    Superwoman Syndrome

    Don't feel afraid of a week long break. They are wonderful, and I DO have a weight problem. But sometimes, that is exactly what the body need. As to the need to exercise? I exercise because I absolutely love to exercise. But if something gets in the way, and I cannot, well, I don't sweat...

    Slow and heavy Question-- AGAIN!

    I like add on a full body endurance work-out with an SH rotation. It just feels better. I usually do something like SH legs on Monday, SH chest on Tuesday, SH bac on Thursday, and something like ME, muscle max, any of the full body workouts on Saturday. On days I do the SH weights, I double...

    CALORIES BURNED DURING WORKOUT?

    I am 44, 5-4 and 155 and using the Polar HRM burn around 400 calories doing Kickmax. Usually for one hour of cardio, I burn 300-400 calories depending how much effort I put into it.

    sleep

    Just a word of encouragement. Kid #1 was a terrible sleeper. Would wake up screaming most nights and it seemed like night terrors. I have night terrors, so it made me wonder if they are genetic. I had kid #2 right after his 5th birthday, and I remember when I was 7 months pregnant with her...

    Interesting show on FitTv

    I attest that swimming is great. I have been swimming for over 5 years now, and it is great for keeping the weight off and making all those muscles I build from Cathe vids sleek!

    Scar Question (possibly stupid)

    My son when he was 7 got hit by a tennis racket end under the eye and ended up with 10 stitches in a curve under the eye. To make matters worse, the day after the stitches came out he was playing soccer in the neighborhood, and a kid missed the ball and found my sons cheek. When we took him...

    Pullovers for Back

    I agree with leading with the elbows to feel it. 25 years ago when I first started lifting, I used Nautilis machines, and one of my favorites was the pullover machine. When I do these pull-overs on my back, I always think about how I worked that machine and isolate to that feeling. With that...

    HELP!! my 16 yr old daughter wants diet pills

    I find it hard to understand why someone 5-7 and 16 should weigh 133 and someone 5-4 and 44 should weigh 134. What does age have to do with this. I question this because all through high school I thought I needed to weigh 115 because of charts like this. Instead, if I got to 140 or below, I...

    HELP!! my 16 yr old daughter wants diet pills

    Yes, and several of us voiced that the weight is ok. But also, the weight gain her daughter has was do to junky treats from hocky games. We all know that weight gained from junky treats looks really bad on a body, so even though the weight is probably ok for the height, it is possible that she...

    HELP!! my 16 yr old daughter wants diet pills

    You know, I did not read this as the Mom being anxious about the body and food, but the pills, and it is good to go to the root, which is the nail guy. I think the diet pill route is a scary thing and Mom should step in. If your daughter will work out with you, that is great. My daughter and...

    Dogs and dirt

    Do you just wipe his paws down, or do you rinse them. My dog loves to dig and she gets into our nice black Illinois dirt in the flower gardens. I take a bucket of warm water out(even in the winter) and she is even trained now to lift her paws and let me put them in the bucket and swish them...

    Is is normal to stop periods at 39?

    I am 44 and have not stopped yet, but I think this is a very individual thing. If I were you, I would schedule an appointment with the ob-gyn. One, just to get checked out and make sure there is nothing else going on. Two, to get advise on this next phase of your life. Also, try to find...

    HELP!! my 16 yr old daughter wants diet pills

    I don't have soda in my house either, but believe me, I know my kids are drinking it at school. As far as the clothes not fitting her anymore, hmmm. My 12 year old daughter has "sprouted" the last 3 months. Drastically. In July, she was a stick straight size little girls slim 12. Last...

    HELP!! my 16 yr old daughter wants diet pills

    Is 150 and 5-7 really overweight? She probably should be guided to weight lifting and working on firming up, and maybe advised on limiting junk food, and the biggie for teens, soda. I don't think she can possibly be that overweight at that height and weight. A girl in my son's class(he is a...

    Comments about Coremax workouts

    Coremax is deceptive. When I got it, I thought, oh, this is not too hard. then I consistenly used it, rotating between the 6 work-outs offered on it(3 premixes). Then after about a month, I did one of my other Cathe's that I usually have problems with the core work-out, and it was much...

    I think it is more like MIS, and it is really good.
