Hi everyone! I posted this in the "Ask Cathe" forum but I really hope for an answer so I thought I'd put it here too. ;) Yesterday I went to shop for a ladies suit (I hope it's the right term in English ;)) Often, the sleeves were too tight!!!! I think my arms are too bulky. I guess my arms...

Hi Cathe and Cathe nation! Yesterday I went to shop for a ladies suit (I hope it's the right term in English ;)) Often, the sleeves were too tight!!!! I think my arms are too bulky. I guess my arms are strong (I use 12-15 pounds for biceps) but they lack definition and with what I experienced...

Bump! I have a similar problem! I'm curious to know what Cathe or others have to say in answer to your question! Nathalie

Hi all! Yesterday, I did the Gauntlet for the second time. What a tough workout!!! I thought it was hard the first time I did it and I found it as hard the second time too, especialy for the lower body! Ouch, I'm still sore! ;) I'm not used to circuits: I usually do cardio first, then weights...

I didn't know about that! Thanks for the info. :) Nathalie

Maybe it's because I tried ASJ only once and I didn't get in the intensity because I was too busy learning the choreography. I was planning on trying it again though because I liked it. ;) And I do have to try Amy Bento and Seasun Zieger. They seem to be popular. If I know to expect complex...

I don't have anything to the right on the message box. Is there something I should "activate" in my profile? OK, just got it: I changed the "Edit" option from Basic to Enhanced and now, I have those Smileys! Hourrah! Nathalie :D

Hi all, I did the upper body premix from 4DS and even though I was working hard during the workout (sometimes I had problems finishing the last reps for some exercises), after the workout was over, I did not feel that I had a thorough workout as I do with GS or S&H. Am I doing something...

Hi Tami, Personally, I was a little disapointed by CTX. I did not find the cardio intense enough form my taste (I do step only) and I do not enjoy the strength portions as much as the other workouts that I have (like S&H, GS or MM). for me, it my not really worth th money. I think it depends...

Hi Kathryn, Yes, I does help. If I understand you correctly, a person who recouvers quickly (and has a lot of time!!!) could do full body workouts every 48 hours or so. Another question: how can I know if my muscles have recovered? I hardly ever get DOMS (even when I use S&H or the GS or when...

Hi, How can you put those smileys in. I can't seem to find how? Nathalie

I recently got Athletic Step Jam by Sharon Twombley. I understand that it is considered high intensity but I found out that it didn't match Cathe for intensity: next time, I think I will put a second riser under my step! (With Cathe, I get plenty of intensity with only one riser. The only...

Hi, What type of workout are you looking for? Core only or total body? Do you have any weights or which wieghts do you plan to get? There are a lot of possibilities depending on your goals and your fitness level weight wise. Muscle Max has a tough abs section and is a good total body weight...

Hi Cathe and Cathe Nation, I have a question about how often to workout with weights. From what I understand, the muscles need about 48 hours to restore thmeselves and be ready to workout again without depleating themselves. I know a lot of people like to do splits, working muscle groups 1-2...

Yes, it did the same thing to me. Nathalie

Hi, I live in Québec city in Canada and I would like to purchase a 30lbs non ajustable weighted vest. The only thing available in stores here are ajustable vests but they are very expensive. That is why I want to get a non ajustable one. Does anyone know if there are stores that carry this...

There are even people from Québec (the city not the province, no Paris-Match here!!!;)) Bienvenue sur les forums It's true that it would be great if translations were available. Nothing comparable to Cathe is available in French (only Josée Lavigueur and it's not the same intensity at all)...

What is clean eating by the way? I used to think that clean eating was close to vegeterian eating. Which is not my way of eating (not with 2 young sons, a spouse with a taste for traditionnal food - meat, potaotes, vegetables - and a love of chocolate chips cookies!!! But, as I was...

RE: Cardio vs. Weights? Full Body Weights vs. Isolated... >Laughingwater, or anyone else who knows, what EXACTLY is the >definition of "periodization?" All this time, I've never been >truly certain I really understand. Thanks. Very good question. I'm curious to know the answer...

RE: Cardio vs. Weights? Full Body Weights vs. Isolated... Hi, Quick question: do you do your cardio and weights on the same day? Also, you mentionned that you reat something on the net regardins periodizing cardio. Do you have the reference. I'd like to know more about that (even though...
