RE: Endurance work and hypertrophy . . . . need your in... Thank you! That helps a lot :-) I have another question along the same lines. During an endurance workout, should your goal be to gradually increase your weight so that you can lift heavier and heavier over time with the same...

Hello All! Recently I find myself reading up a lot on the differences between strength and endurance training. Please chime in and help me understand. If I am working a muscle to complete failure during an endurance workout like CTX Upper Body for example, am I causing hypertrophy...

Thanks! Thanks Carole! I can't wait to get to the point I can lift that heavy. I'll let you know when I get there ;-) Faiza

Hello Carole! First of all, let me say that you look absolutely fabulous! I think I better start keeping your awesome muscles in mind next time I'm working out ;-) I recently read one of your posts in which you indicated that you lift about 60lbs and are currently using Cathe's PS...

Great question! I too would like to see some feedback on this one :-) Thanks! Faiza

Hi All, Could you please tell me what size weights Cathe uses in Gym Style Legs? Does she ever exceed 40 lbs? Because that would be so cool if she does :-) Thanks, Faiza

Thanks for the encourgaing words Deb! I can't wait to till the day I can do all of MIC in one shot. I'll let you know when I get there ;-) Have a wonderful week :-) Faiza

Hi Deb! First of all, congratulations on finishing all of MIC! What an accomplishment :-) I still have to split the hi/lo and step and I can only do the step portion with a 6" height. I've got to get strong enough to do it all in one shot! It is one fantastically intense workout. I...

Hi Carol! I think The Viper is the most approachable Terminator workout. It was the first Terminator I could see myself attempting since I have only recently become strong enough to do Cathe's workouts 6 days a week. I am currently doing a cardio and circuit rotation which alternates 3...

Fellow Cathe-ites: I have a question about squats. I understand that you are supposed to squeeze your butt as hard as you can when you lift up. But are you also supposed to be squeezing as you are lowering into the squat? Right now, I make sure that as I go down, my knees don't...

Fellow Cathe-ites I have a question about CTX Upper Body. Are you able to use the same weights that Cathe is using in this workout? I ask this because while the highest weight used in any exercise does not exceed 30 lbs, the reps seem a little fast to me. In PUB, Cathe does slower...

Bumping again! I would really like Cathe's feedback on this one :-) Faiza

Bumping!! Faiza

Thanks Ann! That helps quite a lot. Now that I think about it, it really does make most sense to lift upwards from the hips instead of in towards the chest. I was just previewing the Leaner Legs ab workout again which Cathe begins with the reverse crunch. I noticed that her lower back seems...

Fellow Cathe-ites: I've become a real stickler for proper form since I've been working out with Cathe. I have a question about reverse crunches. While doing the reverse crunch, are you raising your legs straight up, or are you bringing the knees in towards the chest? When I look carefully...

RE: What brand of barbells do you use in your videos an... Hi Sam! Not Cathe here but I know that Cathe uses the Troy Lite Barbell in her Intensity Series and the Body Blast Series. I got mine at www.fitness1st.com. She might use the same in other series but I know for sure that she...

Hello All! I have a question about 2 core exercises that Cathe does in Boot Camp that target the obliques. There's one in Cycle #1 where the ball is resting on the side of the core and you are sinking up and down with the ball placed on the side of your core. I am new to this type of...

I just tried it in IE and it worked! Thanks so much :-) My favorite browser is Mozilla but I guess I'll be using IE for this site. Thanks again and have a great week!! Faiza-

Hi All: Some of you have posted the following link for accessing Cathe's rotations. http://www.fitnessvideofanatics.com/publicrotations/keep.fit When I click on this link I only get the html format so I cannot view the page correctly. Can anyone please tell me what I could do...

Oh, I too love love love the Intensity Series. I was introduced to Cathe through this series with PUB, PLB & ME which I own on video. My sister is getting me the entire series on DVD for my B-day later this month and I am so excited I cannot contain myself. I think it will prepare me well for...
