but I do enjoy raisins! Thanks for the suggestions and I will make sure I drink lots of water! Lisa

RE: That Thanks Cathe! That is great advice...especially since I have a history of anemia. I am sure that my iron levels do go down during that time, which will impact my stamina. I will try your suggestions. Thanks a lot!! Lisa :-)

Hi Cathe! First off I just want to say you rock! Second...and not to be gross, but do you have any suggestions for exercise during "that time of the month". I have often heard that exercise is supposed to help with cramps, but for me that is just not true. In fact, usually a week before...

Yeah, I kind of figured that there isn't much I can do. I am defintely glad that I have strong solid calves...it's just bad when your calves are bigger than your boyfriends! ;-) Thanks for all your comments!! Lisa

Hi Cathe, This may sound weird, but is there a way that you can reduce muscle mass that has formed naturally. My calves are naturally thick for my size. The calf area is the one area that I usually don't do weight training with because they are already so big. Is there a way that I can...

Hey Cathe, I was hoping you could help me out. I have been working out for a while now, and I can see that my abs are becoming a little bit more defined. However, my lower ab muscle is quite thick, so much so that it protrudes a little if I relax my ab muscles. It looks like I am in early...
