Okay, I'm sold. It sounds like "classic Cathe" that I'll need to add to my collection.

Interestingly, I found a huge difference in sizes between manufacturers. I had a GAIAM ball that was supposed to be 55 cm but seemed more like 75 cm. I couldn't figure out was wrong until I tried a 55 cm Theraband ball. The Theraband was true to size and better quality. The GAIAM ball seemed...

You should be able to get a lot of that with a well-balanced diet. Eat more fish. Grind up some flax seeds and add that to your food. Take a multivitamin. You have better uses for your money. And why try to complicate your life?

Here's a good vegan alternative: 125ml/4fl oz sweetened soy milk pinch of salt 100ml/3½fl oz sunflower oil 1 tsp white wine vinegar 1 garlic clove, crushed (optional) 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 25ml/1fl oz flax oil Method 1. Put the soy milk and salt in a saucepan and heat until hot...

"Toning" means losing body fat. There is no such thing as spot reduction. Make sure you eat clean and keep your calories in check.

I wouldn't bother. It's sounds gimmicky to me and probably expensive. Eat a sensible diet and you should be fine. Are you eating clean now? What are you trying to achieve? Even if you took this, you probably wouldn't notice a difference. There are no short cuts to fat loss. You have to...

RE: How Did You Learn all the Step and KickBox Routines... Thanks everyone. This is really great information and just the kind of advice I was looking for. I'm looking forward to the beginners' dvds!

At 43, I'm in the best shape of my life and I'm very active. I've been nursing a tibial stress fracture for the past few weeks, but it hasn't slowed me down. Sometimes I'll work out twice a day, but I don't do any activities that involve repetitive stress to my leg. I take my resting pulse...

Jennifit, You rock. That's exactly how I feel. Why are women so easily duped by ads, magazines, celebs and the whole fashion and beauty industry? We have so much more to offer the world than our bodies. Everyone...read "The Beauty Myth". It's a classic that every women should read. I...

Yes, mine holds five dvds. I'm just curious about the logistics of queuing them up.

Okay Everyone, I started Cathe's workouts a couple of weeks ago (Boot Camp/Muscle Endurance) which were fine. I did Drill Max but got a little lost on the stepping part because I haven't done step before. I've got Cathe's beginner dvds on the way. How did you learn the routines? Do you...

Kris, I am new to fitness dvds. How do you put together your own workouts that span dvds? Do you put all them in your player and then take little breaks while you cue up the next one in your set? Or is there some feature about my relatively new dvd player that makes it easier to cue them...

What is advancedworkoutsdvd.com? I can't even find the site on the internet. I must be doing something wrong or is the site down? Is it a less expensive source for dvds?

Cathe is my first experience with fitness videos, other than yoga/pilates, and I'm completely hooked. I'm an experienced exerciser and gymster, although I stopped going to the gym a year or so ago after I set up my own home "gym" (a set of dumbells, a bench, stretch bands, heavy bag, etc). I...

You should get thinner and lose body fat because you're burning more calories. Many beginning runners assume they're buring tons of calories, when they're really not, so they tend to eat more food than is justified (assuming you're trying to lose fat). Read this article and you'll see what I...

What's your diet like? What have you been doing to lose fat (assuming that you want to lose). Are you trying to lose fat as well?

Don't confuse weight losss with fat loss. It's fine to lift (heavy) and also burn calories with cardio. What you need is a way to measure your body fat percentage. That will help you determine if you're *really* losing fat. Scales are not a good way to measure fat loss. I measure my body...
