Hi Jerry, I also have lower back issues so whenever deadlifts come up in Cathe's workouts, I lay on an exercise ball with my abs and hips on the ball and my hands on the floor with arms bent. Then I lift my legs keeping my back straight. Does that make sense?

Hi, sorry you have shoulder pain. I have found doing pushups using a stability works for me. I don't crackle when I do them, but I tense up and get shoulder stiffness when I don't use the ball. I guess there is less pressure on the shoulder area this way. Maybe this would work for you too?

Just got my workout I ordered and the "surprise" added was wonderful! Can't wait to try them both. Thanks Cathe!

I've read in the past that if you coat the blueberries with your flour lightly, they won't make your batter turn as blue. Haven't tried it, but may be worth a try.

Hi Sassy! I'm def. not Cathe, but my hubby and I do eat the Southbeach way. you will drop the pounds if you stick with it. It is very healthy because you are getting rid of all the "whites"...no more white sugar, white bread, white rice, etc. You now will eat brown rice, whole wheat (not...

They just showed the story about the "spaghetti bushes" on the nightly news tonight as one April Fool joke which went down in history. How funny! That newscaster had to be great to watch.

maybe when obliques are done, I'll just do more crunches. And squats? Yeah, you are right. You do contract those muscles. Yikes! Well, at least I'll be straight with less fat, right?

I have a thick waistline, very boyish. Should I avoid doing oblique work? I heard that may make it thicker?

Thanks, I'll havae to check it out. My dad has skin cancer and I will not lay in the sun any more so this could be my future tan look!

Do any of you have, let's call them freckles, on your face? If you use the self tanner, does it make these "freckles" darken? I am using a retin A type product to lighten these spots and don't want to reverse it by darkening them again. What do you think?

I also agree, eat the AP's you earn! There is also an offshoot of WW called the Wendy plan (maybe wendy.com?) which does promote the varying of points through out the week. I'll have to find the website for you and post it later. You might have 21 points one day, 26 the next, 23 the next etc...

Oakbrook is fantastic! So is Woodfield! THen there is Home Expo in the Naperville area! Oh, I love the northern part of Illinois! I'm from the middle actually.

Hi everyone, well today I did PP and stretchmax 2. Thats a first time I've done two things besides walking my dog. I've just really strted making Cathe my exercise about 3-4 days a week, so I should increase that too I think, but don't want to get bigger legs. You guys are way above me I...

Hi! Sorry if I'm barging in here, but I've been watching you guys off and on for a bit. I have a question. Are you all making a rotation between you that is slimming your thighs down? I don't think I could do 500 squats (yikes) but I'd be interested in what you are doing with the SS (I...

i just received my Core Max, Stretch Max, and High Step Training Advance! Can't wait to use them in my rotations!!:7

Thanks for the tips on the dips :D I will try with the dumbells and see if that works for me. The lying extensions you are talking about... do you hold a weight in your hand and flex it up at the wrist? Is that what you mean?

Does anyone else have problems with their wrists when you do the dips on the step? My wrists can't be in that positon long. Do you have any ways to do them that wouldn't hurt? Or, will my wristes get stronger if i continue trying them?

Hi Cathe, I'm really enjoying working out with you each morning!! I do have a question though. When I do the tricep dips on the step, my wrists hurt. Is there another move which would do the same thing? Or, will my wrists get stronger over time if I keep at it?

I'll be interested to hear the comments. I don't have any yet, just make my own speeds up. I'd be interested to also hear what your favorite cardio coach would. be.

Thanks for your help. I purchased HSTA, Coremax, Stretchmax, and the new one Butts and Glutes. SHould be a LOT of fun!
