RE: Question for HTH LAST EDITED ON Jul-21-02 AT 06:28PM (Est)[p]Hi Sharon – Yes! I really lost more body fat when I decreased cardio. I know it is very hard to believe because I still can’t believe it myself. And yes I lost an additional pound when I recently increased my calories from...

Hi Nicole - I was really worried about decreasing cardio at first too, but I was hitting a plateau. This rotation is a lot of fun and it allows for a variety of workouts. I have tried to follow rotations in the past, but I can't seem to stick with them long enough to see results. I've been...

Hi Jen - I'd love to have a workout buddy. I too love Cathe's workouts. It's good to have someone to check-in with. It keeps me more motivated. Please email me if you're interested at [email protected].

Hi Jeanne - Not sure if you were asking me about my experience, but I didn't alter my diet. I tend to eat more carbs than protein because I'm not a big meat eater. I am 5'3" and now 103 lbs. I usually eat a clean diet 5 days a week and allow cheating on the weekends within moderation of...

Hi Nicole - I lowered my cardio workouts and noticed a big difference in fat loss. I too gain weight in the abs and thighs. I used to do 5-6 days of cardio and weighttrain twice a week. I was doing all Cathe videos at the time. I felt like I was hitting a plateau. I decided to experiment...

Hi all - My goal was to work out 5 days this week and I did. Yeah! Mon-CTX Chest/Shoulders/Triceps + All Step (cardio only) Tue-Meaner Legs + 50 min. walk Wen-Walked 7 miles to workout pain in legs from yesterday's workout Thr-CTX Back/Biceps/Abs + Kickbox (cardio only) + 50 min. walk...

Hi Stacy! What has worked for me was varying intensity. I used to do 1 weight training session/week & cardio 5-6 days/week - mostly Cathe and always step aerobics. When I started varying intensity, duration and different cardio workouts, my body responded immediately. I am already lean, but...

Thanks Haslina! I figured there weren't really any tapes that could compare to MIC! lol Thanks for the links!

Hi all - Looks like everyone had a great week. I had a good week for me. I got in some sort of exercise 6 days - yeah! Monday-Legs/Abs (gym) + 50 min. walk (unable to any cardio because my legs are so sore. OUCH!) Tuesday -Back/Delts (gym) + 50 min. walk (legs still very sore - no extra...

Hi everyone - I really love the hi/lo portion of MIC. It is very intense! Can anyone recommend hi/lo tapes comparable in intensity (that are non-Cathe)? Is that possible? :)

Hi Nicole - I can tell you my experience with working out. When I worked out almost every day and did 5-6 days of cardio I did see results at first, but of course I hit a plateau. In the past 3-4 weeks I decided to decrease my cardio and increase my weight workouts. I really saw some changes...

Hi everyone! I agree - having 2 rest days gives your body adequate rest. I am also seeing better results since I've cut my cardio down and included more strength training sessions. I used to do 5-6 days of cardio a week plus strength train too. I alternate between (3 days/cardio + 2...

My favorite step tapes are Powermax, Step Works, Rhythmic Step, Bodymax, CTX All Step, and CTX Step & Intervals.

Hi Bebop- I am doing something slightly similar. I love Cathe, but have read that you should cross-train so you don't hit plateaus. Silly me sold all my Firm tapes so I have been using Fitprime's videos (which are similar to the Firm.) Do you have Bodymax? It has some great upperbody work...

RE: Step & Intervals with All Step Another vote for All Step and Step & Intervals. I did that the other day and I had so much fun! I did did All Step first and then Step & Intervals. Call me a nut for doing the intervals last! lol

Hi Lori - Great week! Hope it's okay if I post here too! I've been working on about 5 lbs. of flab that is located on my abs. So far my rotation seems to be working well. I am rotating cardio with strength days. I am seeing results finally! My abs are starting to peak through. Yippeee...

Hi Nicole - I can't really advise you on what tapes to rotate because I've never done a rotation with S&H Legs. I have used PS Legs and Leaner Legs though. I think you could do PS Legs twice a week. I would make sure that you put at least 48 hours between your leg workouts so your leg...

Hi Nicole - You are not bothering me at all! I love to talk about exercise in case you didn¡¦t notice. Tee hee ;) Weight lifting is a great exercise and if I can convince more people of that it makes my day. My problem was my inner thighs too, but remember that the more muscle you build the...

Hi Nicole – Don’t feel wimpy by any means! I definitely worked up to those weights. I worked out with my sister and she made me push myself. She has an awesome body so I knew I better do what she told me. LOL! Yes – that is the leg press I am talking about. We have two at our gym. The...
