Hi, Cathe, I was hoping you could help me out with this question. I would like to do a cardio rotation this season where I'm focused on fat burning. I would like to keep my heart rate in the 60-70% range, so I was wondering if any of your workouts were built for this type of workout - OR -...

Yikes! It sounds like you're putting your body in starvation mode so it's trying to hold on to any calories that you eat. This will slow your metabolism waaaay down. If you start eating more, you will probably start taking the pounds off. You definitely need to add some veggies and fruit to...

Ok, I'm slow, but what is DOMS?

I have to chime in and agree with the HORROR of kids seeing these movies! As a teacher, I hear my kids talking about movies all the time and am SHOCKED at what their parents let them see. The middle schoolers that I teach are so de-sensitized to violence that whenever they see human suffering...

Hello, all, I've been exploring sparkpeople.com and was wondering if there was a way to enter a RECIPE?? And can you do it so the progam itself calculates all the nutrition information? Thanks, Chrissy

Go to Sparkpeople.com Dani just reposted this website the other day and I LOVE it. It'll give you all that information, plus it's free. Chrissy

This is so interesting! I WILL do this. Making changes is so refreshing! Chrissy

Oh my gosh! You all are so wonderful! I posted this thinking I'd get a couple responses, and I check back today and see LOADS of responses! I appreciate everything that you all have said, and a lot of what you are saying IS applying to me. When I get in a situation, instead of saying I CAN...

. . . how do you get it? I'm really not joking - this baffles me. This is a self-confidence check-post. I can't believe how much I doubt myself with almost everything in life (career, exercise, diet, etc.). Where the heck did this come from? I'm just about sick of it. How do you...

Dani, Thanks so much for reminding me about this. I saw someone post this too, and forgot to go check it out. It's sooo wonderful. I'm also a former Fitday.com user - guess I'm moving on to bigger and better "drugs," huh? Hee hee Chrissy

Has anyone heard of this diet? I just saw a book in the store as I was passing by, but didn't really have time to look through it. Does anyone know the premise? Chrissy

Cathe, I also want to send my support! Please take care of yourself! Chrissy

Nancy, I have heard this also. I thought it was something like, muscle only burns a "few" more calories. I can't remember the number off the top of my head, but it was an astonishingly SMALL amount. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has heard this. Chrissy

Kathleen, I may be wrong here because I'm not sure what FitTV used for their calculations, but I THINK that the basal metabolic rate refers ONLY to the amount of calories your body needs just to stay alive doing normal everyday things like breathing, etc. I think you're supposed to ADD on...

What a great thread! I like to eat nuts, carrots with homemade hummus, string cheese, lots of fruit (mostly fresh, but some dried), dark chocolate, FF plain yogurt with a drizzle of honey. Thanks for all the great ideas, ladies! Chrissy

Here here! Wait, is it "hear hear?" I don't know, but I agree. I love Cathe's products! Chrissy

I also do not mind waiting, and I really love having this forum for fitness questions. I would hate to see everything change. I love Cathe's workouts. I pre-ordered the Hardcore series, but felt it was taking too long, so I simply canceled my order and SNM refunded my money. It was no big...

Hi, all, I was watching Michelle Lemay on Fit TV tonight, and she had a really fun hip hop workout that was on. I'm thinking I might like to try this mixed into my workout routine. I tried to look her up, but there's not much under her website. Does anyone have a recommendation for a...

Looks like this one didn't get locked, Cathe . . . Just letting you know . . .:-)

Hello, all, I was working out this morning and thinking about my workout routine when I started wondering about all of your routines. What percentage of your week is spent on cardio and what percentage is spent on strength training? I think I'm about 50/50, but I'm thinking of doing a...
