Yikes! I just read that the suggestion file was accidentally retired! Well, then, I am pitching this idea TWICE here. :7 Thanks!

Cathe, allow me to speak up here and lobby for a stretching/flexibility tape... PLEASE MAKE ONE. :-) I think you'd do a great job at a thorough body stretch. If you put it on DVD the chaptering would make it possible for us to pick out stretches for lower- and upper-body soreness...

Okay, listen up. You are an athlete now, and an athlete needs to take care of herself. You need to find a sports doctor, one who specializes in orthopedic and sports medicine. You want to find one sympathetic to weight-trainers, so ask around. You might even call some local health clubs...

Okay, does it hurt after your workout is over? Or do you only feel pain when you are lifting? When you lift things outside of a workout (a pot off the stove, a grocery bag by the handles, etc.) do you feel pain? When you feel this pain, is on the inside of the elbow or on the outside?

RE: Stupid question I always rest on Saturdays, so I automatically rearrange Cathe's rotations with the "Off" days at the end of the week. Then I do the rotations in the order posted. (Okay, okay, I TRY to do them in the order posted!) For me, the rotation would look like this (note that...

As I recall, Cathe said NOT to do them back-to-back. I usually put two or three days between them. Power Circuit is a great leg workout, btw! Lots of fun and boy, does your butt hurt the next day!

RE: you know what they say Did you see the movie "Shallow Hal"? It's a very funny movie and Robbins has a small but pivotal part in it... he does a reasonable job in it. They make a few comments about his size, especially his hands! The guy must be at least 7 feet tall! At any rate, I...

Yaaay, Cathe! You are one classy lady! I had a feeling he was just the type of guy who likes to stir things up a little. ;-)

I'm not the Divine Ms. C but until she sees your post I will ask you some questions: Are you thoroughly warmed up before stretching? Do you stretch very well? Maybe you should add some quadriceps and hamstrings stretches to your workout (in addition to the ones you already do). Are...

All Step is actually part of a 6-tape set called "Cross Train Express" and I found it more difficult than the other 5 in that set. I think Step Heat is a good one to start with to teach you Basic Cathe, but you'll have to order it through Cathe's catalog or buy it used off of eBay.

RE: Yes! There are also step-ups in Pure Strength Strong Legs and Abs and in Leaner Legs. I always used my Firm tall step to do those even when a lower step is shown.

I do my leg presses with the 14" box I've been using for Firm leg presses since 1995. I use it for Cathe's leg presses in Leaner Legs and PS SL&A. I always heavy up on the leg presses, too. On PLB I've been doing 30 - 35 - 40. I think you just need to keep working on it. Right now I can...

I had this problem with Leaner Legs. The first time I did it I couldn't make it through the warm-up! The squats and lunges killed me! I had to do the tape with no weights at all. After a few tries I finally got through it weightless so I added weights, a little at a time. For a long time...

I just wanted to add that I've been doing CTX (pretty much as Cathe made it) for the last few weeks. I didn't double-up on body parts, or just do all upper body one day or anything like that, just worked one title a day six days in a row. I started it as a kind of "vacation" because I got a...

I can't cheat. I can't tell myself I'll just have "just one taste" of ice cream, for example, because then I obsess over the whole carton. Once I started low-carbing I stopped eating sugar and white flour and my sugar cravings stopped! So it's not difficult to live without cheating. I...

I ADORE Brenda. She's just like me: she laughs and has a good time, and sometimes she messes up her steps. She seems like the cool lady I want to be (biceps included).
