I have recently bought bands to do assisted pull ups and would like to see more of these in workouts. I was hoping for like a 4 day split type package that would do it all in 4 days with a few days to rest and recover or add in something else! Would love this to be Cathe's next project!

Hi Cathe, I am going to make a suggestion based off of STS Total Body. But before I make a suggestion for a new workout, I have to sing the praises of STS TB first. I just finished the compound premix on this workout for the first time, and I have to say...it is AMAZING!! This is exactly...

I have recently started the paleo diet too. So far it is going well, but it seems a little unusual to eat chicken or steak with breakfast. I was eating protein waffles before made with eggs, cottage cheese, and oats and thought they were super healthy! Does any one else ever feel like a bit of...

I did Mudathlon in August, which is similar, but I think a shorter distance. It is 3 miles with 40 obstacles. It was a lot of fun and a good challenge.

Hey Cathe, I have never actually done crossfit, but it is getting a lot of hype around my area. From what I understand it is circuit style, uses a lot of compound moves, plyo, and calisthenic exercises. Think: pull-ups, burpees, push-ups, dynamic core moves, and box jumps. I am sure you...

Hi all, I just wanted to share with you the names of a really good book that I recently read and an enlightening DVD I recently viewed. The book is The Culprit and The Cure: Why Lifestyle is the Culprit Behind America's Poor Health And How Transforming That Lifestyle Can Be The Cure by Dr...

Amen to finding a balance between a living a healthy life and enjoying life. This is what I am striving for and overall doing very well with. And the goal is not to lose 5-10lbs and then go back to eating junk. I totally agree with you and get very annoyed with people when they talk...

I purchased the nutrition manager software a few days ago and have noticed that every day my sodium level is through the roof. Today I entered 1c fresh streamed kale and it said the sodium content was over 300mg. The kale showed as the food with the highest sodium content for the day. Is this...

I just need to vent a little here because I am lacking motivation toward self discipline and I am hoping you will share some tips on how you stay motivated to say no when you really want a cookie, chip, etc. First of all, I lurk here often, but don't post much because I never have time to...

I admire your commitment and know that it takes a lot of energy to maintain a healthier lifestyle. At this point I have been controlling what I can and letting go of things I can't. It's great you and your hubby are on the same page. I give my DD organic milk, fruits, and snacks and then DH...

Alright Mommas...I am having a debate with myself and need some other opinions. Do you feed your children and yourselves artificial ingredients such as sweeteners, colors, flavors, etc? Since having my first daughter 1 yr ago I am really rethinking my definition of health food. I once...

All I can say is thanks for such an awesome workout! This one is excellent and I know it is going to be a favorite! I absolutely love it and am shaking so bad I can hardly type!! Thanks for such a thorough, fun, fast paced and challenging workout!! Jenny

M&F Hers is hands down my favorite fitness mag. They have great articles, advice, workouts, and nutrition information. There seems to a lot of research in the article. This mag seems more focused on health rather than just looking good. I receive Oxygen as well and often feel their mag is...

I have found this to be really helpful as well. I have a newborn who likes to cat nap--if I get 30 minutes I'm lucky! I have also been skipping through some of the breaks: this works for meso 1 (I'm in week 3) when Cathe goes from chest to shoulders to bi's for example. I figure my chest is...

What an interesting thread!! I too am tired of trying to eat ALL the time to prevent starvation mode!! One look at me and you'll know I am not starving anything! But frankly, as a new mom, it is almost impossible to eat 6 meals per day and I'll attempt this, then fail, then beat myself up...

I like the idea of the hand off to hubby. Right now, I'm trying to find the time when she is asleep. But, it would be really nice to not have to be mindful during the workout and not have to have my attention split. It almost makes me anxious that she might wake up and I won't get to finish...

Thanks ladies for the support and encouragement. Luckily the baby likes her jogging stroller and we have gotten out. Actually, she loves to get out and do something everyday. She is very alert! We have taken walks and even jogged some. It's just hard to look back at my previous fitness...

I'm not really trying to be too hard on myself. We really have had a tough time. She was born with a cleft palate that the hospital missed and I discovered the day after we were released from the hospital because she wasn't breast feeding properly. She will require surgery at 9 months. She...

Hi ladies! I am seven weeks postpartum tomorrow and I am totally discouraged with weight loss. The problem with losing weight after baby: FATIGUE!! I don't get much sleep these days and the thought of working out it NOT appealing. I don't want to waste any extra energy, I feel like I need...

I'm not seeing the photos? They are on flickr? Where??!?!?
