Help! I am going to be in a wedding the first of December. I have been "doing Cathe" for a long time but I really need to make some dramatic changes. I am wearing a strapless "shorter" style dress that is open in the back and fits tighter around the waist. It DID fit a month ago but...

Okay, the answer is probably going to be "genetics", right? I just admire that bicep vein that seems to come so easily for men. But, I would be willing to do just about anything to acquire one! I am pretty lean, especially upper body. I would never in a million years develop legs like...

I have been working out with my step for YEARS. I have always used the 8" height no matter what workout or my level of condition, I would just adjust my workout. For example, if I was feeling tired, I would part of the workout on the step and maybe do a few moves on the floor. I am 5'3"...

I did the S&H series for about 8 weeks and LOVED my results. I knew that it was time though to melt some fat, and so with my limited time this summer, I worked about 2 months on mainly cardio with some weights, usally PUB and SJP. Well, last night I tried to do some Slow and Heavy again...

Okay, I am going to try and word my question so that someone besides myself can understand what I am trying to ask. I have been wondering about this for some time now. There are very few people here who post pictures. But, I can imagine how "fit" most ALL of you are with the workouts that...

I have been following (with much interest) all of everyone's successes with the P90X. I did buy quite a few of the DVD's on Ebay. (I have about 7 I think). I am enjoying them quite a bit and even got my DH interested in doing it, as he used to lift weights a LOT when he was in his 40's...

This may be dumb and it has probably been asked before: I preordered the Hardcore series and also purchased another DVD since I was going to get it sometime in the future and for the FREE shipping. When I got to the invoice, the computer automatically charged me the $6 for the UPS ground...

I just finished 70 minutes of the Step, Jump and Pump workout. That is fun. It hits all the points doesn't it? Anyway, I am wondering if I can lift heavy tomorrow? I know that each muscle group is hit during this workout and I DID lift the heaviest I could but it there was only one...

I was having a GREAT week last week, working out and keeping with my schedule. Then one evening, out of the blue, within 5 minutes I was sick as a dog. Stomach pains and nausea, body aches, it came out of nowhere. Well, this was last Thursday. I made it through work on Friday (barely) and...

Okay. I did my Timesaver workout, #2, which included the "intricate" combo #3 cardio segment. I did this once and ended up in the bathroom. Tried it again and ended up at my neighbors house. I hope this gets easier. Next question....does anyone have the Timesaver DVD? At the end of...

If I had never done the S&H series, I probably wouldn't even be asking this question! But, I am taking a month off from the S&H series and doing some other workouts and I haven't done any workouts yet that incorporate forearm work as a seperate lift. I was wondering if bicep work does...

I have been working out for many years, so I have not taken too long to get Cathe's steps down. And as for proper form, I have read and read and done and done, like so many of you, that I have that down too. BUT, for someone just getting started, I think it would be GREAT for a video/DVD...

Okay, sorry sorry, but another P90X question!;) I see that there are the two different systems. Did you all just start with the P90X series or did anyone do the Power 90 first? Just trying to figure out how you have all been doing this!

I read and hear SO many times people saying, "I don't have the body I had as a teenager", and "You can have that body that you had in college" and "fitting into your wedding dress", etc... Well, I HATED the way my body was in high school. I was heavier, NO muscle, probably 80% bodyfat. I...

I am not asking for a miracle....well, maybe I would be but I know better than that. I have been working out for a looooong time and especially have increased my weights in the past 6 months. I have made some MAJOR muscle increase in my upper body. I can't really believe it. BUT, I have...

I have been concentrating lately on building muscle. I was wondering what you suggest as far as the rotation concentration goes. Is it best (better results) to focus on fat burning for a few weeks and not so heavy on the weights and then vice versa? Since March, I would say that 80% of my...

I have been using Cathe for about 6 months now and finally have recovered enough (90%) from my Labyrinthitis (like Meniere's disease) that I "got" in March, to be able to do high impact cardio. Before the best I could do was strength training as I barely had the balance to walk. Thanks to...

:o Oh my. I have been doing PUB for a few weeks and I do NOT think that I will EVER be able to do these. I might be calling them by the wrong name, but it is the stability ball work at the end of the workout. How in the world do you get this one done? I look at Cathe, and I think that...

I just received the complete set of the Cross Train Express VIDEOS! I am wondering, with these videos are you supposed to do one per day as your rotation? Is this mostly a strength program or a cardio program or both? I have mentioned this before, but I did an intense S&H rotation for...

I have searched and searched. It was only last week, or maybe this past week, that Cathe had posted a rotation using the one body part with S&H per week with cardio rotation. Can someone please help me find this again? Thanks!
