    Low impact modifications

    Cathe, May I suggest that when youo do a High Energy High Impact cardio that you include a low impact modification? As you always have "the girls" working out with you it could be very useful for us with back problems to have a low impact version. Sometimes I can think of something but other...

    Continueing to exercise despite the set back

    Hi Laura, I just want to share my experience also not using the step. I live in Luxembourg (so a little closer to you than the US) and travel a lot within Europe or with my husband. We both share a passion for regular exercise so I had to find a way to keep exercising even if there's no gym...

    which dvd's to take when traveling

    Barb, I travel a ton and like you I am addicted to Cathe. I have been taking Low Max on the road with me as cardio. I don't use a step but do everything BIG, use lot's of space and trust me it still gives you a good workout. Save travels. ;-)

    What do you do when missing days in rotation?

    Ladies, I was just curious of what you do when you have to miss a day in a rotation. Do you keep on going with the next day as planned or do you do the missing day changing then the day pattern and eventually taking longer to complete the rotation. Am I making sense? Exmaple: Monday: BM2...

    Have a dog with cancer? What did you do?

    Jen, We just lost our dear golden retreiver 2 weeks ago to cancer. Last October we moved to Luxembourg, EU so we had to give him away to our neighboors. We could have taken him as there are no restrictions here but our lifestyle (lot's of travelling) would not have been fair to him. He was 10...

    Question for all P90X grads.

    Susandean, WOW, that is great! It shows that with proper attitude you can do whatever you want at any age. I can do push-up from my toes thanks to Cathe. It depends on days, anywhere from 10-30 and how my shoulders feel. Still looking at doing the 72 from Gym Style... in my dreams! As for the...

    Question for all P90X grads.

    TraciX, Thanks for the encouragement. I'm a little "scared" but I am definitely looking forward to it. I'll make sure to join the forum to share my experience. I hope there are some "over 50" within the group... But if you put your mind to something great things can happen. So you'll hear from...

    Question for all P90X grads.

    Well you've convinced me. I just ordered the P90X system. I'll be traveling to the US next week and it should be there for me. I will finish my present rotation, I ma doing FitnessFreak's lean rotation and will start P90X in September. It should give me time to study the program and get...

    Question for all P90X grads.

    Ladies, Thank you so much for sharing all that information with us. I read most of the thread on the P90X system and I am "almost" convinced to give it a try. What attracts me to it is the lean rotation that I could do first. However I have one question. Can you substitute another cardio for...

    Question for all P90X grads.

    Ladies, I am contemplating to start an inspired P90X rotation with Cathe's workouts. My question is this. I still would like to loose about 10lbs. My body structure is a V shape, with wide shoulders and back and small hips and buttock. There is not much cardio in this rotation and I was...

    What is Your Biggest Pet Peeve?

    Hi ladies, It seems I opened a can of worms with the speed driving. What I really mean is this; when I lived (or go back) to the US, there are plenty of people that drive in the left (passing) lane and DO NOT MOVE FROM THERE if their live depended on it. You see them enter the highway, move to...

    What is Your Biggest Pet Peeve?

    I have 2 pet peeves; one is when driving in the speed lane on a highway and people going slower do not move from the lane. I am sorry but the left lane is a passing lane, not a "I move there lane and too bad if you want to pass...". My other pet peeve is when people do not return their grocery...

    I-Pod for the technologically impaired

    Ladies, After reading a lot of your posts regarding Cardio Coach I decided to give it a try and ordered one of his "sprecial pack" so I have 7 CD's that I downloaded on my I-Pod. I must admit that I've never used it so far. I hate any cardio machine,so I've been doing all Cathe's or sometime...

    I started Tae Kwon Do lessons!

    Deana, Have fun! I took TKD first when I was 37yrs old and loved it. We started as a family (DH and the 2 children). After moving a few times, all the family droped for various reasons and I finally got my black belt at the age of 45. I moved again after testing and never found a scholl I...

    ipod workout music sources?

    Heidi, If you have an I-pod and connected to the internet it should bring you to the I-tune site. There you can search for fitness music and you will be able to find music for training. Not all of them have a specific walk/run pace but some do. I have "old" real "old" tapes with paced music and...
