    Motivation Post Baby

    Hi! I think that if you could work out first thing in the morning, before your day gets away from you, you might be able to get into a routine. I used to LOVE to work out in the morning, even though it meant getting up at 4am, because since the day hadn't started, there was nothing going on yet...

    Urgent Question re: Metabolism

    I can't answer your question, but I am sure curious about your results, too! So, once he was done with the test, did he just give you your numbers and send you home? Or can something be done to get your numbers in line with what he thinks they should be? Veronica

    How many calories burned?

    I think that's about right! Lisa, I agree with you...250 sounds about right. I have to remember that all it takes is a candy bar to undo all the calories expended during that workout. That's why clean eating is so critical. Definitely something I have to work on! :) Veronica

    How many calories burned?

    I know that Cathe addressed this question, but I searched and searched and couldn't come up with the post I had in mind. There are some websites that talk about calories burned per minute...here's one: http://www.elibydesign.com/wellness/htmls/exercise/caloriesburned.html Maybe you will have...

    Pic of the Day, 6-24-01

    Cathe, you look awesome! Absolutely inspiring! This picture is the boost I've needed. I have been so good about working out, but not so good about eating right. Clean eating begins today! Veronica

    MIS question

    I do use less weight with MIS than I do with the PS series. Could you save the chest work for the end, since that fatigues you the most? I know it might be a hassle fast forwarding and rewinding, unless you have the DVD, but maybe you could give it a try. Veronica

    Cathe Video help??

    What a great explanation! Wow! What a great explanation of the differences in the various workouts! When Cathe said that there's gonna be 6 min and 30 seconds of lunges in Power Hour, my legs started quivering already! Oh, how I dread lunges!!! Veronica

    What's YOUR "Day Job"?

    I am a Payroll Administrator(CPP) for a manufacturing firm in San Diego. Love my job, but the hour long commute stinks. I get in early so that I can leave at 4pm. By 5:30, I am at home and working out. I would rather work out in the morning, but I have to get up and out the door by 6, so it...

    Hi, Collette! Welcome! I just had to answer, because I, too, sometimes suffer from mild depression, and working out, and lurking on these boards, has been a lifesaver. Veronica

    cement floor

    Hi Nancy! I am using the dense foam mats. I ordered enough for an 8 by 6 foot area, as I didn't have room for the 10 by 10. I find that the 8 by 6 is just fine...I don't come off of the mat during any of the Cathe videos that I have. They are nice, because they assemble like a jigsaw...

    cement floor

    Check out www.greatmats.com I have a tile floor in the room I workout in, and I put these mats down and it makes it so much better. I know that it is still not great to have a cement or a tile floor, but what can we do about that? My husband said he saw the mats advertised at Home Depot for...

    Survived MIC!

    Good for you! I still haven't done MIC. I keep looking at the preview video, but I haven't brought myself to order it yet. One of these days, I'll go for it. I always forget that I can always modify. (Does sitting on the couch and just watching it count as modifying, because that I could...

    Fit/Shape Magazine

    RE: Fit and Shape About a year ago, one of the mags I subscribe to had an article about women who weigh 140 (or maybe it was 145). It showed pictures of a variety of women with different body types that happened to weigh the same. I think it was meant to show that we shouldn't get hung up on a...

    Mega Step Blast?

    Hi NicoleP! For sure you will get there!!!! You're on the right track...a little more each time. I still do that with some of the videos. Don't compare yourself to anyone else here, just challenge yourself, and measure your progress against yourself. (I need a thesaurus..I used "yourself"...
