    Mini step question

    I've read here on other threads that you should put the step at a height which allows your leg to be at a 90 degree angle right before you step up on the step (like you were about to do a leg press). I have five risers under mine, making the total height 14 inches, and that works for me. I'm...

    Strength training as escape?

    AMEN, A-Jock!! I come HERE to read all the pro-fitness posts and escape from the threads about reality TV and perimenopause on the WW message boards!! Good grief! LOL!! I always think about the next workout I'm going to do, and right now I'm devising an Intensity Series/Body Blast Series...

    Choreography or Fitness??? You opinion please ...

    Personally, I would get bored out of my mind if there was little or no choreography. Some of it is challenging for me at first, but once I get it, it's nailed, and it makes my workout much more fun and interesting. That's just me though. I'm sure everyone has their own tastes, and the great...

    Question for the Educated Crowd about calorie needs

    I know what you mean about things fitting strangely! I'm only 5'2", and all dresses - even "petite" ones - are too long. Jeans aren't a problem, as I like them a little longer anyway. But the six's right now are baggy in the butt and thighs, and just right in the waist. I can actually get...

    Distractions & intrusions!!!

    Marie, your story is really funny! I won't answer the phone when I workout. I won't answer the door when I workout. I don't even worry about the cat or the laundry or anything else - LOL! Unless the house is on fire or there's a tornado bearing straight down the road, everything else can...

    Cathe! you take your time....

    I totally agree!! I've had experience with another set of tapes which shall not be mentioned, where the person behind them sacrificed quality for quantity, and I was very disappointed in the end result. I was also dillusioned that this person felt justified in selling such sloppy...

    "?" Balancing - stretching, cardio and weight lifting?

    RE: Could you possibly just take an extra five minutes or so to do your own stretches at the end of the workout? I always do extra, and I also add a few basic yoga asanas at the end. It's sort of my way to unwind and "finish" the workout. I always feel like I need more stretching, although I...

    water intake

    I'm on WW (in maintenance phase now), and they suggest drinking half your body weight in ounces of water per day. In other words, if you weigh 120 pounds, you should be drinking at least 60 ounces of water a day. Because I have had kidney stones in the past, I drink a minimum of three quarts a...

    just started Cathe workouts

    First of all Teeny, WELCOME!! I think you need to do different things as well. Doing the same workout over and over again will not give you consistent results. You need to mix things up a bit to invoke the phenonmenon known as "muscle confusion". Your muscles get used to the same workout...

    Question for the Educated Crowd about calorie needs

    Hi Bobbi, and thanks for the links! I honestly don't care if I ever fit into a size 4 or not, to be truthful. I can't afford any new clothes right now!! LOL!! I'm SO happy with what I've accomplished! I know if I just continue to workout, the bit of tummy I still have will eventually firm...

    exercising when exuasted

    Leslie, I think it's always important to listen to your body. If you're tired, you should rest. Recovery time is just as important to overall fitness and health as eating right and exercise. Take some time to rest and rejuvenate! Cathe will be waiting for you when you feel better!! Carol :-)
