I completed CLX a few months ago and have all of Cathe's strength workouts including STS, though right now my experience with STS is limited to the leg workouts in Fitnessfreak's Get Ready for Summer 2010 rotation. I like Chalene much more for cardio - I reach for her workouts when I want a...

I wanted to note that the rest periods are very short in CLX - only 10 seconds except in some of the cardio workouts where you do a chunk of drills, then get a 1 minute break, then back for another chunk of drill. Still, just based on previews and forum posts alone I think STS is much more...

Here is my favorite: 1 banana juice of 1 lime 1 papaya or 4 fresh apricots or 1-2 mangoes (depending on what is in season) 1-2 tsp agave nectar 1-1.5 handfuls of baby spinach 2-3 cups of water + 1-2 cups ice, depending on how thick/thin/cold you like it Blend to a smooth consistency...

I have a dumbbell tree for my vinyl-covered weights (2#-12#) that I got off Amazon years ago. To be honest it was the storage quandary that finally convinced me to invest in a set of Power Blocks (http://www.powerblock.com/) - I have no affiliation with that company - earlier this summer. I...

One more idea - I had similar issues when I was doing P90X. I had amped up my protein intake but found my body really rejected that diet - I even developed intolerances to soy and eggs, which were confirmed by blood tests my physician gave me. She did, though, interestingly find me very...

Hi, I work for AT&T, although not on the retail side, but I can confirm that it is a requirement in the provisioning systems that iPhones cannot be sold with a voice plan only. The same is true for other smartphones like Blackberry and WinMo. This is not so much AT&T's decision as a...

More Support for Low Impact Series I would like to add my voice in support of this request. I have every Cathe DVD produced and I will say that her more recent videos are easier to modify for LI than the earlier ones. It took me really a couple of years to know each DVD well enough so I...

Liniment and Foot Lotion Suggestions Great discussions and suggestions in here, thanks all. I too have really struggled with foot pain the last 2 years or so. It's partly because I am getting older (42) and also because I was a gymnast from age 8 - 18 and then a modern dancer (barefoot on...

Just a bit of feedback... I recently started using the Nutrition tool and I like it pretty well. I understand the need for a timeout setting for security purposes, but the timeout window seems too short to me. Also if the screen has timed out I am prompted to re-log in, but it doesn't work...

Hi MC, First let me say that my anecdotal experience is just that - definitely not any kind of medical opinion. I tried both BFFM and Precision Nutrition on a vegetarian diet and in my case, the level of protein both of those programs was too much for my body. I used a combination of...

Would you mind terribly sending me a copy of this as well? My PM is [email protected]. Thanks so much!

Hi Michelle, Would you mind email it to me as well? [email protected] Thanks so much!

I have had the same issue. I find it helps if I "pick up" my abs and stretch the hip flexor via standing up taller + small pelvic tuck engagement while in the lunge, and shift a little bit of the weight load to the back leg. Now, this does tend to limit my range of motion a bit (tight hip...

I did this rotation in December. I definitely found it effective in shocking my body and keeping off the usual holiday weight gain. The ab/core workout and shoulder/chest emphasis really gave me DOMS - my intercostals are still sore! :D Drill Max and Body Max 2 really worked me differently...

I just happen to be doing one of Cathe's older rotations this month, and it is a mix of circuit work on the front and back ends, with some hard core weight training in the middle (10 straight days). It is her #1347, "July Rotation/ High Intensity" rotation...

Thanks muchly for the reference. I just placed my Niketown order. Yay! :7 “You guys can argue about training theories all you want.  I’ll be in the gym . . . it’s leg day.” -- Dave Draper, author and former Mr. Universe

LauraMax and all, Regarding "little shorts," can you give me some advice? I bought a couple of pairs of spandex-y shorts from Fila and although they are fairly comfortable, they tend to ride up in front and visually over-emphasize my, urmmm, anatomy. So I would never leave the house in...

Hi Melissa, I just recently completed the ten-day Master Cleanse (also known as the "Lemonade Diet." I researched it after reading about it on this forum. I had three goals for the cleanse, all of which I achieved. First, I had just come off of 2+ months on the Fit For Life diet, which...

I read that point of view in "The Schwarzbein Principle II," a lifestyle/diet book by endocrinologist Diana Schwarzbein, MD. Some of what she wrote definitely made sense to me. However I have found that I cannot lose weight without selecting low/nonfat dairy, since I avoid red meat, am...
