Did your vet prescribe k/d because your cat actually has kidney failure? If so, you should really check with them because your cat may truly need a low-protein kidney diet. You might want to ask for Purina NF, another prescription diet. In my experience, cats seem to prefer it.

Oh, never mind. I'm glad the problem is solved. I'm glad the kids were reunited with their pup! :D

You should keep her! (Ahem--pitties are my favorite). Is she kenneled outside? I would not leave her leashed/loose out there. I would try to find the owner; but it certainly could be an unwanted puppy from an "accidental" litter--I'm in the vet field, and it is all too common. As...

Zellybelly, I am also very uncoordinated and do not typically enjoy traditional step workouts. However, "athletic-style" step workouts do not have the learning curve of dancier step workouts and don't require the same amount of coordination. The moves are usually pretty simple (not easy) and...

I have never been distracted by the low-impact modifier when I've done other workouts that have them. And, I found it helpful to follow along with them after I had an injury where I could only do low-impact work. Prior to that, I had never had to modify, so I found it helpful that they were...

I think it's great that you respected your body. We all have days like this. I couldn't finish one of the Meso 1 leg workouts because I was simply exhausted that day, but there would not have been any point in forcing myself to finish, because the risks outweigh the benefits when you're...

I would say if the "to failure" set were truly easy, then you may be going too light (like if it took 25 reps to get there). But I would think that anywhere up to 20 or so reps is reasonable. I'm sure the "too failure" sets will vary for us from day to day, as some days we feel really strong...

I did disc 16 2 days ago and LOVED it. I really enjoyed my first week of Meso 2--I think I have some new favorite Cathe workouts. I had just the right amount of DOMs--soreness to tell me I had worked hard, but I wasn't incapacitated. :eek: The deadlifts KILLED my forearms, and I could...

I strongly suspect that you are hunching or tensing your shoulders during the exercises. This could stem from using weights that are too heavy, leading you to tense your shoulders and neck and use momentum from other areas to lift the weights. Try using weights that are a couple of pounds...

You could do some pinky curls with them. That might make them feel better. :D

Whoops, I see this question has already been addressed. Never mind!

A standing ab routine would be cool, but you will probably be getting a pretty good standing ab workout doing MMA. I use to MMA/Muay Thai and my abs were in great shape, because your abs are involved in stabilization during kicks and punches.

I just did this one today and I barely have the strength to type! I LOVED it. I think I will enjoy Mesos 2 and 3 more than Meso 1 (although they were still excellent workouts). I like the slower pace of the really heavy-weight workouts. Disc 13 was very doable, yet left my muscles very...

Of course I just pre-ordered; how can I resist? :) I was wondering if there will be shorter premixes with these workouts; it would be a great timesaver!

My dog doesn't seem especially interested when I work out, but my 10-month-old kitten loves it. She swats at the barbell and my band, and she tries to "play" with Cathe and crew on the TV. She likes to try to bat at the resistance bands that Cathe uses and goes to the TV screen and touches the...

Uh, yeah, I'm looking forward to not doing them for a while! I doubt you would lose all of your strength and have to revert to modified push-ups. You could always add some if you want!

Wow, Dela, congrats on your awesome results so far!

Not Cathe, but yes, taking sips of water will keep your muscles nice and hydrated, which will help ensure adequate blood flow and oxygenation. Aim for about 8 oz. per 10-15 minutes of exercise for proper hydration (indoors, comfortable temperature and humidity). Your fluid needs increase...

I fell a week behind :o due to "life" happening, but will be jumping back in with Disc 7 tomorrow. As always, I look forward to the BURN!

Thanks for the speedy replies! I will do week 3 this upcoming week and then do week 4, and then I will jump right to Mesocycle 2.
