    PS or Slow and Heavy?

    I vote for S&H. I just love it. Plus is also uses mostly dumbells for the upper body work. Andrea

    no...not now!!!

    I was pregnant when the CTX series came out. The good news is, that when you are able to get into the BodyBlasts they will still seem new when Cathe comes out with another set! Take care of yourself during your recovery time. This time next year it won't seem like it was all that bad! Andrea

    Run aground by a spin bike

    It also took me a bit to get used to the intensity of spinning. The good news is, I only spin once a week and it DID get better. Just yesterday I did Mental Toughness which is 90 minutes. I got such a high after finishing two sets of 90 second iso squats that are thrown in the middle of the...

    Las Vegas, here....

    Had to bring this back up! My computer has that virus and some other problem. Anyway, can't wait to see you! The 29th right?!? For some reason I wrote the 22nd on my calendar, but that can't be right. I'll try and call later. Andrea

    A work in progress....

    You are doing great Deborah. It's hard not to listen to doctors sometimes, when we know all the schooling they went to. I'm glad you listened to yourself. It's helpful to me to know that someone else has to do some things differently. I don't do deadlifts anymore due to a bad SI joint...

    What motivates you?

    Superfit people that don't look it. Right now Judy Molinar is very inspiring to me. You can't judge a book by it's cover. This lady has completed an Ironman! My very fit looking friend who never works out probably couldn't make it through a Cathe warmup. Andrea

    It is so, and my running has actually improved:-) When it gets closer we'll have to see if we can hook up somehow. Andrea

    Marathon training and dropping weights.....

    I have found that my legs can't handle weights AND running, if I am seriously training for something. I was training for races until last week and I took out lower body work. It worked wonders for me. I was able to run my miles and not feel totally dead afterwards. I have 8 weeks until I...

    Hey Debra Lester!! How About Lance!!

    I don't get a channel that covers the Tour De France. I was at my Dad's last night and he turned to his rodeo channel that he likes to watch. TDF was on and they both said "Oh, this is what I want to watch." "This is all they've been covering" and changed the channel. I was thinking, "I do...

    Diet for distance running?

    Diet-EAT! You need the calories. Carb intake should be on the high end. You also want to get in protein and fat though too. Nancy Clark has a great book about sports nutrition. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/104-9751353-4185531 Just the top two books. I've never...

    More B&TR questions

    Squats, lunges, and step ups all make my knees crackle and they sometimes are sore for a day afterwards. I mimicked the B&TR movement on my stability ball and there was no crackling. I'm wondering if this might be a better way for me to work my lower body. Do the quads get worked with this...

    Can you really inc. muscle size doing once a week?

    I can't validate the cardio question. As for increasing muscle size I'd have to go with YES! It is very hard for me to put on muscle. I noticed an increase with the S&H series and for some reason CTX. CTX is more endurance oriented, but for some reason it worked for me. I now do...

    Beginning runner needs advice- should I join a running group?

    If you really hate running I don't know if a running club would help. I like running and when I run with a running group it is much more fun. Even in a group though you may not find anyone that is the same pace as you. There are so many options out there, that if you hate running you can...

    Ball workouts: Stott's Core Balance

    How long is each video? Do they focus on core only or does it include the whole body? I've been looking into Pilates type stuff for the lower body. I took out lower body weights while doing my running. I feel like my legs could handle more, but not the heavy weights. My knees couldn't...

    Afraid of Imax extreme... anyone else?

    It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The original IMaxes were harder IMO. Andrea

    June Rotation

    RE: Hi Cathe! How did you incorporate Cathe into your race training? I'd be interested to see your schedule since I'm training for shorter races right now, but will training for a marathon this fall/winter. Yes Debbie! I'm so happy that you plan on doing that race. You'll be great! Let...
