    Spring into Summer - 6/30

    Spring into Summer June 23rd

    Good Morning everyone, I am slowly recovering from my cold. At least my head doesn't feel quite so congested and tippy as it has for the past few days. I'm taking it easy this week and just doing my 'bare minimum' as I'm in a wedding this weekend and don't want to be coughing or sneezing or...

    Does eating spicy food help you burn fat?

    During lunch time, a co-worker of mine saw my lunch and told me that I could burn more calories if I added spices to it to heat it up (it was having a sandwich, applesauce, and a diet coke). She knows I'm into fitness and such and though I would appreciate the knowledge. Anyway, she says that...

    Spring into Summer June 22

    Good Morning all, I'm still feeling a bit under the weather so I opted for a moderate workout, Reebok Rhythmic Power. I love Petra and enjoy this workout for when I just don't have it in me to push hard. My fitness goals are pretty simple. First, I would like to increase my cardio...

    Spring into Summer - 6/5 weekend check-in

    Hi everyone, Today I did Cardio and Weights. I hadn't done this workout in so long! I forgot that this workout, while considered one of Cathe's easier workouts, is still pretty darn challenging and I was drenched with sweat at the end of it. Unfortunately, I think I pulled my lower back a...

    Spring Into Summer Check-in 6/1

    Hi everyone, Today was Timesaver #2 and I added on Sunrise Yoga to try to stretch out my back. Today started that TOM and my lower back is quite sore and tight. I usually don't get that much discomfort so this is unusual. I'm just happy to get THAT out of the way this week as opposed to...

    No barbells?

    Not Cathe and wanted to answer your question. As far as weight workouts that don't use a barbell, there is Pyramid Upper Body and Cardio and Weights that I know for sure. However, as long as you have a good selection of dumbbells, you can pretty much do the exact same move with a barbell...

    Spring into Summer check-in - 5/25

    HI Pinky, Actually, the quad feels just fine. When I did PLB yesterday I had had almost a week off from any lower body work so I was mildly sore. It was my mistake to decide to do IMAX when my legs were already sore. All those power moves (especially the 3 intervals I mentioned in my...
