Maribeth, I was hoping to hear your opinion on this. Alicia

LAST EDITED ON Aug-23-02 AT 08:21PM (Est)[p]Yeah, that is why I thought it would be fine. I am not sure though. I thought I read somewhere that for maintenance once per week is good (of high intensity strength training), but if you want to improve you should do it 2x per week (again high...

Kaz and Cathe-- what do you think? Sounds good. Is it better to work each part once or twice a week? I guess if I wanted to work each part on a different day I could wait until I have some of her other stength/muscle endurance DVDs and just add that body part exercise to the scheduled day...

I was wondering the exact same thing. I also am trying to create a rotation in which I work each part thoroughly on a different day. I was not sure if working that part only once per weeek is enough though. Your rotation sound similar to what I am trying to create. Alicia

Runathon I know what you mean. I want them both, but I can't afford them plus Cathe tapes. I am still trying to decide which Cathe DVD to buy (and I do not even have a DVD player yet!). I am trying to figure out a way to get the Cathe DVD without my husband knowing. I just don't feel like...

I also want to buy a flexibility tape. I was thinking of Angles, Lines, and Curves by Kari Anderson (A continuous flexibility training and body contouring workout! Achieve the supple and graceful body you've always wanted with this challenging mix of muscle and strength work) and Angles, lines...

Yeah, I never thought they would be very intense short workouts. It may be very difficult for me to double up like that. I am just trying to save money at the moment and get a great rotation using one or two of her DVDs. I will look at the rotations greatest hits volume 1-4 to choose one...

Yeah, I changed my mind about this yesterday after reading a few posts. Thanks! Alicia

RE: Can I ask one more question......? Maribeth, 100 calories worth of carbs 20 minutes before a cardio and/or a strength training session?? I will do the juice thing 20 minutes before my cardio. Do the same thing before the resistance training workout? Alicia

RE: Okay - I am confused Maribeth, How and where did you learn all this about nutrition and fitness? You are my role model!!!! How can I learn all this? Go back to school? Read many books? Is this what you do for a living? Alicia

RE: Maribeth, I have a question!!! The food >doesn't have to have protein >at all, just a shot >of a carb to refuel >your engine. And it >doesn't take much--just enough to >provide the glucose you need >to spare muscle protein. You are amazing Maribeth!!!! Thanks for making me...

Cathe and friends, I may be nuts but I am having such a hard time deciding which DVD to buy first!!! I never owned a Cathe tape until now. I heard about you, Cathe, from Firm users, but I always stayed away from step tapes. The combos and advanced moves make it so confusing and I feel like I...

Yeah, I agree there is too much shoulder work with the firm. I am ready for a challenge. That is why I am going to try Cathe. Alicia

RE: To Bea Bea, Do you have a certain form you use? Is it saved on the computer? I would love to take a look at the form you use. Cool idea! Maybe I can make my own form and print it out and keep them all in a binder to chart my progress. Alicia

RE: Hi Julie! Great ideas!! I also keep track of the max weight I can do for each exercise tape I own that involve weights for sculpting. This also helps me keep everything near by while I am doing the tape to keep my heart rate up. Alicia

I myself am curious about the same thing. I still didn't buy a Cathe tape because I am still trying to decide which DVD to buy. I do want something a bit more "gym style" especially now that I am doing the BFL challenge. I think Firm tapes can strengthen mucles, but you may have to make...

Last post made me want to ask this question. What is the minimum # of protein grams we need to have muscles recover from workouts? Sometimes I hear that you should go by your body weight, but shouldn't we use our lean body weight not out total weight(because it includes pounds of fat). I...

RE: how do I figure out my goal weight? (long) I have a book called Protein Power and it helped give me a range to figure out my REALISTIC ideal body weight. Calculate your lean body weight (using monitor, caliper, mathematical formula down below, etc). Find your ideal body fat range for your...

RE: H Alicia! I do want them all. The money is the problem. I do not have a DVD player, but will buy one after I receive the DVDs. I may have to get one at a time. I am thinking of S&H. I made a list in the order I want them but it may change: 1. S&H 2. Pure Strength 3. Power Hour DVD 4...

I have a bunch of firm tapes (probably about 22 or so) and I always heard that many firm tape users also use Cathe tapes. I am going to finally buy a Cathe tape. After many years of hearing about her tapes, I am going to finally purchase some. I guess the reason I never bought one of her...
