I agree.. because I made this mistake..tried out a detox pill and fiber mix supplement that I picked out from Whole Foods...I was SICK for 2 days w/ vomiting that started about 6 hours after I drank the fiber mix...it was as if I had food poisoning but it was too coincidental with that detox...

Hi Susan, I'm excited about the new series too and will also be keeping an eye out for a rotation. I may also have to do some modifying. I just started exercising consistently again last month and cardio workouts have never been my thing..I am just now accepting how much I need them. ;) I am...

Yep, that's pretty much all there is to it..I think someone wrote though that if you end up going beyond 15 reps...that you should pick a heavier weight and try the test again...even though I think the calculator has reps that go up to 24 or so. A list of your 1RM's will show up in the "One...

This is the way I decided to do it, it's a short-cut..so it depends on where you're coming from if this would work for you. I am coming from a point of just now getting back into an exercise groove...knowing that I don't need every weight to be 100% perfect the first time I do the exercise. The...

I was going to post up a similar question. Currently I am only doing 1x/wk Pilates reformer sessions as my only specific core work. What would you all say is the minimum amount of core work that should be done to have a balanced fitness routine and to have a strong core for other exercises...

I've had external hard-drives become corrupted and quit on me also...so if I were going to order downloads, I would back them up on an internet storage site like the "Cloud" storage they offer on Amazon. But then you're stuck with fees..so it would probably only be beneficial if you have many...

I hear you on this...! Oh well, maybe this time, right? ;)

I went to a place called the "California Health & Longevity Institute" which is a really over-the-top upscale medical facility and spa near Thousand Oaks, CA...the kind of place that makes you go 'are they for real about this?'..lol..but the BodPod measurement wasn't too expensive, at $65...

For exfoliation, I use: -Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Cream: At $75 per jar, this is pricey, but I only use it about 2x a week and you only need a small amount. The granules are very fine but they are coarse and concentrated so it really gets the job done. It's comparable to Kate...

Have any other Cathletes had this done? I thought it was an interesting experience... No eating or drinking two hours before hand...you have to wear spandex workout gear or swimwear to make sure there is no air in your clothing; they also have you wear a fabric swimcap to compress your hair...

I believe the Butts & Guts DVD has a floor work section that people found to be challenging and long enough to be a good workout on it's own. I don't own it yet but I remember reading the good reviews..you might want to do a search for that one or check it out in the video clips.

That's been my experience so far too... I wonder why that is. I thought maybe it was just me cause I had never really completed an endurance leg workout or had worked out my arms more in recent history.. My arms do feel fatigued for a few hours after the workout though. Cathe's other...

Thanks for the suggestions..! I recovered from the DOMS but between STS legs and trying to do step workouts later in the week, my knees feel stressed out. Think I will be doing arms tomorrow and giving legs a rest for a few days.

Laura, Glad to hear someone is having success using the DVDs this way... I'm returning to exercise after about 1 year of being sedentary and I've never been a stepper. My knees feel way too stressed on a 6 inch step..even for Cathe's easiest videos..started one yesterday and quit early. I...

Hi everyone :) I was wondering if anyone has any favorite videos that you reach for on days that you are too sore to do anything high impact or do kickboxing moves. I just started STS on Wednesday w/ Disc 3 and my hamstrings and glutes are so sore that it had me practically waddling around...

I like the FitBit...was wearing it clipped on to my pants most of the day. I haven't worn it and the GWF together, though I think if you do a search there are some people who had and said it was comparable. It doesn't claim to sense the heat of your body or your speed like the GWF does..but I...

I think that the GoWearFit has a hard time picking up on activities where there is low impact because it really is getting most of its calorie burn information from the steps you take..I have heard of some people attaching it to their leg for cycling in order to get a better reading. I have...

A couple months ago, I tried one called CleanseSmart or SmartCleanse..something like that. It has a picture of a sun on the package. On Day 2 I was SICK with food poisoning-like symptoms for 48 hours. Could have been a coincidence but I'm not going to risk that again...!

My mom is bipolar, she was diagnosed with it in her 30's and she is turning 50 this year. I agree with cindi1 that the medications seem like a "crapshoot", it seems to be extremely trial and error. They are always making adjustments to her prescriptions. There has been times where looking back...

Thanks, Heidi (buckeyegirl) for all the advice. :)
