Today, I told my husband that I was going to do a steady state step workout and asked him if I should do Christi or an older Cathe. He said, "Christi. I'm only saying that because I don't want you to ever get tired of Cathe." I laughed and said, "Don't worry about that! Cathe is like Dave...

I expect the standard answer to "How far should you go?" would be to go where your elbows are at right angles and/or so that your elbows don't drop below the level of the bench that you're using. It seems like most people that I notice go below that. (I notice the same thing with pushups.)...

How do your exercise habits change in the summer? I struggle with summertime workouts. I don't like working out inside because it's too blasted hot and it seems like a shame to not be outside enjoying the warm weather and long days. I know I can run, bike, kayak, rollerblade, etc. which are...

Does anyone here have an opinion of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) which publishes the "Nutrition Action" newsletter? My membership is up for renewal and I'm on the fence. I think the organization has accomplished some wonderful things but in some ways, they are a bit...

Hi roadtrippers! It's so exciting reading all of your posts. Your enthusiasm is amazing. I was hoping you could answer a few questions for me: Where's Rhonda? I thought someone posted awhile ago that she had moved back to New Jersey but I never saw anything else about the move. Do...

Does anyone know where I can find some good resources (lists of foods, cookbooks, websites, recipes, etc) for low protein diets? My dad is having problems with his kidneys and the doctor told him to severely limit his protein intake. This will be a struggle for him since he is a "steak minus...

I don't begrudge anybody, especially squirrels or elephants, a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup but I think it's hilarious he was caught in the act! http://cellar.org/2003/squirrelreeses.jpg (The picture was taken by Julie Lewis, a freelance photographer. It was forwarded to me as a "Best...

1.) She is so caring! 2.) She feels like a friend even though we don't know each other. 3.) She is intelligent (as shown by what she says and how she says it). 4.) She is motivating. 5.) She is funny, witty and interesting. 6.) She has helped keep Cathe successful by being such a...

I was looking for a motivating 45 to 50 minute cardio workout onto which I wanted to add the last hi/lo from SJ&P (as a sort of cool down) and an upper body weight section. I came up with the following routine to program into my DVD player. I thought you might be interested. With the short...

I remember you posted about kettle corn in the past. I just wanted to tell you, and whomever else is interested, that I tried Orville Redenbachers Smart Pop Microwave Kettle Corn last night. It was really good; although not quite the same as the "real stuff". :-) Here's the internet page...

Would someone please describe how to do the outer thigh and glute sweeps in Legs & Glutes (right before the inner thigh work)?? I think I was concentrating way too much on my upper body! Cathe and her crew looked like they were really moving their hips up and down. When I tried to do that...

Here's an article from The Americus Times-Recorder on 12/30/03 where they interview Rhonda: http://www.americustimesrecorder.com/articles/2003/12/30/news/lean.txt How cool!!! :-) Shelley

My Kick, Punch and Crunch DVD is unusable!!! I have tried it in three different players so I don't want to blame the players but SNM (pre-BB) posted that they rarely see problems with the DVD's themselves. Usually, I wouldn't post about a problem like this (I have already written to Customer...

This poll is all in good fun. To vote "no" is kind of like when people say they curse Cathe during crazy 8's. We know they still love Cathe! I just have so many mixed emotions when Cathe is saying #9 is the last hard interval and then I'm dying on interval #10. Overall, I think I like it...

Yesterday, I got off of work before my boyfriend and went to his house to do Cardio Kicks. (He has a big screen T.V. and a high-tech stereo system. It's a motivating setting for doing a Cathe workout!) He got home just as the arm drills were starting so I stopped to chat with him. I had...

Hi Cathe, Since you have black labs, I thought you might especially appreciate the following two stories about what a great workout partner my black lab makes...... A few days ago, I was doing one of your traditional ab workouts. I was working obliques and glanced at the T.V. to see you...

Hi Jaime, I just read your post about your future Boulder Bolder race. I checked out the website. That looks like so much fun! Good luck!! Do you live in Boulder? I'm from the Detroit area but go to Boulder for 2 weeks at a time a few times a year for work. I LOVE the Boulder area...

Just thought I'd remind you guys about those e-cards Cathe has on her homepage. I've sent out the Valentine Day cards to some people and they thought they were neat-o. Shelley http://berg.heim.at/anden/420315/love/arrow-thru-heart.gif

I'm one of those DVD'ers who, with great jealousy, has been reading about all the fun the VHS'ers have been having on their stability balls. I decided to surf the web to find some stability ball exercises and found the following site: http://www.sissel-online.com/free_exercises.php It has...

Yesterday evening, after running I was sooooooo hungry. I ate what some people might think was a lot but I consciously stopped before being stuffed. This morning I woke up a little hungry. I asked my boyfriend if he thought that was a good sign that I ate an appropriate amount last night. He...
