    modification for abs in Low impact circuit

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask... I just did the ab section of Low impact circuit. Some of the exercises are a little advanced for me yet. Rather than try them and get my form wrong (I could feel some low back strain in some of them) would you recommend substituting a different...

    4DS or Hardcore?

    I currently have the Body Blast set and Drill Max, Body Max 2, Low Max and Butts & Guts. I was considering getting the 4 DS series just because it seems like it would be a nice "easy" way to get cardio & weights every day. I am also interested in the Hardcore series - would it make sense to...

    starting to exercise at 20 weeks...

    I am finally starting to feel better after suffering horrible morning sickness, etc. I want to get started back to exercising, but I'm a little afraid to start back to Cathe workouts because of their intensity. I'm thinking of using my elliptical for 20 min or so to get back into the swing of...

    beginner videos for a preggo?

    Hi Cathe (and others) I know you can't offer medical advice, but hopefully you can give an opinion on this. I've been out of the exercise loop for several weeks since finding out that I am pregnant and dealing with weeks of morning sickness and that sort of fun. I know I can't start back...

    beginner videos for a preggo?

    I've been out of the exercise loop for several weeks since finding out that I am pregnant and dealing with weeks of morning sickness and that sort of fun. I know I can't start back with cathe's regular workouts because they were hard for me before! I wonder if the beginner workouts would be...

    acrylic nails

    I wear them right now, but I thought I remembered something saying that when PG you can't wear them, or that they wouldn't "stick". Anyone know anything about keeping acrylic nails while pregnant?

    Hi there, I read somewhere that when exercising during pregnancy you shouldn't let your HR go above 120 or 140 (read both numbers on different sites). does anyone know if there is truth to this, and if so, do you use a HR monitor while exercising? Any recommendations to which brand? I...

    follow up on test

    I repeated this morning and the results were unmistakeable! POSITIVE!!! I'm so nervous, scared, happy. What a rush of emotions! I have to make an appt with the OB next week and confirm it with a blood test. I'm such a rookie, I have no idea what to expect... Guess it's time to read my...

    control window??? ARGH!

    OK...so I was supposed to get IT this week...still nothing. Normally I have it by Wednesday... So I went to Walgreens and got a Fact Plus test - thought I took it correctly, and a line is in the "R" window but nothing in the "C" window. So does that mean that it's an invalid test, or that I'm...

    general questions - ttc

    Hi all, Hubby and I are going to start ttc. Well...that is if I'm not already. I'm due to start this week, but nothing so far...other than fatigue and headaches and a few small "pingy-like" cramps. Anyhow - Ideally I'd like to get myself in better shape before we start trying, but if it...

    slim series/slim in 6 question

    I know this series has been asked about before, and in my searches I didn't find the answers I was looking for. I know that people's opinions on the systems vary, and that results vary...but I'm interested in a few specifics from those who have done the series - or know about them. I just...

    Slim Series?

    Hi all, Do you know of anywhere you can preview the videos? Collage doesn't carry them. I'm interested in checking them out, but reluctant to spend $60-80 on them. Are they high impact (lots of jarring on the knees?) A 4 week rotation with it might be what I need to get me on track...or...

    veneer question...anyone have them?

    I am in the process of getting veneers. I have been prepped and have temporary veneers. Well the things are worthless and frustrating...I broke them twice in the first two days. They gave me an invisalign retainer to keep them in place and when I took it off to brush my teeth, the temporaries...

    Where is your favorite place to find cute and reasonably priced clothes? I'm heading out shopping today. I saw the Daisy Fuentes line on Oprah yesterday and that looked cute and is apparently at Kohls. Do you have a favorite store or line of clothes?

    dresses - keep them or send them back...

    OK...I ordered 3 dresses as I was looking for a dress to wear to a wedding coming up at the end of September. I ordered my current size, but they are all a little small. One is very close, and that one I'm going to keep for sure. The others have 2-3 inches at the top of the zippers before...

    Knees....

    Hi all, I am just getting started with Cathe again and am doing the body blast rotation. I have been modifying when I need to, and have taken the impact out of some moves. Last night before bed, my knees were just aching. This morning they don't hurt, but when I flex and extend my knee, it...

    must...be....strong.... Dinner related...

    I am so exhausted from my workout today...and then the 3 hours of pulling weeds and dead-heading my plants in this heat... I feel like ordering pizza or something rather than cooking tonight... But that will just de-rail the progress I made today. Hopefully I can come up with an easy solution...
