    Stretching at the end of a workout?

    Thanks for the replies. I remember reading some place on these forums (I don't remember where, it was a while ago), that the stretches that Cathe does at the end of her workouts, and even the ones on Stretch Max, don't hold stretches long enough to increase flexibility, and that if someone was...

    Stretching at the end of a workout?

    I'm hoping to get some opinions on just how important it is to stretch at the end of a workout. I always do the stretches, since they feel good and I feel like they're good for me, but my husband almost always skips his (we follow Cathe rotations and usually do the same videos each morning - I...

    Which Videos Should I Get?

    I totally am, and my credit card shows it! I'm pretty sure I won't be happy until I've got them ALL, so maybe I should just go ahead and get them all at once. But that would be another $300+...yikes!

    Which Videos Should I Get?

    This is my second month doing an "official" Cathe video rotation, and I'm loving it! Despite having received a HUGE order of her videos a couple of months ago, I'm noticing that I still have to sub for quite a few videos, so I'm thinking of placing another order soon...}( . I've already...

    Follow up for the Disney fans...

    Ha! I just finished this book a week or so ago, and agree with everything Jerry has said. It was a very interesting book, and I don't think I'll look at "Uncle Walt" quite the same ever again. I also know WAY more now about "Snow White" than I ever thought I would! :P

    September 07' Circuit City

    Thanks HPlectra! It sounds like it's one of those sneaky videos from way back. I'll just sub Step Blast for it. :-)

    September 07' Circuit City

    Glad I could help, Cathe! Ok, one more question. What is "Step Fit" on Thursday of the first week? I've never heard of that video, and I tried searching for it in the online store but didn't find anything. Whatever it is, would Step Blast be an okay replacement? Thanks again!

    September 07' Circuit City

    Wow, thanks Cathe! One quick question: In week four you list SJP/Step Blas "Weights and Step" Premix #23 for both Wednesday and Friday. Is that a mistake, or do you want us to do the same premix two days apart? Also, would LIC be an okay substitute for HSTA? Also, what is a good replacement...

    plantar's warts

    I had a terrible time with warts a few years ago. I had several clusters of them around my toes. I went to several doctors. They tried freezing them, putting some sort of bright purple medicine on them, all sorts of treatments. None of them worked. Finally, I had to be put under for laser...

    Acne anyone???

    I'm a huge fan of Proactive, myself. It has worked wonders for me! When you tried it, how long did you use it? Acne gets worse for the first 1-2 months then clears up as it pushes all the gunk out of your system. If you only tried it briefly you may have just been experiencing that initial...

    30 Day Veg Pledge

    My husband and I went veg (not vegan) a year ago this July after reading Skinny Bitch, and it's been much easier than either of us would've thought when we were meat-eaters. My advice is to make friends with the god-sends that are Morningstar, Boca, and Gardenburger. Some do things better than...

    anyone doing Cathe's August '07 rotation?

    My husband and I are both following this rotation, and both seeing results! Of course, it could be that this is the first Cathe rotation we've done and our body's are just responding well to the six day a week workouts. We're loving having a schedule to follow though! I just did Body Max 2...

    So You Think You Can Dance

    I'm fairly certain that Nigel is, or at least was, a ballroom dancer earlier in his career. I don't think Cat is a dancer, but hey, neither is Jerry Springer and he was able to get up in front of the country on Dancing with the Stars and do halfway decent. I guess I thought that Nigel was going...

    Congratulations! Have you set a date? You must be thrilled. :-)

    So You Think You Can Dance

    Was anyone else really annoyed that they hyped up, on both nights, Nigel and Cat dancing together and then gave us that stupid animated bit? We couldn't believe it! It would've been okay if they had just thrown it in, but they had to have mentioned it at least 5+ times leading up to it, and we...

    tae kwon do vs. karate?

    What about dance classes? Depending on the type of dance, it would likely be low-impact, plus it's a great calorie-burner, social, and a lot of fun! I've been wanting to try it out myself, but the rather high cost in my area has kept me from it so far. Yoga or Pilates might also be options if...

    So You Think You Can Dance

    My husband and I have watched all three seasons of this show, and this was our favorite so far (we even got tickets to the tour :P ). It's such a refreshing change after American Idol all spring, to see a show that is so all-around positive, and with such a high quality of talent. It's...

    What should I do?!?

    Get a Nintendo DS! I love mine. Very fun, especially the games they make for it that "train your brain", like Brain Age and Big Brain Academy. They can get pretty addictive.
