    Fresh Basil

    You can also freeze the plain basil in ice cube trays. I chop it up, add it to the tray, add water and freeze.

    Chest Press- do you have a spotter?

    I am at 80# on the chest press as well and would like to go a little further. I don’t have a spotter either so I won’t take the chance. The same thing goes for incline chest flys. I have not gone over 33# yet since I do feel a little weakness at the top of the movement. I know if I am very...

    What size boxing gloves for MMA Boxing?

    Hi Kathy I did this workout this morning - so much fun! I have a few pairs of gloves and used the 14 oz. today. I would go with what fits you best. Cathe mentions the weight of the gloves in the video when doing squats with arm pull-backs. The guys were wearing gloves with a little more...

    Are you doing STS lifting 3 days in a row?

    Hi Ladies, I just started Meso 2 and I definitely need a rest day in between. I am using 40# dumbbells for squats and 45# for deadlifts and I find that my forearms need a break. Happy lifting!

    PSA- Samsclub has squat rack for $120 free shipping

    This is a great price for this piece of equipment. I don't have a store membership and could not get anyone else to price match. I ended up purchasing this as a floor model through Amazon for $110.00 shipped. Thanks for posting! Chris

    For those of you with a heavy bag....

    I am no expert so this is from my limited experience. I don’t know that they are defined by name alone (boxing, heavy bag, training). I have two pairs of boxing gloves (TKO and Everlast) and a pair of training gloves (Everlast). The training gloves are very light. I don’t use them much...

    Just graduated from nursing school! And I'm fat again!

    Congratulations Sheryl! What a wonderful accomplishment! I know how hard you have worked and can appreciate the weight gain! I gained about the same amount when I went back to nursing school. It seems to me that we try not to “inconvenience” everyone else in our families so we are the last...

    Elliptical Advice

    Hi Melissa, Have you had the opportunity to try both models? That is a big price difference. I have the Sole E95 which I bought for $1500 shipped. The reviews link you have states current pricing is $1699. I wanted to keep my purchase under $2000. We bought it through a Sole dealer...

    Squat Rack or Plyo Legs for Meso 3?

    Hi Iris, Meso 3 is my favorite of the three and I am looking forward to getting there again. I tried both plyo and squat rack legs last year. I preferred squat rack legs but I do like heavy lifting. My legs were very muscular and defined as a result. I enjoyed the plyo because it was...

    Workout bra recommendations needed

    Hi Ladies, I am a 36D and I have been wearing Moving Comfort's Fiona style. This is a great bra for HIIT! You can hoist up the girls with velcro adjustments on the straps without causing the uniboob effect. They can be found in the Title 9 catalog but are on closeout with Sierra...

    splitting up workouts

    Yep - cardio in the morning and weights at night. I don't like to rush through lifting if I am running late in the morning. The cardio wakes me up so that I am plenty annoying for my morning meetings at work. :)

    Let it snow???

    Hi Nancy, Four Seasons was first, oddly enough. When I joined the gym I would be there very early in the morning and missed many of the classes. I found Cathe’s workouts through Weight Watchers members online. Since then, I have purchased many of the DVD’s. I now go to the gym mostly...

    Freestanding Heavy Bag Suggestions?

    I had an old freestanding bag that would take sand but my husband thought this would be too permanent so I used water. This was not sufficient for him to use. So now I have a 100 lb. canvas heavy bag and a floor stand. My stand is white and does not have the speed bag in the back that is...

    Let it snow???

    Hi GettingFitMom, I am not Cathe of course but I do live near/am a member of her gym. I have read that we had about 45 inches of snow here. I hope you all managed to get through all of the snow in the last week. I know it has been taking me about 2 hours to get home from work in Phila...

    How high do your dumbbells go? weight wise of course

    Who knew we would be lifting so heavy? I wanted adjustable Bowflex but they were full price when I was looking. I bought the Lifecore 5 to 55 lb. adjustable dumbbells and they were on sale at the time. Actually, my husband bought them for me as an anniversary gift :D...

    knee pads and Core Cardio Circuit

    Nice idea. I'll have to find my skating knee pads. I definitely had to move to the carpet for these.

    My HiiT training tip: Double 'em up!

    I'll have to try this. I have been doing weights or MMA's after one round of HIIT. The MMA's still give me a good calorie burn after HIIT. I am going to be starting the STS cardio/strength rotation in a couple of weeks so I am getting used to these workouts now. I can't get to the hot...
