Hi, Beverly-- You look awesome! I remember when you posted your earlier pictures, I thought you looked incredible, and now you look even better! It's so exciting to see and feel yourself getting better and better, isn't it? Good for you--and thanks for sharing these with us--you're an...

Dear Cathe, I just read this this morning and can't tell you how sorry I am to hear about Hampton. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were reading about Dakota, and now you're living through this again. I just put my 19-year-old cat to sleep a few months ago after losing her 17-year-old...

Hey, Laurie-- That's great news! I'm so happy for you! -Marie:-)

Way to go, A-Jock! You're truly an inspiration! Keep up the great work (and workouts!;-) )! -Marie:-)

Thanks for posting that, Amy! I'm turning 40 a month after Cathe; what a cool trip down memory lane! -Marie:-)

Add my vote for the premixes, please! (I've never used the workout blender but use the premixes all the time!) I feel bad that we're not better about letting you know when we're happy with the videos you produce, only when we have a problem! I, too, consider the pre-mixes an invaluable addition...

Dear Joyce, No real advice; just want to wish you all the best and say that your outlook is inspiring! I've been fortunate to never have to deal with illness of my own, but I have to agree that exercise is always extremely beneficial to your psyche when dealing with anything difficult. It...

Hi, Janice-- I'm just like you; motivating myself to work out has never been a problem. But eating right? Forget it! Reading this forum was actually what inspired me to do better. Just reading everyone's threads on how/what they eat helped a lot. I realized I was eating way too many...

Cathe, YOU RULE!!!!! I'm turning 40 a few weeks after you, and I agree--this is EXACTLY what we need to celebrate that milestone properly! You are the BEST!!! -Marie:D :D :D

Hi, A-Jock-- I've lived in the Boston area my whole life; grew up in Dorchester (part of Boston) and now live in Quincy, which is just outside of Boston heading towards the South Shore. I love being in an urban area. I can't imagine living somewhere where there aren't a million things to...

Dear Na, Please don't feel sad about your body; it is doing the ultimate workout for you! If your body is battling and winning against such a demon as cancer, then it is one awesomely fit body indeed! Rejoice in your body's power! It is truly wondrous! I wouldn't be surprised if the fact...

Hi, JulieMom-- You did exactly what I did! I stopped running through the winter (I'm with you--I hate running in the cold/darkx( ) When I added it back in, I was in really good shape cardio-wise because of all the Cathe workouts I did all winter, so I went right back to my usual 4.5 miles...

Yes! This usually only happens to me when I'm jogging, which for me is the toughest workout I do. Must have something to do with all the sweating you're doing or something. -Marie:-)

That's great! I live in Boston; we just had our marathon last week, and every year on that day, I vow to do it the following year! Then I go out for a 5-mile jog the next day, realize how tough it would be, and say no way!:P Seriously, though, I think it must be an incredible feeling to...

Hi, Eloise-- I'm in Boston but go to Lake Winni every summer for two weeks--I believe the town we stay in is Moultonborough--we love it! Congrats on your wedding and have a blast in Maui! My husband and I are actually going there for our 15th anniversary--we leave 3 weeks from today, and I...

I'm so glad this subject came up. I used to do the FIRM a long time ago, before discovering Cathe, and in Volume 1 (I told you it was a long time ago!), which has killer floor work, they would do this move but stay grounded. I'm wondering what benefit there is to being up instead of staying...

Hi, Cathe-- What about a series like CTX--each workout could be 1/2 hour of HEAVY weight work, one body part, like S&H, then the 2nd 1/2 hour could be very high intensity interval training, like IMax. It seems like people are preaching high intensity as opposed to length of time spent on a...

Runner's World Carole, what do you think about the new format of Runner's World? I've been a subscriber for several years, but I'm really considering not renewing this time. There's something about the new format I just don't like, and I'm not as enthused about reading it as I once was...

Hi, Lisa-- Sorry you're having such a hard time lately. One tip for the food problem: pack a cooler every day with your lunch and snacks. That way, when you get hungry, you'll have good healthy food right there waiting for you, and you won't be tempted to eat whatever high-fat takeout food...

I guess the idea is, play around until you find what you like and what works best for you! I'm so creatively challenged, it never occurs to me to do things other than how they're produced. But now that I've had a little taste of it with BootCamp, I can't wait to play around with more premixes...
