    Ballet Beautiful, Xtend Barre, Exhale?

    I have the Ballet Beautiful total body and a few of the Exhale Core Fusion videos. Since these are broken down into segments of approximately 10 minutes each, I like to use them as add-ons for more intense workouts, like HiiT, sort of like we already do for ab work. That way you get the...

    Modifications for wrist injury

    I posted this in the Ask Cathe forum and haven't had any responses, so I thought I would try the Open Discussion. Can anyone suggest any modifications for working around a wrist sprain? I have to wear a brace, but the doctor said that if an activity doesn't cause pain, it's okay to perform it...

    Modifications for wrist injury

    Last Saturday, I fell while doing the power turning squats in TTM and injured my right wrist. More than a week later, it is still very sore and easily irritated. It seems to be okay when it's kept straight, but flexion and rotation are uncomfortable. Can you please recommend some...

    avoiding a "bulky" look on a petite frame

    I am also very petite and have gotten good results from barre workouts--TurboBarre in particular is great for really burning out the lower body, plus the upper body work (light weight, high reps) is perfect for getting definition without bulking up. I also highly recommend Cardio Barre by...

    Need some personal marriage advice...

    My husband and I have been having problems for some time now and are barely hanging on for dear life. He has maintained a text message relationship with his long-ago ex-girlfriend for years now (I've known all along), and last week he told me that she advised him to call it quits with me. Last...

    Plyo Yoga Workouts

    Enabler alert! The Slimnastics workouts are on Amazon and the BUTI system is available through the creator's website. My Christmas wishlist is exploding :D I'm intrigued by the HiiT Pilates also, sounds like it would make for some great ab work!

    Plyo Yoga Workouts

    I have recently read articles about Slimnastics, a program featuring yoga poses interspersed with plyometric intervals, and BUTI, an amalgam of yoga, dance, and plyometrics. Has anyone tried these, and if so, what did you think? Worth the purchase?

    Hi, I just wanted to thank you for responding to my post concerning knee bruises. Your response prompted my discontinuation of the iron supplement I was taking, and within two days, the bruising and pain had stopped and the condition has now resolved. I very much appreciate your help!

    How many pieces did you eat last night :)

    I chose two of my absolute favorite minis, Reese's cup and Snickers, and relished all four scrumptious bites!

    Knee Bruises

    Thank you for your post and the information, Emigliori! My doctor did not put me on the iron supplement, I started taking it because I noticed that my multivitamin did not contain iron and I was concerned that I may not be getting enough from my diet. I noticed that the bruising really started...

    Knee Bruises

    You know, I did start taking an iron supplement a couple of months ago and I have, in fact, been bruising easily. I will discontinue it and see if that helps in addition to modifying my workout routine. I appreciate the help!

    Knee Bruises

    After some workouts, I get what appear to be deep bruises around my knees in various places, sometimes accompanied by pain. I can't figure out whether it's caused by cardio or resistance, i.e., whether it's directly related to impact or strain. Does anyone else get this or can someone please...

    More Barre!

    Please, please, please more barre! And if you could throw in a few HiiT intervals between barre segments, that would make my legs super happy! :D

    Definition of High Energy

    Cathe, would you please define the term "high energy" as it relates to exercise? I'm confused as to whether it refers to caloric demand. Thank you!

    Circuit weights enough?

    Can I get all the resistance training I need through circuit workouts? I love cardio, but find straight weight lifting extremely boring. My main concern is muscle imbalance that may lead to injury.
