Hey, I love reading brags...here's mine... -I've always used an 8 inch step for all my videos. I've recently tried 10 inches for CTX and am finding it OK. I'm a little short to try it for longer than 30 minutes, though. -I benched 75 pounds today at the gym for 3 sets of 10. Not bad for a...

RE: the top of the hips and across the belly Lynn, I hope you know I'm just teasing. We Marilyns have to stick together. And as for snow, I'm jealous. We've had hardly any. We love to XC ski. We're headed to Banff in two weeks just so we can enjoy some snow! Have a nice, cozy, snowed-in...

RE: the top of the hips and across the belly Dear Kim and Lynn, Yes, I'm getting older. I hit 37 soon. Not 40 yet, but getting there. I've noticed some major changes in what it takes to get the look I'm striving to achieve. I do MORE clean eating, lots of high intensity cardio and...

Donna, I'm too old to be falling off ANYTHING! I now refuse to mountainbike on trails with steep ups and downs...cross country ski on icy trails...run on trails with nasty roots, rocks, ruts and steep ups and downs...but I still rock climb...go figure. I guess if my belayer is paying attention...

Oh, and by the way...you creative songwriter-types kill me. My husband writes songs in his sleep! Good ones!

Lyndle, Too cool! YOU ROCK! Amy

Hi, I like Gin Miller's Intense Moves and Extreme (either Step or Moves or something...the one with the turn drills and side-lying lat pushups in it). Other than that, I pretty much stick to Cathe and some favorite Firms. Or workout with my husband which is always killer. Amy

Hey, Cathe and Donna, Thanks for the information. I'll save my moola for Cathe videos. I already have a stability ball and love using it for abs and other core moves. I'll stick with that. I didn't think I'd have the coordination to do a power 15 on that thing anyway. Thanks! Amy

I read this post and thought "wow." Then I went and measured my step out of pure curiousity. I've been using an 8 inch height all along. I recently added another set of risers for all my workouts, making it 10 inches. Now I sound like I'm bragging, but that's what the tape measure says! But, to...

Dear Cathe, Hope all is well with you. Just wanted to ask you a question concerning a new step-type workout that I read about. Called Bosu, it's one part step, one part exercise ball.(bosu.com) Wondered if you've ever tried it or even heard of it? I'm always looking for something new to try but...

RE: weightlifting Kim, I do weight train. I hit every body part twice a week. I use all Cathe's weight tapes plus I go to the gym. I mix it up with heavy rotations and then try to hit more endurance (Power Hour, Circuit Max, etc.) training. I have definition, it's just that the fat as I get...

I agree with your post. I also find that interval training is most effective. But, I do more cardio than 45 minutes a day. I shoot for at least an hour to two hours a day. Long cardio days, I go up to four hours. But, I'm always training for something AND my body doesn't respond to just...

I love this...by the way, Cybersis, I solved the toilet seat problem when we built our house--a urinal. I get so many people telling me what a great idea it is! Just a suggestion. Take it or leave it, right? In a perfect world... I would live next to the beach and the mountains. My dog would...

Reba, I love, love, love Dr. Murad's products. Try doing the self-test to see what type of skin you have. If you have further questions, you can even email them to Dr. Murad. I have problem skin and have had nothing but excellent results. His website is www.murad.com. Hope this helps! Amy

Annette, I know how you feel. I feel a twinge of guilt if I eat anything with white flour or sugar in it. Oh, and salt is another culprit. I think you're just getting in tune with what your body really needs. I like a cheat every week, but it always has me thinking about how to eat clean for my...

My 90 pound German Shepherd, Mojo always follows us to the basement for our workouts. I make him get down, out of the way, and stay. He does soooo well until it's time for abs. As soon as we all get down on the floor, the sweat is just too much of a temptation and the licking begins!

Hey, all... I had that stomach flu, too! Wow, what a physical drain! Glad to hear you're feeling better, Terri. As for the backs...please take care of yourselves! Good week, considering the emotional trauma of last week of losing my Dad... Mon- S&H Chest/Back, CTX 10 10 10 Tues- Leaner Legs, 1/2...

Donna, I understand completely and commend you for taking your frustrations out on the forum and not on those silly people who are looking for the "answer" to their weight/health problems. We all know that if looking good and being fit were easy, everyone would look great. Eat right and...

RE: Don't worry You guys are the greatest. Thanks for the support. I need it. Who needs grief management? We have the Cathe forum and our Cathe friends! Thanks! My heart goes out to all of you who have lost loved ones. I'm only 36 and almost cringe at the thought of living the rest of my life...

Thanks so much to all of you. I'm crying just reading your supportive words. Thanks. Donna, I am praying for your dad. I hope he is doing better. And as for my dad, I know he's in heaven with my mom and my sister. I'm truly glad that he's not suffering anymore and that he knows exactly who he...
