Johna, No problem, it was my pleasure to offer some suggestions. As for my cardio time: I usually go your standard 30-60 minutes depending on how much time I have to workout on a particular day. I DEFINITELY try to go a full 30 minutes and often have time to extend it to 45 minutes...it's a...

I was thinking about this while walking last evening and would loooove for Cathe to do a workout like this. I've taken a step class or two at my gym at school where the instructor has us place the step vertically/perpendicularly (however you want to look at it). I've even taken a class where...

Wow, what an amazing idea! I definitely second this suggestion! Two of my favorite ways to train all in one...these workouts could be a super set of push/pull exercises (ex. chest/back, bi's/tri's) done in pyramid weights format with the heaviest weight set being SLOW AND HEAVY! i might...

Rose11, How exciting! I did the drills again after my power walk this evening...killer. Slowly but surely getting there, your comments have encouraged me even more. Have a great rest of the weekend. Catie

Carole, Thanks so much! I have definitely decided to try this training method for awhile. I went shopping today and tried on some Seven jeans (kind of stupidly because I know they run a size or two small but tried anyway) and of course to no luck. I got really down on myself for awhile...

agreed, in my own experience shipping and customer service has been super fast and friendly. maybe it's because i live in NJ (and if i'm correct SNM is based in nj) but last week i ordered kick max and muscle max at approx. 8 am on a wednesday morning...it was at my doorstep THURSDAY afternoon...

WantFit and Reba, Thanks for addressing my question within your posts...they really helped me get a better feel for what freestyle is all about. I think i may try a rotation in the next week or so for a bit and see what happens. Reba, you totally described my lower half...I'm not overweight...

I'm interested in trying this rotation/concept and I have a quick question. We've all had it drilled into our minds that muscles need rest in between workouts to recover...and while you aren't necessarily lifting heavy EVERY single day for legs, would it be better for me to do one day of the...

So, got kick max the other day...tried it, was disappointed a bit at first...then decided to "revisit" it :) Today, I'm pretty close to LOVEing it. Though I can see myself getting burned out on doing the workout as a whole alot, I will definitely keep this and break it up to use in smaller...

I would also like to suggest Designer Whey protein powder in Strawberry. My brother turned me on to this product and I really like the Strawberry as well as Vanilla and Chocolate. For the most part, I always make a shake with them in a blender a few times a week after my weight workouts or...

Hi Johna, Welcome to the Cathe forums and a wonderfully healthy addiction! Hopefully I can be of some help with your questions...here are my suggestions. From your description, it sounds as if you are an intermediate/advanced exerciser and might be ready to go to the next level. Also...

RE: BEST Cathe beachgerrl, glad i could offer the suggestion! One of my good friends is currently looking to lose some weight but needs to build up her fitness level a bit first before diving into something more strenuous. I just found this DVD to be so perfect, Cathe just seems extra...

Cathe, WOW! so excited about these DVDs...even though I consider myself a high intermediate / advanced exerciser, I absolutly love any and everything you put out. I love my basic step/body fusion DVD just as much as my Intensity Series. They are not only great for beginners who could...

RE: BEST Cathe Hello, Here's my suggestion...don't know if you already have this DVD to lend but it would be a good investment for her even for keeps...but BASIC STEP AND BODY FUSION! I'm assuming that your SIL is not only overweight but is probably a beginner exerciser and needs to build up...

oh please oh please oh please. this would be a total treat as a new series. i would purchase a complete lean series program!

Also, the floor work using the ball etc. (ex. Pyramid Lower Body) does a fabulous job targeting the glute area. I swear by pelvic tucks etc for my glutes in addition to weight training legs with heavier weights. Even though there is really no additional resistance with exercises like these...

Laurie, Yes the trip was amazing. I am a speech pathology major specifically with a minor in special ed and kinesiology. 10 girls from my university went with a professor from my dept. it was fabulous...very very small island nation, no larger than a typical united states county...about 93...

Pinky, Thanks for the advice...I just have to keep reminding myself about the "numbers game" :P I will work on incorporating more endurance leg work into my routine...i've read alot about high rep low weight training as a good way to shape more than build muscle. In fact, I sometimes do...

Hi ladies, don't know if this little message thread is still rolling along but just wanted to introduce myself. I post once in awhile on the boards and just wanted to say hello! My name is Catie, I'm a 21 year old college student from NJ, but I go to school in VA. Home for summer...

Hi All, So excited, just had to share...purchased Kick Max and Muscle Max this morning...an email I got today said my DVDs will be delivered tomorrow!!! I can't wait to try them! I also have a quick question for those with knowledge/experience. I'm 21 years old, and quite fit. I consider...
