I can't do them either (combination of not having the strength and being too chicken), but I did find the Cathe TV where she walks through her tips on building up to it. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NjZTvSKnlk

The best things about B&G to me are: I love the abundance of premixes on this workout, and use them more than the as-is version of B&G for sure. I like that there is an all floorwork premix, and the premix is still long enough to feel like I'm getting a "complete" leg workout, and not...

I'd love a sequel to Drill Max. I love that this is an athletic workout that uses low or no weights on all the moves. I particularly love the lower body circuit premix. More, please! I'd also love to see a series of metabolic workouts that uses only body weight. The workouts like this in...

I live in L.A. Hi neighbors!

Wow, way to go Nan! I downloaded the plan for this a year or two ago, but never had the guts to actually follow it. Now, I'm inspired!

Sort of "Oldie" but Very Goodie I just did Legs & Glutes for the first time in a long time last night, and remembered what a killer it is. I think when the DOMS sets in, I'm really really going to remember... I've been doing more lightweights with high reps/body weight only workouts these...

On Fitness magazine had a feature about this style of eating as one of their cover articles in the Fall. The basic idea (according to their research) is that you eat the foods that humans evolved to be able to eat as they existed in nature thousands of years ago. Since most grains, beans...

I got mine today, and it was an awesome early Christmas present to myself. I'm so motivated to start using these, and they're just in time as I've already done plenty of holiday damage to my diet and exercise regime. So glad I pre-ordered, can't wait to start!

For all of you out there who are already certified personal trainers and/or group fitness instructors, can you offer any recommendations to me on where I should seek certification to start (ACE, NASM, ISSA, etc.)? Is there a significance in the difference among them and how they are regarded in...

Not to be an enabler, but I know there's been some discussion on the GoWear Fit on the forum lately. If any of you were waiting for it to go on sale like me, it's now $150 (down from the normal price of $170) at Amazon, so you may want to snap it up before they raise the price again. I did...

I second that recommendation. I started out trying a few recipes of Ellie's that I'd seen on her Food Network show, Healthy Appetite. I loved them, so I decided to pick up her cook book, later on. It has all the nutrition info for the recipes and lots of photos, too. I recommend you check...

I've decided to use some of my tax refund to finally get a bike, which I've been wanting for ages. Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced or inexpensive commuter bike? I don't really know what is a fair amount to spend, but I was thinking a model that is between $200 and $300 new, and I'd...

Calories burned is rather individual, as it depends on your weight, fitness level and other factors. I suggest getting a heart rate monitor, as some others have said. I just used my trusty Polar HRM today (it is the type with a chest strap, which I feel is more accurate than some other...

How cool! As soon as I saw the newsletter subject line "Announcing Cathe's Next DVD Series" in my email this morning, I started reaching for my wallet to preorder. Can't wait to see this series.

Ha, this is the only place where I'm not a weirdo for loving DOMS, the pain that hurts so good. Someone on here (maybe Debbie?) used to have in her signature "If I'm not hurtin', I'm not happy." This is exactly how I feel!

I'm pretty inconsistent about it, because I buy the organic stuff, so I figure I may actually be making things worse running it under LA tap water. I don't tend to wash pre-made lettuce-based salads or baby greens blends, but I have been washing spinach greens more often than not, lately...

Cool, thanks guys! I quite like Amy Bento, so I'll look into the DVDs you guys mentioned that I haven't done. I agree that A-Team Boot Camp is a nice tough workout. I like that one a lot! I'll have to check out MIC's hi/lo. I have it on DVD, but I only really use Imax (the original) out...

Does anyone have some suggestions for workouts, Cathe or otherwise, that are circuit style, but use only low or no weight (i.e., only your body's weight)? I'm avoiding heavy weights right now, instead doing low weight/high rep training, and it's been going well, so I want to mix in some...

I agree with everything you guys have said. I was yelling at my TV the other night, when Dane was voted off. Ron needs to GO! And I agree that Seone (the one who refused to quit on the bicycle challenge) is great. He's my favorite and I'm rooting for him to win it all!

I couldn't agree more. I was so upset when Carla went along with Casey's ideas, just like on the other group challenges. She never got to shine and fared the worst in those challenges. I'd had a bad feeling from the start when they were planning the menu in the kitchen, and sure enough, not...
