I had an appointment with my doctor today. Long story short, I've been suffering from several skin conditions (contact dermatitis, urticaria, heat rash, post exercise rash, etc.), GI problems, split corner of the mouth that heals and then comes back, and on and on for the past few months. I've...

Hi. I've been doing Tonique about 3 times per week (out of 6-7 workouts per week) for almost three weeks. I planned out a 3 month rotation with Cathe, Tonique, Jari Love, and other instructors for variety. I have to say I've gotten pretty decent results so far. I need to lose a couple of...

I totally agree with you Nathalie.:) Hiit can actually help build muscle, think squat jumps and other lower body plyometric movements, but it should not be the workout to start when somebody doesn't have enough muscle. One should definitely have a certain amount of muscle mass to attempt and...

I agree with Hiit as a cardio option as well, as long as it is a 30 min or less workout and has lots of explosive lower body movements as opposed to a lot of planks, burpees, etc. Cathe's Hiit DVD is perfect for that, 40/20 being my fave from that DVD. Another important point when it comes to...

Hi Aly. Before you start any new exercise plan to achieve a specific goal you should start with realistic expectations. While you can certainly gain lower body mass and get bigger buttocks and thighs, genetics also play a huge role on how much muscle you can build. If you are naturally...

Travel fit is a great suggestion. It is such a great workout and so underrated. The 100 rep challenges are not for everybody, but they do work. You don't have to do them for months, but if you are up for it, maybe do them for 2-3 weeks and see if you improve. When I was getting PT years ago...

Thank you for that great suggestion. I do not own FF yet, but as soon as I can master my other Tonique workouts it will be the next one I'm going to get. That 2 hr phase is simply not for me, but doing the first 30 mins on one leg then rewinding and doing them again on the other leg sounds...

My gynecologist gave me this exact response when I asked her last year. I thought that the age when you got your first period was the predictor, but it is genetics. If you are trying to conceive it's time to visit your doctor asap. And if it is in fact perimenopause, your doctor can also help...

Hi! I love Cardio and Weights, but it is not an easy workout. Maybe you need to start with something in the lines of Slide & Glide and work up to Cardio and Weights. I don't know which DVDs you own, but I think that you need to regain upper body strength. Maybe do low impact cardios and...

Clare, I have no idea. Sometimes businesses look at their numbers and think closing would be best and after selling out all their stock in record time they get loans and start all over again. I was hoping for something like this because they have such great reviews and their rating system for...

Hi Cathletes. I just went to Collage's website and they had exciting news. What do you think? :eek:

Today I did workout 2 of Born to Move. It is 52 mins of torture, but I loved the music. :eek: I had to modify a couple of moves, like the donkey kicks at the end, not because I couldn't do them, but because I have to go high and then when my legs hit the floor I was feeling it in my lower back...

I'm so sorry you are going through this. You have gotten amazing responses already. A friend of mine lost her dad to pancreatic cancer as well and when he died I remember telling her that she was fortunate in a sense because at least she could say goodbye. There are a lot of people who lose...

Sylwia is definitely a machine. I am adding Tonique to my existing rotations and going slowly with it. I will always try to do my best, but I'm not even close to her level of endurance and flexibility yet. I did Energy Mat on Thursday and I liked it a lot, but I could really feel it on my...

It takes a special kind of woman to cancel these kinds of procedures after they are scheduled. Some doctors are so hungry for money that make it impossible to do this with their non-refundable deposits. A few days ago I was reading about a woman in Florida that died after a procedure due to an...

I would try the shoes with the old socks to see if they fit better. It might be the socks, the shoes, or both. Sometimes you need to go up a whole size. Another suggestion is to go to amazon, zappos, and similar websites, enter the brand and model of the shoe to read the reviews. If the...

I did the main workout from ATM today. Wow! It is insane. I definitely agree with your comments. Sylwia looks beautiful and I loved the voice over with her positive comments, "Smile", "I want you to succeed", etc. I thought I was strong, but boy oh boy, Sylwia showed me I wasn't :eek: I...

I don't know if it's necessary for everyone, but for me it is. I sweat a lot and I need my socks to absorb that moisture so my shoes don't get stinky with repeated use :o. I only go barefoot when I do yoga or barre, but I never wear closed shoes without socks and that includes my athletic...

Liz, at 5' 5" and 125lbs I don't think you need to lose any weight so your amount of calories eaten combined with the amount of calories burned should not create any deficit. I think if you eat less than 2,000 calories with STS or any similar workout system you probably will not see the results...
