One-armed push-ups. Or those with a clap before you go down. For some reason I feel the moves in my shoulder joints, not my chest muscles, even when I check my form and know it's right. I think I need a stronger core. Pinky

I break the workouts into two segments (the standing, weighted portion and the floor work) and do them on different days. I also work out legs in other ways, not just the typical gym style weighted squats and lunges. I do circuits (CTX-Power Circuits, the cardio and leg portion of Body Max...

Lead the move with your elbow. Imagine you're pushing something with your elbows while holding the weight in your hands. Keep the small of your back against the step or bench. If it comes up, chances are, the weight is too heavy for you. Pinky

Hey there, Beautiful. Haven't "seen" you in a while. But I haven't been here that much lately myself. I had Bootcamp for almost two years before finally using it as is. I started out just using the premixes as add-ons to other workouts. I'm not much of a circuit person. Still, it surprised me...

Wendy Marie, Cathe's old shopping cart had breakdowns of some of the workouts. They're no longer there now that she's updated to her current one. I don't know what workouts you have, but I think several of her DVD's have breakdowns/chapter titles, like PS, the Gym Styles, and I think most of the...

Happy birthday to one of the funniest, smartest, strongest women I know. :) Have a wonderful day. Pinky

Happy birthday to you from your friends old and new have Hot Tamales and a cheesecake lots of cookies, too. I shouldn't be writing songs, Terri. But it's your special day. ;-) May all you hope for come true. Pinky

Happy birthday, Melody! You know that birthday cake doesn't have any calories, don't you? I hope all your birthday wishes come true. Pinky :)

I'm with everybody on this one. Please see a doctor. I once felt this constant heaviness (I couldn't really say it was pain) in my chest area, and it felt more like it was UNDER the upper part of my rib cage -- which is why I had this urge to answer your post when you said the pain is inside...

Shannon, if I may say so, you seem to be doing so much leg work. You get to work legs three times, plus you have kickboxing and an Imax workout, both of which I consider other ways of working the legs without weights. I'd definitely lessen the leg work. I've been plagued by knee problems for...

My son is currently taking martial arts classes and I've hung around the place long enough to note that the women who either teach classes or take some of the classes don't have Cathe-like arms. And so far, I've seen only one male teacher who looks like a bodybuilder. So I'm thinking that if you...

Shelley, I have Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage by Munro. This is one book I'd love to read again. Other writers whose books I'd devour in a heartbeat would be Ursula Hegi, Barbara Kingsolver, and Julia Alvarez. I also love Gabriel Garcia Marquez, although I'd love to have...

<---hopes it wouldn't be out of line to start this today <---at 3:55 a.m. <---was awakened by allergy attack and can't go back to sleep <---congratulates Moochele for losing 10 pounds <---wonders if Moochele did that without cardio; knows how much Moochele hates cardio :) <---was reading...

Once a week was enough. I went as heavy as I could with CT and BSB, and either matched or went lighter than Cathe with Legs. Eventually I split them up as such: chest/back, shoulders and arms. When I separated tricep work from chest work, I was able to lift heavier for triceps. And with only two...

Shelley sent me Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood. It took me a while to finish it, since I got it at a time when I was running around so much, but when I got to the last chapter I felt a little panic that I was running out of pages to read. Atwood is a brilliant writer, and along with Carol Shields...
