    Any suggestions

    Yes, as the above poster says except: remember that with S&H you may require some very heavy weights. Can you travel with 20s and 25s (dumbells)? Clare

    Exercising sore muscles

    What constitutes "too much" depends upon the individual and your personal energy levels due to other commitments in your life. If you find yourself getting overtired, hurting muscles all the time, energy drained and feeling like you don't want to work out but forcing yourself to keep going...

    Any suggestions

    Actually this includes most of Cathe's weight work, and even when she does use the stability ball, you can modify the moves to do the same without the ball or do another exercise that you know for that body part. You could do the Pyramid workouts, and do the modifications without the ball for...

    Have you seen this? Bush taking blame.

    It's inadequate. He takes responsibility only for the "response" to the disaster not for backing policies which permit the environmental destruction which permitted the effects of Katina to be as horrendous as they have been. Until you look at why disasters happen, i.e., the cause, not...

    Cardio Suggestions

    Step Blast Imax 2 KPC All these will give you a run for your money, include greater music and are just the best that Cathe has produced. Clare

    Deodorant?

    Lady Mitchum daily. I never have trouble with this one. I still stink after a Cathe cardio session, but during normal daily activities, eben in 90 degree weather, I am stink free. Clare

    Question of Age

    I couldn't be bothered with devising strategies for this or wise cracks as self defence. I am proud of when I had my daughters. I will gladly volunteer the information that I married with a 6 month pregnant belly. So what? I 'aint got nuthin to hide, nuthin to be ashamed of. Clare

    I'm getting a new hip!

    Dave: this is excellent news. I had no idea you were poorly. It must have been so frustrating to not be able to run and workout like you used to. Aaaargh! XC skiing is one of the best workouts out there. That is a great goal to keep in mind during your months of down time. I am...

    How to eat to build muscle/definition on a lanky body?

    Marcy: I don't think you need any special eating plan. Just make sure you have a serving of quality protein at each meal and maybe a protein bar for a snack if hungry during the day. This is all I do and I manage to add muscle onto my lanky frame! Clare

    POWER HOUR or Pyramid U&L Body - Which one would you bu...

    Pyramids hands down. If you get MIS also, you are basically getting the same thing again: an endurance total body workout. There are many who love BodyMax. I don't. The bpm is too fast and I injured myself doiung this workout. The end of it is more endurance weight training for the upper...

    BRITISH PASSPORT

    I have not heard of this and judging by how both countries feel about sovereignty, I seriously doubt it could ever happen. My daughter was born here of British parents. She has to have separate UK and US passports. What is wrong with that? She has 2 nationalities after all. Personally, I...

    How do you snap out of a funk?

    I agree with Nancy completely, totally and absolutely! As Nancy does, I let it run its course. Funks have their own shelf life and then you know when it's time to get your rear in gear again. And as Nancy says, I know I've reached that point when self pity and misery and feeling like s**t...

    antidepressants

    Hi Lisa: I am taking Celexa and I do well with it. It is the only drug in the SSRI's that I can tolerate. It does take a few weeks before you feel normal after you start taking it. I never had trouble sleeping, the opposite: it made me drowsy. I never had weight gain either. I take it...

    What is your ideal vs. realistic weight?

    I am sure according to weight charts I should be heavier. My parents and family certainly like me heavier, they think I look better that way, that I look heavier. Certainly 2 months after giving birth to my first child I was still heavier than my norm, about two dress sized larger than my...

    What is your ideal vs. realistic weight?

    You are doing fabulously well. Heaviest has nothing to do with it: I reckon you've achieved the most already! Good luck as you continue on your road to great health. Clare

    Pure Strength "Strong Legs and Abs" - VHS version

    RE: Pure Strength I confirm the above viewpoints. Music does not overpower Cathe's voice on VHS. Clare

    Who is A Night Owl?

    Yep, that's me. Always has been. At college my bedtime was always 3am and rising time at 11am. I don't see what the problem is: you still live your day, just at a different time from anybody else. When my husband takes the kids on vacation, I fall straight back intothat same routine which...

    Is this normal? And who should I listen to?

    As a paying patient you definitely have the right to refuse to be seen by her and to request an alternative therapist. I would exercise that right immediately. Tell them that after treatment by her your foot swelled and was more painful than ever before. That should alert them, because these...

    New to Cathe need Help !!!!

    Actually, I think your best bet is to buy a series that includes a variety of workouts and which you can use to create your own workout sequence throughout the week. I would start with the Body Blast series. It includes a full step routine, Step Blast, which is one of Cathe's best in my...

    Barbell System Class - want to start teaching - can your recommend dvds/videos

    Try Cathe's Power Hour, I believe it's based on the body pump concept. All her DVDs use the barbell more or less. PLB (Pyramid Lower Body) uses it throughout and is a different style to Power Hour completely. Clare
