    who quit coffee for green tea?

    I don't like coffee so it is easy for me to drink tea, green and otherwise. :p Green teas can differ in taste, just like black teas. Try several. My favorites are in the gunpowder family, but I also like other china greens. Japanese senchas, etc., not as much. Green teas can be very grassy...

    Supreme 90 day: Who has tried this?

    For me, the weight workouts are no go's because of the pacing issue. I just won't use them. However, I think the cardio and core work are definitely worth the price of admission. I had essentially stopped doing core work after reading about all the negative effects crunches can have on your...

    Weights needed for STS?

    That should work for meso 1, but don't be surprised if you need heavier weights for mesos 2 and 3. I wouldn't skimp on buying the iron if you want maximum results. A barbell can be a good investment because of the flexibility of making different weights. If your goal is to build muscle, try...

    Mesoscycle 3-leg question

    That should work. I would probably go a bit lighter on the leg exercises in plyo legs, just for variety.

    STS Delivers!

    This has been my experience, too. I really layered on the muscle by using STS. I am not blessed with your slim build, but the muscle-building worked through STS better than anything I have done in the past 25 years!

    Workout Blender problem

    Okay, I figured it out. I didn't realize you can open any file and drag from there. I thought they had to be in a special place! :o Off to try the blender!

    Workout Blender problem

    Hi guys, When I installed the workout blender, I don't think I pointed it to the correct location of my Cathe downloads. Now when I open the workout blender, I don't get of listing of all my Cathe downloads that are on my computer (actually, I have them on a remote drive). I cannot figure...

    Is the Turbo Tower sold out?

    Thanks, I will look at those. I was hoping to use my $100 credit for winning the recipe of the week, but I could always use that for something else!

    Healthy weight range

    I am 5' 6 1/2" like a previous poster. For the longest time I was stable at 145 lbs. In my avatar I am about 44 and at that weight. That weight was ok, but I really wanted a more ripped look, hey, I work hard for all that muscle mass, I want to be able to see it! So I recently lost 10 lbs...

    Is the Turbo Tower sold out?

    Tracy, Thanks for looking into that for me. DH wanted one for Christmas and that's what I get for not ordering it sooner! I guess it will be a valentine's gift or similar.

    Is the Turbo Tower sold out?

    I was planning to get a turbo tower and it is not showing up in the Cathe store. Does anyone know if it is sold out right now?

    Weight gain but not inches..?

    I used MFP recently to successfully lose 12 lbs. What I found is that I need to be brutally honest in my logging both food and exercise. The weight actually slid off quite easily and I am at a "difficult" time in life, supposedly, for losing weight - perimenopausal. If you are being brutally...

    Cycle Max!

    I found this one to be very challenging as well. I have done some Cardio Coach, but the ones I have are just 30-35 minutes and do not have that jumping up and down out of the saddle. Tough! It will take a few trys to get this one "right!" Low impact, high intensity at it's best, for sure...

    Your age/your workout pace??

    I am 48 and find the main difference for me is how often I can do high impact. I try not to do high impact more than twice a week so my knees and wonky SI joint stay happy. In other areas I just keep getting stronger and stronger - push-ups come to mind. As we age, maintaining muscle mass is...

    quick reference card for new LIS series!!!

    Thank you very much. Since I got the downloads, those do not come with premixes, so now I can at least have an idea of what those are! Very helpful!!

    Precision Nutrition or Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat

    You might also consider Clean Eating magazine. It's a bit different than having a book, but Reno does provide 2 week eating plans that might be quite useful if you don't want to count calories. I recommend at least grabbing a copy from your local library or going on the website where I think...

    Cord to hook Iphone to tv?

    If you go the HDMI route and need a cable, look for it on Amazon. I bought the one that is quite inexpensive and it works just fine. You can spend less than $5 for this item. The cable from Apple you need is $39, but all in all you can get set up for less than $50.

    How do I reduce soreness?

    I notice this mostly with the leg workouts in Meso 1. Usually by the end of the Meso, my legs are not nearly as sore as in that first week. I think it is the gliding disc exercises. I am hoping the new series will address that by getting my legs more used to that movement and then they won't...

    Meso 3 plyo legs replacement ?

    Can you wear a weight vest and hold as heavy a weight in your hands as possible? If the point of Meso 3 is to build strength by doing 8 reps at your heaviest weight possible, there really isn't a substitute for that in Cathe's repertoire. Anything else you are doing is hypertrophy (possibly)...
