    Having Problems Getting Back to it

    You're not alone! By the time I get home from shopping or whatever I'm doing, I just don't feel like working out. I know I should try, but I don't like forcing myself to workout- I want it to be enjoyable (it's psychological). Now, I'm saying this because I know I will soon WANT to workout...

    new cathe fan, strenght training question

    I don't know many people who do 2 hours of cardio a day (to me that seems overkill, but my body couldn't handle it) so the answers may not be helpful to you. I do a little more cardio than strength. I do 3 or 4 cardio sessions a week - 2 or 3 of these are intense, like a tough video, run, or...

    STARVING after workouts!

    Everyone else is right- you gotta eat filling meals. I workout around 6 or 7pm so sometimes I don't eat much beforehand. After a tough spinning class, I come home and wolf down junk cause I'm so hungry. Then for the rest of the night I keep eating little snacks- and eat much more than I burnt...

    When will the new series be shipped?

    Christmas? So I guess they won't be here for Christmas? :( For some reason, I was assuming they would be. I know things change, but some new Cathe workouts would be great with all this extra food laying around!

    Cathe how do I get the look of a dancer?

    You're right. My friend had an eating disorder throughout college (still kinda does- we graduated last year). There's so much pressure to look good- and she's not even a professional yet! It was harder on her since she has a naturally muscular body. Even though she hardly eats and exercises a...

    Breast Implants

    To implant "owners" I have a sort of dumb question to those with implants: Doesn't it feel weird to have foreign objects implanted into your chest? Do they feel weird when you workout? Do you worry that they'll break? I have absolutely nothing against implants, I was just curious!! I don't...

    running vs. Cathe for cardio?

    I also run when it's light outside (I also run in the evening). You're right, it's not fun runnung when it's so darn cold out. Running is THE best cardio workout for me. I wear a HR monitor and it gets really high. Plus, I feel it in my legs so much. But Cathe also provides tough workouts in a...

    Cathe how do I get the look of a dancer?

    I have no personal experience with this, but I remember reading an article about your question. It basically said you can't really get a dancers body unless you're built a certain way. For example, I'm 5' so I doubt I'll ever have a long, lean dancers body. I could do all the ballet videos in...

    Exercise bras?!?

    FYI Actually, mysportsbra.com is owned by Road Runner Sports- so it's the same thing, just an easier website title to remember, I guess.

    Did not work out last week

    I just lost my job so I know the stress! (however, I hated my boss, so it's not so bad) I didn't exercise last week because I was sick and it's really hard to get back into things. The other poster is right- during stressful times it's BETTER to workout! You don't want all that stress building...

    Yoga Fans

    I don't really consider yoga to be fat burning, regardless of the video. Some videos/classes are advanced and really tough, but I don't see them burning calories like cardio does. The earlier post is right, lots of videos say they're "fat burning" when they're not really. I used to fall for it...

    Too many fitness magazines?

    Does anyone else think there are too many fitness magazines out there these days? A few years ago there weren't enough. Now it seems like there's a new one everytime I look. And I'm hesitant to buy some of them because there are always a few articles promoting a product that the mag publishers...

    I am so frustrated with Rhythmic Step

    don't worry Hi Dawn, You'll get it eventually! I just did it last night. I think my problem is I'm so used to simple choreography since I do a lot of interval tapes. So when I do Rhythmic Step, my mind just gets tired! I finally did the 3rd section, but I didn't do the whole Rhythmic...

    How much do you do?

    just enough I decreased the amount of cardio I did since college (I'm 24), but I think I work out harder now. My focus changed from keeping slim to feeling good. I do what I can- sometimes I'm just too tired to workout after working all day. I do one week of 3 cardios, then one week of 4...

    fellow food journalist, just curious....

    I understand what you're thinking about people's versions of having a bad eating day. Sometimes my friends will say they'll say they were pigs so I'll ask what they ate. They'll say they had a bowl of ice cream or something- half the time it's not even real ice cream. I want to laugh cause for...

    Favorite breakfast.....

    You didn't say it had to be healthy, so here are my fav: -A plain bagel with butter and a hot chocolate from Starbucks -hash browns and a coke from McD's (a hangover cure from college) -french toast from IHOP My healthier options are usually simple: maple brown sugar oatmeal, cereal, rye...

    High cholesterol--help!

    I also just got my cholestoral test results back. She said they're not awful (the "bad" chol. is 124 I think and they like it to be under 130), but since I'm 24yo and my mom has high chol and blood pressure, I should watch it. It's kind of a wake-up call since I've thought all of my junk food...

    Home vs Gym

    motivation I go to the gym mainly for motivation and variety. There are some days when I know the only way I'll workout is if I have an instructor telling me what to do. I mainly go for spinning and kickboxing classes. Sometimes I use the weight machines. The variety (or cross-training) is...

    Bikini waxing

    Anna, If you want them to take everything off, they will. I said to leave some on, but I still felt like a stripper afterwards!A Again, not every salon takes a lot off. I called around and asked places if they did "hi-cut" or brazilian waxes. If they don't know what you're talking about, they...
