I was interested to know what people who use Stretch Max think of it? I LOVE the stability ball segment and have been doing one segment at least 3 times a week. I've also noticed that the 1st segment and the band segment also stretch my body in ways I never felt before with all my years of the...

Will there ever be a totally, all yoga DVD?

Was just wondering if people chat much about nutrition/diet over here...or is it mostly for fitness?

I hope this post does not come off as disrespectful to Cathe...if anything, I am seeking to give an opportunity to stand up for Cathe, so I was just curious to know what ya'lls opinions are about this: I've seen negative comments about Cathe's workouts scattered here and there across other...

Saw your picture trail! Incredible! Your latest picture is what I am striving for, and I'm about at your June 2006 photo (just a lower weight, but same in terms of being at the point where it's about getting the final fat layers off to reveal the muscles---and I'm also setting a goal of...

I noticed that Muscle Max has just 3 lower body segments (squats, static lunges, and leg presses), and the rest is all upper body, and then of course the abs. Is this OK? Is there a reason there is not much lower body work? Am I getting an appropriate lower body workout with Muscle Max?

I've always had this thing where I feel static lunges more in the non-working, back leg. (It's not so bad with forward lunges). I've been told that it's because my quads are not stretched enough. I also play around with the distance between my front and back leg, but that does not seem to help...

I'm thinking Cathe does not come out with Yoga videos. So was wondering what yoga workouts people do? And do a lot of you incorporate yoga into your workout schedule? I mostly do the Gaiam DVDs and love the ones especially by Suzanne Deason ... I just wish they made more 20 min workouts, vs...

Anyone know when the clips of the newest workouts will go up on the site?

I'm an advanced ex-firmie and today did my very first Cathe workout! Low Max! When I previewed it yesterday, I was like "YIKES!" in terms of the intensity and the choreography. Just the warm-up alone looked like the toughest part of a Firm cardio segment! But I thought "Well, I can see ways...

I just spent a torturous 10 days not exercising AT ALL, because I had overstressed my wrists and shoulders and knees and wanted to give them a real nice break. Holy cow! I felt like complete and total crap the whole 10 days! I've never been sooooo tired! My sciatic nerve in my leg acted up...

I'm looking for a "serious" fitness magazine. Well, not a hard-core bodybuilding one....but not a fluff one either that is just going to keep recycling the "6 secrets to flat abs" article! Plus, I really get annoyed with magazines that are 75% ads and only 25% articles...and even in that...

I was so annoyed because today I was expecting delivery of Low Max and Core Max as I was officially starting Cathe workouts today....and they did not come in the mail as expected! So, I was forced to do a Firm cardio workout....and in a way, I think it was a blessing in disguise! As I was...

I've seen posts on what to eat before a workout. But I am concerned about the calorie levels. Some are suggesting 250 calories of pre-workout snacks, followed by 250 calories of post-workout snacks. 500 extra calories just in workout snacks seem high to me. Is it OK then to keep the pre and...

OK, I've asked my questions, gathered my facts, and ordered and received my DVDs. Now I am ready to go....except, I don't have a rotation? Can anyone recommend a rotation for me that uses Low Max, Muscle Max, Core Max, and Stretch Max? Here's some info: --35 years old --Advanced Firmie...

Have never really figured out what "push-pull" means. What is it? And what is it's sigifigance in weight training? Also, does it only pertain to upper body, or is lower body included?

Was wondering what the difference is between interval workouts and circuit workouts, as I noticed cathe separates them out into 2 categories.

I consider myself an advanced Firmie...which in my opnion, makes me an intermediate exerciser overall. I already have Muscle Max, and can see that I will be working my way up to completing the entire workout with heavier weights. Now I am just trying to decide on my first Cathe step...

Muscle Max is my 1st Cathe workout (I have been Firming for years). I just previewed Muscle Max, and noticed that, unlike the Firm, there are lots more reps on some exercises, and lots of exercises that do more than 1 set, etc. I'm going to start out with the shorter premixes for a couple of...

I cannot afford a barbell, and all the various weight plates that would need to go with it. Therefore, for the exercises that use a barbell, is it just as good to use dumbbells instead?
