    Vegan/vegetarian cookbook recommendations?

    I was looking for sea vegetables awhile back and couldn't figure out what it was until I realized that it is stuff like kelp, seaweed, nori and probably a lot more. It still seems to be hard to find in regular grocery stores (I know the one I usually go to used to have nori but no more it...

    Chalean Extreme??? really???

    I used it last year. I like the length of the workouts and it was the program where I first discovered that I really like heavy weight training and after it, I discovered Cathe and had to buy STS. I wasn't a big fan of the cardio workouts - they were kind of boring or the yogaish one. I liked...

    LIC V. Low Max

    I love both and can't imagine not having both workouts! I find Low Impact Circuit easier just because of the circuits so it is easier to get through. I struggle with Low Max - I think it is a much harder workout. But I love the music in Low Impact Circuit - so much fun and motivating! You...

    what is it about cathe..........

    I completely agree - ever since I tried Cathe's workouts, no other ones compare anymore! The tons of DVDs I have are basically collecting dust right now and I used to buy them like crazy but now I don't because I have all Cathe's (mostly downloads). I just love her personality and the...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    welcome Glitter! So I did end up getting sick so no workout for the past 3 days. I am starting to feel a lot better (was back at work today) and I'm thinking I will pick up tomorrow with Kick Punch & Crunch. Bridget: Woohoo on trying Pyramid Upper Body! How'd you like it? Nancy...

    Vegan/vegetarian cookbook recommendations?

    Darine: Thanks for the great recommendations - I will definitely check them out! Stephanie: I have The Kind Diet too! I first decided to switch after reading Dr. Neal Barnard's book on reversing diabetes. The studies he performed showed great results with a vegan diet and I just decided...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    No Low Max for me today - I haven't been feeling well (wasn't yesterday either) so I thought I should take a rest day today. I hope I'm not getting sick...I hate being sick! Hopefully it is a temporary thing and I can attempt Low Max tomorrow instead. Samonia: Great job with the workout...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Bridget: Low Max is an intermediate/advanced workout so you are definitely over the beginner hump! Jennifer: I couldn't see the picture but I followed the link to eBay and saw it there. It's not the same workout DVD you would buy from Cathe - Low Max is a 70 minute workout and the DVD has...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Just finished Pyramid Upper Body. It was tough - I increased my weights a bit and definitely felt the difference. I did the ab section but modified the plank and pike moves using the ball - I don't know if I'll ever be able to do those with the stability ball - I just can't stay still. :)...

    Pocket calendars/journals ?!?!?!?!?!

    love this idea too! I love the calendar but a small log book would also be a great addition.

    Vegan/vegetarian cookbook recommendations?

    I just switched to a vegetarian diet (may be more vegan as I get used to it) and was wondering if anyone had recommendations on good cookbooks for vegan/vegetarian meals?

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Bridget: Never feel bad or shame for posting that you didn't do a workout on one day. It's OK to take a day off and sometimes you need it. The important thing is to always listen to your body. BIG CONGRATULATIONS on completing Low Max!! It's tough and long so give yourself a big pat on the...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    welcome Samonia & Jennifer! Just finished Low Impact Step this morning - felt good but it is definitely more challenging when I do it the day after Pyramid Lower Body. I'm not as sore this time after Pyramid but still pretty sore. My calves are really feeling it this time. :p Nancy...

    Fitness clothing line

    I'd buy too - assuming they would ship to Canada of course! :) Some of the others don't ship outside the US.

    Fire Walker Bands

    I just received mine yesterday (took advantage of them being on sale this past week) and I agree that they are great quality. I can't wait to try them out!

    Sookie Stackhouse - Worth Reading??

    I agree with everyone else - I think the books are definitely worth reading. I read the first two back when they first came out and loved them and then I just forgot about them so I have a lot of catching up to do. I really enjoy the True Blood series too - it's one of the few occasions where...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Checking in today with Pyramid Lower Body. I wonder how sore I will be this time. :D I still have to work on being able to complete all those calf raises and the leg lifts on the ball at the end but great workout!
