    Postpartum check-in Week of May 2nd

    Yes, I can imagine Mindy's other workouts being better than this one, too bad they didn't have others in DVD. But I enjoy this one for variety, so I don't really mind. I've heard a lot of good about interval express though, hopefully they'll get it on DVD in the future. I wrote extreme intervals...

    Postpartum check-in Week of May 2nd

    Hi Melanie, I think this was the 2nd (or was it 3rd?) time I did this workout, and yes, it is my first Mindy. I actually would have gotten some of her other interval tape, but Collage only had this one on DVD (and we use the PAL -video system, so couldn't get the tapes). I find it okay...

    Postpartum check-in Week of May 2nd

    hi everyone, wau, that PX90 sounds extremely challenging! I'm thinking of doing some Cathe shopping soon too. I definitely want to get the slow & heavy series, plus I'm wondering about the ctx and new advanced video. Glad to hear what you think of those workouts, if anyone has a chance...

    CTX and new advanced high step WO

    Hi, I'm planning to do some more Cathe shopping, and wondering about the ctx series and the new advanced DVD. First of all, I'm wondering about the intensity level of CTX cardio; I love Cathe's higher intensity cardios and I have a lot of lower intensity ones, so I'm really looking more for...

    post partum check in week of April 25

    I am very taken with you going for the P90X! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it (I sound as excited as you...;)))) Pull-ups are hard...wau! Yeah, I know what you mean about the back muscles. I used to hate doing back exercises, but now I really like what they've done for my core region, so I...

    post partum check in week of April 25

    Hi, busy week once again, I suppose it's just the constant business two small ones produce...;)) (I know, only two...;))) Briee, you ordered P90X! I'm really curious to hear your opinion on it! I don't think I'm ready for it, I think Cathe is just the right level for me at this point...

    cirucit max, bootcamp and ctx kickboxing

    Hi, I don't have ctx kickboxing, but one of my all time favourites is definately Circuit Max (just did it this morning again...). The cardio sections are really fun and long enough (I prefer a little longer ones as opposed to short spurts like in Bootcamp)plus it's really tough all over, your...

    post partum check in week of April 18

    I have heard about weightloss not being recommended while breastfeeding, but from what I understand, the harm from this is controversial in the least. From what I understand a lot of medical personnel don't even enforce this recommendation, as being overweight probably causes bigger problems...

    Possible to exercise too much, eat too little, and GAIN?!

    How great if this helps! Yes for keeping me posted, I'm curious to whether this works for you too. I'm sort of surprised not more is talked about this as I think a lot of people (especially those who are trying to lose weight (more than half the female population...??), vegetarians) might be...

    post partum check in week of April 18

    Hi everyone, everyone seems to be doing great, this past week has been okay here too. The kiddos do keep me busy though, and I find myself needing my private time desperately at times...;)). Even a short while does wonders every now and then. Briee, from what I understand it's normal to...

    Possible to exercise too much, eat too little, and GAIN?!

    Hi Mindi, You are right, 1500 calories per day does sound sufficient, I must have miscalculated your daily intake before. I think upping the protein is definitely worth giving a try, it does seem like your intake is way low in any case. When doing weights and dieting the need for protein...

    Any non American Cathe fans out there?

    I'm Finnish, living in Finland. Yes, the shipping adds up, but my Cathe's are all worth it...;)) Maria

    Possible to exercise too much, eat too little, and GAIN?!

    Hi Mindi, Is it possible that the weight gain would be water retention? (Do your rings feel tighter than normal, do your socks leave marks in the skin, do you just feel bloated?). This could be caused by a number of reasons, which I'm sure you know (that time of the month, too much salt, too...

    Work it in or Forget about it?????HELP!!

    We all have been (and will!) be there again, it's part of everybody's diet to have days off!!! My goodness, if you hadn't even had a "day off" in 3 months, you could totally take a few of them, not just one! And don't think you have to "take it back" in the next few days (I know I tend to...

    My experiences with increased weights and less cardio

    RE: My experiences with increased weights and less card... I am also looking for a good balance between weights and cardio. I've always loved cardio, and while losing weight is seemed like a good thing to do. Now I'm at my weight goal (5'4 and about 110 pounds), and would like to add more...

    post partum check in week of April 11

    RE: PRAYERS!! Melanie, I do hope everything goes smoothly and it ends up being a good experience! I remember how I felt the first times when I left the baby with my husband... it wasn't really all that relaxing...;)), but it also gets easier every time they "practice" together, remember that...
