I use Linux, so I know what it's like trying to find software in a Windoze-dominated world. I usually use something web-based like www.fitday.com. It's free, easy to use and you can add your own foods. I also use www.recipezaar.com (an awesome recipe site!!) to determine the nutritional...

I mean, is there anything in them that you can't get from the newer releases? I'm building my Cathe collection, but I'm not sure I'd want to buy it if it's been "superseded" but newer workouts. And what about Pure Strength? Same thing?

This may overwhelm you, but here's everything you need to know about heart rates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate The bottom line to calculating your target zone (using the karvonen method of calcuation, which is better than something "age" based) is to know your resting heart...

This is a really interesting thread. There was a thread in a forum on one of the rock climbing sites where women were wishing they were A cups! The bigger-breasted women were finding their larger size was interfering with their climbing. I think it would be harder for me to play sports with...

I was thinking the same thing as well. It's a great idea. Plyos are really tough and it would be a great, challenging workout.

I am new to Cathe and am concentrating on the weight and cardio workouts. I'm basically using it as crosstraining for all my other sports (boxing, running, rock climbing, mountain biking, etc.). I have several of the dvds now and I'd say Boot Camp/Muscle Endurance is my favourite.

I bought mine online at http://www.bosu.com/ because they had the best online price.

There are hundreds of questionable certifications around. You are better off getting something that is ACCREDITED. Read below for more information: **************************************************************** NCCA is the third-party accreditation body for personal training...

The F6 calculates calories during a work out as well. It also comes in a smaller womens size (the wrist band is smaller) and the watch is by no means huge. I looked at the OwnZone feature when I first got my F6 and decided it was just a pointless gimmick. I think it just sort of...

As a cheaper option, go to a local home improvement store and pick up some foam you use to wrap copper pipe.

You will love it, just keep at it. You can use JumpStretch bands to provide assistance when doing pull ups. You may need to use them for a while until you build up your strength. This is an excellent article: http://www.dragondoor.com/articler/mode3/226/

The women's version is especially good: http://www.polarusa.com/products/fseries/f6.asp . I always have a problem with wrist bands being too big. Buy from an authorized dealer. You can usually get good deals online, especially with free shipping. Look up the websites for these...

Is there a check in for us outdoorsy types? I like Cathe's workouts, but they're only one of my many activities. I use them mainly for conditioning for other sports. Where are the hikers, rock climbers, mountain bikers, backpackers, inline skaters, soccer and Ultimate frisbee players? I'd...

I glass of chocolate milk is all you need to get the correct protein/carb ratio and restore your muscles' glycogen levels if you've had a hard workout. -Lucinda

I have to recommend this bar: http://www.pullupbar.com/ . It's expensive, but worth it. Fits easily into any doorway with minimal assembly. Really sturdy. Allows different grips. I use mine a lot. -Lucinda

This is a serious topic. Not *everyone* who is dedicated to fitness is OCD. I think we have to evaluate our motives to determine that. See the information here at this excellent site on eating disorders: http://www.somethingfishy.org/whatarethey/exercise.php . Compulsive exercising is...

Excellent. I have Boot Camp...my first Cathe workout and I loved it. Looking forward to doing ME tomorrow morning. I have Drill Max as well. A boxing workout...too cool. I hope it's something close to real boxing. That would be too much fun. I've signed up for the Cathe e-mail...

Hello Everyone! I'm new to Cathe's workouts and just finished Boot Camp, my first Cathe workout, which I absolutely loved. I like circuit and interval training and am used to pumping a lot of heavy iron. I'm trying to build my muscular endurance, so I'm looking forward to the Muscle...
