    Frustration with weight gain

    Your calories are too low for the amount of exercise you're doing. Either cut back on the exercise or eat enough to fuel your workouts. Low calorie diets work very well initially because it's a shock to the body, but in the long term, they set you up for failure. If you've been eating only...

    Workouts with the best ab work

    I really like the core work in Bootcamp and Cardio & Weights. I don't like doing all the plank stuff, but it is sooooo effective.

    Which Cathe workout...

    Like you said, Natty, the more you do step, the easier it gets and once you learn the routine, it's so much fun. To me, the more complex routines are the most fun once you learn them. Everytime I try a new step routine, it takes a few tries before get the routine down, but once I do, it's the...

    Which Cathe workout...

    In the past, Bootcamp was terrifying. There was so much in that workout that I just couldn't do it. The first two times I tried it, I couldn't make it past 15 min. Burpees in the warm-up?! Now it's one of my favorite workouts now that I can do all of it. The first time I got through that whole...

    Need a yoga suggestion

    I feel the exact same way you do about yoga. It's soooooo boring to me, but I came across a yoga workout that I actually like. It's called Power Yoga by Jeanette Jenkins. I actually look forward to doing this one. I recommend this one to anyone who gets bored to tears while doing yoga. Her...

    Hope everyone's having a good week. STS is going great. So far, it's not as tough as I expected, but then again, it's only the first week. I'm sure it'll get much tougher as the weeks progress. I can say that I've never done that many push-ups in one workout (disc 1). That part was really tough...

    Slide & Glide voted Best Boredom Buster

    Yeah we Cathe addicts just can't help ourselves. We need help, lol. In all seriousness, I can appreciate the talents of other instructors as well. Cathe's workouts are not all that I do. I also like and do workouts by Jeanette Jenkins, Turbofire, Michelle Dozois and a few others. I just think...

    I think so too. The LIS workouts could have easily made up most of the list.

    Shoveling is a good enough workout. I can understand you not wanting to do anything else.

    I love Muscle Endurance. It's still one of my favorites after doing it for so many years. And yes, she politely kicks our butts. Gotta love her.

    Slide & Glide voted Best Boredom Buster

    In the March issue of Fitness Magazine, Cathe's Slide & Glide was voted Best Boredom Buster in their list of the 10 best new DVDs. I was glad to see her on the list. I get a little irritated when I see lists like that and she's not on there. IMO, she should be on every magazine's list of the top...

    Good evening everybody, This week has been a struggle. TTOM. I usually feel pretty drained during that time. Yesterday, I had no energy so I took a rest day, but managed to workout Mon-Wed. Today I was glad that I woke up with my usual energy. I did Kick, Punch, & Crunch. I used the heavy bag...
