    I just recieved P90X

    I just got it a couple of days ago and have been viewing some of the workouts. I think that I will keep it, but I am at a toss up as to whether to attempt it any time soon. There are just soooo many push ups and pull ups. I don't have a pull up bar and will have to purchase one before beginning...

    How do you know when you are overtraining?

    I have started to run and since, I run about 2 miles and it takes me about 20 min. I do this almost every day and if I don't run I do some other form of cardio. Like Imax 2, which is my favorite right now. I also use the GS series Mondays, Wednesday, and Friday. I have my rotation something like...

    What I didn't know about running...

    I have just added running to my cardio. I ran about 1 1/2 miles day before yesterday, and I ran about 2 miles today. I did not realize how much muscle is involved in running. I have done Cathe cardio for some time now and I am sure it helped with endurance, but my whole body is sore. I did not...

    Too much cardio?

    Cathe, I have read that you can actually do too much cardio and that cardio 6 days a week is too much. I would like your (and anyone else) opinion on this. Do you think that a person should keep their cardio workouts down to 3 or 4 days a week? Thanks. Shawna

    Is there a secret to pushups?

    I can only do about 2 on my toes and not much more on my knees. And the ones on my toes are not full pushups because if I go down like I should, I can't get back up.x( Is there some secret to doing them? Does it just take a lot of practice? I hate them sooo bad and they are so difficult I always...

    How much cardio, HIIT, circuit, and weight training should you have to make a good rotation? Just curious because I thought I would try to make up my own rotation out of the DVDs that I have right now.

    sub for hardcore extreme

    Can someone please tell me what I could use to substitute for a hardcore extreme workout. I am going to do Cathes January rotation, and I have ordered Extreme, but will not have it for the end of week one. Is there a workout that I can do that will be equivalent to this? Thank you so much. Shawna

    Question about circuit workouts

    I believe that this question has been asked before, but I am too lazy to do a search. I would like to know if anyone can tell me why or if it is okay to do a circuit workout the day after working a specific body part, or if you should wait 48 hours for that body part to rest. If you don't have...

    Am I understanding correctly?

    Clean eating is fresh fruits and vegetables and If they come in a can they are processed? Is everything that comes in a can bad? What about frozen? Are frozen vegetables okay? I don't eat much meat and I really like the worthington foods meat substitutes. They come in a can, so does that mean...

I have been sticking to...

    Has anyone had....

    A breast augmentation. I realize this is a personal question, but I would like to know if anyone has had a BA and if so, do you work your chest the same as you would if you did not have one. I had one about 6 months ago and I have not really been sure if I should do all the chest exercises...

    Workout times

    Hi Cathe or anyone else who can answer. I would like to know if a workout should be done at the same time everyday or if that matters at all. I work nights 6pm to 6am and on the days that I work, I do my workout before I go to work. If I am off though I prefer to do my workouts late at night. I...

    Is it necessary

    to take a day off? I know that it is suggested, but if I don't do anything for a whole day, I feel bad. I know that it is not, but it is how it makes me feel. Despite the fact that I feel bad about taking a day off, I feel so tired when I try to work out. Today has been the worst. Is this my...

    I think that I have them. I am not sure, but I have had an ache in my lower legs. It feels like the bone is aching. I looked up shin splints on the internets after I did a Cathe workout where she said tapping the foot was good for shin splints. Any body else have this and have any suggestions? I...

    What is the best stepper?

    I have the cheap walmart step and it is not as big as the one Cathe uses in her dvds. I am going to invest some money in a good one, but I am not sure just which one to get. I am considering the step that she uses but I was also looking into the step/bench that she uses in pyramid upper body...

    Supplements anyone?

    Hi, I would just like to know if any of you take any supplements? What do you take and do you find it effective? Is CLA as effective as they say it is and how about all the amino acids like l-ornithine, l-lysine, and the others?
