A-Jock, do you do Terminator as produced, or do you mix that up (all cardio then all weights) as well? I just recently got this and have only done one of the workouts (Gauntlet) once, so I don't even know if it has premixes or not.... -Marie:-)

Kandy, that's one of the best posts I've read in a long time! I'm really happy for you and think you have one of the healthiest attitudes and outlooks I've heard--you're an inspiration! And I hope you don't mind, I plan on using the term "food orgasm" the next chance I get--that cracked me...

A-Jock, I was actually hoping to get a reply from you! I thought I remembered reading that you had done something similar with Cathe's circuit workouts. It really did seem like a completely different workout, and it was great! Something about BC as it's originally produced is weird (but a...

Hi, everyone-- Do you think you get the same benefits from a circuit workout if you do it in a different order than originally produced? I did Boot Camp the other day, but I did a combination of the premixes: upper & lower body, then all the cardio, then all the core. I loved it! I've...

Thank you for posting this! There's so much conflicting information out there, and it really all does come down to common sense and a little discipline. Suddenly EVERYTHING is either low-carb or no-carb. If you don't have any carbs, how do you have any energy? It seems like if you try to...

Hi, Dutchie-- Here's a children's running website from Runner's World; I'm not that familiar with it, but the regular Runner's World website is great, so hopefully this one is, too! Good for you for getting your boys out there and into healthy habits! http://www.kidsrunning.com -Marie:-)

Thanks! I think I might try this--it sounds great! -Marie:-)

Yeah, it seems like a pretty good substitute. Something about bending that knee behind me really aggravates my knee sometimes for some reason! At least this way it feels like I'm still getting all the benefits to the front leg, which is probably the main focus of the lunge anyway (I think?)...

Hi, missyb70-- This looks very interesting! I've been trying to add more cardio but not skimp on the weight training, either. This looks like a good rotation! Can you tell me, how long are your workouts when you do the ME upper or lower body split + the 30 minutes cardio? I usually don't...

Hi, Crystal-- Good point! When I do it in ME with no weight, I do lean forward like Cathe and the crew does. But when I added the barbell, which I did rest on my shoulders, I kept my body upright as if I were doing a lunge and just kept my back leg straight rather than bent. This felt very...

Hi, Cathe-- I've had problems with my right knee (had arthroscopic surgery 6 years ago). It feels good most of the time now, but one exercise that sometimes seems to irritate it is lunges. The funny thing is, the position that bothers it is when the right leg is in back. Something about...

I'm continually amazed that Cathe is willing to do all that she does for us. She already produces the best workout videos out there, and in doing that shares her knowledge with all of us complete strangers and allows us to benefit from her knowledge and access to the latest fitness information...

I'd like to add my support for Cathe and her staff as well. I've only encountered a problem with one of the many, many Cathe DVDs that I have. I emailed customer service, got a response very quickly, and the problem was resolved. If it's true that it's just Cathe and Chris pretty much doing...

Hi again-- I forgot to add what makeup I use--all from Clinique--Superfit foundation, Stay-Matte pressed powder and their powder blush. Good luck!:-) -Marie

Hi, Gina-- I've been using Origins products for a few years now with good results (www.origins.com). Here's what I use: 1. Mint Wash to wash my face and neck 2. Oil Refiner (like a toner that you sweep on with a cotton ball after you wash) 3. A Perfect World (supposed to help "erase"...

A-Jock, something very similar just happened in my neighborhood a couple of weeks ago! A guy broke into a video store by breaking a window and stole some video games. On his way back out the broken window, he cut his leg and ended up bleeding to death on the poor guy's lawn who lived across...

Ha! That's a good one!:7 -Marie

One more important point that Andrea mentioned and that bears repeating: even if you're an advanced exerciser, running is TOTALLY different! I'm a pretty experienced runner, but I took a break this winter (just can't get motivated to run in the dark/cold!). I went out last week for the first...

Hi, Kathy-- I'm obviously not Cathe, but have you tried the Runner's World magazine website? www.runnersworld.com They have a wealth of information for beginning runners. I'm sure Cathe will have some great tips, but you might want to check out their website as well. Good luck and enjoy...

Sigh...I was being really good...I was going to wait til the new videos came out before I ordered, since the BBs are still so new...then you have to go and post these awesome pictures...of course I caved and ordered this advanced one right away! And, since I was already ordering, I just had to...
