    Doctor in trouble for calling patient obese

    I am a physician (an anesthesiologist, technically for pediatrics, but I take care of some adults). Obesity is the WORSE disease to afflict the US!!! Would you complain if you Dr. told you you had High blood pressure??? That Dr. could potentially save her life. I think it's a sad statement on...

    Muscle Endurance

    YUP! You are totally right, I just finished it. I used exactly her weights, except for lunges where I went heavier by mistake (put the wrong plate on my barbell!) So, I am also counting the drips of my nose. Just to pick some smart brains, how frequently should you do strength vs endurance...

    Can I look like Cathe doing her vids?

    > >Rather than wanting to look like X or Y (who may not be your >body type), everyone should choose a role model that fits >their body type. > I can't tell you how much I agree with that. I spent so many years getting my hair cut like so and so, trying to get legs like someone else...

    Muscle Endurance

    Thanks for your response! I have gotten such great results with Muscle Max and Maximum Intensity Strength, that I wanted to add more to my workouts. So, I will give it a try today with her suggested weights and see how it goes!:-) :-)

    Muscle Endurance

    Hi, Thanks for your response. I saw that ME listed under the first post in this section, the Ultimate Guide to Cathe's Workouts. I guess my question is, since this one seems to be such a high rep one, do you lighten the weights a little?:);-)

    New to Cathe

    I have Basic Step/Body Fusion and I do them with an 8" step and heavier weights and find I get a pretty good workout. I really like the core workout with the stabilitly ball at the end.

    Muscle Endurance

    Hi Everyone, I am fairly new to Cathe and her workouts (2-3 months). I used to do the FIRM, but found it not to be quite intense enought at times for me. Also, I would have to do 2 DVD's to get an adequate workout. I just got the High Step and it came with Muscle Endurance. I haven't done the...

    Downhill

    Hi Cathe, My 71/2 year old son is a very very good and fast downhill ski racer. Though I have skiied since I was 3, he is rapidly overcoming my abilities. I am hoping to strenghten and increase the endurance of the muscle groups necessary to improve my abililties. Any thoughts on areas of...

    "Travel Workout"

    Hi Cathe! I love your workouts, though I find myself laying on the floor praying for forgiveness at the end. I do travel with a fair amount of frequency to locations without fitness ameneties. I would love an intense, not to high impact, cardio workout that doesn't use special equipment, and a...

    Cardio Ideas

    Hi Cathe, I am by no means new to exercise, but I find myself tripping over my own feet trying to catch up and get some of the combinations. I like high intensity, low impact workouts. I bought Low Max, which, once I figure out the steps, is great. Any other suggestions for either carido or...

    Padded Barbell

    Hi! I am looking for a padded barbell or pads you can buy separate. The back of my neck gets a little raw and sore from squats/lunges etc. I would appreciate any suggestions. BTW, I recently purchased Muscle Max. WOW! Every muscle group was burning. :-)
