Cathe, I know you are in Chicago, but I hope you get a chance to read this question. I was wondering, as a trainer, have you noticed changes in your body (physique) as you've aged? I mean, do your workouts today still give you the same the results as they did, say, 10 years ago? The...

I think that is an excellent suggestion because it has tripped me up in the past too. As for her excellent instructor/filming techniques, I was just bragging about Cathe to someone who prefers instructors from only Beach Body and I said that Cathe was the best! One of the things that I like...

I personally feel for her and think there has to be more to the story. This is from her blog: Leading Fitness and Health Publishing Company Officially Closes Doors After 40 Years - Tosca Reno

The boxing gloves look so big and bulky that they just don't appeal to me. I'm used to using 1 lb wrist weights for Turbo Jam/Fire that I started using them for Hard Strikes and I love it! I have the Nike version that wrap around your wrist attached by a thumb hole. Your hand has a lot of...

I may have to try this Phyto B also. I am almost 48 and have been perimenopausal for over 3 years now. Heck, I may be menopausal and just in denial...lol. 3 years ago I started getting hot flashes all day and night! Continuously! It was dreadful. My doctor put me on Loestrin 21 which I've...

I had never heard of these before and they sound great if I had iron dumb bells:(. I have the ones with rubber ends and a rubber grip that I buy from Dick's Sporting Goods.

I have to add...another reason I don't care for 1RM is when we start using heavier weights (15lbs and above), it really doesn't work for me. Dumbbells obviously were originally made years ago with men in mind. But to me, there is a HUGE difference between 15, 20, 25, 30 etc. I know there are...

I'm not doing it for Xtrain either. I too have the huge dread factor!...lol. Since I have been lifting with Cathe's weight programs for years, it was pretty easy for me to figure out my 1RM on my own without the testing. But one thing I like about Xtrain compared to STS is we finally see what...

Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before but I was wondering if there was any chance that the Workout Manager could eventually be an app for the iPad/iPod? Thanks :) Laura

I use Cathe's rotations as a guide. I never follow them to the letter. I'm using her 90 day XTrain and LIS rotation as the guide and throwing in different cardio. I love TTM and CF and they are not listed in there. Plus, Cardio Supersets and Total Body Tri-sets are two of my least favorites...

Thanks Jann! $179.00 is easier to believe then what I found :) I think I may order this! It will fit nicely in my closet and give me a little more floor space.

I remember I researched this a few years ago and found the tower to be super expensive. It's really hard to find that exact one online. After search for dumbbell tower on the internet I found only two places (and they come with the dumbell set...couldn't find without dumbbells): Vertical...

I have both the older green tube and newer medium blue tube I bought when LIS came out. I'll be honest...that blue tube is quite a workout! It's a bit tougher then the green one. I later purchased the purple one (because I had elbow surgery) to lighten it up some and it too is a good...

I was able to download the update last night and sign in. But after reading this post, I went in again today and I got a network error! It went straight to a black screen. So I deleted the app and reloaded it. Didn't even need to sign in again and it's working. But, it does concern me that...

Hi! I just want to add on to what Carol said. For me, I didn't even realize I had tennis elbow at first and thought if I worked through it that it would go away. Wrong!..lol. Mine started about two years ago this November. I had three steroid shots all together. The first one was a...

Hi, just a quick update. Last Thursday marked my 6 weeks post op. Today I started with light weight training. It felt so good to have a weight in my hand again...lol. My PT has me doing 3 reps of 8 each with 2lb db on both wrist curls and wrist ext, 5lb db for bicep curl (elbow on the inside of...

I myself have been wearing New Balance for over 10 years and love them. But then I have narrow feet and they are the only trainer that fits comfortably for me. Every foot is different...lol.

Carol...how did your surgery go? I had my debriedment on 8/30/12. Two weeks in a long arm cast and two in a short cast. Just came out of it last Monday. I'm doing pretty good but still feel discomfort but believe that to be from surgery and lack of use. My pt consists of ROM right now and...

Had the surgery Hi all! I just wanted to drop by and say that I ended up opting for the surgery. The pain was 24/7 and nothing helped alleviate it. I had the surgery on 8/30 and spent two weeks in a long arm cast then two weeks in a wrist cast which I had removed last Monday. Right now I'm...

I have to say my favorites are and always will be Cedie, Brenda, Lorraine and Jai. I also like it when Cathe only uses 4 in the background. 5 or more just gets too cramped looking for me. I'm also hoping that Xtrain does not turn into a complicated program that STS was. I love to work...
