You all are making me want to do RS tomorrow! I was going to do something a bit longer, but now I'm really wanting to do RS... Choices, choices...;))) Maria

I also love cardio and stepping, so IMAX3 it for me too (I think...). High Step Challenge is a good second for me because I love a good circuit workout. And why not top all that off with Stretch Max... Goodness, this gets me all itchy to get my fingers on the DVD:s and just dabble around with...

Hi everyone, today was MIC and S&H Back. Have to confess I skipped the supermans though; I was really running short on time, and that seemed like the best part to cut out...;)). MIC got me really sweating, it's so strange how the same workout can feel so different on different days, anybody...

Hi everyone, been incredibly busy here for a few days, we're moving to a new house with my daughters next week, and there's just an amazing amount of stuff to do and take care of. Also, I want to get most of the rugs, sofa covers and such washed, so everything will be nice and fresh once we...

Hi everyone, Josie, Susanz, Mari, Laurie, thank you all so much for your encouragement and kind words. Those are the little things that make one push through harder times. Mari, you're so right about hitting really hard cardio when stress is at its highest. I was laughing out loud when I...

Hi everyone, I haven't checked in for quite some time, something very shocking happened to me a few weeks ago; my husband (yes, the one with whom I worked S & H shoulders a few weeks earlier with!) suddenly, with no warning (or I suppose I didn't see the signs, but it's easy to say now) just...

Hi! Yes, I also recommend "The False-Fat Diet" book. It's written by Dr. Elson Haas, and it's got some very good information on these food intolerances, elimination diets and allergy tests. As a matter of fact, it seems to be very common to be intolerant to the exact foods you mentioned (soy...

Hi everyone, It's been rainy and dreary out here in Scandinavia, but just a perfect day for staying inside and making some hot soup and feeling cozy. Being able to stay in is one of the things I still enjoy while staying at home with my two young ones (10 months and 2,5 years). I'm trying to...

Hi everyone, great workouts here again! Laurie, I love the CTX cardios, they're intense and really fun plus it's just so easy to piece them together into totally different workouts. 10-10-10 is one of my faves from that one. Good luck with your daughter, I will still have to wait a few...

Aila, thanks for your comments. It does sound like it could be a nice add-on for lighter days though. And Christmas is coming up...;)))Hmmm...;) Maria :)

Hi everyone, Carole, I too am totally in awe of your running! I did CTX 10-10-10 cardio only and Step Works today. (I put in some extra cardio as I was really munching on all kinds of stuff yesterday. I don't know where these cravings came from!) Anyway, after those, I actually got my DH...

Did I get it right that this is floor cardio high-intensity? I'd love some new non-step cardio, I actually like high-impact stuff, how does this fit the bill? How would you compare the cardio to Cathe intensity-wise? I have Christi's Hi-lo heaven (the fabulous four DVD, or something like...

Hallo ladies, Mariángeles, quite a workout you've got planned there for today! I use protein powder in my pancakes, just add a few tablespoons in the batter. Also if I have oatmeal in the morning, I'll throw a little in there, especially after a weight training session or if I know I won't...

Hi everyone! Laurie, I thought I was the only one who adds on an extra bit of cardio to account for some extra munchies...;)) Sandra, Circuit Max is a great "game", how cute! My 2-year old loves to hop and dance around with Cathe, she calls her "the gym-girl". For me it was S & H Chest...

Hallo ladies, today was Circuit Max. I love that workout, it's one of my alltime favourites for some reason. I know some people don't care for the compound weight stuff, but I really think of it more like "an extension of cardio", that gives a nice little warm-up for the muscles. Also, I try...

Evening everybody, It's so interesting to read what everybody else is doing, and how they put their workouts together. You all do such fun sounding combinations, like doubling up on upper body with S & H and Pyramids like Barbara. I'll have to try that one. Do you do one body part per week or...

Wau, way to go! That is about the toughest Cathe workout in my opinion, you should feel so proud of yourself! I still do every time I finish it even though I've done it a couple of times a month since last spring. It still doesn't feel easy to me, but it's a great workout! I was actually...

Good afternoon Stayfit, your workouts are amazing; Gauntlet AND kickboxing! Didn't you say you just found Cathe some time ago? That's really amazing. But then again, Cathe workouts ARE amazing... Yes, as somebody noted yesterday, everybody does really seem to tweak up their workouts in the...

Afternoon Mariángeles and Dutchie, me too, love the Gauntlet, maybe I'll do it tomorrow too. Dutchie, I'm awed by your running! I just started running this fall, even though Cathe cardios still remain my main form of cardio. Running is really a nice add-on for variety, though. 180 steps/min...

Hi, my RHR is around 44-45 too, and I am also no elite athlete. I work out regularly with Cathe and consider myself in decent shape, but in no way ultrafit either. I always thought it's partly hereditary, though obviously ones fitness level is a big factor. I was just curious about all...
