Not Cathe here...but I'm just going to say that if you're not challenged by Cathe's Low Impact HiiT workouts, you're doing something wrong. You've gotten great advice about STS and how to work through it. Keep in mind you don't need to "feel sore" in order for the workouts to be effective. But...

I have been hypothyroid for 6 years now. I've never gained weight as a result. In fact, I've lost 20 lbs after my diagnosis. I caught my condition early on, I think. And I've never had trouble regulating my metabolism with Levothyroxine. I've been on the same dose for 2 years now. I think the...

My hip flexors are 100% of the low back and thigh pain that I have. I've been seeing a chiropractor for years, and we have figured that out. If you have one side that is achy, it's likely because the OTHER side is working too hard. They serve in a criss cross fashion on your body. You have to...

Hi All, Sorry if this has been asked, but I couldn't find it in a quick forum search. I'm going to a friend's gym later this week, and I want to do High Reps while I'm there. I've tried to download in the past with little success. (I do not do Live or OnDemand, just want to get the one...

I've been on a few over the years: Orthocyclen (was eventually too strong and gave me 7 day migraines) Then Mircette, which I was on for almost 12 years. It was great. Post baby and post Essure, I'm back on Yaz to manage my uncontrollable moods and painful ovulation. If you are done with...

I can also confirm that lowering the step only costs me maybe 30-40 calories, based on doing the LIC and Low Max using my Polar. So, no need to torture yourself!

Seriously...not an advertisement.... I was just like you, where I could barely tolerate any pressure on the balls of my feet. 2" was about as high as I could get. Then I found a product called Insolia in a magazine a few years back. It's basically a little insert that you put in your shoe...

I think if you are going to do aggressive walking, you may be OK for cardio. But while yoga is much harder than I give it credit for, even while doing "hard yoga"...over an hour, I only burn 100 calories. Versus around 400-500 (per my Polar) during a typical Cathe workout. So I think it...

Love it! I've used eSalon for almost 2 years now. If you have never dyed your own hair, it takes once or twice to really get the hang of it. I get my shipments every 6 weeks. 30 minutes and I'm done, at $25/time. Looks just as good as the salon (I've gotten tons of compliments). I have...

Me too! Just wanted to echo that hungry feeling, too! I lost 20 lbs 2 yrs ago by gradually adjusting my calorie intake to 1200-1300/day. (I'm 5'2", and currently 120lbs). Eventually I stopped being totally ravenous, but I am always hungry to some degree. That is the ONLY way that I found I...

Hi all, I live in Chicago and take a few trips to Lake Geneva every year with the family. There is another hotel on Grand Geneva property (literally in the same drive) called Timber Ridge. It's home to an indoor water park but most of the rooms in there are suites that can easily sleep 4-6. If...

Not Cathe here, but those shoes look almost identical to the pair I use everyday. They are Ryka Transitions. I personally use them for my "high impact" shoes, but it's worth noting that I normally workout in Vibrams or barefoot. They provide enough cushioning for me. But I've read from...

I also have a Polar FT40 and LOVE it.

Not Cathe here... But my experience has always been that if you are light headed, lungs are burning, or you feel "tingly"...you are working too hard. You're in anaerobic mode and you don't want to spend too long there. Gasping for breath is OK. Just stop to catch it if any of the above...

It's for any color. ESalon is just the service that mixes and delivers professionally mixed color to your house. You do it yourself, rather than a stylist. But the idea is that it's just as customizable as a salon and uses professional color, rather than what you might buy off the shelf at a...

I've been using eSalon for about a year now. It's great! $20 every 6 weeks for my color, and 30 minutes of my time...as opposed to $100 and 3 hrs at a salon. When I signed up, I picked the color that I thought I wanted, put in some notes, and added a recent picture of myself (with the color...

I second the OxyPowder. I just finished a cleanse with it, myself. I do a full 7 day cleanse every couple of months, and 2-3 days once a month. Feel great! And no cramping, no bloating, etc... I get 60 pills for $24 on Amazon, and it lasts me for a couple of cleanses, usually. I take 4...

The other depressing thing to consider is that big arms might just be in your DNA. There were in mine. Nothing...absolutely nothing...that I did made a single dent. Diet, heavy weights, light weights, pyramid style, high reps, etc... Not. One. Dent. I'm 5'2", was 135lbs (I've dropped to...

I would suggest figuring out a few modifications for the normal kind of weight work that Cathe does, that you're looking to avoid. For ex: if she goes down for lying extensions, do them standing instead. If she's doing pushups, do bench presses (or on an incline, if lying flat bothers you)...

I've seen the best results in my previously untrainable shoulders by doing this exact thing. I'll do cardio with upper body work in there (sometimes things like Athletic Training, sometimes LIC, etc...) And then I tack a burn set from XTrain on top of it. I saw results quickly and man have...
