    Attention wine drinkers!

    Hey there - I love wine too, unfortunately! I prefer the white wines - Rieslings from upstate NY. I also like pinot noir and think it's probably a good healthy choice. I figure drink what you like, and like the other girl said, just watch the size of the glass. I have two sizes of wine...

    Resistance Band Purchase

    Does anyone know where or what type of resistance band to get? The one I had broke. I've been looking at Target, etc. but I dont trust them. I want to be able to use them for step-ups on the bench, for firewalkers, etc. Do u think Dick's would be a good source?

    Double Upper Body BM2

    I agree the double abs were crazy, but made it through. I was very proud of finishing the entire workout. I did a challenging weight and the next day felt it most in my back, chest and triceps. I am loving the rotation in May, but my legs are getting tired. It's well worth it since I really...

    best results ever

    Good for you - what ab exercises seemed to work for you? I'm working on that goal right now too. I've been following May rotation which has been real fun. I find the coremax workouts are awesome.

    May 07' Rotation

    Cathe - My jaw just dropped as I opened up the May rotation! Just a few minutes ago, I was looking over some premix choices for the next few days and thought how great it would be to have a premix rotation. This is really unbelievable! Wish me luck! Looks like you want to see some...

    spinning or cycling dvd's

    Funny I was just thinking my husband and I should purchase a bike next year for spinning. I have taken spinning classes at a gym and the instructors can really push you. They are the hardest training for cardio for me. I think if you find the right dvd to push you, you'll be too busy dying on...

    intimidated by pikes!

    Hi. Not Cathe, but wanted to help. The pikes are very tough and you have to work up to them. I FINALLY did them last night on the Coremax 2 workout. Up until then, I could do them somewhat depending on my strength that day. You really have to build up. By substituting the roll-ins THEY...

    Weight Watchers.....***Tuesday****

    Hi Cheryl, I was browsing posts this a.m. before heading to work and happened upon yours. Let me say that your photos impressed me, before and after! Good for you. The after photo mentioned oatmeal, etc. and I was just wondering if you would tell me how you got to look that great? Couldn't...

    Over 40 Stumped

    I'm right there with you. I eat about 1500-1700 calories every day (and that's with the wine..hee hee). I'm 44 and have to work out so hard to even maintain. What I've been reading lately and am going to try is to incorporate more weight training and less cardio. Everyone seems to agree on...

    not getting desired results

    I want to say this is an interesting post - and it seems like most of us are in our 40's (44). We all have many things in common, love to exercise, love Cathe, but seems to have the winter? blahs or working-out blahs especially when we're not seeing results. After reading your posts you...

    where do you get workout clothes?

    I vote for Dicks Sporting Goods. They have bras that don't let you bounce! I also like the black work-out shorts that are fitted (like bike shorts). Dicks isn't cheap, but the stuff lasts (brands are Champion, etc) and looks good! I like Target too, real cute clothes, but good-fitting tops are...

    do you keep a food journal? and if so what type of journal do you keep?

    I said yes. I only keep a journal when I really stray from good eating. It keeps you accountable for all the bad stuff you eat. Thanks for the sparkpeople site- very cool!

    What is your Good Power Food?

    Interesting to see almost everyone has peanuts or peanut butter..so I'm not alone on that. I eat almonds or peanut butter about every day. The oatmeal is also a good idea, even with blueberries on it!!!:P I guess I was looking to see if there was anything special or different that I'm...

    What is your Good Power Food?

    Besides the usual clean eating habits, and besides the popular PEANUT BUTTER posts :9 , what do you eat or drink to give you maximum energy for Cathe's workouts. Personally, I eat spinach whenever I feel like I'm running out of energy. It must be the iron that does it! What works for you...
