I'm not Cathe - but I did write the article! I'm a fitness writer and Cathe fan and I must say Cathe was wonderful to give me a quote when she was busy with a new baby and the new videos. Her quote is inspiring. It's in the March issue. Caroline Knorr

How exciting. "Cathe" is a name I'll be proud to wear. Can you just imagine people saying, "Who are you wearing?" CATHE, of course. Being from chilly San Francisco, I am into long-sleeved shirts - but with a scoop neck. And I love fleece. Caroline Knorr

Go for the buzz, absolutely. In fact, I think you should do a whole "cami" look with fatiques and dogtags -- kidding!! Just invest in some nice warm hats! -Caroline

Six meals a day Thanks for posting that 6-meal a day calorie breakdown, Francine. That is really helpful. I realize this is how I've been eating for years but I was worried because I mistakenly thought I was eating too much. I mean, I instinctively would eat every 2 or 3 hours and be like, "how...

AmyFit's post about her pre-competition diet started me seriously thinking about doing protein shakes, which I once scorned. In fact, I bought some mix tonight and had a glass. I decided on whey protein for no good reason except I always see it advertised in the bodybuilder magazines. Does...

Caroline Knorr I ended up cleaning house today for my "cardio" (ha ha), so I did my old friend PowerHour instead. I really like doing a full-body weight workout, which is why I wanted to do PLB and PUB in one session. One of these days I'll try PLB and PUB back to back but it was not meant to be...

Caroline Knorr I'm thinking of doing Pyramid Lower Body and Pyramid Upper Body on Saturday and taking a rest day on Sunday. Has anyone done these tapes one after another? Was it OK, or am I being overzealous? I have done each tape one time, but on different days. I figure it'll take about 1 1/2...

Caroline Knorr I have a wind trainer, which is a stand that turns any regular bike into a stationary bike. You just attach the back wheel axle to the stand. I bought mine at a biking store, but I think you can even buy them at Target now, although they do vary in quality. Mine was about $150...

Caroline Knorr What a great thread. I TOTALLY, TOTALLY agree with everything everyone said and I so appreciate the courage you all have to speak out! I am sick to death of the consumerism, the materialism, and especially the lack of spirituality. For me, it feels hypocritical to be celebrating...

Caroline Knorr Just wondering if anyone has ever been diagnosed with anemia or knows someone who was. I have been extremely tired, queasy, cold, and dizzy. I've had to skip workouts because of the nausea and last week I felt like passing out after two workouts. I am just not feeling myself at...

Caroline Knorr I just want to say that one of the things I really enjoy about your posts, Donna, is that you are such a great writer. I am a professional writer, so I know what I'm talking about! -Caroline

Caroline Knorr OK, this is embarrassing. I know I'm addicted to Cathe because I've started imitating the way she talks! I mean, with her same inflection. When my four-year-old starts misbehaving, I go, "I know you're acting like this because you're TOO TIRED" (I say this the way she says it in...

Caroline Knorr Well, I'm here on the West Coast and Oprah comes on at 4 so I'm GOING to watch it. I remember hearing a brief interview with her - I think it was after the Emmy's - where someone asked her how she's staying in shape and she said it was with weights! I was so excited to hear her...

Caroline Knorr Hi You! Sorry to hear about your husband. Is he better or are they just making him go back to work? I hope he's all healed. I feel so virtuous after working out first thing in the morning. Maybe we can motivate each other? I do hope I can keep it going! -Caroline

Caroline Knorr I've been trying to mentally prepare myself to be a morning exerciser - I mean, a get-up and do-it at 6:00 a.m. person and today, I finally did it, with BodyMax no less (OK, I didn't do the upper-body part and I started at 6:30). I know there's been a lot of talk on the boards...

Caroline Knorr I can totally relate to this. My son is almost 4 and I sometimes need to exercise when he and I are home alone together. I totally believe that exercising makes me a better mom but I do feel anxious when I am exercising and he's in another room. I completely understand the...

Caroline Knorr Wow, thanks a lot for all the replies. I especially like that tip about drop sets, because that's the kind of training you can only do at the gym -- so it gives me a unique goal. thanks again! Caroline

Caroline Knorr Hi Cathe (and educated crowd), Here's my dilemma: I love my Cathe tapes, but I also need the variety and motivation of gym workouts using weight machines. My main fitness goal is to increase strength, build up my upper body, and reduce the jiggle in the glutes. I like to do two or...

Caroline Knorr It's true. I've been wanting to try this experiment for a long time now. Last week, I had a head cold and didn't feel like doing cardio, but somehow I managed to lift every day with a split routine alternating lower body and upper body workouts. This week, I just did Power Hour on...
