I have some friends who moved from Atlanta to Oyster Bay. The sticker shock of property value and all the taxes was insane. (They now live in Miami.) There is definitely an East Coast vs West Coast mindset. We don’t have that so much here, even though it is technically West. People here remind...

Check in: Just finished Gym Style Back, Shoulders and Biceps. Gold star for lifting heavier than Cathe... on some of the exercises. ;) I feel 100 times better. Enough to hit the treadmill. (Maybe)

Colorado is amazing but the real estate is “California” expensive. Stay put and complain about the winters. ;) Everyone else does. (My husband is from RI and my brother-in-law is from Binghamton, NY. I have a sister-in-law in MA. My best friend is from Philly. I’m familiar with the crappy...

Mornin’! Yesterday was the first day of school annnnnd everyone in the house has a cold. We also had an unexpected trip to the pediatrician for vaccinations, etc and I ended up in the car for 2.5 hours. I almost had a panic attack yesterday (for real) and had to take it slowwwww. So the workout...

It’s super dry here so the heat is not as hot and the cold is not as cold. The snow is also all powder, not sloppy and heavy like everywhere else. Even if it snows several inches, all I have to do to clear it off my car is run my wipers and drive around the block. It just blows right off. And it...

We moved to CO from VA (where we had lived for about 3.5 years). I’m originally from NC. We LOVE Colorado. The weather is amazing.

Ceci — Girl, you’re up EARLY! I came here to post thinking I would be the only one up. You beat me! ;) We are in Colorado. School starts early. But it also gets out early — Memorial Day Weekend. I’ve never been in a state where this was the case. I think it might have to do with the snow and the...

Love this thread! Echo what everyone else has said. I am in a similar place (without health problems, though.) You can do it, young lady! GO GET EM!

I think this is too much weight training. Your muscles need time to recover. MW&F target arms, back and legs (I’m doing Gym Style this month). T&R do cardio with no weights. This can be LISS or HIIT. Saturday can be total body (Muscle Max or similar is what I’m doing ) or a good metabolic total...

Today was supposed to be GymStyle Chest and Triceps. But then I started mowing the backyard and couldn’t stop. Three-and-a-half hours later and the entire backyard has been relandscaped. (In my defense, it’s been on the to do list since Spring.) Some days you just have to roll with it. Arms...

PS Oh, and today was Gym Style Legs (Timesaver #2, 49 mins or so). I sweated like a damn hawg. But it is now in the books. I did pretty well. I know the more I do the workouts, the easier they will get, so I’m not too worried about perfect reps or trying to match Cathe’s working weight. Just...

Well, now that I’ve been called out ;) ... Wave Hey y’all. I’m Anita, 42, mom of four (two boys, two girls), former Cathlete (pre-babies), SAHM, gettin my butt back in gear after years of stress and flailing around. My oldest two kids (11 and 9) have Autism, I have a 7-year old, and my youngest...

It does! On the fly, if I were an aerobics leader, I would call out wonky left and right all the time. Makes sense that she would have a visual cue to remind her. I still like to think it’s for “hair emergencies”, though. ;) Let me have my illusions? LOL

When I started working out with Cathe at home, I noticed she almost always wore a black elastic hair tie on her left wrist. Back when I had long hair and I noticed this, it made me smile. I was never without an extra hair tie, always around my wrist, always black. Even in some more recent...

Every fifth week I give myself a week off. A “week off” means: Light compound weight exercise Walking or hiking with my dog Swimming for fun Painting my dining room/laundry room/kitchen cabinets Lots of gardening I’m still moving every day, but I’m letting my muscles rebuild and mostly rest...

And who’s going to count for us if we don’t have Cedie, y’all?

This reminds me of another video of Cathe’s I used to do: I wanna’ say it was IMAX2 (but I could totally be making that up). There were flying angels and crazy stuff like that in it, whatever it was. I must have rewound that DANG THING 15 times. But once I got it? Ohmygosh — so thrilled, so...

Went to the gym, checked my toddler in to child care, got all my gear ready for Gym Style Legs... and then pffft. It’s the day before my period starts and I felt it. I knew if I tried to do legs, I’d end up crying and burned out. So Leg Day is tomorrow instead! (Currently typing from my bed.)

UPDATE: Been doing the GymStyle series (weight training) videos for almost a week now. It’s running perfectly smooth. Best idea I’ve ever had. One thing I am doing extra: I preview the workout and jot down the exercise chapter names and the weight Cathe used, the weight I use, and my...
