    how do I get more toned?

    Thanks!! I think I have it now!! I was just confused about the rotation with weights apparently. I will stick with what I am doing on cardio (varying those activities on a day to day basis) and stay with a specific weight rotation for 6- 8 weeks. Hopefully,this will give me a little more muscle...

    how do I get more toned?

    One more question if you please! Does the rotation idea apply to cardio too?? I tend to do the same type of cardio each week ie kickbox, run ,hi-lo,step;but rarely do them in the same order for an 8 wk period which means I am not using a rotation. Correct?? I thought it was good to change up the...

    Instructor Question

    RE: Yes! thanks for the input.. and yes it does help. It is just as I suspected. You all listen to your bodies (there is that phrase again!) and if you feel as if you have gotten a good workout it counts. If not, off you go! I am just having trouble juggling the time instructing, learning new...

    My 12 yr old is a boy, 10 yr old girl, 8 yr old boy, 6 yr old girl, 4 yr old girl, and the baby is a boy. Too weird,huh? Do you know what the baby will be? We "cheated" and found out on the last one, but we were not 100% sure. Had run out of names by the time he came around so it was good to be...

    how do I get more toned?

    Just wondering about all of the rotation/ cross training advice. I know how important it is to cross train for maximum benefits and to prevent overuse injury.My question is will you still receive maximum benefits if you are changing up your routine on a weekly basis rather than doing 3-6 week...

    Slow and Heavy Reviews

    I only use a barbell when I go out into the "man's World" :-rollen ie my husband's shop where he has free weights and bench set up. The barbell just got in the way in the house. If only there was a TV out there I could have Cathe and all the weights I need! So, maybe I can get away with...

    Slow and Heavy Reviews

    I am just about ready to invest in these tapes. I love all of Cathe's and am wanting more muscle mass in hopes of kicking up that metabolism. My question is what the range of weights is that people are using. And, is a barebell absolutely necessary (if so does anyone know a good place to find an...

    anaerobic/aerobic ????

    I know this educated crowd can clarify this for me. I realize working anaerobically vs aerobically is with or without oxygen respectively I am wondering (hopefully this is not too lengthy) what the benefits from pushing to that anaerobic threshold ( and if you should EVER train w/i that...

    whatever happened to cathe's fit & firm tape?

    I have this tape too! It is a good ,comprehensive tape. The clothes and scenery are definitely "dated" though! Of course Cathe and crew look good in anything so I still pull this one out upon occasion! It is fun to do this one which has Cedie and Cathe's sister I think and then do one of the...

    Does anyone have suggestions for strengthening the muscles around the knees? Isn't this what needs to be done to help "strengthen" the knees? Any suggestions from the educated crowd or the guru herself would be appreciated!

    Good nursing bras?

    RE: I had great luck with this site i am sure this is too late but I buy my nursing bras at Wal mart and Penneys. Hey I figure I will only be wearing them for a year so why spend too much cash. Of course after 6 children I could have invested and gotten my $ worth. I too like the underwire. I...

    Another question about breastfeeding

    RE: A different opinion Coming from someone who has milked cows for a living-- it is all about supply and demand! If baby is sleeping leave well enough alone! My other 2 cents is: I had better luck pumping one side and nursing the other if I needed bottles for work/ outings etc. Use a Medela...
