    Body parts 2X/week

    You two are cracking me up! So how much extra work will it take for a formerly-scrawny shrimpy Sicilian with a tendency towards thick thighs to look that good??? ;) You two are cracking me up! So how much extra work will it take for a formerly-scrawny shrimpy Sicilian with a tendency towards...

    Total Body Recommendations?

    Hi ladies! I am again reaching out for some advice. I am ready to switch things up a bit and shift the focus from adding muscle and weight to "leaning out" and gaining some definition to show off the new muscles I have added over the past 7 months while not losing weight or any of the muscle I...

    Body parts 2X/week

    Thanks, Karen! Man, I would love to have a few extra inches added on to my legs....Alas, I am a shrimpy 5'3 and have to fight to keep my thighs from becoming of the "thunder" variety. lol! Your results are awesome! That body fat percentage alone had to take an incredible amount of discipline to...

    Good gosh, Karen, you look AMAZING!!!! I know what kind of work and discipline those results had to take and I am WAY impressed and inspired!!!!! And hey, as far as 80s hair goes, it doesn't get much more 80s-licious than mine. ;) Nosy question for you that you can feel free to ignore but, out...

    Optical heart rate monitor sports watch vs. One with hear rate sensor

    You are so welcome! Glad I could help! :) I was actually thinking about trying the Garmin 225 next but even that one seems to have difficulty with Hiit from what I have read. I haven't tried the Polar that you're talking about but it sounds awfully neat. Do you know which model it is? It's funny...

    Optical heart rate monitor sports watch vs. One with hear rate sensor

    I was looking into purchasing a new fitness tracker myself and was looking at the Fitbit Surge and a few others. The tough part is, I was a bit hesitant to shell out a couple hundred bucks without being able to try it first especially because I want it to be accurate for things like Hiit...

    Rest & Recovery?

    Hi everyone! I am curious to know how my fellow Cathletes handle their rest/recovery. It seems like most of you take at least 1 or 2 days off during the week. Why do you choose to take these days off and, do you take them off entirely or do you still do light activities such as a brisk walk or...

    FEB 2011 Rock Bottoms Rotation

    Awesome! I look forward to trying them. And I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who can't stand choreography. Even the "dancy" stuff gets me. My daughter watched me doing a Michele Dozois workout for the first time and she couldn't stop laughing. Not sure what's wired wrong in my brain...

    FEB 2011 Rock Bottoms Rotation

    Awesome, thank you, it helps a ton! I honestly couldn't say whether the workouts that contain some step would be doable for me or not. I typically avoid anything with the step like the plague. I know I have done a couple of Cathe's workouts that contain a little step but it's mostly things like...

    FEB 2011 Rock Bottoms Rotation

    Oh my goodness, Jengolf! I just saw this post for the first time and I HAVE to do this rotation! I have been working on getting a butt for a little while now and, I'll just say it.....I need help! ;) This looks like it would do the trick! Quick question for you, though. I am a MESS when it comes...

    Peakfit Challenge

    So, is Peakfit Challenge different from Michelle's other, stand-alone DVDs? Or does Peakfit include some of her DVD workouts that can be purchased separately? It sounds like a great program but I already own most of her stand-alone DVDs and definitely don't want to waste my money re-buying the...

    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    Thank you! You are so right, Nathalie. I need to be a little patient with myself and just do the best I can with the first time through each workout. I overestimated my weights initially thinking "Hey, I just finished STS! I'm strong now!" Well, maybe so but not so strong that I can lift that...

    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    Hahaha! I am soooo glad I am not alone in my suckiness with hi-rep stuff. I just got my ASS handed to me in XTrain Legs yesterday. Kind of literally.... It's amazing how I can lift some seriously heavy weights but give me floor work and I turn into a trembling, quivering, shaky mess! My bootie...

    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    Hi Elsie! Trust me, it is only after many, many years of doing some pretty intense Hiit workouts pretty much every single day that I now view a workout like Hard Strikes as a little easy. That said, I tend to go a little overboard at times and am realizing that there's something to be said for...
