    stupid question...

    Thanks - I am going to check out ebay and see what I can get an HRM for. I think it would be helpful for determining intensity, and hopefully also to remind me of the calorie burn part of it too.

    What kind of skin care products do you use????

    A little clinique (mostly the color products), some L'Bri which is an Aloe based line, and a little Aveda. I'd really like to try the Bobby Brown line though...I've heard great things about it! Amy

    stupid question...

    I posted earlier questioning whether I was getting enough intensity from my workout because I wasnt sweating as much as I do when I am on the elliptical. I am also doing the Fit TV version of many of the workouts, but for a beginner to Cathe, that should still be enough to produce buckets of...

    Intensity/HR question

    Hello fellow Cathe-ites! I just did Imax 2 (FitTV version, so not the whole thing) and I have a question. I feel like I was very challenged - had to modify some of the moves, especially the last interval...my breathing was challenged, and my HR felt high, but I don't feel like I got as sweaty...

    weight loss question

    Hi all... I think that most of you are not trying to lose weight (because you all look and sound terrifically thin!), but I wonder if you could offer a few thoughts to someone who is trying... First, I've heard from some people that when you are strength training and working out a lot...

    Opinins please on adding a second workout?

    Agreed time is a huge issue for me with school, work, family, etc. I think my solution is going to be similar to your suggestion - during my break at school today, I'm going to take my shoes and take a nice long walk (granted that it is freezing here...). I think that is probably my most...

    Opinins please on adding a second workout?

    Hi all... I've posted before about a CTX rotation, and I'm thinking of adding a second workout 2-3 days a week just to try to really kick in the fat burning. I want to lose as much as possible and tone up as much as I can in the next 6 weeks. For the second workout - would you recommend...

    CTX day 1

    Thanks for the responses. I think that I might try to add in a second workout 2-3 days a week. But I know that I DO need to put some serious emphasis on my diet. I can be so bad in this area sometimes if I'm not careful. I didn't get a workout in today, but I'm going to try to get two in...

    CTX day 1

    Hi everyone, I am just starting a CTX rotation. Today I did 10-10-10. I am pretty new to Cathe, and this seems like a great place to start since the workouts are less than an hour for cardio and one body part of toning. I was going to use just CTX for 6 weeks - has anyone done this and...

    heart rate monitor opinions?

    I am considering getting a Polar S210. My main focus is on getting into my cardio zone, and tracking the calories expended as well. Is this too much of a machine? The A5 seems so basic comparatively, and I can get the S210 for just over $100. I'd love to hear if anyone has opinions...

    fat-burning rotation?

    Cathe, I have seen others talk about this - is it posted somewhere? I am 7 weeks from my honeymoon, and I have some weight to lose. I'd like to lost the most fat/tone up as much as possible before the honeymoon. Can you make any recommendations? I am also trying to eliminate processed and...

    How long for shipping?

    OK...you guys are SERIOUSLY a bad influence. }( I ordered CTX yesterday and talked myself out of Body blast right now...but now I really want it again! Pro's - I could alternate it with CTX to hopefully get better results WITHOUT having to fast forward through commercials...in addition to...

    What's in your brown bag - talking lunch

    I had a chicken caesar salad for lunch today and just used 1/2 of the dressing. It was very tasty, and I was proud that I didn't use all of the dressing like I would have in the past. Very satisfying lunch!

    Somebody stop me!!! ;)

    UPDATE - I just bought the CTX. I really want the Body Blast too..but I have many of those taped from FitTV, so I will use those for now and maybe next month grab them on DVD. It's not ideal, but it'll work! Thanks everyone! Amy

    anaerobics question

    OK...this is definately going to point out my newness here...but what exactly is anaerobics, and how does this benefit your workout? I know that aerobics is working out in oxygen, so is anaerobics when you push yourself to being way out of breath? Hmmmm... I always thought that you had to work...

    Timesaver question...

    Does anyone use the timesaver as a rotation in itself for a week or longer - or do you just use it to fill in when you're short on time? Is this DVD less intense than CTX? I have the timesaver, and I've used various workouts, but had never considered doing them as a rotation in...
