    Back to Chicago - Our Next Offsite Road Trip?

    Hi Rhonda, They have the dates listed as Thursday through Sunday, but the event generally runs Friday through Sunday morning. So you really could just book the two nights to cut cost a bit. Something to think about. Hope to see you there ;)

    IPhone app?

    Hi Cher, Use the phone's web browser to go to Cathe.com website. Click into the forums. You will most likely get a pop up asking if you want the app installed as soon as you try to get into forums. If you don't get the pop up then click the link at the top of the forum page that says "Get...

    Cycle Workouts - Do I need a Spin cycle?

    I've seen some people mention that they've followed along on a stationary bike or treadmill, but to get the full effect you would really need a spin bike. Spin bikes have heavy fly wheels and tension knobs that allow for fast sprints and standing work. The stationary bike wouldn't have these so...

    Need some advice!

    It's really easy to get caught up in a situation where you feel "bad" about sticking up for youself for fear of causing tension. The reality is that you are providing them with a service and deserve to be paid appropriately for it. Do you keep any kind of record book, etc for hours worked...

    How to get Muscle Definition in my arms

    Hi Mariposa, I suppose that the actual amount of cardio that the body can handle before it starts to break down muscle mass is a little bit different for everyone, but for me personally, I find short bursts of intense training are better when my focus is lifting to build and tone. I do 20-30...

    How to get Muscle Definition in my arms

    I always struggled with gaining significant mass and/or definition in my arms. I would get definition in my abs, legs would increase in size and strength, but I always felt like my arms were just skinny. I would lift steady and heavy and still... saw nothing. It was only after I took a good...

    Can anybody help re: strength training?

    For the most part, the answer to all of your questions is preference preference preference, with the exception of resting muscle groups. Each muscle group worked does need adequate rest, especially when doing heavy lifting sessions. Whether you hit a specific muscle group once or twice a week is...

    Please talk to me about nutrition/diet & why weights are good for women.

    For me healthy eating is about training the brain to enjoy things in their natural state. The more junk you eat the more junk you'll want to eat. Mentally you need to be ready to suffer for a little bit of time while your brain detoxes from all the added sugar, salt and greasy saturated fats...

    Anyone have Ryka Assist XT 2?

    There are a few places that still have some transpires. I pasted the finishline link below, but also saw them on amazon, shoes.com, shoebuy.com. I wish Ryka would stop switching styles on me like this. They don't even give me time to find a new favorite. I'm interested in trying the new...

    Sizing for Ryka's

    I think jai wore the Ryka Synergy in that one. They run a little wider than some of the other rykas (just for measure) :) Jenn

    Anyone have Ryka Assist XT 2?

    The assist xt 2 is my favorite of all time and I'm still clinging to two pairs that really need to be retired at this point. I've started wearing the Ryka transpire (on my third pair). Not quite as awesome, but I'm comfortable with them and feel like I have the support I need. Jenn

    Shoe in HS

    Hi Renee, I think that the sneaker you are referring to may be the Ryka Studio Flex (picture attached) . Unfortunately it's not the easiest sneaker to find at the moment. I do like the Ryka Transpire as well. It has nice cushion and good lateral support.

    Can't Seem To Get Started.

    Everyone here has given great advice! I'll throw in this- visit the Cathe forums everyday or at least on days when you are feeling like you need extra motivation! Sometimes you can feed off the motivation of others when you feel like you are sliding in the wrong direction. The...
