I am trying to get back in shape so I started running yesterday. My legs, esp. my thighs are very sore. I want to start weights too but I wasn't sure if I could lift weights with sore muscles. Could I continue doing cardio 30min 4x a wk and lift wts a couple times a wk even if I have sore...

I have had a sore back for a few weeks but it is slowly getting better with rest and meds. I think I hurt it running(too much too soon and improper form). I decided to just walk fast for a few weeks and start pilates. I have done pilates once and loved it. Well, my question is would I see...

I have been running for a couple of months now but need to add toning exercises. I have about 20 more pounds to lose before swimsuit season. So, what I was wondering is if running and pilates would give me the results I want or will I need to weight train also? I run 4 days a week for 30min and...

Cathe, I was wanting your opinion or anyone else interested. What is better walking or jogging? For instance, I was told by a personal trainer that it is better to walk on the treadmill at a speed of 4.2 than to jog at the same speed. I would think jogging would be better because of...

I am trying to get back to using my Cathe videos but I was just curious how long most people workout each day and how many days a week. I used to workout 2 hours a day 4-5 times a week and saw great results. I don't know if I'll have that kind of time so I was wondering how long other people...

Does anyone use any type of supplements? I was thinking about ordering Hydroxycut or Suvaril. What do you think? Thanks

I haven't workout in a few months but i was using Cathe dvd's for about a year. Anyway, I am starting back working out and I have all the hardcore series dvd's and I was wondering if it would be better for me to do a total body twice a week or do the gym style and work each body part on a...

I haven't had much time to work out lately. I try to get in cardio 30min. 5-6x a wk and am eating the abs diet. I don't have time to do the whole workout on the GS dvd's so I was wondering if I did the timesavers would it be just as effective?

I have been using whey protein to add to my smoothies and food(I am on the abs diet) and am not sure if I am using the right stuff. I bought it at Walmart it is EAS and has 20g of protein per scoop. Am I using the right stuff or is there a protein powder that has more protein or is more...

I am a nurse with an ADN and work in the neonatal icu. At this time I don't care to have a BSN. Nurses are not paid more and are not different as far as training goes. I don't even know which rn's at work are ADN or BSN. The only reason a lot of people continue and get their BSN is if they...

Hey catwoman, What is B&B spread and figure 8 ps? Where do you get the ps? I have been using the eas advantage but haven't tried another? I started back running today- didn't run much but did 45 min of cardio, and I have been starving all day. This is what I have eaten. b-smoothie with...

The abs diet book has smoothie recipes that look good. I made one this morning and it was great. I used half a cup of 1% milk, half a cup of lowfat vanilla yogurt, 1 banana, and 2 teaspoons of whey protein. You can add oatmeal or fruit to try different recipes. Put these in a blender and add 6...

David Zinczenko wrote the book-he is the editor in cheif of Mens Health Mag. I have read most of the book and it seems easy to follow. I eat a lot of these foods already. I have hit a plateau with my weight also and have been counting calories and have not lost a pound and I am hungry all the time.

I think that there has to be a balance in the relationship. At times I have to be the "boss" and at times he has to be the "boss" depending on the situation. You have to learn how to pick your battles and remember to not sweat the small stuff. Marriage is work at times but fun and so worth it- I...

I just bought the abs diet book and was wondering what anyone thought of it. I eat clean most of the time but am not losing weight so I was wondering if this book might help.

My husband has told me that he loves my body the way it is. He feels that I don't need anything done. But I am doing this surgery only for myself because if I could change anything it would be my saggy breasts. I have done a lot of working out and have really toned up so when I look in the...

My doctor said that my stretch marks will be gone. I would guess that if I ended up having them removed someday that they would show up again. My breasts are very saggy so he is putting the implants on the outside of the muscle to improve the sagging so that will cause my breast tissue to...

I am wanting to learn exactly how to eat clean but would like some info. I heard about the book Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle and was wondering if it was worth the money. Would it explain the things I need to know or is there something else out there? Thanks, Beth

I appreciate everyone's opinion. I have been doing research on this subject and have surgery scheduled in 2 mo. I have finally lost all of my pregnancy wt. and then some so this is a reward to myself. I was left with extremely saggy boobs and stretch marks only on my boobs. I was lucky and...

Has anyone had breast implants? How long did it take for you to get back into strength training after getting them? I would love some opinions. I will be getting implants in 2 months and I'm trying to really step up my workout and eating until the surgery. I'm just worried about after the...
