    Toronto!

    Another born and raised Torontonian here! As Jenn mentioned, the Molson Indy is in town so traffic around the waterfront area might be tricky. A couple of other "warnings"(!): we've been having what would be considered unseasonably hot weather here for the last week or so (temperatures up...

    Break-ups and staying motivated . . .

    Hi Lynne, I hope this doesn't sound stupid or shallow but sometimes when I've been having relationshiop troubles, and asking myself, "why bother?" the answer that has come to me is "to make that person sorry they betrayed me!" I have sometimes been able to really dive into a good workout...

    question about quad. pain

    Just want to jump in and confirm what the last poster mentioned. I have been doing only Cathe's for the last 10 weeks or so (have been working out regularly with firms and others for the last few years) and I started my summer running again two days ago. My legs are sore in places they NEVER...

    my 2 cents... LAST EDITED ON May-30-02 AT 03:23PM (Est)[p]I just wanted to add, for the first poster, and maybe this is totally unecessary to mention in a Cathe forum, but start lifting weights! Jogging every day is great but I have found that increasing my muscle mass has done wonders for...

    Length of Cardio

    I don't really have a reccomendation, just another question: I have been reading some about the whole midlife fat cell/weight gain in premenopause/difficulty losing as you get older thing, and I've read that as we age, for women, longer more moderate cardio sessions may work better than short...

    Two schools of thought on bulking issue

    I have to agree with the posters waaaay above who mentioned heavy weight work, good for your bones, etc. For me the issue of "bulky" legs comes up in the way my pants fit. If they are really tight around the thighs they're uncomfortable, but I'm realising that for me that is often a function...

    Hi Everyone!

    Well, Cathe, since I see you every morning in my living room it doesn't seem like you've been gone at all! Your boys are beautiful. I have all kind of questions to ask you about post-pregnancy incontinence, but they can wait! Enjoy this time, as you know, it flies by. Christine

    The Firm? Benefits?

    Just chiming in with my two cents. I did the firm 90-day rotation recently and although I didn't see huge strength gains, I saw remarkable endurance gains, and my resting HR went way down. Only thing I found with doing so much lifting, even if it's light weights, every day, is that I was...

    Imax

    I did Imax this morning for the third time, after having it for...oh, 6 months maybe?! Thanks to Donna for devising a rotation for me that has it in once a week! I also cannot get through the one where hope modifies, at all. Those jumping lunges are so tough, and I'm afraid I'll hurt my...

    "Intro to Cathe" Rotation?

    LAST EDITED ON Apr-02-02 AT 11:11AM (Est)[p]If you're out there, Donna, I just wanted to let you know I started your rotation on Saturday (I flipped the weekends to the beginning of the week) and I am loving it-this was just the thing I needed right now to shock my system. I am so sore, but in...
