    What gives you the best arms?

    Do you have STS? That's given me BY FAR the best arm definition I've ever had. You've got to be doing the resistance training for definition. Cardio alone won't do it.

    Creative Outlets-whats yours?

    That sounds like a fun hobby! I play classical piano as my outlet.

    How to help my obese friend

    You can't. That's something she needs to do herself. Just like an alcoholic - they face it and change when THEY'RE ready, not when you are. One of my best friends is a recovering alcoholic and I watched her self-destructing, but I kept out of it. I joked about it with her, I drank with her...

    Need help explaining family dynamics

    Probably because nobody has a clue how to answer it. I don't. I've got an only child, so family dynamics? It's just the two of us and our dogs and cats.

    Need help explaining family dynamics

    I wouldn't make a big deal out of the grammar or spelling. I am often surprised at the errors I see in notes that come home from my daughter's elementary school teachers. Furthermore, I know many MANY highly intelligent people who can't spell to save their lives. One of them was a high school...

    A challenge!

    I'd guess walking lunges because of my knees. I love fireband walkers

    STS- what have I gotten myself into?

    I just adjust my week so that I'm doing it on a different day than I had planned. And I do that ALL the time! I only do abs 2 - 3 times a week, and I'm starting to move those to my rest days since, between running 5 days a week and doing STS 3 times a week, I'm pretty burned out from...

    STS- what have I gotten myself into?

    you won't feel like you're doing this big long rotation because each month is different from the other. Each week within each month is pretty much the same, but you're increasing your weight. And the first month is pretty easy because it's endurance. I bought STS and waited over a year to do...

    Spin DVD

    Isn't Cathe planning to do a spinning DVD? I just love her "experience it all" attitude! I don't have a spin bike, and probably won't be buying one anytime in the foreseeable future, but what an excellent compliment to running!

    Do You Use Workout Sheets?

    I have my laptop with me and record them during the rest periods. I also recalculate the 1 RM while I'm doing it, if I need to. Usually I'm recalculating it to a higher weight. I really don't like printing things off and will avoid it as much as possible.

    P90X/Ebay/Legal issues!!!

    This is an interesting topic, as I'm a BeachBody Coach. Piracy is a crime, so I can see where there would be some concern from BeachBody. I get very.... I'm not sure if "disgusted" is the right adjective, but it definitely bothers me when I see people pirating music, movies and all this...

    Why do YOU workout?

    That's an easy one - health. I will miss a scheduled workout, though, if other things get in the way or if I'm just not feeling up to it. Usually that just means I need a little rest. I had a half marathon a few weeks ago and hurt my foot halfway through. I figured out the other day that...

    Legit websit?

    If you're going to buy it, get it from a Team Beachbody coach. They're representatives of BeachBody and you have the guarantee to back you up. With that sort of discount on the site, I would think it's a bootleg. www.buffbeachbody.com - I'm a BeachBody coach. There are a few of us on here...

    Do You Use Workout Sheets?

    I did when it all got computerized. I wouldn't do it otherwise. And I record all my STS workouts in the Workout Manager. It definitely does help keep you on track because you can see your progress.

    gs...and light weights!

    If you are new to lifting weights, these weights you're using are pretty typical. You'll go up in weight very quickly. My first set of weights were 5, 8 & 10. Then I had to go buy 3's because the 5's were too heavy. Didn't take me long before I outgrew those and was out buying 12's and 15's...

    At what point... did you ditch the bad foods?!?

    Took me a few years to "get it". I would read about everyone eating clean here and think it was silly. I didn't eat a lot of snack foods and stuff, but I did eat processed. Then last year I had to drop some weight and started using Cathe's Nutrition software, Livestrong and reading a whole...

    Can I still do Cathe workouts after arthroscopic knee surgery?

    I would stick with your PT routine for now. I had ACL surgery a few years back and am able to do everything I was able to before I tore it, but it did take awhile. My knee still aches almost always, but now I'm a runner and almost 44... so that could have a lot to do with it too.

    Starting 6 month STS on Monday

    Unfortunately I'm just starting M3W4 of my 6 month on Monday. You're going to love looking back at the improvements from your first time around. I'm 13 lbs heavier on my bench presses this time around.

    Help! Should I get STS tower or bench w/ press rack?

    OH! I thought you meant a squat rack attachment for the tower! Yeah, I never do the plyo legs - always the squat rack routine. I love it.
