    Joannie Greggains?!

    Does anyone remember "Morning Stretch with Joannie Greggains"? She was on TV in the 80's. Anyway, I randomly thought of her the other day and looked up her website. She still looks great! She has to be in her 60's now and still has the body of a 20-something. Joannie got me started on home...

    Ask Cathe...about your article on bottled water?!

    Cathe, I have to register my extreme disappointment in the article about tap water vs. bottled water. It is TERRIBLE and full of misinformation about tap water. Firstly, tap water is tested for nearly 200 different regulated contaminants, plus additional unregulated contaminants, such as...

    Need an alternative to Diet Coke

    Hi ladies! I hope someone reads this; I know this forum hasn't been active in a while (well, except for the spam). Anyway... I am *very* early along (haven't even been to the doctor yet), but my doc told me I need to kick my Diet Coke habit. [Me: What??? I already gave up Chardonnay &...

    TPE Resistance Band Q (2012)

    **Cross-posted from Fitness by Cathe forum** Can anyone - Cathe, SNM, or Cathletes - provide feedback on the 3-pack of resistance bands sold on Cathe's website? What DVD's would I use these for? I had an old neon green dynaband that broke, and my (elderly) cat used my 3-pack of Cathe's TPE...

    Resistance Band Q (2012)

    Can anyone - Cathe, SNM, or Cathletes - provide feedback on the 3-pack of resistance bands sold on Cathe's website? What DVD's would I use these for? I had an old neon green dynaband that broke, and my (elderly) cat used my 3-pack of Cathe's TPE bands as a litter box (!) so I tossed them, and...

    Moms Into Fitness 60 Day Slimdown?

    Has anyone tried this or other products from Lindsay Brin/Moms Into Fitness? The 60-Day Slimdown DVD / weight loss series was featured on BabySteals.com today and I was tempted to buy it, but 1) I'm 8 months post-partum so a "post-baby workout" seems kind of ridiculous at this point (feel...

    Breastfeeding/pumping - I want to hear from you!

    Hi ladies, Elizabeth is 4 weeks & 2 days old and we've been working earnestly on nursing for 4 weeks today (her first few days she was in the NICU on an IV, which SUCKED for getting bf started). She starts daycare March 7 but I'm going to try and go back to work only part-time at first so...

    Good Prenatal (& beyond) Exercise Book

    So I was looking for some good books/videos to modify exercises for the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. I didn't find much until I came across the Women's Health Magazine Big Book of Exercises. It's great! Now if I'm doing a Cathe DVD and there is an ab exercise done lying on your back, or something...

    Rubberband arms on BodyMax2

    At the end of the ab work on Body Max 2, in the Balancing Snow Angels, my arms start to wobble like rubber bands! Anyone else notice this? I just keep one knee on the floor now but I think if I kept my legs stacked like Cathe my arm would just collapse. Then again I'm kind of a wuss - STILL have...

    What does "the kick" feel like?

    I realize this is an obvious and/or stupid question, but people have been asking me, "Have you felt it kick?" since about the 16-week mark (I'm at 20 1/2 weeks now). I've never been pregnant before so all I can say is, "I don't know!" Over the past couple of days I've felt what feels like that...

    Is TX full? Can we attend if pregnant?

    I was wondering if the TX RT is full yet? I haven't registered yet because I'll be well into my 2nd trimester by then plus juggling work and grad school and I'm worried that will be too much. I haven't had to modify exercise so far but I don't know if balance, and therefore moving around on a...

    Working out w/ broken big toe

    I wasn't sure if I should post this here, on Open Discussion, or both. I just returned from a week at Disneyland (woo-hoo!) where eating clean was somewhat difficult (much easier at Disney World!) and exercising consisted of walking from the hotel to the park & back. So, I've already slacked off...

    Q about Cathe fitness bands

    I had an old green Dyna-band that looks like what Cathe uses in Butts & Guts and Low Impact Circuit. It broke, so I bought the set of 3 Cathe fitness bands (the blue, light green, and pink bands). My question is, what are the intensities of each band? They all feel like heavier resistance than...

    WM doesn't save measurements

    I've entered my weight, measurements, body fat, etc. into the Workout Manager but it doesn't seem to save them. I just updated weight & body fat, and measurements are WAY off (waist 11 inches? Goal 15 inches?) Anyone else have this problem? If you change ONE body parameter, does that then...

    Suggestions for fat loss/weight loss?

    I recently had a body composition analysis done, and body fat is right around 25%. Not a big surprise as I've gradually had trouble fitting into my clothes. I would like to get to somewhere around 21%. Other info is 5 feet 5 tall, 129/131 pounds. Any suggestions? I've put on about 8 lbs since...

    Fat loss?

    I recently had a body composition analysis done, and body fat is right around 25%. I would like to get to somewhere around 21%. Other info is 5 feet 5 tall, 129/131 pounds. Any suggestions? This is an increase from 123 lbs last fall. I am trying to eat clean, but have some "issues" (LOL) with...

    Should I buy Timesaver?

    I'm looking for something quick because there are days that I just don't seem to have even an hour to work out. Pathetic, I know. I like that TS has complete cardio & strength in each workout. I have Kick Punch Crunch/Legs & Glutes from the Body Blast series and love it, but that's the only one...

    What kind of mic do you use?

    Cathe, I was wondering what kind of microphone you use in your workouts? It looks like it is self-contained and I need something like that for giving outside tours where I work. I'm frequently trying to explain how things work around a bunch of noisy equipment and my voice just doesn't carry...

    Directional Q on 4 Day Split

    Question for Cathe and/or Cathe fans: I'm having some trouble figuring out the directional changes on 4 Day Split, specifically LIS & HIS. When Cathe moves the side of her body w/ the black band on her wrist, do I move my right side? I'm trying to remember that when Cathe's back is to...
