    Cathe, have you ever seen this exercise?

    It must be for obliques, I can't imagine what other muscle group it would work, although who can tell these days with the wacky stuff trainers keep coming up with. Anyway, at the gym last night I saw a woman doing this: She sat towards the rear of a bench, upper body leaning back at an...

    hypothetical question

    I would still work out as much, but I'd eat like a pig. :9

    Do you think Cathe...

    I think she knows. Just take a look at all the thank yous on the Ask Cathe board. Personally I think Cathe's so lucky--she gets to touch so many people's lives & really change them for the better, not to mention making a career & being extremely successful with something she truly loves...

    Anyone had to deal with callouses/bunions?

    Sham, I get corns on both baby toes, man they can hurt--I had them removed by the dr. & he said I should have surgery.........both toes curl in & he told me I needed to have a knuckle removed in each toe to prevent corns. Six weeks recovery, ugly shoes & all........I told him he must've lost...

    Is there a law against this?

    Yes, definitely call city hall & ask for the code enforcement dept. or the building dept. Everything you listed in the first paragraph are violations & he can be fined up the wazoo for them, especially the critter problem. Typically I think they have 48 hours to comply. Also contact your...

    Days off Before negative impact

    For me it's about 2 weeks. I've taken almost 2 weeks off once or twice & noticed a definite difference in my strength training. I always stayed with the same weights but I'd be doing 6-8 reps instead of 8-10, and I was definitely struggling to do it. Oh, & the DOMS the 2-3 days after was...

    Funk Busters?

    Shonie, would you like me to come down there & bust your funk for you? ;-) I've been having a pretty rough time myself personally lately. What has helped has been lots & lots of exercise (always a great stress reliever), spending time with my friends & family when I can, & truthfully just...

    3 Month Post Cathe Road Trip Checkup

    Well, I broke through a 5 year fitness plateau two months BEFORE the road trip b/c I wanted to be in the best possible shape for the trip, but I've stuck with the "really pushing myself" routine & seen really amazing, fast results (based on comments from friends & family I'm not sure it's a good...

    Fat Loss---Cardio vs Diet

    It's probably about 80% diet/20% cardio for me. I know when I go off my diet I'll stay the same weight if I do cardio every day, but if I do cardio every other day or less while I'm off my diet I'll start gaining maybe one or two lbs. a week. On the other hand, if I'm really really strict...

    So now that I already have KPC...

    Kick Max is a VERY high intensity cardio workout. I've actually never done the third section (leg conditioning I think), but the first section is kickboxing drills & the second section is more like interval floor aerobics is a real killer. I only did Cardio Kicks once or twice, I didn't find...

    Cathe--rear delt definition

    I'm great Cathe, so sweet of you to ask, & thanks for your answer. I will definitely be trying that this week. And thanks Susan for the article, before today I think I knew just about nothing about rear delts, so I can start mixing it up a little. Now I feel like an expert! ;-)

    Supersize She

    Shonie girl, you have to see the show to understand. It isn't their muscle development that's gross. It's their voices, most of which were deeper than my dad's & brother's, it's their jawlines & foreheads, which expanded so much from steroid use they look like those caveman dudes on the Geico...

    OK that's it--my VCR SUCKS!

    LMAO! What do you guys think, I'm techno savvy or something? I've barely figured out how to use the main menus LOL. I can't even imagine trying to mix & match, I'd spend more time trying to figure it out than actually doing the workout! :P

    Cathe--rear delt definition

    Hi Cathe--I've asked this in open discussion & from a variety of other sources as well, but I'd really like your feedback. Recently at my gym someone mentioned to me that I had good shoulder definition, except in my rear delts. So we turn around & flex, & he's got this great line going down...

    OK that's it--my VCR SUCKS!

    This morning it broke RS. The 3rd VHS it broke during the last few months. WTH? I guess it's time to go all-DVD. I've been replacing them bit by bit, but I just can't take this anymore. There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a workout & having it bail on you. x(

    Supersize She

    We had a discussion about this a while back: http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=4&topic_id=204574&mesg_id=204574&listing_type=search

    Carushka is back

    I used to love their clothes. What happened? They revamp & now everything bores the daylights out of me. Or maybe I've just been spoiled by KOS USA & One Step Ahead.

    no weights?

    If you're looking for some strength training dvds & don't want to get involved with all the weights & equipment I'd suggest pilates.
