    Anybody doing anything special to prepare for XTrain?

    I put together a rotation for myself using the Hiits, various kickboxing, To the Max, and Crossfire for cardio. For weights I'm using 4DS. For core I've just started Horizontal Conditioning Getting Started. I've always had the weakest core. I'm avoiding step because I don't believe there is...

    Apples-Sugar

    I think if you took a survey of overweight people you would have a hard time finding one who got that way by eating too much fruit. I find that I can eat as much fruit as I want (maybe 3 a day?) and not gain weight. When I start eating candy and junk I pack on the pounds immediately. I've...

    What I LOVE about Cathe workouts

    I agree with all of the comments. I could write a lot about this, but I'll sum it up with one word...RESULTS!!!

    Lower heart rate with kickboxing

    I forgot to mention that adding weighted gloves helps a lot too. I only use 1 lb. because I'm afraid to pull something!:p

    Lower heart rate with kickboxing

    Yes, unless I'm doing a move that involves jumping during kickboxing my heart rate isn't as high as other workouts. If I'm just standing there punching (even punching hard) it drops way down. Barbara

    stretching

    I try to do a longer stretch about once a week. I have several DVDs, but the StretchMax routines are still my favorite.

    4DS--My new favorite

    4DS is great, and I'm glad that I finally bought it after having it on my wish list forever. I did a rotation this summer and got the best results ever with the exception of STS which is two months longer! I was really surprised how my body responded to the weight work. It really is a great...

    Opinions please! Intensity Bootcamp or Drill Max??

    I have both and vote for Drill Max. It is a tougher workout with a lot of variety. Cathe really doesn't have another workout quite like it so it is a good one to add to your collection. It also gets my vote as one of the more fun workouts. I don't think you'll regret it, and you might find...

    What size do u consider to be skinny?

    I get that the term "real women" is used to make people feel better about themselves for not looking like supermodels, but I still think it is offensive. I think all women are "real" regardless of what they look like. I say this as someone who is not normally touchy about words/labels and most...

    Good Book Recommendations

    I loved Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I think it is currently no. 1 on the bestsellers list. Great book, couldn't put it down!

    Download the FREE Glassboro Road Trip App

    I like the app a lot, but am I missing something? I don't see the Saturday class from 2:30 - 3:30 on the schedule. Just wondering...

    Should I order GS Legs?

    Definitely! This is my favorite of all of the leg workouts. I think it is tougher than Lower Body Blast and most of the others. It is also very flexible where you can do just the standing portion, floor portion or both.

    Fourth Diagnostic Mammogram tomorrow

    I will be thinking of you too, Pam. I've had four biopsies over the years and every time I go in they seem to find something. It is no fun getting so scared. I just want them taken off at this point. What women go through! I hope you'll get good news and not have to worry about it for...

    Afterburn or Athletic Training?

    This is an interesting question. I think if you were to make a direct comparison of two of the LIS DVDs it would be easier to compare Afterburn to Cardio Supersets. They are both pure cardio (weights just used to increase cardio factor). Athletic Training has 25 minutes of cardio and then...

    Seriously, 8 changes of clothes?!?

    I went last year and packed a Ziplock bag with an outfit for each workout. I think it was more like 5 though. Anyway, I was drenched and felt smelly and gross after each workout but there wasn't enough time to shower. I packed wet wipes, deodorant, and body spray, and I would clean up the best...
