    Technical fibre t-shirts

    Hi Cathe, I noticed that you came out with some new t-shirts for the summer and they look fantastic! I was wondering, however, if you will be making any in technical fibres instead of pure cotton. I find that they are much more comfortable for working out, especially for outdoor running...

    working out in style.

    Hi!! I'm not sure if they have this store in the US (I live in Canada), but I get most of my workout clothes at Lululemon (lululemon.com). Their stuff is really stylish and great quality. I have some stuff from them that I have worn at least once a week for about four years and it still...

    Soy's Dangers

    I completely agree with WRITER. We have to look at who is publishing and financing these studies in order to determine what their motives are. It is like this with any scientific investigation, especially those conducted for and funded by major drug companies. Do you have any idea what kind...

    Jari Love - love her body

    I agree. There is definitely something wrong when every bone in someones body can be identified through their skin. Although I sometimes do her DVD's when I am looking for an endurance-type strength workout, I definitely do not strive to have a body like hers. I want to look strong and lean...

    What protein shake do you like?

    Hi Sandra, I usually drink whey protein, either the GNC brand or from Pro-Lab. Most of the whey drinks have between 20 and 30 grams of protein per scoop, and almost not carbs/sugar (maybe 1-4 grams). To be totally honest, none of them actually taste GOOD. There are, however, may ways to...

    Help for a new runner!

    Hi Bethany, Although you are using good shoes, it might be worth looking into getting orthtics made. I started wearing them several years ago, and even though my knees didn't hurt before, I just felt so much more limber after I started using them. Having said that, you do need to adjust to...

    Tinted Eyelashes??

    Eyelash tinting sounds great when you first hear about it, but you have to consider all the risks. You are puting hazardous chemichals onto your eyelashes.... what would happen if a little drop of the dye found its way into your eyes? The thought of it scares me. I too find mascara to be a...

    I HATE MY NEIGHBORS---venting

    Although I understand your frustration with your neighbor, I must admit that I was a bit scared at how much this dog's eyes, eyebrows and forehead resemble those of a human. I apologize if I sound completely crazy, but that was the first impression I got when looking at the picture and can...

    How many risers do you use?

    Does anyone know how tall Cathe is? I'm sure that one's height makes a difference when selecting the amount of risers. For example, five risers for me (I'm slightly under 5 foot 2) would probably be similar to six risers for somone who is 5 foot 4 or taller. I would go with a height that...

    ? about garmins

    Hi Laura, I currently use a 205 and have absolutely not problems. I did have problems, however, when I used the 201 (the predecessor model). Maybe you need to reset something in the watch... The garmin website has a lot of usefull information. Good luck!!! Take care, Ady

    FEMME Liquid Creatine for Women

    Hi Nicole, I found a drink on the GNC website which seems to have very similar properties to the p90x recovery drink, but without any creatine. Here's the link: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2542496&cp=2167077.2474584.2108327.2108316&parentPage=family It has the same...

    cant wait to get started. need help?

    Hi, In addition to the clips on this website, Collage Video, a distributor of Cathe's DVD's had great breakdowns of each workout, telling you exactly how much time is spent on what, what kind of impact the workout has, if the choreography is complex, moderate or basic, what kind of equipment...

    workout regime?

    Hi Stephanie, I'm not Cathe, but I do have a few suggestions. First, it might be a good idea to try other forms of cardio so that you don't get bored. Maybe alternating step with somethinkg like a kickboxing workout will make you feel as though you are doing something new and exciting...

    Is one body part a day really enough?

    I think that by total body endurance she means workouts like the new series, muscle endurance, cardio and weights, etc. Basically, lighter weights, higher reps, more circuit style... sort of like what the Jari Love videos are designed to be. I think that something like high step training might...

    body bar instead of barbell

    Hi Jamn, I have only used body bars at the gym and found that the lighter ones worked quite well. The only problem with the heavy ones (30lbs. +) is that they get quite thick and I find it difficult to maintain a strong grip (I have relatively small hands). I looked into getting body bars...
