Hi Everyone! I am considering the P90X program... but it IS a bit pricey. I see that if you join thier on-line club (free for 25 days or something), then you get coupons... does anyone know if they apply to P90X? Or does anyone know where I can get them a bit cheaper? Thanks! Liz

Hi all! I cannot remember the mathematical formula for determining the approximate number of protein grams one should consumer per day... do any of you know? Thanks! Liz

Oh, geez - work-related stress can be just awful!! I truly feel for you!! A couple of things to keep in mind: when it comes to meds, you usually have to wait a week or two before you feel any change. There are so many different anti-depressants out there that you may have to try a few out...

Hey, Cathe and fans, I had been working out after work, then moved it to lunch hour. Now I've moved work outs to early morning (I think I like this best) BUT it seems like the workouts are more difficult. Not horrendously difficult, just enough for me to notice. I am wondering if it's...

My daughter was great - unless I at any pork products! Bacon, sausage, barbeque, ham sammies... isn't it bizzare? It took some time (and a few sleepless nights) to figure that one out. Do you keep a food diary? Maybe that would give you some clues... Good luck!

Hey Cathe! I've heard a lot about muscle memory, but am wondering how long one actually has it. Is it gone after 6 months? Or will always getting 'back in shape' be somewhat easier if you've had a period in your life of good fitness? Just curious about this... Thanks! Liz

Hi Lisa! It's in the "Video and DVD Rotation" forum: "Official Cathe Beginner Rotation" http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=5117&mesg_id=5117&page= Have fun! Liz

Cathe, I just want to send a quick thank-you for helping me regain my fitness which, in turn, has greatly affected my self-esteem. Thanks to your beginner rotation, I was able to start working out regularly again without beating myself up about what I used to be able to do. Now I exercise...

I'd like the same! I can't quite make the leap from the beginner rotation to the monthly ones. I'm finding the beginner one perfect at the moment (I'm really ready to do a bit more by the end of each 3 week interval) but I know I'm going to want to move up from there... Thanks for asking a...

Just a theory here, but for building bulk one uses heavier weight and fewer reps; for "toning" it's lighter weights and more reps. Running is repetitive, so I wonder if your weight would have anything to do with it? (i.e., if you're heavier you'd build a bulkier muscle that a lighter-weight...

WOW! Thanks a lot for the information!! As I mentioned, I've had NO luck finding ANYTHING! This is just 'Ducky'! Liz

Hi! Shin spints can be so painful! What I do is to put ankle weights around the top of my feet (over the toes), lie on my back with legs in the air and just pump your feet up and down. You'll feel it before long! Doing this strengthens the muscle and I've found that it helps me a lot...

Hi Cathe, First off - hope you're feeling better! Everyone in my family is a certified SCUBA diver; each year we have our diving trip and dive 2 - 3 times per day. I find myself pretty tired after diving and trying to hit the gym sounds brutal! Does diving provide any of the benefits...

It can be terribly frustrating, can't it? Are your clothes feeling any different? Sometimes changes are happening that we're not aware of... and when it comes to fat, last hired is first fired. Have faith that the method you're using is tried and true and that you may be getting the added...

Hey - I understand what you're saying! I was in the exact same situation as you - 5'2" around 115, worked out daily (had been for years), ate well, but still had this little belly - a pudge kind of - I wanted a flat, flat stomach! Well, I finally got one, but it wasn' worth it; I had to cut my...

Hey, Cathe, don't worry about us! We'll all be here when you have recovered. You sound a bit down; injuries can be frustrating, especially when it feels like you can't get on the 'up' side of it!! Take it easy - you're worth the wait! Fondly, Liz

Hi Dawn! We are both in the SAME boat!! I, too was an advanced exerciser and have slacked (SLACKED!) in the last 3-4 years. I feel so out of shape - like a ball of dough - that I can hardly stand it. I keep thinking back to when I could do this, that or the other and boy, do I ever regret...

Hi Cathe! I've seen it suggested that doing step workouts only is not as effective as combining step and floor workouts. Is this because there is different emphasis on different muscle groups? Just curious - I love step and could do it every day!!! Thanks, Liz

See? I knew one of you would know the answer!!!! Thanks, LunaCat!!!

Sandra!! Wow - you've been through it, huh? Hey, I have Cathe's Pure Strength tapes that I'd love to send you! Please send me your address and I'll get them to you! You are an inspiration, Sandra. I am so humbled by your message. All best to you and yours, Liz
