Hey Bobbi, I can identify. In junior high, I had to wear a dress to school one day - horrors -- and I actually had a girl following me down the hall pointing and laughing and yelling "chicken legs!" loud enough for the entire school to hear. I have yet to live that down. I've been...

Have you tried looking around online for a better price? Sometimes you can get a whole lot better deal than what you find in your local stores. Angela

I think this one might take the place of Meaner Legs as the toughest, will-it-ever-end leg workout. I wouldn't use the weight under the foot unless you have hex shaped weights. I found it helpful to position the side of my foot against the outer disk of the dumbbell instead of putting it in...

Hey Janice, I agree; I'll certainly hang on to the workouts and use them periodically, but I may have to be brave, turn off the DVD player and start doing some heavy lifting on my own. We have a Total Gym that allows me to do some cool stuff I can't do with free weights - like pull ups - so I...

Amen, Carol. I did the Firm for years without much visible result. Imagine my surprise when I was leaning/bracing my left arm on the bathroom counter one day while brushing my teeth and lo and behold -- visible tricep definition in the mirror! Now I love wearing sleeveless stuff! :7 I second...

I got inspired last night and did Chest and Back first, then shoulders. I pushed myself really heavy. Hubby got me some cool new adjustable dumbell sets for X-mas, so I was able to go heavier than I ever have. I use the SH series like the pyramids: first set medium weight, second set heavy...

Hey Janice, I can identify with what you're saying. My problem is I'm a hardgainer and the slow/heavy, one or two body parts a day approach seems to be the only way I can make any muscle gains. I love Cathe's workouts and it's been really hard for me to admit to myself that total body...

I didn't have a problem doing them all in a row, but I like to put the Legs and Shoulders between the Chest/Back and Bis/Tris. If I have time, sometimes I do shoulders with one of the other two, then use the SH Legs with PLB floor work tacked onto the end for an all lower body day between the...

Glad to see I'm not the only Slow and Heavy fan! I also like the three day split instead of upper and lower body. Gives you more time to work on a specific area. The only other Cathe series like this is Pure Strength, so I'm hoping it's time for another! :D

"I can't believe that I really am looking forward to working out today, that has never happened to me before!" Isn't that a great feeling? I used to dread working out and made up excuses not to. Now, I look forward to it all during the day and plan my workouts a week or two ahead of time...

I'd like to propose another Slow and Heavy series for those of us that are focusing on HEAVY weight lifting for maximum muscle building. There's just no topping the slower tempo and only working a couple of body parts per day to totally fatigue the muscle. I read some interesting research...

It's unfortunate that a guy's sex drive peaks so early and ours tend to peak much later. I've recently noticed a renewed interest (I'm 37) that I've chalked up to a number of things including improved health and improved physical shape - feeling better about my body definitely helped me...

This isn't a Cathe workout, but I'd highly recommend Lotte Berk's High Round Assets. Yowza!

Hi Sasha, I've been thinking about trying Creatine myself. I'm a ectomorph that has a really hard time gaining muscle. You might find this article about muscle building supplements interesting...

I love the Slow & Heavy series, but then I'm a hardgainer.

Check out "The False Fat Diet" by Elson Haas - it's a real eye opener for anyone who struggles with bloating. Here's an excerpt from the Amazon review: If you know you swell up after bee stings, you avoid bees. If you know a close encounter with poison ivy will leave you itching and...

Sometimes he'll say one of Cathe's lines a beat or two before she says it. That doesn't bother me as much as him relaxing and eating something that smells good while I'm sweatin' and starvin'. It was kinda funny, though, when Cathe says, "You didn't pause your VCR and go make popcorn, did...

I have to work out in my living room, too. My husband will kick back in his recliner with a bag of microwave popcorn or a bag of Doritos and watch me with this bored expression on his face. He's done this often enough that he has some of Cathe's comments memorized. He always refuses if I invite...

I *never* venture into the FitMoms area, Briee, but for YOU, I had to be brave. Wow! What a fan club you've got here! That's wonderful. Just wanted you to know your ecto buddy is thinking of you. Hope we'll hear the good news soon! Angela:7
