I just purchased this kickbox dvd and it's great for a beginner like me. It seems to me that the dvd isn't chaptered correctly (if at all), so it's difficult to determine where the workouts actually begin (vs. the warm up, etc). There doesn't seem to be a top menu to choose the chapters. Has...

Cheers, I'll do that.

Can your therapist refer you to a dietitian or a healthcare profressional who is experienced with eating disorders? They may be able to help you put together a nutrition/exercise plan, beyond what a magazine or the internet can provide. Have you seen www.somethingfishy.org for additional...

I've seen a few posts here recently about a spreadsheet with all of Cathe's workouts broken down. Is there an updated copy available somewhere? If so, please let me know. I could probably post it out on the web somewhere so that everyone could access it. Cheers.

Amy, I'm new to Kickboxing and I got PowerStrike with Ilaria Montagnani and Kathy Smith's Cardio Knockout from Collage. These are both excellent beginner workouts and a great lead into Cathe's more advanced workouts.

Look through the list of rotations. Find one that emphasizes fat loss and with, maybe, some muscle endurance. But you've said your emphasize is on fat loss, so focus on that for now. Look at the rotation "generically" to see how it's constructed. For example, references to step or...

Personally, that's why I love circuit training. You get a great cardio work out and the benefits of weights. Try something like Cathe's Bootcamp -- it's terrific. It definitely works me harder than step work outs. I also train with heavy weights as well to build strength. And I also do...

Nothing helps with cellulite except losing fat. I have this roller, it's excellent. I use the roller for Pilates: http://exercise.about.com/od/equipmentapparel/gr/fitballroller.htm

Personally, I use flax seed (ground up and put in food) to get my Omega 3s. I know Udo's Choice also has Omega 6s, but you already get enough of those in other food. Flax seed is more economical than the oil and you can add it to all sorts of food. It has to be refrigerated and then ground...

You actually have to go into a calorie surplus to gain muscle. Obviously with fat loss, you'll have to have a calorie deficit. Using weights while losing fat is to maintain whatever muscle mass you currently have, not to gain muscle. (I have the BFFM book as well). So do the weight...

You have to lose body fat to have muscles show. Any idea what your body fat percentage is?

My blood pressure runs low as well. That's a good thing though, because lower blood pressure is highly positively correlated with longevity, even more so than a low pulse rate. Yes, get more starchy carbs (brown rice, grains, yams, etc.) and also make sure you are well hydrated. We have the...

Anything with stairs is going to be harder on your knees. Elliptical is much lower impact.

Theraband. Best quality. Nice and thick.

Personally, I get a better cardio workout with the elliptical than with any of Cathe's dvds, except maybe the circuit ones. You could easily substitute the elliptical for any of Cathe's kickboxing or stepping workouts and have a better cardio and fat loss effect. I find my heart rate gets much...
