Cathe, I responsed to this yesterday, but thought of a couple of more points. When I'm ready to workout on weekday mornings, at 5 AM ET, FitTV has paid programming on. Their regular programming does not start until 6 AM ET. So, my request would be to start it at least an hour earlier...

Cathe, Before I answer, I just want to say, thanks for helping me get into the best shape of my life, and, I can't wait for the new DVDs! Now, for my responses: 1) During the week, I work out mornings, 5am-6am. On Saturdays and Sundays, I usually work out in the afternoon; the time...

Kim, Actually, I posted just a few minutes before you. To keep it in one thread, here's what I posted: Hey everyone, I thought I'd start this today. First, thank you all for your congrats for Michael. Today is the day he will be interviewed by the people judging the projects. Then...

Hey everyone, I thought I'd start this today. First, thank you all for your congrats for Michael. Today is the day he will be interviewed by the people judging the projects. Then, tonight, we'll get to go view all of the projects that were selected for the judging. I did a light...

Kathryn, Thanks. I don't know if I'm going to get anything, but I appreciate the input. If I got SS, I don't know if would do all of them in a rotation, although I guess that would be most effective. I guess I could just plan to get them both, not both now, but over time. It sounds...

Does anyone out here have both of these, such that you can offer a comparison? I realize that they're probably completely different, and I probably shouldn't even be thinking of spending the money, but, if I was going to buy one or the other, does anyone have an opinion as to which would be...

Hey everyone, This may be a rest day for me. I haven't taken one since Friday before last, but then again, until this weekend my workouts were pretty light weight (although effective!). I did the hi-lo from Christi Taylor's 5004 yesterday--Sabine, you're right, it wasn't so manic when doing...

Actually, there are some that are supposed to help. Shiseido makes one (Body Creator) that's pretty expensive, but Neutragena (I know I spelled that wrong) also has one, as does Avon, and I've even seen one by Loreal. One of the key ingredients is caffeine, of all things. Shape has an article...

Hello eveyone! Guess what, no pilates today! I did do the warmup and the first combo of Rhythmic Step. I love that workout! I haven't done it since around Thanksgiving, and was pleasantly surprised that I did pretty well with the choreography. I goofed a few times, but was able to keep...

Lori, Good luck! It will all be over tomorrow!

Tracy, I just saw your question about the high step. I got one for Christmas and like it a lot. I have the Original Step also, and previously had only four risers for it. I like being able to use the risers from the high step to raise up the Original Step for weight work (so that it's high...

Good morning all, Shywolf,you are killing me talking about fresh baked bread with butter and honey. That sounds great. Last weekend, I made waffles. I made one plain for my son Michael, one with chocolate chips for Nicholas, and just had enough batter left for half a waffle with blueberries...

RE: about the infomercial..... Debra, I have the original Winsor Pilates set. With it comes suggestions for using the tapes for weight loss, muscle toning and maintenance. Along with that, however, she also recommends 30-60 minutes of cardio 5 or 6 days a week, which is not discussed on...

Hey eveyone, I did The Method Target Specifics this morning--a good blend of pilates, ballet and yoga. I felt great when I was done. I know I said the other day I'd do the Firm to get back into weights, but I'm thinking about doing Push Pull one day this weekend, and a short cardio the...

Hey everyone, Last night I went home and worked out for 50 minutes: all Jennifer Kries, 30 minutes of modern dance type moves, ballet and yoga, and another 20 of more yoga. The minimal (compared to Cathe's cardio) movement in the first 30 minutes was enough to get me coughing. Will this...

I was thinking about it also. I've been doing just pilates and yoga for several weeks now because of a bad bout of bronchitis that I can't seem to fully get over. I have to say that Cathe's ab work really improved my pilates, but I think my abs are close to the flattest they've ever been now...

Good morning, I got up at 5 this morning, and did a 20 minute Pilates upper body weight routine from Jennifer Kries (Pinky, I forgot about that when I was talking to you about Pilates and upper body work), and then a 25 minute Pilates for Abs. I did Baron Baptiste's (I've been spelling his...

Hey everyone, I promised Pinky to copy a rotation I had seen incorporating Pilates. It's from a thread on the Ask Cathe forum, "Help, my belly fat is discouring me." It also throws in some yoga. Anyway, I thought that if some of the rest of you hadn't seen it, you might be interested also...

Good afternoon, all! Wow, Lorihart, I can't imagine 30 kids at a party! I'd be scarred too! I just have boys, and so far I've gotten away with small parties (usually no more than 7 children, actually, usually fewer), at Chuckie Cheese, the movies, or more recently, Laser Tag. Hopefully, I...

Hello all! I'm back from my trip, and I think I'm starting to finally get over my cough. Elizabeth, I know you asked about Michael yesterday. He's doing well today, but spent a day throwing up while I was gone! I didn't find out until that evening, and thought about coming home the next...
