I read about the HR others typically reach doing interval workouts and its 170 at maximum. My HR as measured by the monitor usually is around 175-190 - very high. Can this be right?

Can I join too? No expert, but have recently made a recommitment to BFFM. Have been sticking to it ok this week, but have found that it gets harder as night approaches (my fiancee is home and snacking on junk, which somehow makes it into my mouth as well). I am working on 1520 (the 20% deficit)...

I read something interesting in a current health mag and wanted to see what people thought. It stated that if your hip flexors are too tight (which I assume could happen if you step a lot) it can create lower belly bulge because the tight hip flexors pull at weak lower ab muscles, causing them...

An additional comment to add: whatever of these workouts you do, really concentrate on making your butt do the work - really squeeze that area to help you come up from a lunge, or a step up, or squat. Many of these exercises work all parts of the leg and glute, but if you really focus on one...

Could you also be overtraining? Not completely sure, but I believe lack of results (and even weight gain) can be a symptom of this. You aren't eating much for how much you are working out (I think - I'm assuming you are doing Cathe tapes, which are longer than the BFL recommended 20 minutes) and...

There are rear shoulder exercises, but done a bit differently (you sit on edge of step, lean over, and raise arms with dumbells out in a V. But there are definitely no step ups for legs. There is a great back workout on the floor - not sure if GS has that...

The post about LL got me wondering - what's the heaviest that people have gone on barbell leg work without squat rack or spotter?

What do people think of this series?

Hi Cathe! I'm working on a 3 month rotation you posted that involves basically all of your videos, cardio and weights basically each day. The strength workouts include your total body ones, as well as 3 week stretches of Pure Strength and Slow and Heavy. I'm wondering, because the rotation...

Kathryn, if you do, you MUST include something about how his hands are strangely near his crotch in many of his poses - what's up with that?

Thanks for posting the link to the other thread - I missed that one! Did you know that there was a rumor spread that he died during the tsunami last year? Maybe it was wishful thinking for some of those who really hate him...

I got great results from Cathe's January 2005 rotation, and wasn't even eating that clean (pretty clean, but not perfect). In fact, I am comtemplating giving it another run this month...

Are commercials for Fitness Made Simple on all the time, or is it just here in AL? What are your impressions?

I'd love to know the answer to this too, as I've experienced the same. I can do Power Hour after a couple weeks break from working out and barely move the next couple of days, then do it again using the same weights and feel only mild soreness. Could it be the endurance focus of many of Cathe's...

Has anyone tried that new lower calorie liquor? I don't know what its called, some tropical name, but Kim Cattrell does the commercial. I think a serving has 45 calories.

Aquajock says it perfectly again!!! Although I'm only 28, I have always lived in college towns due to my work, and so am surrounded by forever young, svelte girls. And I say girls rather than women because in many ways, they are still children just beginning their lives. But I've also, to my...

Is this maybe what Shelley was referring to? From one of the summer check-ins you wrote awhile back: "Good Morning, Soon to be good night for me! I managed to get a 30 min nap.That nap is whats gonna get me through the next hour. I have worked at the airport for almost 2 years so I know a...

I agree that, even if you don't realize it, there are things you are inadvertently doing that are being taken as flirting. You may be engaging in the same behavior as friends, but for some reason (i.e. maybe you are more attractive, making more eye contact, etc) you are being targeted. I also...

Great replies! I definitely agree about working to your own unique potential, and I find that starts to happen for me when I've been working out consistently and am seeing results. i moved recently and was sick with pneumonia for a couple of weeks, so I was too busy and then sick to workout...

Just read the thread about someone criticizing Cathe, and someone said that you could not look like Cathe just by doing her vids. I was wondering what others thought about that, and what do people supplement their Cathe with? I'm guessing the only way to get that muscularity is to lift at the...
