Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try. I feel like maybe I'm pulling my chin too far toward my chest. Maybe this would help me keep my spine more, um, neutral? Is that the right way to use neutral spine? :-) Thank you! - Sarah

Hi Cathe, I'm not new to exercising, but I have recently started doing crunches after years of ignoring abs completely. I have your Ab Hits and loads of your other DVDs and tapes. Is it normal for your neck to be kind of sore while doing crunches, or is something likely wrong with my form? As...

:-) Thanks to EVERYONE who replied! I have been out of Cathe World for awhile, so I'm going to have to decipher all the new acronyms for the videos! It's my 35th birthday soon so I'm going to buy some new videos to try to preserve myself for another few years! ;) Sounds like there are many great...

I have many of Cathe's older videos, but have missed many of the newer releases. What is her most effective workout to tone and strengthen the legs? I'd like definition in my thighs, hamstrings, etc. What's the best of the best? :-)

Thank you for the video suggestions. I already have Pure Strength and Slow and Heavy. Maybe it's time to add a new strength vid too to increase my motivation! Thank you! :-)

Thank you for the reply! I will try to start some cardio and try to get back into the swing of things. Maybe i can uncover my cut muscles underneath my flab! :-) Thank you!

I'm a full time working Mom and don't have a lot of time to work out. I have a jillion Cathe videos but have been away from working out for awhile. I look fine (thin) when I'm dressed, but when you see my body, I'm just not toned at all. Layer of flab all around. What is the most efficient type...

RE: What's P90X? :) This is absolutely true! I can easily skip breakfast and even lunch on most days and it really doesn't affect me that much . . . so the thought of eating enough protein is very daunting, especially when I just don't eat that often. Sigh. It's a challenge. Thanks for the link...

Oh, forget it! I figure out by Google what P90X is. Thanks! Looks scary!

:-) Yes, I have a little one who drags every virus home from school with him. Urgh! I should try to eat more little meals like you do - I'm not a very healthy eater - I tend to skip meals, which isn't good.

Thank you for the reply. I'm always looking for alternative ideas for adding protein - it's SO hard when you don't like to eat much meat!

What's P90X? Hi Kathryn, Thanks to you and everyone for your replies to my question. I've been out of the Cathe loop for awhile and mainly have her older videos and DVDs. Is P90X an abbreviation for a video? Thanks - Sarah

I have a largely vegetarian diet, but I'm a skinny-but-flabby. I weigh about 118 and am 5'7. I have a hard time putting on muscle and am just getting back into working out after a long lapse. It's hard for me to get protein in. What's the minimum amount I should get for putting on some muscle? I...

Thanks! I guess time will tell I'm very pale, so I'll try to be patient, sigh. Pregnancy changes your body in so many ways, it's amazing.

I had my baby on March 23rd, 2001 and didn't get any stretch marks or anything, but the linea negra is still there - it's a lot more faded than it used to be, but it's still there. That brown line that runs vertically to my non-existent abs is getting a little annoying :-) Is there something I...

Thanks, Cathe! Hope your pregnancy's going well! LAST EDITED ON Nov-30-01 AT 10:11AM (Est)[p]LAST EDITED ON Nov-30-01 AT 10:10 AM (Est) I just tried the Slow and Heavy's for the first time this week and I do like them a lot! I will try to watch my diet. I'm still not quite sure how to...

Hi - I got some great advice at VF about being a skinny flabby, but I wanted to ask my all-time favorite instructor about the issue I have. I'm within my target weight zone, but I'm flabby (arms not toned, flabby legs). I look OK with clothes on, but . . . I'd like to add some muscle. Since I'm...

Hi, I just got a DVD player, and I have the CTX Express DVD and the Cardio Kicks/Circuit Max DVDs. I remember that a pretty long time ago somewhere on this forum, some kind soul had actually figured out the timing of these DVDs so you could scan through them being guided by the time of each...

Thanks, Cathe! Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I think I'll pass on these devices. I'm not the world's most enthusiastic ab worker and I've had trouble reading about ab exercises to do while pregnant. The instructions always seem kind of complicated with all the inhaling, exhaling...

Hi - I know these machines probably aren't very popular on this forum, but I didn't know where else to ask this question. Does anyone know if it's OK to use those ab roller, "torso track" type machines while pregnant? I'm past my first trimester and don't want to do any improper ab work. I've...
