    Best way to strengthen lower back

    Thanks for the reply Paula, I was in tears yesterday about this injury as I am usually a very active person. It's nice to hear that this will heal as I have been reading a lot of negative news. One question, do I need to get rid of all my high impact cardio? I love Cathe but am scared that...

    Best way to strengthen lower back

    I also slipped a disc (or two or three) in my lower back 2 weeks ago. I have been on anti inflamitories (sorry can't spelling) and been to the Chiropractor a few times. I have not done any exercising as the pain is still pretty intense. I am also wondering what exercises are best once I can...

    Saddle bags (YUK!) need help!

    Hi Cathe Nice to see you on the forums! I have got great advice from reading all the posts! Thanks everyone! Now my question: I am 5'7", about 130-132 pounds (pear shaped). I can't seem to get rid of my saddle bags! My body look pretty good except for the side bulge. You know the fat that...

    Fine Tuning Question

    One thing that works for me is no snacking at night. If I have supper at a decent hour and eat nothing after (maybe tea) I seem to be able to maintain my weight. I also sleep better and feel happier in the morning. Maybe you don't have a problem like I do with eating at night but for me it...

    Fitness vs. Body Building

    Just wanted to mention my DH (before I met him) was into serious heavy lifting. It was all fine and dandy then but now he is 36 and starting to pay for his bad form or lifting too heavy. He is constanly having back and knee problems which he says where caused by lifting too much weight (and...

    My powermax whine

    I find that one quite amusing:-) I tend to try and laugh at things that could otherwise drive me nuts. My favorite line in that workout is when Cathe asks the crew if they want to work harder and then says "let's work harder" again in a funny voice. I always crack a smile at that point. Maybe I...

    Cathe, what to do with weak side?

    Hi Cathe, First, just wanted to say I have fallen in love with your workouts! I have collected 32 of yours in the last 6 months (my DH says I get no Christmas presents this year because of you, LOL. Don't worry, I'll change that!). I love your energy and the athletic style of teaching. I have...

    SLOW & HEAVY REP SPEED VARIATIONS....

    I am just finishing up a 3 week rotation with S&H doing 4/4 count. I actually like it better and I really like the balance of the 4 up, 4 down count. I have been able to increase my weight for lots of excersies in the third week. I have also notice a size increase in my arms/shoulders/chest. I...

    Thanks! I am definitely ordering the HC series because I almost own all her others! I'm glad not all of the DVD's have sound issues. It will make it an even better experience! Thanks gals! Valerie

    Muscle Max Question

    I'm pretty new to Cathe and don't own a barbell. I have shoulder issues and one side is a lot stronger on my body than the other so dumbbells work best for me (helps balance me out!). When I'm using heavy weight (like 20-25lb dumbbells) I put a small hand towel over my shoulders and then rest...

    Sound question for Hardcore's

    Hi, Can somone be so kind as to tell me if all the Harcore series has a sound issue or was this fixed half way through printing? I want to make sure I buy the DVD's without the low sound if available. If not, I'll handle the sound issue, just would like to know, Thanks, Valerie

    Where to stay in Cancun?

    I vote for Cozumel! It's an island near Cancun. You can fly into Cancun and take a small plane over or the 30 minute ferry. Cancun is just a big busy city IMO. Cozumel is smaller and I like it a lot better. My step parents own Baldwin's Guest House which is rated number 1 accommodation in...

    P90X

    >Go to Video Rotations and look for P90x using GS & Intensity >Series. OK, thanks! Of course, I don't own the GS though. I wonder if some of Cathe's other workouts could sub in for the GS????

    P90X

    Does anyone know where I can find a P90X rotation list using Cathe workouts? Or is Cathe so totally different it would not work to sub her tapes? Valerie

    Recs for Vegan Cheese Please

    Cathe--did your fitness routine change

    Hi rcbinmichigan! Thanks so much for your post. It was so inspirational! I have been moving our diet to Vegan for the last year. My husband and I eat the occasional egg, fresh from a neighbors farm or a piece of wild salmon once a month. We have never felt better! No dairy to cause flem and...
