Another vote for Bridges of Madison County. This is the only movie at which I've ever sobbed openly. I was sorry I saw it in the theater because it was so quiet and I didn't hear anyone else crying like I was.

I think "Meaner Legs" has the reputation of being Cathe's toughest leg workout, but that opinion may change after we all get a load of Legs and Glutes. Angela

"skinny" fat Hi Roylene, I always hesitate to post in this forum because it's supposed to be reserved for Cathe's replies, but this topic is a pet subject of mine. Aside from discussions of "skinny" and "fat," it's entirely possible to have a low body weight and still be very unfit. It took...

My college roommate, freshman year (1984) made me do Joannie Greggins workout on an LP with her early in the morning before classes. I hate working out when I first roll out of bed and I hated this workout. I can still remember some of her silly comments: "That bologna sandwich has to go...

My worst hunger was when I was on prednisone. Increased appetite is one of its side effects. I was hungry all the time. When I went to bed at night, I'd be thinking about what I could have for breakfast! And of course, I couldn't get enough of the high carb stuff. Under normal circumstances...

Balance Bar makes a chocolate mint that tastes just like GS Thin Mints to me! It makes a healthier alternative to all those cookies.

Same here. Generic black and white label, no intro to the workout and the tape quality is bad. I just chalked it up to being a "freebie" version that came with my step. Angela

RE: My new lab Congratulations, Barbara! Labs are wonderful dogs!

Here's an update! I did PLB Friday night. When I was done, I dragged out my new step and popped in All Step. I spent about 45 minutes going over and over the first and second combos! It's kind of addictive - you keep thinking, "OK. I'm going to rewind and try this one more time..." :7 I...

RE: Opinions Someone ought to tell the M&F Hers folks to check out this thread if they want some valuable feedback. It looks like they're going to lose a lot of subscribers.

I'm a designer - Web and print. Growing up, I drew on everything I could get my hands on, so I didn't have any trouble choosing a career. I've worked at prepress, publishing companies, ad agencies and Web firms, but last summer I found my current spot as a designer for our state Game & Fish...

Hi Leslie, I have some days that I feel this way, too. Sounds like you've had a rough time lately. Do you have a light intensity, fun workout you can do? Something that will get you up and moving and be enjoyable? Sometimes I find I feel better once I've gotten about five or ten minutes into...

Thanks, Cathe! I'll keep working on All Step. I may just tack on a half hour of step practice after my usual strength workouts. Oh, boy! My first personal response from Cathe!:7

I'm one who does pyramid up only. Doing pyramid up only allows me to lift heavier and make the workout more strength than endurance. I've seen this approach recommended for people who have a hard time gaining muscle. If I push myself and lift as heavy as possible on the third set, I feel like...

Slow and Heavy Hi Clare, I agree that S&H seems to be the overall winner for mass building. I'm doing a rotation now that uses the upper body tapes. I've been struggling lately with my lower body workouts. For some reason, lunges were really bothering me. And it's hard for me to go heavy...

RE: Opinions of the Well, it looks like I'm not alone in longing for the old M&F Hers. I'm glad I started this thread. I thought the new look was the result of overwhelming response to their readers' survey, but judging from the reactions here, looks like they've shot themselves in the foot...

RE: I found Snowbees age poll question very interesting. It looks like most of the people on the forum here are in there 30s. Now I am curious to know what age you were when you started using Cathe? I I'm 37. I first started working out consistently with the original Firms when I was mid 20s. I...

Have you tried pushups using dumb bells as push up handles? Cathe suggests this in one of her workouts. This helps me alot. Cathe suggests doing this with hex shaped dumb bells, not round, for stability.

Yea! The 30 Somethings are winning the poll! Angela Who's 37...

I've been using Cathe's strength tapes for quite a while, but had never done any of her cardio besides Boot Camp. DH bought me a step and I was very pleasantly surprised when I pulled it out of the box and Cathe's CTX All Step fell out! After I finished my scheduled strength training, I...
