    Texas Road Trip Feedback Wanted

    I already responded to this before, but I'm with Nancy on this -- my vote is for the Woodlands. Not just because it is closer to me, but it does have really quick access from the airport to the hotel like the Woodlands. Plus the Woodlands is a very beautiful place. Horseshoe Bay resort would...

    What's the best sub for pushups?

    I agree with Stebby on this -- that is the exact move that I do to substitute for a push up (I did not know about the fact that I should at least lift 50% of my body weight if doing a chest press to sub for pushups -- thank you Stebby!). I appreciate the information!!

    addicted to salads

    Yes ma'am I love salads as well -- pretty close to addiction! I have one just about every day for lunch. A while back I made a nice chef salad for my husband one night for dinner, so now he likes that a few nights a week (makes it easy when you're trying to think of what to fix for dinner!)...

    CATHE WHAT IS YOUR NEXT DVD?? HOW ABOUT STS 2

    Well I hope your "itch" gets stronger and stronger!! We can never have too many of your DVDs -- I have them all (even ones out of print!). I love everything you do, so my vote is just for ANYTHING!! Thank you Cathe!!

    STS Shock Cardio vs. Shaun T's Insanity

    I use both Cathe and Insanity for cardio (I also rotate a lot of Cathe's previous cardio workouts, i.e. Rhythmic Step, Step Blast, Kick Punch & Crunch, etc., into my routines). When I'm doing a strength training rotation (whether it be STS or just a combination of strength workouts), I'm very...

    Bloating from Hell

    I agree with Jane -- if your symptoms persist, please do some further tests. I, too, had the same problem a while back. As a history, back in July 2009 I kept having low right side pain, so I went and had a CAT scan and found I have an ovarian cyst. Nothing alarming - they said it would...

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    PERFECTLY SAID! Thank you!

    World's fattest mom WTH?

    Exactly! She is more than likely considered "disabled" so therefore she receives some kind of public funding (so she can pay her ENORMOUS food bill, which is NOT typical of any American family, of which the taxpayers pay!) But she does nothing to correct her problem, only makes it worse ON...

    "My parents drugged me"

    Okay I was "drug" to a lot of things (soap bars, etc.) Both of my girls were "drug" to church (even before they were born!) EVERY Sunday we would go to church - still do (and we go to church out of town - an 80 mile trip one way!). My oldest is 20 and my youngest is 16 -- they are the most...

    Jillian Michaels Lawsuit

    I was so surprised when I heard that she was promoting any kind of weight loss pill -- that's so against what she "preaches" on the Biggest Loser. I guess she got too greedy and wanted more money (even though you know they're paying her mega bucks at the BL - do you need more?!). So I guess...

    HiiT Parade

    I'm so impressed -- the only thing I've done so far is 30/30 back-to-back and thought I accomplished a lot! We'll have to see about doing all three, plus the Circuit Blast Cardio! I'm not much older than you -- 45 years, 5'4 and 122-124 pounds. The day after I did the 30/30 back-to-back I was...

    My HiiT training tip: Double 'em up!

    I did the same thing with 30/30 last week and loved it! I haven't tried to double up the other HIIT workouts, but do intend to. I will say that probably you can only do this about once a week -- I really felt it the next day (in a good way of course!). Julie

    Any experience with Ovarian Cysts?

    I definitely know what you are talking about. About a year ago I started having pain in my low right side. I ignored it for a very long time (at times it felt like a "catch" in my side, other times it was a dull throbbing pain). Well, I was scheduled to go to Cathe's RT last summer in July...

    Step or Not?

    I say try it (I love Cathe's Step Workouts -- I have them all)! I'm 45 but have been doing step with her for quite a while. Always remember that you can "modify" anything Cathe does (that's the beautify of your workouts!). So definitely give it a try -- I think you will enjoy the workouts and...

    Have u noticed on the biggest loser....

    I totally agree! I love this show because it does have a lot of great qualities, but I CRINGE every time I see them working out because their form is TERRIBLE! They're just slinging weights "here and there" and is not good. I know Bob and Jillian are supposed to be the best trainers, but I...

    If your husband offers.....

    You have a truly wonderful husband that would offer to do that instead of going away for your anniversary! Take him up on the offer and go away for the weekend BY YOURSELF! Both of my girls are now grown, but I do remember the day when I just wanted 5 minutes to myself! (Both me and my...

    Cathe Video With Drop Sets?

    I think for a full workout, you will want to look at the Pyramid Series. She does drop sets here and there in STS and other workouts, but Pyramid comes the closest for a full body drop set workout. (I can't remember because I usually do the workout as filmed, but I believe that the premixes...

    OK, I'm embarrassed...

    I DEFINITELY ditto what Anne said! Do NOT give up -- I'm doing STS myself (again) and I always have to modify it to fit my needs. Like Anne said, the main thing is you are making positive changes in your life -- it will be tough at times, but you can definitely do it. Always remember with...

    Bootcamp on off days

    I would say "no" because your body needs to rest. But you could do some other type of cardio and then add on the 8 boot camp cardios as a bonus! This is just my opinion, even though I know the Boot Camp weight portion is not that intensive, as opposed to doing heavy weight workout, but you...
