Good call on ordering Muscle Max. This is one of my favorite Cathe full body workouts! Its fun, but challenging! Lynn M.

Hi Ronnie: Both are great workouts.. However, if maximum muscle gain is what you are looking for, go S & H. These are very different from a standard weight training workout as that Cathe uses slow movements for maximum recruitment of the muscles. PS is a great solid series, but it is a...

Hi: I like Pure Protein bars, the chocolate peanut butter flavor is the best, the others are so-so. They are 20 gms of protein for 200 calories, and you can find them almost anywhere. Sam's Club has them in bulk pack for a good price if you shop there. Lynn M.

Hi- So sorry to hear about your sleeplessness.. I go through fits of insomnia myself and its awful! Normally, I have no problem w/ falling asleep, just staying asleep. I have tried Ambien, and here's my experience... it does keep me asleep, but it does make me groggy in the AM, which I...

Hi - I second Nivea Smooth Sensation lotion, that IS a good one. The other one that is good is Quench ( Olay Brand) Get the extra moisturizing one, its great. Both of these also leave a nice "sheen" on your skin, esp the Quench one... its definitely not a bronzer by any means, but its...

Oh man, I'm caving, I'm caving...... Yep, its mine! :) I am constantly looking for new Ab work, esp. non traditional moves! LauraMax, thanks for pushing me off the fence ! :) And yes to the OP that said we can't use the 20% off discount, I realized that after I went back and reread the...

Thanks for the reply Laura... good to know you found it challenging That is the one that totally caught my eye and might be worth the $$ just for that workout! One more question... how do you think it compares to Coremax? I have that and with the exception of a few exercises ( ie levitation...

Thanks so much everybody for your input! I think I still need to ponder the purchase. When I previewed the workout, the paper plate workout looked really hard and fun.. is it as good as it looks? Thanks, Lynn

Hi to all you STS users: I did not order the STS Strength series, only because I belong to a gym and go there for my weight training. However, I just ordered STS Shock Cardio (am way excited about it) and happened to see that I can order the STS Ab workouts all on one DVD. Can you give...

Hi- Believe it or not, I just got some really cute workout tops at Sears... I ran in there on a whim, and ended up getting some long bra tops and tanks for about 7.00 each. I would put their quality on the same line as Kohls or Target's lines of athletic clothes. Lynn M.

Unfortunately since there is no standard in the clothing industry, the numbers truly don't mean anything. I have clothes in my closet that range from size 4 to size 12 and they all fit me about the same!! How weird is that? Also, I'm a bit leery of the caliper measuring too... I was...

I love this workout too!! I think the ctx series is really underrated... there are some great workouts in this series. I probably do at least one of the CTX cardios a week, since the series came out, many years ago! Even though it might be dated, it never fails to get me sweating! PS: I...

I have Pushup handle bars and love them... I have wrist issues too and they've totally saved me. Also, another bonus with them is that bec. the range of motion is deeper you can really get a better burn too! :) They are definitely worth the investment esp. if you have problems with your...

Picking a top 3 is challenging, but here's mine that are my "go to's" when I need to motivate: 1. Theme song from the TV series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ( Mock me, I deserve it!) 2. Layla.. Eric Clapton ..particularly thhe guitar and piano instrumental portion. It makes me forget I'm weary...

Hey Linda- Hope you are doing well!!!! If you are a fan of protein bars, I would use that credit to buy a bunch of different ones and find some that you like. Then, when/if you do, go order it off of one of the nutrition websites where you can buy them much cheaper. GNC is pricey, so if...

Hi- When I did the full 90 day rotation of P90x, I did additional cardio since I'm a cardio junkie and can't give it up. I would do KenpoX, and PlyoX, but never did cardio X.. wasn't long or challenging enough. I also ran, and did Cathe cardio, but I cut down from my usual 40 minutes of...

I looked up golfer's elbow and it sounds like exactly what we all might have. Do you all get discomfort in your wrists too? When I do unassisted pullups, I notice it much more than when I do assisted ones. I hope somebody has some knowledge about this... I love the idea of being able to do...

Hi all- So, this week to change it up, I decided to do a week of a P90x rotation... I've not done any of these workouts in almost year and was pleasantly surprised to see how much improvement I made on my pullup counts. That's the good news. The bad news... my "elbow" joints are really...

I've had a roll of bad eating in the last week too... Not sure what's going on, but I've not been able to take the feed bag off! I swear that part of it has to do w/ the daylight savings time!! ( not sure how, but that's my excuse!) Anyways, today is back on the wagon.. I'm trying to drink...

I agree w/ Gayle on the Bootcamp Ab premix.. that is a great one, tons of variety, challenge and its pretty quick. But, unlike Gayle, I only do it once, not twice! :) Lynn M.
