    Cathe's July Rotation Check-in: Week 3

    Hi everyone! I've noticed a lot more people than just the three of us are reading this thread regularly. Does this mean there are more of you interested in this rotation? Just come on in, everyone is welcome, no matter where you are on the rotation!:) Yesterday my body was telling me do...

    Cathe's July Rotation Check-in: Week 2

    Hi everyone! Yesterday I didn't feel like doing cardio kicks, so I did Kathy Smith's Kickboxing workout. Hurray, it's a shorter workout! Today I did the dreaded BodyMax. I think next time I do the tape I'll sub different step cardio. I don't like this routine much anymore- she's got a...

    Cathe's July Rotation Check-in: Week 2

    Hi Marcia and Susan! It was supposed to be a rest day, but I was in the mood for upper strength today. I did SJP, the hi/lo and weights, without the lower. (I did L&G yesterday!) It was nice to do a lighter workout; all the other circuit workouts are tough. Keep smiling!:D

    Cathe's July Rotation Check-in: Week 2

    Today I had the interval treadmill or run lined up- I don't do either of those workouts, so I put in Gin Miller's Intense Moves. I don't remember the last time I did it, but it's got to be at least a year. Wow! I was actually able to do some of the intervals at the advanced level. This...

    Cathe's July Rotation Check-in: Week 1

    I thought I'd get this started, as a few people are interested. I've switched the workout days to suit myself, but I follow the listed workouts for each week. Yesterday I did MIS, followed by 30 minutes of Aqua cardio instead of the intense run. It was a hot day yesterday, and my pool was...

    Who Are Your Celeb Heartthrobs?

    Thanks for the warning! I read the reviews- pretty awful. ;( I can't believe I forgot my favourite celeb- Sean Bean!

    Who Are Your Celeb Heartthrobs?

    Viggo, definitely. What a chameleon he is, whether blond or dark-haired, he's absolutely yummy. I'm also partial to Hugh Jackman, he was so buff in X-men; I have yet to see him in Van Helsing. He can sing, dance and act- he was amazing as the host of the Tony awards. :9

    The July Rotation

    I'm not surprised that you are hungrier! I have quite an appetite now, too. Be sure to eat a well-rounded meal after you workout. With the hot, humid weather here in Montreal my body gets wiped out easily. Yesterday I took a day off from the rotation early; my body wanted to rest. Today I'm...

    Anyone doing the July Rotation?

    Sure, I'll check in with you! I started the rotation on Sunday instead of Monday- don't know why I was so eager to do this tough rotaion}( ! On account of it being tough, I've started to change the order of the workouts during the week. Yesterday was going to ne my IMAX 2 day, but I was...

    cathe- premixes

    RE: I vote Keep the pre-mixes please! I often like to choose a strength only option, or a parts option, a straight cardio option, or a shorter workout. I have never done the Workout Blender. One thing I'll miss though, are having pre-mixes on a 2-workout DVD. :-( I really enjoy...

    Side effects of going off the bc pill?

    I also had a lower sex drive when on the pill, specifically on Allesse (was great for my acne though!). What better birth control than not wanting sex in the first place?:P I new this was a side effect, as it was listed as such when I read up on the medical info. Always read the...

    Cathe or Educated Crowd

    I have a suggestion. How about trying power walking first? As you get comfortable with that, try adding minutes of running mixed in with the walking. As you get stronger, you can add more running minutes than walking minutes, until you get strong enough to run. You'll get there! I think the...

    Supersets with no ball

    I have been able to do modifications using no ball. I use a step bench, a chair, and other exercises I know that would involve the same muscle movement. If you're not comfortable figuring this out on your own, a ball is cheap to buy, as Kathy has mentioned. Try watching Cathe's video pre-view...
