Diet is the most important thing. If you don't have it already, I recommend getting the app from MyFitnessPal so you can track what you eat on a daily basis. It is free and I find it very useful. They also have support forums online. Also, if you are lifting heavy you need to watch out your...

I love to bake. When I am baking a cheesecake on a springform pan I normally use a water bath, but for cheesecake bars I use a 13 x 9 pan and no water bath. The reason is that I don't need the cheesecake bars to have extra moisture, my cheesecake bars are best eaten by hand :p not with a spoon...

I am so sorry your bf is going through this. I have been there and my pain was so unbearable that after all the pain meds and physical therapy I decided to get back surgery. Of course, surgery is not for everyone and it should be the last option after trying non-surgical alternatives. You...

Justine is so right! A spray tan or a good sunless tanning lotion is definitely a great idea. Legs look a lot more toned with a tan and it also hides little imperfections like spider veins, uneven color, etc. that most of us have. If you go for it, remember to exfoliate the skin the day...

Turbo Barre should be the first option in my opinion and you should also consider the Barre section of Lower Body Blast. Xtrain Legs has a barre bonus, but I don't consider it as challenging as the two previously mentioned. I also find that leg portions done on the floor slim my legs better...

Of Cathe, Rock Bottoms (all 3) Of Beachbody, Chalean Extreme and P90X Doubles.

I stopped drinking protein shakes a gazillion years ago. There is no substitute for the micronutrients that come from a real food smoothie or juice. I believe I am more satisfied when I make a smoothie with coconut or almond milk, fresh fruit (and sometimes veggies), and flaxseed than with any...

Yes to everything Clare said about walking. Walking is great for cardio and powerwalking as well. And I absolutely love yoga, I just don't practice like I used to. If you still have P90X, Yoga X is in there, and it is one of my favorite yoga workouts. It is quite long, but amazing. As...

Pulling the thread back up for my 4 week post appointment update. So today is 4 weeks later and I'm down 5 pounds. I have been doing the same exercises as usual, but my diet has changed a lot. I have not been very good about the portions so I was surprised I lost weight. I can't imagine...

Same here and if you workout every day you should alternate shoes. When I workout two days in a row I don't use the same shoes, especially if the workout of the previous day had some kind of cardio. I alternate shoes since I was in high school and ran almost daily. That was one of the...

Yes, I think so too. STS is tough on your body especially if you lift as heavy as you can while maintaining your form. If you don't need to lose any weight, do not add extra cardio those days you do STS and the days in between try to keep your cardio sessions small and not very intense. I...

Hi. I've read about this a lot so I can try to help you. 1. I think the classes will vary every week. 2. Yes. All the workouts will be kept so members can access them any time they want and SnM expects to have at least 100 live workouts about a year from now, so that is really cool...

What is your goal? Are you trying to lose, gain, or maintain your weight? I find STS in my case builds a lot of muscle and CE gives me more definition and makes me more leaner. Right now I do not need to build any more muscle or strength. I do push-ups on my toes easily, a couple of pull...

You don't have to do CE as suggested if you don't want. The key workouts of CE, in my opinion, are Burn, Push, and Lean. If you do Burn 1-3 for a month, then Push 1-3 for a month, and Lean 1-3 for a month, you can add any cardio workouts you want in between, they can be from CE or from...

:eek: lol! I don't take her too seriously, when I exercise I am in my own world, and I have to be really focused on my form because with this program you have to lift heavy and move slow. I thought Tony Horton was annoying at first too, but I learned to accept him as one of those crazy...

Happy Mother's Day to you Cathe and to all the Catheletes too! :)

Hi! I think Jessica Smith has a lot of great intermediate workouts and you don't even have to spend a dime if you get them from her YouTube channel. Her walking workouts are considered beginner/intermediate and probably way too easy for a Cathelete, but she has great intermediate workouts on...

Catherine if you read the other thread regarding iPads and the streaming issue, kariev mentions that she downloaded the app from ustream and she was able to watch Cathe's live class. I also have an Ipad and will not subscribe until all these issues are fixed. I think live streaming is a great...

There are a ton of good brushes. If you do a search on amazon (try searching by dry brushing) you will see a lot of them (with handles, without handles, different materials, etc.). My brush has a handle, but I don't remember the brand. It looks exactly like the Earth Therapeutics. Amazon has...

I have completed the doubles rotation of P90X twice and loved it, precisely due to the fact that it has those yoga and synergistic workouts. I have practiced yoga since the 90s and I think Yoga X is one of the best yoga workouts I have ever done and my second favorite of the original P90X set...
