    Tell me what you did when you were pregnant?

    Well........... I haven't read any of the other replies, but I'll tell you what I did! LOL Ran a marathon at 6-7 wks along, Ran a 5k at 13-14 wks along, Ran a Half marathon at 20 wks along. I was in between 2 marathons when I got pg. So I was in great shape for it, and my OB gave me...

    Slimmer rather than thick legs

    Great question! I'm 5'3" and struggle to lean out my legs, too. And clean eating is not my forte, unfortunately. Thanks to Cathe, too, for your insight as a shortie!

    ANOTHER question for runners...

    Let me just preface this reply by stating that I'm more afraid to stand at the starting line of a 5k than a Marathon! Like you said, with a longer distance race you get the luxury of settling into a comfortable pace that you can sustain for a long period of time. A 5k is an entirely different...

    NEW TO CATHE......WHICH DVD TO TRY FIRST

    Hi! I began Cathe's workouts last year. I confess that Imax3 was my first workout of hers. Not sure I'd recommend that. It was humbling. But........it quickly became one of my favorites! My alltime favorite is Step Blast, for a pure Step workout. She builds up her combinations so...

    People trying to lose weight at McDonald's

    Clare, I don't recall (in the Supersize movie)any determination that the food is addictive. I think I would have remembered that part. Did you read that or hear it in the film? What about it was the addictive factor? Or was it merely that fatty foods taste better and folks are drawn to that...

    Ok, tell me what you think about this. ..

    Just piping in to say that my DH doesn't wear his hardly at all. It gets in his way when he works ~ he has a physical job. I think it's on his keyring. I don't even think he wears it socially when we go out........not that this is often as the parents of little kiddos! LOL Nevertheless...

    I3 was my first Cathe workout ever! So everyother one I do gets compared to that one! OMG! REcently I did I2 for the first time, and I noticed the recoveries also! HUGE difference! Wow! It almost - dare I say - felt easy at first. Then the second half kicked in...LOL! Both are great...

    Step Blast

    Hi there! I just LOVE SB and for some reason, it was easier for me to WATCH what she does instead of LISTENING to her instructions for a few tries til I got it down pat. Honestly, though, I spent a week going over the first 3 sections before I could attempt the entire challenge! LOL Now...

    Any female runners around here?

    Hi there! I'm a runner, too! And I LOVE the treadmill. Yes, it's utilitarian for me in that I have 2 young kids to work around in getting my runs in so outdoors is just not always an option. With that said, I tend to be more of a distance runner (I've run quite a few marathons) and...
