    Hey coffee lovers

    Have to agree with this. Coffee is too refined a substance to muck it up with adding any flavourings at all. Disgusting! It might as well be a milk shake..... Clare -- coffee purist :)

    Ab hits? Should I order it?

    Yes, this would be a good addition to your program, as would Core Max. With these two DVDs, you would have a great many choices of core and ab work to do, with a complete range of exercise types including variations on traditional abs, planks with many variations, some pilates and yoga-inspired...

    Stressed out about Eating!

    In place of butter, I use either Olivio or Fleishmanns made with olive oil. I don't use mayo, except in egg salad sandwiches, and then I always use the low fat: same difference to me. Something else you might try and which I used to love when I lived in Spain: rather than use butter or any...

    Stressed out about Eating!

    Continuing in this vein is driving you to distraction. Stop counting calories, NOW! Of course you can have sandwiches, daily if you like. What on earth is wrong with a sandwich? I just don't get it. This "low carb" or even "no carb" craze is unhealthy. You take a couple of slices of...

    Strength or Endurance First?

    Well, I guess I disagree with the general trend here. Since muscle tissue burns more calories than other tissue and since heavy weight training helps the body burn calories for longer after the session finishes than any other form (comparing cardio with both endurance and heavy weight...

    Zappos.com?

    Love them! Used them twice, great service each time. Great customer care, fabulous quality boots, and I really like the fact that you can read other people's reviews of the item before buying, and also view the shoe/boot from many different angles so you can see what it would look like on your...

    What do you guys live for??

    Well, I am not hapy with my life right now, hate most of it in fact. What keeps me going are my two girls, celebrating their 9th and 12th birthdays this month. If it weren't for them, it wouldn't be worth chewing through the ties of my straight jacket every morning........! Clare

    It's an excellent workout and includes variety within just 28 minutes. The thing about the CTX cardios is that they are sshort so people expect them to be a walkover, Deceptive. They are still high intensity becasuse Cathe gets rid of any warm up cardio intro that she usually includes in a...

    step blast/imax 2

    Step Blast is an hour long step cardio routine, which features three routines gradually built up and then repeated 4 times to get your heart rate up, before moving onto the next. After learning and repeating all three sections, Cathe then puts the whole thing --all three routines-- together...

    Can you recommend some vegetarian cookbooks

    And for special occasions or special every day treats, invest in the Greens Cookbook from the Greens restaurant out of San Fran. Only veggie cook book I own. Oh, apart from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian or is it Eastern vegetarian cooking, which I have had for ages and have loved all the dishes I...

    Pure Strength and Slow & Heavy -- switch from vhs to dvd???

    Easy. You might do: day 1: S&H chest, back and triceps day 2: cardio day 3: S&H legs, shoulders and biceps day 4: cardio etc. I never do upper body on the same day as lower. So, this for me would remain a 3 day split. Often, I do chest, back, biceps and triceps on the...

    Step Fit and Step Works?

    Alternatively, put 2 of the CTX cardios back to back. An awesome cardio blast. My fave is All Step followed by Power Circuit. Clare

    Vegetarians and high protein diet....

    Count beans as a protein and fibre and iron source, not carbs. I eat loads of lentils. They are my staple protein. Yoiur best bet really is to invest in a book on vegetarian and vegan eating to find out which are the best sources. And also you will have to do more preparation in order...
