    Today I did my very 1st Cathe workout!!!!

    :) glad you had such fun...congrats on getting the choreography right away. Wish I was good as it as you seem to be! :) Isn't Cathe way too likable? Instead of swearing at her, she has a way of making break out in giggles...just when I need to conentrate..and I lose the reps. Oh well!

    What kind of bra do I need?

    not a dumb question at all! Unfortunately, I don't know...I'd have the same question myself. Although it might help people answer if you can tell how wide the shoulder straps on the tank tops are? I only wear tank tops that take up the whole shoulder area...just that the sleeve is cut...

    My last dance with the FIRM

    Reading your posts wants me to get out the big box of old firm tapes (from the classics days, and the ones after .... I dropped the Firm by the 'new style' days) that I packed up and maybe do one or two out of curiousity and to compare 'me' then vs. now, and how my perception of them has...

    Did anyone else used to think they didn't like working out?

    I'm not sure at what age it happened...it seemed to co-incide with my chest growing to 36 DD in high school. All of a sudden I found running and jumping around difficult, and didn't like it anymorel (go figure). Years later I grew very obese. Although I was an active kid, at tht point, I...

    Anyone else ever see an "ex" on Match.com?

    RE: Anyone else ever see an i do know my ex-husband put a profile up on match.com, but I never did read it (and it never came up in my searches, hehe). Not that you asked, but......to emphasize what others have said: Do be careful....I had a very bad experience where I was borderline...

    Cheating men......

    I don't think by 'get through this' she necessarily meant she was going to work it out with him...I took it as a 'move on, get through the heartache' type of 'get through this'. I'm so sorry to hear this...I can't imgine how difficult this must be. Surround yourself with good people, good...

    Fun Question!! How has exercise and cleaner eating ...

    I'd say that I use it as a natural anti-depressant...coming from a family with bi-polar as well as 'standard' depressive tendencies, and having experienced the same myself...that is huge. My mind feels better...I agree with the Greeks and the mind-body connection...I feel 'stronger' in...

    Why aren't my muscles sore?!

    Interesting reading about DOMS and recovery. I've always been worried about my lack of DOMS this time round. I've had it in the past, and I've also had very bad insomnia in the past. Now I'm getting adequate rest and am almost DOMS-free. I am quite sure it's not a very nutritious diet that is...

    Is step more beneficial than other cardio?

    I hope so....I'll be interested in other responses. That's been my rationale for the cardio I've chosen at times...spinning or cycling, step, kickboxing.....I'll be interested in reading the responses. It's a good question.

    Will I get results with 5, 8, 10 lb weights?

    I'd start with the 10, if I were you, and continue as long as I could with good form (emphasis, on good form). Then I'd drop to the 8, then, if needed, drop down to the 5. Next time, you'll be able to go a little longer with the 10, and longer the next, etc. Or, even better, I'd give myself...

    What is your weekend workout? Sat or Sun or Both

    Hey Kathy, I looked up Big Lake, and sure is far to go to the chain of lakes. :) I'd think it would be worth throwing the bike in the car, though, and day-tripping there. That's one nice surprise I found in this state...the bike routes. :) Technicially, I exacberated my knee pain...

    How do you plan to rotate Cathe's new workouts?

    I'll have to wait to see where I'm at when they come, and what I want to improve on next, and what they feel like when I do them. :) If they come while it's still nice outside, one day, at least, will be devoted to biking outside. Or.....I'll rotate them however she recommends. :) Naah, I...
