Here's another Cathe-fan waiting impatiently for the UPS truck! Besides bringing me the new advanced workout, it's going to bring me the CTX and Slow and heavy -series. After this I'll be pretty "filled up" on the Cathes. I'm SOOO EXCITED!!! I keep checking the tracking, and I know it's already...

Hi, I'm not the original poster, but I'm waiting for the UPS guy to bring me CTX and Slow & heavy as I write ;). Can't wait to try out your rotation, I was just looking for something like that. Thanks for posting it! Have a great day, Maria

You're very welcome. Yes, I'd really like to learn more about these things too, I'm hoping the book is good. Though sometimes I think surprisingly little is known about the human body and many fitness related issues, and in a lot of things you just have to trust your own feelings about them...

Hi, I'm also quite a cardio junkie, and I tend to overdo my cardio frequently..., much in fear of gaining weight too. What I've noticed is that when I really overdo my cardios (start feeling fatigued etc.) my heartrate seems to respond by not rising as high as normally during a workout. I've...

It does sound temptin, though I'm really happy with Cathe at this point. Makes ya think, though... It sounds like the focus is more strength than cardio; am I right? I'm really quite a cardionut, will the P90X satisfy those endorphin cravings...? How does the cardio compare to Cathe, will it...

Hi, I'm juggling with the same issues here. I have two young kids (5 months and 2years), so the only possible time to get an uninterrupted workout is before everyone else gets up. I also find it hard to go to bed right after 9pm. What I try to do is schedule my workouts a little later...

Hi everyone, shopaholic, thanks for the dvd recommendation, I'll have to seriously consider it. Everyone told me I'd eventually get all the Cathes...;)) what can you do, it's addicting! And I do hope you stick with us, Alexis is definitely not too old! Briee, I feel for you with your...

Hi, I ususally use fresh or frozen (I actually love strawberries and blueberries thawed!) berries and fruit for a natural sweetener with bran flakes and/or yogurt (which is what I usually have for breakfast). For even more of a treat, I use silken tofu (great sorce of protein too, so it...

Hi Nicole, Cathe is definitely the best, but there are a few other DVD:s I use for a change of pace. I should add that I haven't really found ones that compare in intensity to Cathe, but just for variation here's what I do: Gin Miller's Intense moves for an interval workout (not quite as...

It is very interesting to hear where other active people are able to maintain and not lose muscle, good thread. I'm quite active (95% Cathe), working out 6 days per week, 1-2 hours per week. I do 5-6 cardio workouts, and 3-4 weight workouts on top. I'm still trying to figure out my ideal intake...

I don't think it will stop you from losing weight if your caloric intake is right for losing weight. But I don't believe all the chemicals and sodium are good for you either, and I do think you have the least cravings and water retention when you're eating healthy and clean(and no sodas). I...

Mari and Carole, thanks again for your answers! Yes, I can't maintain that 90% for very long either, but it does feel like it actually makes a difference to get there even for a short time. I can totally see why you shouldn't do these workouts 2 days in a row (and I don't think I'd want to do...

Carole and Mari, thank you very much for you answers, yes, they answered a lot of my questions. I'm going to get that S.Edwards book, thanks for the link also. My goals are pretty much to maintain my weight and maintain/improve my cardiovascular fitness, though I don't have any special...

Hi educated crowd, I have a Polar M51 heartrate monitor, and I’ve been trying to figure out about max heartrates and good training levels. I’d really appreciate any insight you have on the issue. So, here we go: First of all, has anybody had their max heartrate tested? How was it done, and...

Briee, thanks so much for your description. I think the PX90 will have to wait on my part, and hour of pull-ups and push-ups sounds above my league...;) Plus I think I'm more of an endurance type, so I'd probably have a pretty hard time with it... Maybe some day, who knows...:) Maria

Briee, I can't believe you! Taking your cast off and doing the "ab ripper"...sounds really bad...:) :)!!! (in a good way I mean). What do you think of the PX90 now that you've done it some; is it comparable to any Cathe's? I understood from some threads that the cardio wasn't that tough, are...

Hi, same exact thing here. Two children, first delivery cesarean, and I do have that pouch in my lower abdominal. I should mention that abs is also where I gather my fat first in any case, which of course doesn't help the problem. I exercise regularly, consider myself farely fit and eat I...

Shopaholic, thank you very much for your concern, and you are very right. I'm really struggling to not feel fat and think I'm losing control if the scale shows more than before. I haven't really had a chance to maintain my weight (I've lost about 35-40 pounds within 1-2 years) with the...

Hi everyone, enjoying beautiful spring weather here too. The garden has burst within the last week, and we had our first barbaque in the weekend. Gosh, just grilled chicken breast, champions, onion, zucchini...yummy, yummy, and very healthy! Anyway, I'm trying to eat really healthy as I...
