I am planning on getting pregnant in a few months as well. I have one child already, so I do have a little experience to base my recommendations on. I always suggested woking on upper body and core strength. You upper back, shoulders and chest will get alot of work trying to keep you...

I ran my first half marathon last September and used parts of the Intensity Series in my training. The rotation that you have set up is probably pretty good for the first half of your training. I found that I had to eliminate lower body work as I increased my mileage. I probably stopped...

RE: Anybody tried Thanks Kathryn, I meant to do a forum search before I posted the question! TV

I have been a devoted Catheite for about 8 years and have not been tempted by any other programs or instructors, except for crosstraining with running. I was on the treadmill this a.m. and watched the paid programming for Core Secrets. Has anybody tried this program? I am wondering if it...

Hi Julie, PUB is my upper body workout of choice. I just can't give this one up for anthing else. I only do the workout in its entireity. I have a mental thing about doing the up or down only premixes. I will tell you that I got the best results and upped my weights last spring when I...

Andrea, First let me say that if this is a particularly stressful period in your life, maybe you should wait a few months. My pediatrician recommended that I wait until my son was 2 before we tried to take the pacifier away. She said this is because most of the fussy/teething periods have...

I run 2 - 3 times per week, mostly on the treadmill this time of year. Like you, the only thing that really seems to get the fat off is running combined with strength training. I usually cross train with Imax and Imax2. I have used both of these workouts in place of speed work when preparing...

Cbelle, This is my experience and my "theory". I have not run any marathons, but this past summer and fall I trained and ran a half marathon. I gained a few pounds and felt really "soft" in the last few months before the race. I attributed this to the fact that I was eating so many more...

Hi Sam, Are you from MO? I live Northeast of Columbia. I don't get to St. Charles often, but did run the Lewis & Clark 1/2 marathon this fall and really enjoyed the St. Charles scenery. I might make a point of going there next year on the day after T-giving. Sounds like a great relaxing...

I did all of my baking yesterday. I have the pies lined up on my counter and can't touch them. It is really killing my DH, since he has a terrilbe sweet tooth in the mornings. At least I did get Cool Whip Light for slathering on the pies! That has to be a bit of consolation for the load of...

The treadmill and running for that matter are a really great compliment to Cathe strength and cardio. I have been using Cathe for nearly 10 years, and have always thrown in a little running here and there. This year, I got more serious about running and I attribute the running to helping...

Thank goodnes my 3-yr old isn't in the room when I am doing the glute sweeps at the end of L&G. He might learn some new words when I inform Cathe of just how evil she is!!!!!! Tina

We had them for supper last night too! They are so filling and satisfying. I doctored my with the butter spray and have to sweeten it up a bit with some brown sugar. You can also "bake" them in the microwave. I make a few slits in them with a knife and then put them in a covered casserole...

Patti, Welcome to the wonderful world of Cathe. Sounds like you have literally jumped in with both feet, since you started with KP&C. This is a tough HIGH IMPACT workout. Your feet and ankles may not be used to the impact. Try to start slow and substitute low impact moves where possible...

Well, sounds like you have answered your own questions and you have reasonable expectations for yourself! Give yourself a break when you need it and praise yourself for being dedicated! It is interesting to hear somebody else say that exercise is their "hobby." That is exactly how I...

I do know exactly how you feel! I have a fairly physical job and a very active 3 yr old, so sometimes it is hard to have energy for my workouts. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Give your body time to adapt to the new demands of your job!!! 2. Decrease the intensity of your workouts or do...

Hi Ladies, If you haven't seen the HBO movie "Iron Jawed Angels," you must see it. Although it is too late to register for this election, it will certainly make you appreciate what the suffragists did to earn the right for women to vote! Truly amazing story! I think it might be available...

Just wanted to report that I complete my first half marathon yesterday and say "Thanks" to those of you who gave me advice during my training. My goals were to finish in under 2 hours without walking. I met both of my goals and finished in 1 hour 56 minutes. I placed 20th out of 189 in the...

I would go with the 2nd hotel choice too. Maybe that hotel has a shuttle that would take you to the mall or wherever. Could you drop your husband off at the meeting location, so that you have a car? Or maybe somebody else at the meeting will be staying at the same hotel you are at and he can...

Hi all, I know there are several of us that are training for races this fall. I thought it would be nice to just have a little "check-in" and progress report. I am working on my first half marathon which I will run on September 19 in St. Charles, MO. I am ready to run it now and wish it...
