    Put on the muscle?

    Hi Maribeth: And I thought you were a Cathe expert! :) Don't worry about my question if the answer isn't immediately clear. Basically, by endurance I imagine you mean higher reps and lower weights, right? Looking through the Cathe site, I think I've figured out that Power Hour or Circuit Max...

    Put on the muscle?

    Thanks for all the info Maribeth. Which Cathe tapes would you consider for endurance work? I've been doing a weekly routine of S&H Legs and Shoulders/Cardio/S&H Chest and Back/S&H Biceps and Triceps/Cardio/MIS/Rest. Would that fit your scheme of one day heavy/one day endurance? Or should I...

    Cathe: Can we have interviews please?

    It would be cool to see bloopers or clips from the making of the video.

    S&H Dumbell Wt size?

    Hi Pammer: I just started Slow and Heavy this week. Yesterday I did Legs and Shoulders and used a 40 pound barbell and a 30 pound dumbell for the legs, and a range of dumbells for the shoulders, from my 1.5 pound wrist weights for the rotator cuff exercise, to about 12 pounds for the overhead...

    Good Hi/Lo Vids?

    I think Franny Benedetto's stuff is pretty comparable to Cathe.

    Gym vs Home Workouts

    I've been thinking the same thing, wondering if I should join the gym to use the machines. I don't have a spotter, so it would be impossible for me to do squats with anything heavier than 40-50 pounds (if that). Eventually don't you outgrow free weights?

    Veg & Fruit Impaired???

    I agree with Starbuck. You can get lots of veggies in if you add them to pasta sauces, curries, soups, salads, etc. I keep a supply of small cans of vegetables in my cupboard for this purpose. Another good way is to mix up a bunch of canned veggies with a low-fat salad dressing and maybe some...

    Diet pills

    Xenadrine and supplements like it contain herbal forms of ephedra, which can kill you. I suggest you do some research before considering taking a diet supplement. Here are some articles from WebMD: http://my.webmd.com/content/article/2731.1669 http://my.webmd.com/content/article/3079.737

    IMAX lovefest, anyone?

    I've had IMAX sitting on my shelf for months, too scared to try it. But last week I did it for the first time (it was on a 4" step with a few modifications, but by golly I did it) and I have to say I'm beginning to see why everyone loves it so much. Something about those rests between the...

    Why do I keep gaining weight??

    I'm not Cathe, but... Have you seen a doctor? Maybe there is a medical reason for your weight gain, like a thyroid problem.

    Opinions of CTX Upper body

    Those tricep pushups are insane. I have a notebook where I write down the weights I use and when it came to those pushups I just wrote "oh, come on!" :)

    Fitness as a hobby

    Wow, it's great to see that you all feel the same way I do about exercise. It used to be that when people asked me what my hobby was I'd mumble something like, "uh, I dunno, watching movies?" I never understood how people could be so into something that they'd spend all their time on it. That...

    Opinions of CTX Upper body

    This is a great video -- really really hard, but very comprehensive. Your arms will be very wobbly afterwards. Lynda, I've been doing a similar rotation to yours for the past couple of weeks and I'm seeing serious improvements in my strength and definition: Sunday: 1/2 hour cardio (CTX) and...

    CIA Series.......any thoughts on these?

    I don't know if I'd recommend them over Cathe, but Franny Benedetto's CIA workouts are great! She's a great instructor with a warm personality and a knack for fun choreography.
