    Sushi!!

    It all depends one what type of roll you get. Hands down a Tuna roll is going to win over a Seattle roll (smoked salmon and cream cheese) nutritionally. Pick the rolls that have good stuff inside and no sauces or cheeses and you're golden. My personal two favorites are spicy tuna with avocado...

    Advanced step workout with weights

    You might consider looking into Cathe's weighted gloves, rather than carrying dumbells during step. or maybe even wearing her weighted vest. I think those would be safer options to holding dumbells while doing step. You might also check out her kickboxing dvd's for upper body toning. They are...

    WEIGHT GAIN?

    I wouldn't push yourself too hard too quick with doing doubles. That could lead to an injury rather than results. Take the program as is first and then adjust as needed. Don't want to burn yourself out As to the OP it sounds like maybe you do need to add in some extra cardio to get your...

    Sunscreen question

    I don't remember where I read this, but I heard a long time ago that anything over SPF 30 is pointless and doesn't really do anything more than the 30. Don't know if it's true or not. Shelby

    I thought Cathe sold this...

    The old site used to have links to a lot of different fitness equipment. Such as barbells, treadmills, and the like. But her shop has never carried them that I've seen. I kinda wish they would bring those links back.

    Calf and foot pain

    PF pain can be a tricky little bugger sometimes. Most often people feel it in the heel because the tendon stretches over it. But, in a similar way to tendonitis of the knee or elbow (tennis) elbow. It can also hurt where it connects at the end. Hence I get the pain in the bottom of my foot...

    Calf and foot pain

    Sounds almost like classic symptoms of plantar fasciatis (sp?). Which can be characterized by a tightenting of the tendon that runs down the calf, under the heel and arch of the foot. I have this, but mine is weird in that I only get pain in the arch of my foot. I would definitely see a doctor...

    Chalean Extreme or stick with Cathe?

    Personally I condsider Cathe's workouts a step up from Chalene Extreme. Both in quality and difficulty. I've completed Chalene Extreme three times and I'm getting ready to start STS next weekn (yippie yippie yippie!!!). After doing my 1RM tests and previewing the dvd's I KNOW i'm in for a much...

    OUCH! My foot!

    Hmm, weird foot problem there Nan. I know my PF hurts up in my arch and sometimes will do so when i'm barefoot with nothing supporting my arch. Sometimes all I will do is take a normal step forward and that will overstretch that tendon under my arch. Another thought would be something with the...

    ?Form for push ups?

    My physical therapist always says to make sure not to go nose to the floor. you want your upper arms to be parallel with the floor and that your shoulders shouldn't go below your elbow height. Says he sees lot of shoulder injuries from that and from doing overhead presses completely vertical by...

    Injured shoulder

    I'd make an appointment with you doctor to make sure if it is actually tendonitis. It could also be many other things, or maybe it just needs more rest. It could be a pulled/torn ligament. It could even be a calcium deposit in your shoulder joint (my mother has this from years working as a...

    Workout check in

    Completed a sweat drenching combo of Step Moves and MMA Kickbox. I absolutely loooove the new shock cardio dvds, even though i think the hook punch is the nemesis of my left arm....Right arm is perfect, left arm keeps trying to knock myself out! I won this round though, we'll see how it goes...

    I've got terrible knee pains

    Not Cathe, but from my experience it sounds like maybe you are forming some tendonitis around the knees. It's very easy to do with overuse. I got this from being overzealous in step workouts (couldn't bend my knees to sit!) and unfortunately, according to my doctor, the only way to make it go...

    young girls and a cleanser

    I second the Mary Kay Velocity series. Mary Kay also has specific skin type items as well. Like the acne treatment gel for spot treatment, which i swear by!
