Not to hijack this thread, but I am curious about the Troy Lite system too. What are the advantages of the Troy Lite system vs. my cheapo set I got at Walmart? Besides the fact my clips are stiff and I can't easily change plates. Thanks, Kim

Imax 2 as training for Imax?! Now shall I be frightened or challenged? Can you say "blatently looking to be enabled"? Appreciate the feedback, I really wasn't aware how popular these are. The are on order, I definately need some 'real' cardio. Thanks again, Kim

Hello, Just getting back into Cathe after being tempted by other workouts that just didn't deliver, dang those other boards - lol! Anyway, thinking I may need more Cathe cardio. I currently have the Intensities, Timesaver, CTX, CK/CM, and KJP/SB and L&G/KPC on the way. Am considering the...

Just want to add that I don't live in NH anymore, but grew up there (Merrimack, by Nashua). Spent summers on Lake Winnisquam. I miss it so much, I now live in Arkansas. New England is so beautiful, miss the seasons changing. Driving through the White Mountains during Fall Foliage is one of...

Melanie, This was one of my best purchases when DD was younger. I got an InStep, middle-of-the-road model I think. I believe I also got the 21 inch tires w/aluminum (light weight) frame. InStep is now owned by Pacific Cycle who gave very good customer service when I needed to replace the...

Let's see: 1. I am 38 yrs old, but feel younger than I did 10 yrs ago thanks to my fitness vids. 2. Waited to be a mommy until 35. 3. 'Voluntarily' relocated from Connecticut to a rural Arkansas ranch. Financed through tech boom of late 90's, got out in time, phew! 4. Met my younger...

Debbie, This past year I also progressed from the Firm to mostly Cathe workouts. I got very ambitious and sold most of my Firms, and then regretted it. It seems that the transition from Intermediate to full-time advanced exerciser (all Cathe, all the time) didn't happen overnite for me...

I believe its free, but I think once upon a time you had to use their EAS supplements to qualify, and actually submit receipts for them. It may have changed though. I thought about joining the challenge, but b/c I am not doing the exact exercises in the book, I will not be able to submit the...

Mogambo, You've inspired me - I'm doing this combo this morning! I need to start focusing more on more lower body and stop wimping out -- Thanks for the suggestion!! Kim

I had a feeling that I might need to eat something, I think I will definately try the 1/2 protein bar trick. Guess I just didn't want to have to get up even earlier to accomodate, lol! Maybe I'll put off the rotation and just focus on 1 hour of exercise as I am used to until I acclimate...

Forgive me if this has been asked before -- but I am curious about am workouts on an empty stomach. I have read several items stating that you will burn more fat on an empty stomach working out in the morning. Does anyone know if this is really true, and if so, is it a significant...

Another consideration, do you have flexibility w/ceiling height for all those airborn jacks, etc? I'm not tall myself, but before I had a workout room, I was always afraid of hitting the ceiling fans in my living room. Oh yeah, they are nice to have for circulation too. Also, I would add an...

>6. Another good idea is to save money on a wedding dress. I >found a lovely Jessica McClintock for under $300. I just could >not bear the thought of wasting money on a dress I would never >wear again, but you may feel differently. I couldn't agree more. Another suggestion is Davids...

Need some opinions please. My little sister wants a couple Cathe VHS for Xmas. She would like a circuit style workout and a kickbox workout. Not having done K,P&C, I only know how much I like CK. Which would you recommend? Also any suggestions re: a circuit/total body workout would be...

I am a regular user of self-tanner, even in winter. I just use a lighter shade in winter. I have used many expensive ones, but the one I have stuck with that is more reasonable is by Neutrogena. Not sure if they sell that brand in your neck of the woods. It comes in both medium and dark, and...

Susan, I love hearing about the little ones and their exercising adventures. Its great to encourage them to enjoy themselves and be fit, especially when they can get frustrated wanting to keep up with everybody else. My 3 yr old DD also enjoys Elmocize! But, she enjoys "Exercising with...

Diane, I recently switched to Cathe after working out steadily with the Firm. I credit the Firm with getting me off my behind and becoming a regular exerciser. However, when I switched to Cathe, my Firms just gathered dust. My muscle definition increased quickly and my cardio capacity...

RE: a suggestion... Michele, Do you mean with my front foot on the 8 in step? Thanks, Kim

I too am a big fan of the whole wheat tortilla wrap. My favorite option is vegetarian; a gardenburger (or any veggie burger), which you can heat in a standard toaster or toaster oven. I wrap them with low fat mayo, soy cheese, spinach (pre-washed & cut from the bag) and toasted almonds...

Hey y'all, I have a question about weights used for squats vs. lunges. I am an intermediate exerciser and I use 25# barbell for several sets of squats, however for lunges I am lucky to use 5# dumbbells and usually drop them on low ends. Is it normal to have such a discrepancy in weight...
