Hi! You have certainly come to the right place. I am sure you will get plenty of adice here!! I am a personal trainer. I am currently helping several women on this website with their goals, Hopefully I can help you. Her is what I would suggest: Day One: circuit workout with upper body...

Here is how I would schedule a Gym Style split. I am a certified personal trainer. I am also helping several women out on this forum, so if you have any questions, please feel free to email me! Day One: interval training (sprints) + standing legs + abs Day Two: long cardio + chest...

Hi! Thank you for the email. I have been doing this rotation for about two weeks now and I am really enjoying it. Here is what I have been doing. day one: cardio AM: interval training (machine--Arc Trainer) weights: boot camp/circuit style Cathe total body...

The other good thing about muscle endurance is that it comes with Boot Camp. This is such a wonderful workout. Also, it has a bonus workout that combines the two! Great options on this DVD. Kristen

With body part splits (ie. chest & back; shoulders & legs; arms) you can target each muscle with more sets, leading to greater muscle fatigue. With total body workouts, you don't fatigue each muscle group to the same extent, however, you do still hit each group. And, with Cathe, you know you...

Hi! Here is a workout schedule I know works for slimming out the lower body. It is a tough rotation and by the end of the week, your legs should feel it! Don't worry, if you are sore, you know it's working. If you do have any personal questions, don't hesitate to email me! **hopefully you...

Do the flyes when she does the pullovers. (just substitute) Another I idea that just popped into my mind is lower back deadlifts with dummbells. That would be good too! Kristen

I agree. I think Cathe has a much better physique. Jari is too thin and has been a turn off for me. I did happen to buy one of here DVDs...her workouts don't even compare to Cathe. I realize I have wanted to try other home DVD workouts, but I never get around to it because no one can outdo...

Nancy, Hi! It is so funny that you posted this. I recently (as of 3 weeks ago) found out I have osteoarthritis in my right hip. I have had to do some major modifications to the Cathe workouts I was previously doing. I used to perform tons of high impact Cathe cardio on practically a daily...

Since Cathe pairs pullovers with double arm Db row, instead of the pullovers, you could try rear db flyes. Rear db flyes will hit both your upper back and rear delts. It is also a nice exercise to compliment the double arm row. Another idea would be to perform underhand double arm db rows and...

This morning I made my own circuit workout using HSTA. I don't typically do Cathe's workouts as is. Right now I am still seeing what my hip can do in terms of jumping since I recently found out I have arthritis on the right side. I would have to say that I had fun and enjoyed the workout, but...

Tneah,Hi. Thanks for the encouraging words...I think! ?? At this point I am not limping and my hip is good. I have modified many of my Cathe workouts and have toned her down in terms of days of jumping. I am hoping that I can wait to have a hip replacement later down the road--10 years or...

I think the idea of have a banana mixed with the yogurt is a good one. The banana has wonderful nutrients and aids in digestion. It should also fill you up & give you a bit of energy. :D

I love to add in egg whites, blueberries/reaspberries, and chopped nuts. Another idea is to put in jelly/jam. It makes a swirl in the oats. Yum!!

Cathe, I would have to say that I am SO HAPPY I found you!! You are by far the most amazing thing (person) have come across!! With you I never need a gym...ever again unless I come to visit you. Thank you for all the work and effort you put into what you do. You are truly an inspiration. You...

Where is the clip?? I would like to watch it. Thanks Kristen

I really don't agree with the previous post. Cardio 6 days a week is not too much. From experience, what has worked for me is intense cardio (mixture of HIIT and high intensity nono-HIIT) + weights + clean eating. I cannot overstress the clean eating----lots of lean protein, good carbs, lots...

I am not sure there is ever a "right way" to workout. A person needs to do what he/she thinks is best and/or what he/she likes. Getting a fuller back is more about nutrition than exercise. Your workouts stimulate the muscle then food & rest helps it grow. Mixing workouts up is the best, at...

Hi everyone! Just a quick question. What do you all eat before working out with Cathe. Since grad school is over, I have gone back to working out (weights or circuit training) with Cathe in the AM. I always do fasted state cardio before breakfast. Anyways, I typically like to have 1/4 cup...

Thanks A-Jock. Actually, though, my arthritis in my hip will never go away. At age 30---yes 30, I have worn down the cartilage between my hip and femur. Just years of hard exercise and then too much Cathe jumping. I just found out about a week ago, since then I have moderated her...
