Thanks for the post Trevor- as you know I've become a huge fan of the high intensity interval training, I can't emphasize enough that it will work for fat loss. Keep the eating clean and the intensity HIGH (and difficult- you shouldn't be able to do it for longer than 20-30 minutes). You'll...

Good afternoon- Its a beautiful day here so I wanted to check in for a quick moment to see what's going on. Sabine, glad you had a good time w/Rhythmic Step! Good luck w/your paper- yuck. Looks like I'm going to do legs/shoulders S&H today to give my joints a rest from HIIT and my chest is...

Susan, BootCamp would be considered high-intensity interval training but there is usually not so much of a break in between the cardio. I try to keep the cardio very high (apparently 93%:o haha), slow down for a short breather and then do it again. If I can't get outside to run hills I'll take...

Good morning everyone~ My sitter is here so I'm about to run out and get some coffee and a pedicure (my splurge!) but thought I'd check in first. I ended up doing another HIIT yesterday to see if my heart monitor worked. I obviously need to set it to my own heart rate instead of what it...

Elizabeth, congrats on the new peepers- everyone I know who has had it done thinks its great to be able to see. My husband got his done and actually said the sweetest thing when I asked him why he would do it and he said it would be nice, after all these years, to be able to actually "see" me...

Wayne- NEVER a pester! If you think something may be wrong go and get another opinion or get another PC. If it is actually caused by stress there should be some way to relieve it so this doesn't continue... HTH:-)

Good morning everyone~ Yesterday was hectic and the weather was beautiful so we tried to stay outside as much as we could. Tues I ended up doing HIIT to Cathe's Imax 1 using the jumping segment repeated 10xs twice - I had time during long naps and felt really good. Then I threw in ME...

CinDee, from what I gather true honest-to-goodness HIIT should only be 15-20 minutes in length. You could do 30 sec high intensity and one minute of recovery- the actual high intensity does need to be as tough as you can physically handle. Maybe 5.5mph but at an incline. When you're...

Thanks CinDee- I'm starting to feel like I'm sounding like a broken record but I feel the same way... I'm not positive about the fat loss but looking in the mirror I don't think my eyes are playing tricks on me, I think I'm looking better! The treadmill is a perfect example of HIIT since you...

Good afternoon everyone~ Wow Kim, that's a pretty terrible way to start the day. The only good thing is it can only get better when it starts that badly! Here's to hoping for a brighter tomorrow sans the dog vomit.x( Today I did HIIT using Imax1 (jumping/lunges/plyo jacks) and I'm going...

RE: Hey Bren... Thanks T- you've been a great inspiration! Its definatly been a love/hate thing, but so wonderful when its over. I wish Cath would make some type of HIIT workout so I don't have to mix/match it myself. Watch out or I'll HIIT myself to Annapolis and give you such a pinch...

Wayne- All depends on how much water I've drank before bed (and if pregnant, forget about it!) but since we have different plumbing I'm not sure that will help you. I know you've had this problem for a while- did you end up getting a second opinion? Please do so if you haven't- I'd hate to...

Trevor is totally right- I've been doing it for a few weeks now either running hills, sprinting or taking segments from Imaxs or Bootcamp. If you want to use Cathe's workouts for HIIT take the HARDEST ones you can find and repeat (i.e. #9 of Imax2). HIIT should be done for only 20-30 minutes-...

Jackie- I have just become a convert who used to work out with the full 65+ minutes of cardio plus full body workouts w/weights. I'm now doing HIIT (high-intensity-interval-training) 3xs per week - think the very hardest cardio blast that Cathe does and do it 8-10 times with a slight rest in...

Good afternoon everyone- Not sure what I'm going to do today... yesterday was a day off so I may join you CinDee and do PUB today or I may do SuperSets. I'm going to try to get up early tomorrow a.m. to get my HIIT finished before everyone wakes up. Hope everyone is having a good day-...

Good afternoon everyone~ Quick check-in... yesterday was ME except for chest/back which I did Thurs. Today was HIIT w/running hills- glad its over. Tomorrow is a day off:-) CinDee, I hear you- all the sudden this weekend has 2 games/practices/playdates galore after weeks of nothing...

Can anyone recommend a good tape for body measurements and where you can find it? I know we've covered this subject before but I can't find it. Greatly appreciated! Brenda

Another great website is www.stumptuous.com from Krista Scott-Dixon. She writes fitness articles and gives really good advice regarding women and training. With all the information out there you may be able to train yourself without having to rely on a personal trainer, especially without...

Ditto. Do NOT get on the scale- its the worst motivator out there. If you're feeling good about your body and get on the scale and its a few pounds heavier, should that diminish your feelings about your body? I've actually gained 5 lbs since I've been working out more intensly with...

Good Morning everyone~ Yesterday was busy so I didn't get to see how everyone was doing- the weather is finally getting warmer so the kids can all go outside. Spring break won't be a total wash this year. Wed I ended up doing the first half of IMAX1 for heartrate and moved onto S&H legs...
