    Work legs w/ ache knees

    Cathe does a forward lunge on the step in the new XTrain Cardio Leg blast and that takes pressure off the knees, but I will echo what RapidBreath said.... go see a PT!!! It is really in your best interest. :) martijean is right, fish oil is great for joints and has many other health benefits...

    XTrain 90 Day Undulating Rotation

    Good morning! I did Legs today.:) I wore my 10lb vest (works great with this workout) and increased the poundage for several exercises(walking lunges, sumo squats, deadlifts). I'm trying to add muscle to my legs and build up strength to go even heavier. My legs are toast. Jengolf...

    Lorrie, Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.:) I know I need to join a gym and find a trainer, but it's so intimidating.:eek: How do you find the right trainer? What should I look for? I was thinking about joining Golds Gym, but I need to get the nerve up!

    Cathe Products in the UK

    TC2, I would post in the "Ask Cathe" forum for advice where to start for a workout rotation. You will find her to be so caring and helpful. She recently switched to a modified Paleo. :cool: My advice as far as diet....don't cut calories drastically. Your body will rebel, hold on to fat...

    Lorrie, This has nothing to do with your question, but I'm so curious I have to ask!! What workouts led you to figure competitions? Were they all Cathe workouts? That's tough at any age, but I'm inspired by you because you're 50. :) Please share your formula with this 50 year old gal.;):)

    Starving!!

    It happens to me when I switch exercise styles, but the hunger levels off after a few weeks. I agree with JT, increase your calories with healthy whole food.;) When I began Body Beast, my body demanded more fuel for muscle repair.

    Cathe Products in the UK

    Since I mentioned bootlegs, I thought I would post this. Cathe Friedrich - Homeland Security Seizes Illegal Cathe DVDs Bootlegs can be very difficult to spot because bootleggers do a pretty good job copying the artwork. I unknowingly purchased a bootleg from eBay and the only way I could tell...

    Can someone please explain this to me? TDEE/BMR etc

    Looking at your numbers, you are a small person...correct? Why are you focusing on scale weight? Toss out your scale, and use a tape measure and a the mirror!! You can lose inches, gain lean body mass, lose body fat without the scale moving one pound. Lift weights, do some cardio, eat a healthy...

    Lifting heavy and "bulk"

    I had this mindset for a very long time until I joined a few bodybuilding facebook groups. I've learned not to fear that heavy lifting hunger. It is not about calories in vs calories out. It's about nutrition. If it were only about calories, we could eat cheesecake all day, stay within 1200...

    Lifting heavy and "bulk"

    Same here. I noticed many women my age (50+) thin, but shapeless. I've heard several women say that their body is taking on an old lady shape. I think our shape changes because we lose muscle as we age. IMO weight lifting is the fountain of youth, so bring on the muscle!:D I would rather move...
