Dear Amy Nicole, I am so sad to hear about what you are going through. I had really bad post-partum depression and have been in therapy for three years. I was afraid to go at first because I didn't want anyone to think I was "crazy." But I knew that I needed someone to talk to...

That's the compliment I got today at the gym while adjusting the bar on the hamstring curl machine. I just felt so incredibly proud of myself because I have really been focusing on upper-body strength and it was just such a pleasure to be noticed! (And of course, I was like, "oh...
Caroline Knorr
Thanks for the advice - both of you. I'm taking it!
Honeybunch, I'm shooting for three full-body workouts because I really need to increase my strength and size on the upper body, and firm up my butt and thighs. I think my cardio workouts have been too excessive and my weight...

I need some advice on strength-training, especially my legs. I am really working on upping my full-body weight workouts to three times a week. I find that my legs are extremely stubborn and respond best to the high-intensity, high-rep workouts like Leaner Legs. My question is, if...
Leaner Legs!

This is the cruelest of Cathe's tapes. It's so hard. I have to really psyche myself up to do this tape and I stopped for a long time because the memory was just so painful. However, I did it the other day (after feasting on garlic fries at the Gilroy Garlic Festival...
Aquajock Rocks
Caroline Knorr
OK, OK, I'm chiming in, too, because I lurk a lot more than I post and I <<always>> read what you write, Aquajock - your poetry and prose. In fact, whenever I do plyo-jacks I think of you.
Happy Friday!

Ectomorphs
Caroline Knorr
You guys are freaking me out! I think I'm basically an ectomorph - I'm slim - especially my upper body - but I have a flabby butt and my legs are definitely not skinny. I have ALWAYS focused on cardio with weight-training thrown in somewhat inconsistently. I have...
Caroline Knorr
Thanks for the info. I have really been thinking about getting Cardio Kicks. But I certainly wouldn't want the Powerstrike bandwagon to leave me behind!

Caroline Knorr
OK, OK, you Powerstrikers really got my attention there, but I need some more information before I pre-order Millennium 3. I have to say, I so rarely do any non-Cathe videos. I was thinking about buying CardioKicks - should I buy Powerstrike instead? Do you Powerstrike...

Hi everyone, I just had to write and share this incredible recipe with you all. I found it in USA Weekend (the magazine that comes with the Sunday paper) of all places. I substituted pecans for pine nuts and it came out great. You will not believe how awesome this dish is - and...

I just wear Easy Spirit pumps. They're especially good for basketball. KIDDING! Where have you been, girl? I missed you. By the way, I wear Asics cross-trainers. They look horrible on me, but are the only things that fit.

My tattoo has special meaning!
Caroline Knorr
I live in San Francisco where tattoo parlors are as prevalent as coffee shops! And that's pretty prevalent...You would definitely do well to look into tattoo artist's associations and ask other tattooed people where they got theirs.
I got my...

Thanks for your comments! I had an inkling that this guy was whistlin' Dixie. The main fallacy is that it just doesn't seem possible that he is the ONLY one who knows the true, correct exercises for each body type. I mean, if his...
Caroline Knorr
Has anyone read this book or followed this guy's advice for "escaping your shape?" I'm a "spoon" - I'm not overweight and I'm slim, but I've always had a jiggly butt, saddlebags, and thick legs, while my upper body is thin. As I get older, I see this tendency in myself getting...

I have Christi's Strength, Balance, and Flexibility and even though I LOVE Christi's style, I find the video a little easy and, in some places, a little lacking in form instruction. I do this video when I really want a light day - like if I'm recovering from an illness or feeling...
Caroline Knorr
OMG - great thread! I really recognize myself and a few people I know in some of these quirks. I think some things are truly universal. I am right there with you on the chewing and the gum-chewing. I often have to move my seat in the movie theater SEVERAL TIMES to escape loud...
Caroline Knorr
Congratulations Cathe! You have been such an inspiration to me and your workouts have helped me be a better mom.
All the best to you and your family!
Question for Murph
Caroline Knorr
Murph - were you actually doing low-impact with your boot? I am three weeks post-op and I finally didn't feel totally exhausted today, so I did PS floor work, plus some other leg exercises, and PS CST. But I'm not sure I could do anything with impact -- is that...

Hi Annette and everyone else who replied to my desperate plea for help! Yes, AquaJock, that was me you sent the water-jogging info. to.
I want to thank you all for telling me your experiences with your feet. It really helps to hear from people who've been there. I really feel...
