    Anyone out there with chronic illness??

    Thanks Jane :) I'm getting much better at dealing with set backs, and I know I'll get through it! The great things about Cathe's workouts is that I WANT to do them, and she's so encouraging that I know even as I do them with any modifications I'm still getting an excellent workout. And...

    Anyone out there with chronic illness??

    Hi Cathy -great! Even it is just the two of us it'll be enough :) I'll post it this weekend as an official start for Monday. In the mean time, feel free to message me, or continue to post in this thread. For example, I had a really crappy day yesterday and my planned 5km walk turned...

    Anyone out there with chronic illness??

    Thanks Jane! I would certainly say fibromyalgia counts as chronic...thanks for the supportive words. The reason I posted was that there are lots of check ins and challenges, but I know I can't necessarily commit to them, and figured there must be others out there on the forums that might be...

    Anyone out there with chronic illness??

    Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone out there is using Cathe workouts while dealing with a chronic illness? I'd kind of like to start a check-in/challenge thread for any of us that sometimes can't manage regular rotations or challenges. Somewhere we can perhaps share our challenges and gain...

    Anyone in Canada still waiting?

    Waiting on The Rock Still waiting in Newfoundland, but that's no surprise. Seems to take things several days longer to reach here than anywhere on the mainland. Anytime this week would be a pleasant surprise, but not expecting it until the week after. I'm trying to building up some stamina...

    STS Shock Cardio vs. Shaun T's Insanity

    Great info guys - my husband and I just got Insanity to do, just because we've been doing Cathe's HIIT and some hyperbolic resistance training (using bodyweight), and love those workouts. I don't think I'll neccessarily do the full Insanity 'program', as we're working with an online trainer...

    HiiT Parade

    Hey Elsie :) I think with HIIT there is a huge mental component, you're absolutely right! If halfway through the interval you aren't suffering, you need to pick it up a notch somehow... As for going harder, sometimes I do speed up, but sometimes I slow down a bit and really focus on...

    HiiT Parade

    Ah! Well that makes much more sense! Hats off to you for doing it at all - one of the reasons I love HIIT is that I really hate extended cardio (unless it's a hike or bike ride or some kind of sport for fun)! I'm naturally inclined to be a sprinter, not an endurance person, so they're right...

    HiiT Parade

    Missing the point? Not to knock your achievement at all - it's very impressive -but the whole idea of HIIT is that you work so hard in the a short period of time that you CAN'T do more than about 20 minutes. If you're able to do all that in a row, you aren't doing the program for its...

    A question about the $$ of the power tower

    Wow! That's really reasonable! I was expecting it to be a bit more, honestly. I know I'll pay for having missed the pre-order, but I'm sure it'll still be well worth every penny.

    A question about the $$ of the power tower

    HI all - for those of you who pre-ordered the tower, how much did it cost? I didn't pre-order mine and didn't even see the advertisments. I'm definitely going to get it, but was wondering about a ball-park on the price for the regular order. Cheers!

    STS in September

    STS in September - with a bit of a twist Hey all - I'm also starting STS in September. I did Meso 1 earlier this year, but got side-tracked from my fitness goals due to a hectic schedule. Also, I found that I wasn't doing enough yoga to keep my old injuries happy...it really is a fine line...

    Nutrition Manager Recipes not working

    Hi there - my nutrition software isn't allowing me to do recipes today. I can do pretty much everything else, but the system freezes and gives error messages when I try to do recipes. I know it's the long weekend in the US, and it isn't dire, so hopefully next week you'll have a chance to...

    Linking with Nutrition Software?

    Hi there, I'm not sure if this is already possible, and I simply haven't found it yet (I've only been using the nutrition software for about 3 days), but is there a way to link the nutrition software to the WM in terms of calories burned? The range of calories the nutirion software has...
