Hey thanks, I'll redo my 1RM with dumbells as you suggested. I didn't even think about being able to lift more or less depending on the type of weight but that makes scence. Thats one thing I wish Cathe would add to her STS 1RM calculator is the option to choose dumbells or barbells before...

I don't have a rack for my barbell so when I do my chest presses the weight I'm required to use is heavier then I can hike into position safely. When I substitute with dumbells how do I figure the amount of weight to use? When I figured my one rep max with the barbell I didn't include the...

I agree. I can't get enough Drill Max. I get great fitness results, more so with any other program. I just feel more flexible, strong & energized when doing everyday tasks and it sure makes the dress sizes drop!

Cathe, I'd love to know more about you & your crew members. In particular, what you all do to prepare for a shoot. Things like diet and exercise. Also just fitness info in general, like what seems to work best for each of you & what hasn't. Its always fun to get to know more about the people...

Help, I think my mother-in-law has a drinking problem. Her moods are so up & down & she always has a beer in her hand or a glass of pop or coffee (assume there is something else w/it). She is always trying to start a fight w/her own son & I can't stand to be around her. She can't remember...

Cathe, I'm having trouble with the pull overs in your workouts. It seems that no matter how much I do them I just don't feel it. If I try to go to a heavier weight, my arms get tired long before my back even notices anything is going on. Could you please give me some form pointers, maybe I'm...

Hey Susan, I run quite a bit & I've found Cathe's Kick, Punch & Crunch great for loosening the hips when there tight from running. Just a suggestion, hope things get back to normal soon. Good Luck Crystal

Hey gang! I'm looking for a good yoga video to do on days when I'm not getting my back side kicked by Cathe or training for a 1/2 marathon. I haven't done much yoga but I want one that will help with flexibility & relaxation. Would love to hear from you if you know of a good one. Thanks...

Hey gang, I'm about to start training for a 1/2 marathon coming up in June. I have a soon to be 9mo boy that I plan to breastfeed until he's a year (June 9). I'm just wondering if anyone out there has trained for a 1/2 while breastfeeding & within a year from delivering & if you ran into...

Hi out there! I was looking on the internet for fitness programs for my ipod & I came across PumpOne. Has anyone purchased any of these programs? I workout at home & a lot of the programs look like they are ment for gym goers with access to more equipt then my home gym has. I would love to...

Hi Rachel, I'm a new mom with a seven month old. He would never go to sleep on his own no matter what I tried so I resorted to the "let him cry." My trick, make sure he's clean, fed, & dry, then give your husband strict orders to only check on him & talk to him reassuringly if the crying gets...

Hi Connie, good for you deciding to breast feed. If you want a pump that isn't so pricey try the Lansinoh electric duo pump. Its a lot less expensive then the others I looked at & I use it all the time with no problems, it also can run on batteries which is great for travel. I would suggest...

I love the Dyna-Band! It would be a great workout to load into iPods for travel as well. Great idea!

I love the exercises with the medicine ball & would like to see more of this tool used. I would love a workout that just uses the medicine ball & maybe some stability ball as well. Thanks

Cathe, Here's a bit of a loaded question for you. I know I should change my workout routine from time to time to "shake things up." Do results very based on how often you do this? For example, would I see more & faster results if I stick with a program for 12 weeks & then change or change...

Great idea! I'd buy it.

I'm not Cathe but I do a lot of running & I just got a Pacemaster after having a Proform for 8 years. My new one has a lot more options & is a lot quieter but the Proform served me well & never gave me any trouble & I used it hard. A great web site is treadmill doctors. They have a ton of...

Dear Cathe, I have a six month old son whome I adore, the only problem is along with him came added inches that I can't seem to get rid of. I've been working out regularly for about 3 months now. I run 3-5 days per week & lift weights 3 days per week, (Gym Style workouts). I feel stronger...

Hey Becky, I have the same problem & a good arche in your shoes helps. Also, I found that stretching my feet after my workout helps as well. To do that stand facing a wall & put your toes on the wall with your heel on the floor & lean into it, then swithch feet. I do this 2-3 times on...

Dear Cathe, I love your workouts & have used them for years. Have you ever thought about making your workouts available to download to ipods. I would also love it if you designed workouts for ipods that one could use on cardio equiptment or outdoors for a run or walk. I think these would...
