    Need Advice- Work

    OK maybe this is a bit of tough love, but as someone who is a boss I thought I could add some value here. From what I have read, your comments indicate that you dislike your employees, that you see yourself in many ways above them. You may not have spoken that out loud to them, but they know...

    Bikini Boot Camp by Jeanette: yikes

    And ouch and OMG. Hated the title (all I could think was gag, oh so perky) but I watched the clip. And the reviews were great. So let me say: Jeanette could be one the Navi warriors on Pandora. She is fierce. And gorgeous and strong and dynamic and motivating. The cardio is H-A-R-D for...

    My HiiT training tip: Double 'em up!

    That's right! I clock in at about 42-45 minutes with either the 30/30 or 40/20 warm up and aerobic section, then right to the double wave section (skip the warm-up) then cool down. Then to the hot tub for a soak. I have been doing this about once a week. This is especially good for...

    OK let's talk about "the girls"

    I beg for flame free responding but after reading the inquiries as to Cathe's perky chest it got me thinking. In various videos she looks more up, more down, more muscuclar, more full (and really, always gorgeous). So I think it is likely a sports bra issue more than anything else...

    Levis anyone? The jeans test! Just bought two new pairs - I am 46 and I am in smaller size than in highschool. And one pair is skinny jeans. Happy dance. Julie

    Cathe/or someone questions???????

    So far you are focusing on all cardio which, if you want to lose weight and gain muscle definition (in any way - smaller and firmer, larger, more defined) you should work in resistance training. for me, I change it up a lot but never neglect strength training. If I do, my definition disappears...

    Help: I am SOOO Bored By Exercise

    So during Thanksgiving, after a five day stay at a nice hotel with a crappy mattress, I hurt my lower back. I have gone to the chiropractor, worked out throught it but it is still real sore. The truth is, even before that, I was getting so bored and burnt out. Maybe the back was just the...

    Too much cardio??

    Can I ask Katie how your diet is? That is half the battle. I will also say there has been a ton of discussion on this topic so search the forum. I used to do 5-6 days a week cardio and was not really firmed up the way I wanted. Cut back to 4 days, with one day interval training, added heaiver...

    Profits Before Patients - A PBS Interview w/Bill Moyers

    Not to add fuel to this fire, but I thought it would be worth noting for those who do not want to "pay" taxes for the 45 million others who do not have health insurance now - you already are. Your tax dollars go to cover the catastrophic care that the uninsured seek in emergency rooms, which is...

    SUPER tired, run down 45 yr old Catheite

    Hey I am thinking the U.S. health care system needs a blog of smart fitness minded people like you all to get it back on its feet. Wow, this is great intelligence. I will admit all those "middle age" references hurt my ego (!) but well I am 45 so time to face facts. I feel a bit stronger...

    SUPER tired, run down 45 yr old Catheite

    Can I get some opinions? For two weeks, I have been so run down I cannot really exercise much. Usually I do 6 days a week (4 days cardio, 2/3 days of weight training, yoga here and there). Started a few weeks after having the flu so maybe I still have it? Went to do my usual run a week ago...

    Ditto for Patricia Wexler day cream with SPF from Bath & Body works. I use the entire line and love love love it. Day cream is rich enough for your dry skin Laura. The glycolic peel is awesome as well. Have not tried the serum but I will! Julie

    Help Please

    Tammy, I love kick boxing because it pumps your heart and works your core big time (and I hate working core!!). So in addition to the great suggestions here, and because I am a bit spastic when it comes to step DVDs, I vote for (1) Kick, Punch, Crunch by Cathe and (2) Turbo Jam. KPC is great...

    Has anyone discovered any new gems in their skincare regime?

    Have to give a shout out to Patricia Wexler Glycolic Peel system. It has radically changed my skin. It is so much smoother and even toned. Takes moisturizer better. My dermatologist says if you do the right kind of exfoliation you do not need facials. And she is right. I haven't had a...
