My DD is 13 and has a Samsung Galaxy 3 phone (handed down when DH upgraded to the 4) and a laptop. She got the laptop first, and does use it when she's doing homework, as some of her heavy textbooks are available online so she doesn't have to lug them home. The phone is great for photos...

I totally agree!

We feed our lab/border collie mix Nature's Domain Grain Free Salmon and Sweet Potato from Costco, and at 2.5 years old, he's very healthy and energetic (runs with DH, who does half marathons). We went grain-free because when we first got him, and he was eating the Science Diet from the shelter...

Awesome! I can't wait!

Thanks everyone! Nice to know I'm not alone. I feel like the value in terms of consistency that comes with working out first thing in the morning far outweighs any benefit I might get from eating, waiting an hour or two, and then working out. Any time I try to work out later in the day, life...

From your article, it sounds like you recommend eating before working out. I'm currently getting up at 4:30 so I can drink a cup of coffee and wake up a little, then working out at 5am. I don't think I could stomach so much as a smoothie at 4:30 in the morning, and if I wait until later I may...

Wow this looks like a great workout! I'm not too interested in the On Demand, because I already own almost all the dvds, but the live looks like a lot of fun. Watching that class almost makes me want to move to New Jersey! Will it be a boot camp class every week, or will it vary? Can we...

So this morning I did CrossFire triple tabata premix (short but intense! don't know why I never noticed it before) and at the end I'm stretching in pigeon pose. Cathe said "breathe in the positive energy" or something like that, and I replied "I'm breathing in armpit sweat! Anyone else talk...

While I agree that processed foods are primarily to blame, I don't agree that whole grains are innocent because we have genetically modified wheat so much that's it's completely changed from what our grandparents ate. I recommend Gary Taubes' books, as well as Wheat Belly (I think the author is...

If you have them, the FitPrimes are easy with no dread factor for me.

I'm trying to record walking/running into the workout manager. I know how to add it in manually, but is there a way to automatically load it from the Map My Run program on my phone into the workout manager? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I started today (6-month) rotation. I decided that's enough of a set plan for me to commit to, so I'll do cardio of my choice on the off days. I need a mixture of structure and freedom.

This is a timely thread. My DD (13) has been having a lot of gastrointestinal issues lately, and I suggested to her that she might have a sensitivity to gluten. Yesterday was day 1 gluten-free, and she felt a lot better already. I'm trying to do paleo, which is pretty much naturally...

For those of you that did STS, did you do the STS cardio with it, the LIS cardio, or some other strategy? Any pros/cons to one rotation over another? I am planning to do the 3-month plan - just haven't decided on the cardio. I don't want the cardio to distract from strength, but I do like to...

I would love to see Cathe weigh in on this (no pun intended). Sometimes I think we paralyze ourselves with overanalysis. It might be best to do what you enjoy for now, build up a habit of working out consistently, then tweak it as your body adapts to consistent exercise. Try to avoid eating...

I just read this article (don't know how I missed it the first time) and it sounds great! I would love to see what Cathe would put together based on this concept.

I often struggle with plank-based exercises, down dogs and any other exercise that involves supporting myself on my arms. I can usually match you (or 2-5 lbs less) on most weight workouts, but my arms/shoulders just can't seem to support me for very long at all. This limits a lot of core work...

I'm not Cathe, obviously, but I would assume either they didn't sell enough to make it profitable to carry them or they ran into some sort of supply problem with whoever was making the equipment. Comparable equipment is probably available elsewhere. You can probably get some good specific...

All these sound great, but...as much as I would like an XTrain 2 or STS 2 or any other "sequel" I think I would prefer to see what new stuff Cathe can come up with to surprise us, confuse our muscles and take us to a new level of fitness.

Anyone interested in a check-in for those of us doing Cathe's January metabolic rotation?
