This morning I had to go for a biopsy and I was sooo frightened. I have a huge phobia about needles. The procedure took about 45min. This morning I did the step/weight circut from SJ&Pand step blast. I'm glad I did b/c the surgeon sd no upper body exercise for 5 days to 1 week :(. I'm...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering has anyone ever had this procedure performed and if so was it in a hospital or doctor's office and was it painful. Thanks:)

I'm lying here in bed ready to fall asleep when I realized my DD had a b'day party to go to this afternoon that I completely forgot about!x( On Friday, I was diagnosed with a bad case of Shingles, being focused on that, I forgot to RSVP that we couldn't make it. This has never happened to...

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd pass this by as a suggestion: Sometimes I substitute the stability ball instead of using the bench. It changes the focus of the entire exercise, not to mention firing the abs as well as glutes!:) I use this every so often to shake things up.;-)

Today my DD and I saw Return of the King which is the last installment in the Lord of the Rings series. All I can say is WOW. If you get a chance after the holidays, go see this movie. It was awesome with great special effects -- the movie just flew by. My daughter also liked it.:)

Would anyone still have the thread that lists where you can purchase the BB workout clothes? I thought I saved it but didn't :( Thanks :)

Has anyone tried this training technique? Training one side per day (i.e, left shoulder, bis and tris, next day other side. Then train chest, back and legs bilaterally as you normally do). In this months' Muscle & Fitness Hers there's a training program that outlines this type of workout...

Hi Cathe, Thanks for the May rotation. I tend to get bored very easily with rotations, but this one has a little bit of everything in it. I look forward to "what's coming up" each day instead of oh boy here we go again! I think it's a great idea to make these rotations with variety to...

Hey everyone, Just got off the WW message board at WeightWatchers.com, it seems Splenda has calories. One of the WW members contacted the company that makes Splenda, 1 packet has 4 calories and 1 cup is 96 calories. Just wanted to pass this info along. According to recent research...

Hi Cathe, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the Intensity Series! But I have a question regarding the Terminator workouts. Are they considered "circuit style"? This is how I would classify them -- but I may be wrong. Thanks:-)

What's the difference between these two workouts. I have both of them and like them alot (I haven't done MIS in a long time), I do other Cathe/Firm weight tapes. Right now I'm doing the Total Body Blast rotation and tacking on CXT cardios and subing PLB with LL or SL or other Firm Lower Body...

Has anyone tacked on additional cardio (like CXT cardios) to the Advanced Total Body Blast Rotation? It just seems like there isn't enough cardio in it? Has anyone actually lost bodyfat from this rotation? If so I'd like to know your results. Thanks:-)

I was just wondering -- I might have posted this ? before but... does it matter how many calories you consume per meal? I read in Muscle & Fitness Hers that you should limit your caloric intake to 400 calories per meal and 150-200 per snack to reach your total caloric intake for the day. I...

I (tried) to complete BodyMax last night. I made it through 20minutes and was dripping with sweat. My heart rate was through the roof. It's funny, I can hop on the treadmill and do a 3-4 mile run no problem. But these longer Cathe tapes are tough. I breeze through SuperCardio, Firm weight...

I was just wondering, what are the advantages of doing a Total Body Weight workout versus a body part split (i.e, MIS or Firm Total Body Weights versus PS Bodypart Tapes OR a Upper and Lower Body Splits) on alternate days. Do the Total Body Weight workouts promote more of a cardiovascular...

I've done the Firm's 90 day rotation which was a killer -- especially toward the end. Would anyone like to attempt to create a 90 day rotation using all Cathe workouts! The goal for rotation should be increased muscle gains and reduction in bodyfat. Cathe surely has enough workouts in her...

Yesterday was my "rest" day from working out. So naturally I couldn't just sit out a day, I tried to learn IMAX. Well, what a shock. I could only make it through the first 25 minutes! Cathe says in the beginning of the tape that you'll have to "work-up" to this tape. "As you find you can go...

Hey guys, just wanted your opinions on this: how accurate are the BMR formulas. According to the formulas I should be consuming about 300 calories less than I do. I eat clean and currently I am at 13% bodyfat. I train 6 days a week cardio 3-4 xtimes and week and weights 3-4 X per week. If I...

Is it true that some people experience widening of the hips due to squatting heavy? Has anyone experienced this. I have to some degree. I notice that if I just do standing leg work my hip area varies between 1/2" and 3/4". When I did the Firm's 90 day rotation my hips measured 32" but after...

Is it possible to have a section on Cathe.com for Video Rotations. I know there is a Karen or Kathy S. who has alot of them, but I have yet to hear from her. I think it would be alot easier if we had access to them without bothering someone else for them. Just a suggestion :)
