I didn't feel that the band was a challenging enough substitute for the chin ups. So I purchased a set of 3 long resistance tubing from Walmart. It allows you to attach multiple resistance tubes to the handles. Last night I attached the medium and heavy tubing and did the lat pulldowns with...

It is insane! What a challenging workout. My husband agreed to do the series along with me and now he is no longer talking to me...or you for that matter!! it's tough. The lunges with the paper plates are intense, but I keep losing my plate while sliding my foot back and forth. Does...

You'll have a wonderful time. Don't worry about exercising b/c you Walk, Walk Walk! So, you can walk off all the great breads and wines you will encounter. Most everyone will speak politely to you in English if you make an attempt to greet them and thank them in French. At least that was...

Thanks for jogging my memory about the power tower. I sold my squat rack about 2 yrs ago...it just takes up so much room! Think I'll try the weighted vest before getting another rack.

Does anyone remember when STS was initially promoted there was a picture of Cathe using a rack that would work for chin ups and i thought also for squats...and perhaps as a "spot" for bench press if you don't have a partner. I remember reading that it would be available for purchase in the...

cathe's october rotation included S&H workouts. Its a great "get lean" rotation.

Thanks Dani - I figured I'd try something new and stick to a rotation this month...I prefer to go down to my weight room and pick the Cathe DVD's that I feel like doing that day. (so you know how that goes...Boot Camp isn't always the winner there!) But time for a challenge! I'll have...

Can anyone direct me to where Cathe's Nov rotation is posted? Thanks much!

Dana, I'm laughing reading your post bc I also have a 7yr old boy...and they love reptiles. You should try "Grow a Frog". you can find it online. You actually get a tadpole in the mail, it grows into a frog and they live forever. Seriously, they get to be 14 yrs old. My boys love it...

Hi Shani, I traveled to a lot of meetings and conventions as a pharmaceutical rep, and it's easy to gain a few pounds on those trips because you're always eating out. Here's a suggestion that helped when I traveled. I took along my Cathe DVD's and some resistance bands. I played the DVDs...

Hi Cathe, I'm always impressed with how great your arms look! Do you do any cable exercises for your shoulders? Is it possible to use the exercise bands to simulate cable work? I just feel like I don't have mine as developed as I'd like. thanks! Pam

If your legs can handle it you can surely do step the next day. The best result that I ever had was using only the Cathe DVD's. I did a weight lifting DVD then following that with a step or kboxing DVD. It was grunt work and time consuming...but great results! And you are SO right...it's to...

I remember Cathe saying in her DVD's when working biceps that if the weight you've choosen is heavy, then you may be feeling it in your forearms. Have you tried lowering the weight and keeping very stict form when doing bi's? I too battled elbow issues, and went through the same PT and no...

PT I appreciate your advice. It's encouraging to know that yours resolved b/c, as you know, it can be SO frustrating. I am going to give the PT sessions another try, coupled with some of the PT exercises that you suggested too. And now I don't feel so ridiculous lifting such light weights...

Hi Cathe, Needing your input...I was diagnosed with golfer's elbow and tennis elbow bilaterally. I don't play either sport, but just turned 40 and everything's starts to go. I've had steroid injections with some relief and have recently been able to start lifting again. The only exercises...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a spinning DVD. My husband workouts primarily on his stationary bike & I'd like to get him a workout DVD for his birthday. When I did a websearch, at first all that came up were DVD's of spinning wool to make sweaters! Got a good laugh, but doubt he'd...
