Hi there, I don't typically post anything here, but enjoy reading through the threads. I wanted to ask some opinions of people here. I am looking to gain muscle in my upper body. When I saw beachbody was coming out with Body Beast, I was planning to purchase it. Now that I'm looking at the...

Hi Cathe: I just had to say a big thanks for helping me increase my strength. On New Year's Eve, around 10:30ish, my 96 year old aunt (who is my neighbor) called. Her 100 year old husband couldn't walk to the bedroom so I headed over there to get him to his room. I was able to move him...

Okay, I get this stiff neck, aching pain which I think originates in my trapezius muscle. It seems to come around every month or two for a few days. It's painful when I turn my head and just generally aches - sometimes the pain radiates downward into my upper back or toward my shoulder. Well...

Hi there: I ordered the press play download from the Choose Living website yesterday. I've wanted to get this workout for awhile, but have avoided it because I'm a complete moron when it comes to downloads and getting them onto my mp3. I always order my cardio coach workouts in CD form and...

Hi Cathe: I've been watching the you tube clips over and over again and am anxiously awaiting STS. Anyway, in clips from disc 17, meso 2, week 2 - leg workout, you are wearing a pair of fabulous blue sneakers. Can you give me the specifics on those sneakers? I'd LOVE to get a pair...

Hi there: Has anyone on here tried the continuously clear seriesse skin care line? My skin is breaking out along my jawline and under my nose so I need to change things up. I've tried proactive but it dries my skin out excessively so I'm looking for something else that is more geared for...

Hi there: Like many others, I am in a complete funk when it comes to working out lately. So, I've decided that I have to do/try something new or set some kind of a goal I can work toward achieving that is concrete. Any suggestions on a workout or training regimen that got you out of a workout...

Every few years, I start to feel like I need a complete change in what I do for a living...I'm, once again, getting that feeling after about 7 years in the public school system. I think my dream job is to be a novelist. I'd love to be able to weave fabulous tales and then actually sell them...

Hi there: I need some input because I think people close to me may be too close to the situation. I'm a sped teacher and recently I applied for a job in another school district. They offered me the job at $10,000 more than I make now, which would be great. HOWEVER, I would have to cancel a...

Hi there: I am wondering how people here deal with a recovery week. I really haven't taken one all calendar year, except I have incorporated lighter weeks when I have been tired. Well, last week I noticed I was having a harder time keeping up my motivation and intensity levels, and my joints...

Hi there, I have a question about make up and hope that I'll get some good advice here. A few months ago I started using the new mineral make-up from Loreal (foundation and powder finisher). Anyway, lately (over the past 6 weeks or so) I've noticed that my skin has been breaking out some -...

Hi there: I would like to run in a couple of 5k races this summer. Actually, I hate running, but I think that at some point I'll start to love it if I just keep at it! :) Anyway, after reading all of the posts about cardio coach, I was wondering which one might motivate me when running...

Hi Cathe: I just wanted to tell you...whenever I am feeling stressed, overwhelmed or just blah, I pop in one of your workouts and always feel much better afterwards. Today was one of those overwhelming, blah days and even though I only had 45 minutes or so to workout, I popped in Low Max and...

Hi there: I don't post here too often, but I like to read all of the posts here to get good information. Now I'm hoping to get some advice here. I'm in a position where it seems the income from a second job would be very beneficial to my financial status. I'm a teacher and not making...

Hi there, I'm trying to increase the lean muscle mass and definition in my upper body and to continue to lean out and define my lower body. I was thinking about hiring a personal trainer for a couple of months to shake things up a bit, but I noticed a lot of discussion about the p90x program...

Hi there, I just began a running program and it has been going well, except for one problem. I've found that when I run on the road, the next day I wake up with joint pain in my right ankle or sometimes my right knee. My ankle tends to be stiff and achy when I wake up and usually mostly gets...

Hi there, I was reading over some posts and noticed that there are some expert runners here. I am just starting a running program and am doing my first 5K next Saturday. I'm a very slow runner - it took me 30 minutes to do 2.75 miles today on the road. My question is this...I'd like to set a...

Dear Cathe: First, thank you for the amazing workouts. Although I used to be able to spend lots of time at the gym, since having two children and having to work full-time I've found that I just don't have the time or money for the gym! I could never find really effective home workouts until I...
