    Kelly Coffey-Meyer - anybody preorder new ones?

    I ordered. I enjoy her videos for a change of pace. I found her weight workouts to not be very effective if I used her weights. When I went up in weight (sometimes having to slow the speed), it was much better. I probably do each workout (of the current 4) about once a month. They are...

    Need my time with Cathe!!

    "He thinks when he's home I should focus on him" What does this mean exactly? I know every marriage is different, but I would think he would respect your right and obligation to keep yourself healthy, if for no other reason but to focus on him for many more years. I start my workout at 5...

    Healthy lunches for kids

    My 1st grader's lunch every day this year has been half a turkey breast sandwich on whole wheat, celery, a pickle, gogurt and milk. She wants the same thing every day. Her snack is fruit, veggies or a granola bar.

    For those of you who don't yet look buff...

    Certain body shapes will never look thin. I always go back to the fact that my BMI is within normal range (barely), I always get a clean bill of health from the doctor and the research I've read shows that being fit, yet slightly overweight, is healthier than not being overweight, yet not fit...

    Kimberly Spreen's Absolute Kickbox

    Just did this today for probably the 5th time. I completely agree with others about using the 9 lb. bar, which is what I have. Even if your shoulders could handle more, there is so much twisting and torque that I worry I would hurt my back with something heavier. I leave the shoulder work to...

    Minnesota Roll Call

    I live in the SW suburbs. I'm on that bridge maybe 6 times a year. One of those times was 3 hours before it collapsed. Makes you think...

    How do you plan to rotate Cathe's new workouts?

    I'll have to add at least one day of interval training (CC or IMAXs), as I don't see that in the description for any of the new ones. On the 6th day I would do full body weights or circuit.

    Amy Bento ~ HLX

    After doing HLX twice, I just ordered KBX and APX. I like HLX a lot because I'm a fan of Hi/Lo--really burnt out on step right now--and I find the choreography doable but not dull. I like the music and burn a lot of calories in a little time.

    OT - what to wear to a Broadway play

    Yeah, I went for my birthday about 2 weeks ago (I live in Minnesota). I felt guilty for *only* wearing a jacket, sweater and wool pants. Then when I got there I felt stupid and completely amazed that there were people there in sweat pants or jeans and a sweatshirt. I must be old...

    Bosu on sale online

    I just started using a BOSU about 3 weeks ago. The Seasun workout mentioned on CIA's Double Cardio is great and a real butt-kicker. BOSU really kicks the heart rate up with lower impact. I bought Rob Glick's BOSU workout as it had good reviews on Collage (Gay Gaspar and Chalene Johnson are...

    Those of us 40+...

    Thanks for this timely thread. I will be 40 in 9 days. Marie essentially wrote my response, as well as parts of others. My belly tries to hang on to fat more and I could exercise 4 hours a day for nothing if I don't watch what I eat. It's all about staying away from refined carbohydrates for...

    Your First Work out of the New Year???

    I was so inspired by the January picture on the calendar, I had to do Kick Max. It was never one of my favorites when it came out and I think I have only done it as produced 2-3 times now. What was I thinking? I really loved it today and torched 450 calories. Happy new year, everyone!

    New Calendar is GREAT!!!

    I think it just coincides with the busiest time of the year for the postal service-we didn't get our mail yesterday until after 6 pm and it usually arrives between 2 and 3pm. I haven't received my calendar in Minnesota yet, but I can't remember if I ordered on the first or second day they had...

    Calendar

    The calendar section off the home page says they will be ready to order once they are in stock, probably between the 10th and 15th. I'm sure when they have them, there will be a link attached to order.

    BM2 scrambled eggs!!!

    Totally and completely kicked my butt yesterday. You're right, a nap would have been very nice. Today I did the double upper body premix and that one is a toughie too!

    LIC 6 inch step

    Use what works for you! I worked out with Cathe for over a year before it occured to me to go to 8 inches! I was having trouble keeping my heart rate up, so thought I'd try it, and it was exactly what I needed to make me feel like when I just started with Cathe. I do use 6 inches for the...
