Just got through watching the Dr. Oz episode with the Wheat Belly author. Has anyone had any success trying to go wheat free or lower carb? Any suggestions for bread alternatives..something to make sandwiches with? I tried making an almond flour bread and it came out so dense and dry (didn't...

Hi everyone-- Does anyone have anywhere online (with comparable prices) that you buy supplements or health food items (spices, rice, oils) that you haven't been able to find in your local store? I have used Amazon for some things but have wound up overpaying for items. Thanks all!

Have any other Cathletes had this done? I thought it was an interesting experience... No eating or drinking two hours before hand...you have to wear spandex workout gear or swimwear to make sure there is no air in your clothing; they also have you wear a fabric swimcap to compress your hair...

Hi everyone :) I was wondering if anyone has any favorite videos that you reach for on days that you are too sore to do anything high impact or do kickboxing moves. I just started STS on Wednesday w/ Disc 3 and my hamstrings and glutes are so sore that it had me practically waddling around...

Wondering if anyone has any advice for dealing with the symptoms of hyperthyroid in an elderly cat. My cat is 17 years old and currently on some medication prescribed by the vet for her hyperthyroidism, but some of the issues that we're still dealing with are: 1) that she often vomits clear...

What activities have you done that have gotten you into really good shape? I've been having trouble working out consistently and am thinking that taking up something like martial arts, dance, tennis, etc. would be a good idea (and perhaps keep me from yo-yo-ing the same 8 pounds all the time..!)...

Wondering if anyone else has experienced a bad reaction to using colon cleanse products. After my first night of taking RenewLife Total Body Rapid Cleanse, I am sick as a dog (vomiting every hour or so, some diarrhea (sorry TMI). There are three components..one has some herbs and I took that one...

I was wondering if any of the Personal Trainers that frequent this board could help me out by filling out this short survey for a class I'm taking to prepare for the ACE Exam. :) 1. Are you a certified personal trainer? 2. What organization(s) are you certified by? 3. Do you work...

Cathe, I know you don't like to talk too much about your diet, but I'm curious if you just consistently eat clean and the same amount or if you go through traditional bulking and leaning cycles? Eating more when you're trying to gain muscle? Thanks, Kathleen

Hi everyone, I'm currently losing weight by following a low calorie plan. I'm satisfied with all of my results so far, but this summer I want to focus on gaining muscle/achieving muscle definition. What does this mean for me in terms of adjusting calories once I reach my goal as far as fat...

I have a couple of questions.. 1. I hear different people saying that some of the different certifying organizations are more prestigious than one another. Which ones do you have and based on what you've heard how would you rank them? 2. Do any of them have longer training classes than...

Has anyone used one of these machines? It's kind of like a rotating series of little steps. My gym has one, I was thinking of giving it a try..I'm curious whether it's effective or not. Safe to use regularly?

A couple weeks ago, a few of you said that you had gotten this issue. Has anyone consistently been using any exercises from here? Which ones? Been having good results? Thanks, my derriere needs help! :+ :)

Hi Michele. :) I know that you hate cardio ;), so I wanted to ask you how you plan out your strength workouts, do you follow a rotation? Alot of Cathe's cardio is too advanced for me right now (especially choreography wise) though I do like Basic Step/KPC. I was wondering if you had any...

Any vegans or vegetarians out there, I was just wondering if you had a brand of vitamins/supplements that you recommend? Thanks. :)

I'm looking for a great pair of jeans that looked really polished, can be dressed up with boots or heels..I'd love to have a dark blue pair that hold their color really well.. (no fading, argh!!) I was looking at posts about different brands..Seven, Lucky, etc. Can anyone recommend something for me?

If I'm running short on time at the gym, I'll admit that I'll do shoulders, biceps, and triceps only. Am I making a big mistake by neglecting chest and back? Another question is about abs..right now my abs are being worked approx. twice a week with a once a week ab class and then pilates. I...

I'm especially interested in portions for maintenance. I'm in the process of losing weight and I'm currently following the Jenny Craig program so it's all set out for me, no problems. But I need to keep the weight off, so when I gradually return to regular food, I'd like to know what I'm doing...

I just recently joined the gym and me and a friend met for a free session with a trainer and she set up a routine for arms with one exercise for each muscle group, 3 sets of 12-15 reps each. Is this enough to see results? My friend told her that we basically wanted to stay toned, which is...

So, me and a friend just joined the gym today and we want to try out all the different classes. Our gym offers a beginners spin class but it doesn't fit into our schedule..would we be making a big mistake to go straight into the regular class that's an hour long? I think it'll actually be...
