    Low Max blast #3??

    I LOVE that you asked that question!!!! I think about it every time i finish that blast. Was that blast considered a "gift" or does Cathe think it's tough too?

    Ms. Angry . . .

    Two years ago I freaked out because my brother-in-law had a fire in his apt. and needed to stay with us for a few days. We have a one bedroom apt. and I work out in the living room. Well, he had to stay on our couch and I was a total nut job because I couldn't do my workouts in my "workout...

    Motivation is fading...

    You are definitely not alone!!!! I think we all feel like this at some point. I do know though that when I have "given up" and have decided to not "think" about my diet, exercise less or not at all, I just feel so much worse!!!!!! Yes, I am enjoying my food while it's going down, but that's...

    Already my least favorite?

    I used to be extremely frustrated by Cathe's step workouts. And, I, too, often wished for a chaptered breakdown of steps. Now that I've been working at it for awhile, I feel so accomplished that I've gotten most of it down. That's what I love about Cathe's workouts....I really can grow with...

    Why Interval Max is Such a Great Workout!

    I just did this one this morning to sub for IMAX 3 (on the July 07 rotation) and am soooo glad I did. My face is so red right now, I know that I won't be able to apply my makeup for at least a half hour. This was a great workout.....straight forward, athletic style which I LOVE!!!

    If you have the Troy barbell that Cathe uses...

    I love it so much that I actually bought two because I'm back and forth between two residences. At first I bought a cheap one that was the screw on type and it was a major pain to change weights. The Troy light bar is perfect!!!! I like that it has four two and 1/2 pound weights because...

    Does Anyone Here Workout Just 4-5 Days Per Week?

    I workout 5 days a week and do a 5 mile walk (at a good pace) one day on the weekends. I do NOT like to workout for more than an hour. This just seems to really work for me....if I know it's going to be more than an hour than I sort of have a "dread" factor. I put so much into the hour, so I...

    Liquid foundation suggestions for 40 something skin

    I will be 50 next month and I swear by Bare Minerals....BUT, and this is a big BUT.....I have to use a cosmetic sponge to blend it in. Otherwise, my pores look huge. People always comment on how good my skin looks. Another hint...I NEVER EVER use it under my eyes as a concealer. I use a...

    Is there such a thing as too few calories?

    Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!! I highly recommend that you read the ebook, Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle. It will explain everything in detail. You must feed your body in order to burn fat. By eating so few calories a day, you are slowing down your metabolism.

    My last dance with the FIRM

    I hadn't done a Firm workout since January!!!! I, too, was a total Firmaholic, but needed to move on after doing it exclusively for three years. I was barely breaking a sweat!!!!! The other day I was "stranded" in my upstate home for a few days because my car died while I was up there. I had...

    the firm

    I was totally addicted to the Firm as I am now to Cathe. I think it's great for those who are beginners! I had never used weights prior to using the Firm and it was a perfect system for me at the time. But after a few years, my body plateaued! I was not continuing to see results.....and I was...

    Dove Energy Glow

    What about fading? Whenever I used self tanners I never stayed "even" looking. How often do you apply and how often do you totally exfoliate?

    HELP!!! I wanna like step aerobics....

    I too was once extremely frustrated by step....so much so that I did in fact sell Low Max, not once, but twice because I just couldn't "get it." I tried, I "rewound", I tried writing down the steps, and just gave up. And like you I loved kickboxing. So I started with Kick Max and KPC. THen I...

    Are You Sick Of Fitness Magazines Too!!!!

    I am a fitness magazine junkie and yet lately I feel as though I am just wasting my money. I don't feel that I'm learning anything new! For instance yesterday I was reading Self (or was it Shape?) and there was an article about getting rid of cellulite forever. Well, guess what they...
