    You're right Nathalie - I didn't know about that premix on the Pyramid disk. I'm adding that one too. I think I'll do it on Saturday and let you know what I thought of it. Thanks!

    FlexTrain

    I saw the new post on Facebook for this workout and I'm really looking forward to it. I've been reviewing all of my Cathe DVDs for high rep total body workouts, and I could only find two (High Reps and Muscle Endurance). So I'm glad to be adding another high rep workout to this collection...

    Yet Another Insanity Thread

    Hi Elsie, I tried doing Insanity and lasted 4 weeks. Here's the pros: 1. I like Shaun T. I didn't find him annoying - he does yell a little, but generally he's a good motivator. He does most of the program, but does stop occasionally to point out form and encourage the people in the...

    Shaun T Focus T25

    I tried Insanity and made it through the first 3 weeks and got a little bored with the repetition. Wonder if these workouts will be different. What I'm really looking forward to are Cathe's new dvds coming out in the summer. I've already pre-ordered those, so I think I'll just stick with my...

    Hi Toni - I haven't tried kale chips, but just eat fresh kale in my omelettes etc. But I'm wondering, have kale chips been sprinkled with msg? That can make you hungry.

    Cathe TV is back..what would u like to see?

    Hi Cathe! I agree with Renee - I'd like to see a segment on muscles, i.e. which muscles you're working during a particular move, where you should be feeling it, and if you aren't feeling it then how to make the adjustment so that you are. For example, when you're doing a front lunge...

    !!!!! Weightloss challenge for December :)

    Hi girls - today is my rest day (not planned, but I was too tired this morning and slept past my 5:15 alarm). That's ok though. Elle - I'm also trying to increase my protein and decrease carbs. My current "macros" are 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat. I find it takes a little more planning...

    Hi everyone: This morning was 4DS Higher Intensity with weights. I'm on my final week of 4DS and am thinking of doing a couple weeks of STS Meso 2 then a couple weeks of STS Meso 3. Someone just lent me Insanity. I'm contemplating starting it, but a little hesitant cause I love Cathe so...

    !!!!! Weightloss challenge for December :)

    Hi everyone! Glad to hear you're all keeping on track with the workouts! My weekend was without internet/phone & t.v. It happened Friday night, and wasn't fixed until Sunday. So no checking in for me. On Saturday my eating was off the rails. Seriously. I kept thinking "why can't I stop...

    Hi everyone! Hey Tina!! That's awesome to hear you're feeling so good. Did I read your last post correctly? Aren't you supposed to be taking a few days off? I can understand how hard it is though to take time off especially when you're feeling so good. So what do you think is helping you...
