Hi. I feel your 'pain'. I too have been striving for that for well over 15 years! I too am muscular, but not built the same as you at 5 5" 150; but a size 4 so I do know my workouts are effective and I have a lot of muscle weight. But weight is just a number... I chimed in because what I...

I have to pipe in because I feel the same way with working hard with little noticable results. I have been an advanced exerciser for over 20 years. It is part of my life and I love how strong and confident it makes me feel. However, I too have a very hard time getting the last layer of fat...

I just posted this type of subject on another thread...I love Cathe. For almost 20 years! Still do...but I hit the wall with her. "dread factor" is the exact term I would use. But only just recently. My deal was that after all these years, I am proud to say I am a very advanced exerciser...

HI! I post very little and lurk here, but I had to chime in. I love Cathe and have for many years. However, I was getting really burnt out. I even took 7 weeks off! I just couldn't find the motivation....too weird after 20 years. And I have almost all of her workouts...love her. As I got...

I just had to respond to this. I have battled getting up in the morning for many, many years. I am 43, but it happened when I was young too. I can get up if I don't expect to work out or even talk to someone right away. I researched this over and over again because I really wanted to...

Yep....I have been there. I love the 'puke worthy' tag...too funny! I think it does have a lot to do with how you are feeling because I can the same workout and fly through it or almost kack...I certainly do not mean to get to that point, but I think every advanced exerciser; or person who can...

My left eyelid has been twitching for almost two years! Rarely does a day go by when it doesn't. My optomotrist is not concerned nor is my Dr. When I am on vacation for a bit, it does seem to cease a bit...so stress and fatigue seem to be the culprit. It can drive me nuts though! :)

Thanks for your kind words ladies. We are all so fortunate to have found Cathe's workouts and her encouragement. Pretty amazing to me! Keep working! Becky

Hi Cathe: I don't post much, just lurk, but am a huge fan and I have worked out with you for almost 20 years and recommended you to many. Thank you. I need tell you; I never follow a rotation except for how I feel that day! There is some 'science' that I know fter all these years, but...

I too have had problems for many years with my shoulder, two tears and just lots of inflammation in there after years of volleyball in college and lifting weights. However, I have worked through it many times. My injury is always there; but sometimes I don't feel it, sometimes I do. But, I...

I have been a VP of a bank for 20 years. We work very hard for our customers and many banks are very fair and a huge help to their communities. The news out there about banks right now is not all inclusive. many, many banks are fair and good. I work my butt of every day to make the lives of...

Hi Colleen and all: Colleen; our shoulder issues sound very similar. alot of that verbiage in your post are the same as my MRI reading. I don't ever remember hurting my shoulder, but I played collegiate Volleyball and have worked our for over 20 years...I know overuse and possibly just too...

I am going to get in soooo much trouble saying this....but.... Did anyone see her interview? Does anyone agree this woman has had plastic sugery? How the heck did she afford that? I am not against it at all; it isn't for me (although I could probably use it!) but that isn't why I bring this...

I recommend them all! But these are the ones I use when I am amping up my weight work: Gym Style series Pyramid upper Pyramid lower Slow and Heavy Series Muscle Max Legs and Glutes Butts and Gutts Cross Trainer series (these are great and I think we tend to forget about them) 4 day...

I certainly am not Cathe! However, I have worked out with her for many years. Here is my take...I am sure others will chime in as well. I think that Cathe's workouts would be perfect for you; especially since you are a runner. I always worried about becoming more 'bulky' than lean; as my...

I did this yesterday. It is one of the best! But, my bi's feel it a little but my chest always fires on this. My pecs are sore big time everytime! Becky

One more thing....squats can really affect my back. I do them; I am careful though. Even with my injuries; I am in the best shape of my life! I refuse to be told not to do things; but I will rest when I need too. I think that is soooo important! We think we will lose all our fitness...

Hi there. I have stuggled with a lower back injury for some time. It just happened and was related to working out. Here is what I found: chiropractor helped me. But it kept recurring. I took down my step height. I never use two risers on each side anymore and my heart rate stays just...

I have had both of these workouts for sometime and just did supersets yesterday. I heavied up on my weights and really concentrated on form. Let me tell you; I am a little sore today. Yippee!!! It isn't a heavy muscle concentrated workout. I used it because I wanted to 'touch' my muscles...

Hi everyone! It is nice to be on Cathe Nation. I love my Cathe... I need your reviews. I have seen several posts on these but hope that I get a few more opinions. I need the following from the 'educated crowd': 1. Your opinion on chalean extreme. Do I need it? I don't want it to be a...
