    no more cardio

    I'm one of those cardio lovers. I have been a runner for decades and have never tired of it. I have had to cut back on my cardio days; I now run 3 to 4 days, instead of 5 or 6. Being in my 40's, my joints just can't handle the pounding. I do weight work 3 days a week and I enjoy it and...

    A better way to to oatmeal? Maybe!

    I've been eating oat bran since the late 80s', when it was the new "miracle" food for heart health. I like it, but can't eat it too often; it has a baby pablum-ish consistency, which isn't my favorite texture. I love the texture of irish steel cut oats. I find it really easy to prepare. I do...

    So.....who else is NOT going to do the new workouts?

    Me, I'm not going to do the new workouts until after I finish this semester. I'm a mom of 3 and a full-time college student. The thought of dragging out all of the necessary equipment for these workouts and putting it away again, exhausts me. I'll stick with running and Slow & Heavy workouts...

    Thoughts on Boot Camp?

    I have owned Boot Camp since it first came out and still use it and love it. My two teenage sons are competitive tennis players and they use Cathe's Boot Camp to supplement their training program. They like it as much as I do :-) Sarah

    I'm craving...

    >I'm weak...when will I learn that if it's not around, I won't >eat it!!!!!! I had to ban the Booty. It used to call to me from the pantry, "Come eat me!" I rationalized that is was a "healthy" snack, but an entire bag of anything is NOT healthy. I miss you, Booty :-( Sarah

    Has anyone started Christmas shopping yet?

    I started shopping in August. My motivation is to spread out the purchases and pay in cash, so that I have no credit card debt after the holidays. My first purchase was a Wii and it's wrapped and paid for :) Sarah

    New Turbo Jam Infomercial with Sculpting Gloves

    I LOVE Turbo Jam. The weighted gloves came with the last TJ DVD's I ordered, but I already had weighted gloves that I use for Cathe's kickbox workouts. Acutally, I prefer my own gloves. The gloves from Beach Body are strange with a thumb hole and 2 finger holes. I have long, thin fingers and...

    My experience with Splenda

    Recently, I ate some Blue Bunny ice cream pops, not knowing that they were sugar-free, containing Splenda. I got the worst abdominal pains after eating them and it lasted for several hours. I didn't make the connection between the pain and the Splenda until I ate a Blue Bunny pop a couple of...

    Pure Strength Music

    Pure Strength was one of my first Cathe purchases, made years ago. It's on VHS and the yucky music is the reason that I didn't upgrade to a DVD. I can't handle it :-( Sarah

    Walking

    I am in total agreement with Clare. I think that people do underestimate walking and hiking. I have been a runner for decades, but decided to incorporate power walking (with hillwork) into my cardio program. The day after my first power/hill workout, I was so sore! I was shocked because I am...

    What's up with flip flops?

    Here in Hawaii, flip flops are called slippers. Everyone wears slippers here. It's not only the fact that we live on the beach, but slippers have cultural roots. A large segment of the population here are of Japanese ancestory. As a custom, we don't wear shoes in the house here and you would...

    Food - Paul Dean

    I've been a faithful watcher of the Food Network since it began. Back in the 90's, the programming was much more diverse and not so market-driven. Granted, it wasn't as Slick as it is now, but it was great TV. Since Scripps bought the Food Network, it's all about profit and the charm is gone...

    Salad Bars...Be careful

    Good grief, just the thought of a salad bar makes me break out in hives. I haven't eaten anything from one of those "sneeze shield" covered, microbial nightmares, in at least 20 years. I don't partake at "potlucks" either :-( Thanks for sharing the article. Sarah
