I don't like burpees either. I can't do them anywhere near as quickly as Cathe and the crew. Sometimes I have my legs spread at the bottom of the move to make it easier to get up.

Hi Jengolf Hi Jengolf, My question was serious so thanks for your reply. I just saw it today. Sorry for the delay in responding. Do you ever feel the plates or screws when you jump? We are supposed to land toe-ball-heel anyway so I guess if you land right you shouldn't have any issues, huh...

Hi Renee, I remembered seeing this article in Cathe's blog called: "Does Menopause Cause Weight Gain? Find Out What New Research Shows About Menopause and Body Composition" Here's the link...

Hi NYYFAN, If you sign on to the Workout Manager, you will see a button for nutrition. Click it and you will be taken to the Nutrition Manager (I don't know the exact name) home page.. It's not free but seems reasonable for what you get. You can check out the demo to see if the features appeal...

Hi NYYFAN, I've pasted in the link for the Shop Cathe page that has the bands. I haven't done X-Train in a while. I I don't remember if Cathe used the blue band for "firewalkers" or the long band for upper body work or the resistance tube (the one with the handles). All the bands are on the...

Hi. This seems to be a common problem. I got mine on Amazon. The review section has numerous complaints about the DVDs not working. Initially, I thought it may have had to do with the regional coding like maybe Amazon got the wrong supply but then I saw that some Walmart purchasers were having...

I thought it would feel constricting since sleeves usually don't extend to the hands like that. Did you have to get used to wearing tops like that? It appears that the consensus is that they are good for warmth so I thinking about getting one. It doesn't get so cold here in Southern Cal...

Thanks MominVT! I went to the link but they don't have it in my size. Bummer. Have you tried any of their products? They have good deals it appears but I'm wondering about the quality and how it feels to wear the outfits. What part of Vermont are you in. I was in northern VT last month. I'll...

Hi Nathalie, Do you know the specific brand of the outfits you sent the link to? I want to see if the brand is sold here in the States. It looks like the store doesn't have a present in the States. Also, do you know if the sizes are the same, i.e., is a US 14 the same there or a size bigger or...

What percentage of our 1 RM do you recommend to get the most out of the weight work? I'm thinking 70 to 75.

Its up a ways in this thread so I'm re-posting it here so everyone that wishes to can easily find it. It's audio only. Enjoy! For people just coming in, this is a different interview than the one I posted at top of this thread. It is the same as the one Nathalie posted somewhere in the middle...

OH. That makes sense. So generally speaking, as long as the weight load is the same we can use dumbells (single or double) or even a barbell interchangeably?

Yabba Dabba Doo!!! Love the updates. Starting to get a little obsessed with checking the forum. The updates have been great and so much fun to see all of the pictures. Thanks for all the hard work. And a big thanks to Chris and the other behind the scenes unsung heroes helping to get the job...

Hi Renee, I hope you had a chance to listen to the audio interview that Cathe did a few years ago (whatever year she was inducted into the fitness hall of fame). THAT ONE was really interesting. She talks about how she and Chris finally got the company off the ground since distributors didn't...

You're welcome! Hey, what are "KFTHWI" and Tapatalk?

I've often wondered about that myself. It seems like 2 dumbells would be more difficult since one side may be weaker than the other and the issue of having to keep them both under control comes into play. On the other hand, the heavier weight seems like it should compensate in terms of strength...

Thanks NinjaMom! Great information.

You are all very welcome. I never knew Cathe was doing these interviews. I wish it was practical for her to do a live Q&A webcast with the Cathletes but there are too many of us. I think the server would crash and she'd have too many questions to get to. Still, if they could work it out, I'd...

Thanks Nathalie, I'll check it out. -Teals

Hi Lisa, You can't go wrong with those. I don't know about Calorie Explosion but I'm sure it will fit well with your choices. You got a workout for 5 bucks? The original 6 workouts were $49 each plus tax and shipping. It seems outrageous for one workout now but back then I didn't hesitate to...
