    Favorite rotation ever?

    Rock Bottoms - definitely saw amazing results with this rotation. It was the hardest one I've ever done though. My husband gave me a congratulations card after I finished it!

    I HATE STEP!!!

    Don't give up! Getting down Cathe's step routines is really worth it because they are so much fun. One of the things that really helps me with step routines is counting (usually to 8) with every move. You've already had dance training, so I'm sure you know all about that. But it really...

    Artificial Sweetner of any kind....

    I also just use Stevia because I thought its natural. I cut out splenda/equal etc and would never go near anything with maltodextrin. I thought Stevia was a good substitute. I'm so confused.

    I got hubby to workout with me!

    Studies shows that couples who workout out together stand much chance to stay together :p:o. Nathalie - I agree with this. My husband & I have always been best friends, but I have noticed that since working out together, our relationship has... deepened? Maybe that's not quite the word, but...

    I got hubby to workout with me!

    So I'm really excited about this. After 6 years of trying to get my husband to lift weights, he finally started. Over those past 6 years, I tried to reason with him on all the benefits of strength training and tried to show by example how much I enjoy it. But he was never interested. One...

    Clean Eating and Carbohydrates

    Hi ASand! I haven't actually finished reading the book - I'm about 3/4 through it. So far a lot of what I read I knew to a limited extent, but its nice to have it consolidated into one book and explained in a reasonable way. I also find his encouragement very helpful and motivating. It...

    Clean Eating and Carbohydrates

    Right now I'm reading a book by Tom Venuto called Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. He makes the point that our bodies need carbohydrates to support/fuel our active training routines. It all depends on the type of carbohydrates you choose. He says in the book that he used a ratio of 50% carbs...

    Input please on Lucilene capris - FFW

    Thanks for the input! I took the plunge and bought the lucilene capris plus the ana sports bra and the gold braid tank. Hopefully everything will fit ok and it will have been worth it to spend that much money on workout clothes. This is something I would not normally spend my money on!!

    Input please on Lucilene capris - FFW

    Hi everyone - so I'm getting a little bonus this year from work and I thought I'd finally buy myself something from Feelfitwear. I've always liked the look of the Lucilene capris. There are three reviews on their website - all positive. If anyone out there has bought these capris could you...

    Why do you overeat?

    Stress!!! Using food to drown out negative emotions. Not sure if that makes sense, but that's the only way I know how to describe it.

    Surprised when reading dvd reviews

    I honestly avoid a certain fitness forum because I found there was a lot of unwarranted "Cathe-bashing" on it. I don't need such negativity in my day. Cathe produces amazing workouts - from the quality of the production, the crew, the pre-mixes, added bonuses, triple tracks, music, variety...

    Party Rockin Step 1 - Cathe is brilliant!

    This was the first dvd I reached for having received my dvds today. I LOVE IT!!! I'm glad I previewed it first cause its tricky in some spots. But it reminded me of when I first started working out with Cathe and how much I enjoyed the challenge if learning a new dvd. The music is awesome -...

    Got my dvds in Canada today!

    Super excited that my dvds came today. I'm in Montreal. I had to pay customs though, which is the first time I've ever had to do that. Oh well I'm just happy to have them and get in on the fun!

    I thought you should know....

    Dear Cathe, I too want to send you my condolences on the loss of your father. You bring so much light to our lives so it breaks our hearts to think of the pain you and your family must be going through right now. I hope you will find all the comfort & strength you need at this terrible...

    I love Cathe`s hair in Butts & Guts. :)

    I am not obsessed. I enjoy it!

    Sounds like you have a balanced view of working out - stopping when your body tells you to. I see nothing wrong with your schedule. If that's what you want to do with your time and you love it, then who cares what other people think? Are you supposed to become a couch potato just to make...

    FlexTrain

    You're right Nathalie - I didn't know about that premix on the Pyramid disk. I'm adding that one too. I think I'll do it on Saturday and let you know what I thought of it. Thanks!
