Am I reasonable? Or...weird? This is the question I'm asking myself after a slight dispute with hubby. Sometimes--SOMETIMES--my hubby and kids eat hot dogs at home. I hate hot dogs because they pretty much leave me unsatisfied and low-blood-sugary and bloated. So...as the primary...

That's what I told my husband this morning, as I struggled through the floorwork in GS Legs. I was marveling at the things YOUR glutes can accomplish...mine are not quite that strong...and so I told my husband that Cathe's butt could break things, karate chop style. with admiration, Gisela

Hi! Are low-plane lunges (4-day Split) very different from the one-leg squats in Leaner Legs? The only difference I can think of, is in step height. Is that correct? How are the muscles targeted differently? Thanks!

My everyday sunglasses keep slipping down my nose when I jog. What kind of sunglasses do you wear when you jog? Are there cheap-ish options? "Wraparound" kind? Suggestions? Thanks!

Does anybody have any ideas, making use of different videos and premixes, for a full-body weights workout, 60 minutes or less, which covers all the muscles but is especially heavy on legs? For example, something like perhaps pairing Leaner Legs with a short upper-body-only premix from some...

I'm horribly indecisive. Asked a question, but now I'm taking it back. (rolling my own eyes at myself)

Okay, I've been a bit of a whiny butt lately, on the subject of MUSIC. Cathe, it's just awesome that you appreciate the value of music in your workouts, and work so hard to make it really fit your creative vision. Your workouts kick TAIL! I've collected almost all your DVDs over the last 1...

I'm trying to drop, oh, ten pounds? Not sure of my exact ideal weight, but I know I've got at least SOME chunk to chuck, lol! I've been eating pretty darn clean for at least four weeks, since I read Tosca Reno's book, and I've been working out again for the last two months, with a bad week...

I hope it won't creep out Jillybean that I'm digging out a post from 2002, lol! I did a search for posts with "Leaner Legs" in the subject, and came across this: http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=3&topic_id=9099&mesg_id=9099&listing_type=search#9120 which made me...

...changing my son's diaper ON MY STEP. I so wanted to post a picture of it here, for laughs--but--I was afraid it might not be as funny to people who are NOT my son's mother... I've heard of alternative uses for our various pieces of fitness equipment, but I think using a step for a...

I'm going to do Boot Camp for the first time tomorrow morning. Feeling a wee bit nervous. It's the only workout in the Intensity Series that I haven't done. Of course, "done" is a relative term--I don't think I've completed Imax 2, and also have had to heavily modify the ab routines in the...

(this is a LONG post...WARNING) I used to go jogging on a track. Sometimes I would use distance markers as my goal: for example, jog half a lap, then walk a quarter, repeat 4 times. Other times I would use my stop-watch for goal-setting: run 10 minutes, walk a bit, run 10 more, and so...

Have any of you taken one or some of Cathe's killer 6" step height cardio routines and made it even more killer at 8"? If so, which ones come to mind? (and I know of at least one person who just does it all at 8") Gisela

Is my washing machine shrinking my jeans? I don't throw them in the dryer--anymore--I wash them in cold water and hang them up to dry. Still, I suspect they're getting tighter. Okay, so how do I know if they're getting smaller or I'm getting bigger? ("@#%$^&@") Gisela

So, what do you use? Likes? Dislikes? I think my face looks pretty shiny during the day, which bugs the heck out of me. Not sure if it's the moisturizer (olay). Anything light and non-greasy, with SPF, that you think doesn't contribute to face-shine? Something under $20 preferable...

I'm hooked! I've been mixing a can of tuna with peach-mango salsa. It's a great flavor (sweet) and goes great with salad greens and other veggies. It's a nice alternative to finding a fat-free dressing--I've never found one I like. This salsa also goes well with cooked chicken breast, in a...

I buy whole-grain or whole-wheat breads, the kinds that are little added sugar, no preservatives...just stuff like "100% stone-ground wheat, water, honey, raisin juice concentrate, salt, yeast" The first couple of slices taste great. Trouble is, I don't eat bread often enough to finish the...

What indoor grills do you own? Brands, sizes...? What do you grill on them? Marinated things? Veggies? How's the cleanup? --gisela (anal about purchases)

I want to mention an Ebay auction that some people might be interested in, but don't know if that's okay. It's NOT my auction--I'm not selling it. I would have bid on it myself, but I found the certain something in a thrift store a few days ago. I haven't hung out at these forums long enough...

So, those brain-sucking diversions--the kind that make hours pass without notice, meals go forgotten... For some it's computer games. For others it's getting lost in a good novel. Whatever provides an extended escape from reality. I'll call it playing computer games, such as Spider...
