Hi fitover40, What about straddle taps? I can do them on 4 inches but that took time. It was one of the things I could do after doing Insanity. However, I'm tapping much slower than the "fit five" for sure. Cedie and Cathe do them so effortlessly and appear to be having fun. I'm very...

Hi Jengollf, Are there any moves that you DO have problems doing?

I just came across this web interview Cathe did that appears to be from a few months back (prior to most recent road trips). Maybe it's already floated around the forum and I am again, late to the party. My time on the forum ebbs and flows so I try to soak in as much as I can while the...

Hi NinjaMom, Do you have the link to the webcast? Thanks, Fitness Friend, Teals

I like your style, Nathalie. The only thing I'll say about the pre-highjacked version of this thread is for everyone to keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge someones tone in online writing. No matter how it's intended its still filtered through how our "head" hears it since there are no...

Hi. I know I'm late to chime in on this but I am still a fan of the original Firm workouts (the Anna Benson years). The floor work is a bit dated and although I liked the high step part of volume 3, it's probably my least favorite (although I liked Sandal Bergman as a dancer). Volume 2, 4, 6...

I use Asics as well. The ones I have are called "trainers", which I took to mean a cross training shoe. I used to use NB but they left me wanting. I only use my Asics for indoor workouts. I use the NBs for outdoor use which is basically leisurely walks around town, etc. Shaun T posted...

Hi! Here is the thread and response from Cathe regarding the shoes she used: http://cathe.com/forum/threads/shoe-recommended-for-new-workouts.297527/#post-2259929 HTH, Fitness Friend, Teals

I'm scared now.

Hi, Will this workout be interchangeable with STS Plyo Legs if STS veterans want to add some variety to the program? Also, thanks you for clarifying (in a different post) the difference between this type of training and CLB in XTrain. I thought they were interchangeable but seeing the two...

who is Mary? I've been gone and off the grid for a few months. I hadn't heard about Collage being back. It appears I'm late to the reunion and it's a dud. I didn't have time today to look around the new site. I was hoping it was just as buyer friendly as the other one. Will one of you...

I was looking for one of Cathe's live clips on youtube yesterday and came across something referring to Collage Video. I accidentally subscribed to it and today they sent an email about their new website. I went to it and it's back! One cool thing is that the rotating banner. It first shows...

Just bumping these gems back to the first page.

You already have great advice here so this is just my chime in. It's a bit off topic of what you were asking about but it might help. I personally found that having a protein drink within 30 minutes of a Cathe burn fest helps to lessen next day DOMs. If I do a tough circuit workout or do cardio...

Looking good Mariposa! How are you enjoying the workouts?

Hi bzbnmom, Here is the link to what I posted a few days ago: http://cathe.com/forum/f104/1-rep-max-made-easy-er-295195/ The 1RM are categorized by body part. This will make doing them a breeze. You can do one body part a day or push pull, etc. It may help with the dread factor. Seeing...

This is a quote from page 104 in the STS Guide regarding the star ratings: "Five stars means that it is highly recommended that you establish a 1RM, while one star indicates an exercise that is not as essential to establish a 1RM." Another thing you should know is that according to SNM the...

Here's Part 2 Here you go. Now work! work! -Teals

I didn't create this sheet. I found it on another fitness forum I happened upon. It was made back in 2009. Someone asked her for it recently so she posted a link to it. It has the 1RM tests categorized by body part. I think it makes the process seem much more user friendly with no dread factor...

Hi Ela, You're very welcome. We're all in this together! -Teals
