    Leg Workout comaprisons

    I agree with Elena, B&G is a must have. It is one of my favorites and targets the butt really well. I also love the ab work in this one too. If you buy the DVD, you get a bonus Stability Ball Ab workout, which is awesome too...but the abs in the actual B&G workout is phenomenal! Xtrain...

    Which is tougher, B&G or L&G?

    I agree with everyone else, B&G is harder....Legs & Glutes is still fun though. Do you have Leaner Legs? Now that is a toughy!!

    Leg Workout comaprisons

    Xtrain Legs is nothing like Meso 2...I wouldn't say it's like Meso 1 either, except for maybe the bonuses at the end of Meso 1. I sort of think that is is closer to Butts & Guts, but different (if that makes sense). Xtrain Legs is not a heavy strength workout, it is low weights/high reps...

    Vitamix

    I just got one for Christmas...I love it!!!! I have 4 children and it can be challenging to get them to eat their veggies. This has helped out tremendously. Also, if I make more than they can eat, I put them into freezer pop holder and make popcicles. They love it!! Every smoothie comes...

    Xtrain Legs - Hardcore Sculpting

    I know there is another Legs thread, but I just wanted to give a quick review. I am on day 5 of the undulating rotation so I did Legs plus rear delts. This workout flew by and Cathe keeps you moving. She hits every angle of your legs and glutes and don't be surprised if your legs are still...

    Xtrain Bi's & Tri's + 100RC Tricep Extensions

    I did this one this morning as well. My arms are still shaking. I added the bicep 100 rep challenge, I totally chose the wrong weight, should've gone heavier...I basically did 100 reps straight through with a 15# barbell. I knew that once Cathe said that Marlo was curling 25# that I was not...

    Hard Strikes Review

    Just finished this one....major FUN FACTOR for me, smiling the whole time. Definitely steady state for the most part, I love all of the jacks and jump ropes to keep the heart rate up. It's a quick cardio section if you need a quick workout. The conditioning drills are a nice finish with core...

    Xtrain -Ride

    Quick review because I have to run to my son's basketball tournament. Overall great ride, definitely different from CycleMax. As intense, if not more....but I believe spinning is only as intense as you make it! I loved the variety, the counter is awesome - definitely made me push harder, the...

    New Year, New Workouts, maybe a new Cathe Challenge?

    I understand that the release date is still unknown for Xtrain.....but I am getting excited and working on new goals for 2013, which will involve the Xtrain rotation. I have loved your challenges in the past and it would be cool to have one that involves Xtrain. Maybe a de"CATHE"lon...hee hee...

    Running + Cathe rotations -- how to do both?

    What kind of training did you do prior to completing your 5K? I ask this only because it would help me to give you an idea of what your next steps should be. Are you looking to stick with 5Ks or do want to focus on getting faster and then working on distance? You can easily do Cathe and...

    Cathe HELP I think iam over doing it!!! don't know what to do!!

    OK, first you need to know, you will not gain weight if you don't burn over 800 calories...and Nathalie is right, you need to eat at least 1200 calories. If you are overdoing it, it can actually hurt your weight lose goals. Your metabolism will slow down and you are starving your muscles. You...

    Cathe HELP I think iam over doing it!!! don't know what to do!!

    So, clearly I am not Cathe, but I feel compelled to help as best as possible. I think a lot of people get into this groove of overdoing it with their workouts and they are afraid to scale back or that they have to top their last workout and do more to get results. A least that's what I think...

    Compression running socks

    Yes, I wear them sometimes. They do feel nice and my calves don't get too tight when I wear them. From my experience, you don't need super expensive socks....you can find a decent pair for $20. They are all pretty much do the same thing...no need for $40 socks,
