    Looking for sports bra recommendations

    Can anyone recommend a good bra for moisture-wicking? They all say they do that, but mine always seems to weight about 50 pounds when I peel it off. I do need support (running) but my main issue is sweat management. Thanks!

    Any suggestions for 14yo DD?

    My daughter wants to start working out with me! She's 14, but not in the best shape. I'm running 3x/week, so I'm doing my Cathes M/W/F first thing in the morning. I'm thinking I should start her with a mix of cardio and strength, focusing on shorter (30-45 min) workouts at first. She's not a big...

    HGTV dream house (not completely OT)

    I was looking at HGTV's dream house for this year and, while I love the house, my first thought was "where would I work out?" followed quickly by "I wonder if I could store all my weights, etc. in the cabinets on either side of the fireplace." I don't know how I would function without a...

    Loved Lower Body Circuit!

    I haven't seen much discussion of this one yet. I did it this morning and loved it! Great mix of weighted leg work with Hiit. The weight segments almost felt like rest from the cardio. Nice use of the step to intensify the cardio without complex choreography.

    Any runners here? Looking for advice

    I have recently started running - did a 10k, and am now seriously considering a half marathon in February. My question is, how do you fit in all your Cathe workouts with running? I've been running Tuesday/Thursday, with a long run on Sunday and doing weights on MWF, but I miss Cathe's cardio...

    I can't wait, but DH doesn't get it...

    So, you would think after 15 years together he would stop questioning my "need" for more Cathe dvds. I was talking about these this morning, and he looks at me and asks "Again?" I'm glad you guys understand! Do you have anyone in real life who really understands your vidiocy?

    What is everyone doing to prepare for Ripped w/ HiiT?

    I'm starting an XTrain rotation Monday and plan to stick with it until the new DVDs come out. I will modify the schedule to incorporate 3 running days/week (planning to run my first half marathon in February).

    Where is Cedie??

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I haven't seen Cedie in any of these photos yet. Is she in this series?

    What next? Looking for advice

    I'm 3 weeks away from finishing the 6-month STS program. DH has started working out with me on Meso 3, and I'm really enjoying working out with him. We met at a gym, and it brings back a lot of good memories. So, I'm looking for something that he would also enjoy. We're running 3X per week...

    Maybe I missed it - release date?

    I'm not sure if I missed a post, but has anyone heard an estimate for when Cathe will release the new workouts? I'll be finishing STS in mid-October, and I'm trying to decide what to do next. I'm kind of expecting first of the year.

    Help! Squat rack or plyo?

    Help me decide! I'm currently in the middle of Meso 2 (6 month). I have a squat rack and love lifting heavy, but I'd also like to do plyos, because of everyone's positive comments here. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be doing my first 5K a week after finishing Meso 3. I'm doing...

    How about an updated Ab Hits?

    I would love it if Cathe would make an updated Ab Hits dvd featuring 5-10 minute ab segments from her other dvds. Although the longer (20 minute) sections like STS abs are effective I don't do them as often as I should because they are usually too long to use as an add-on after cardio.

    Which dvds (besides Travel Fit) don't require any equipment?

    I'm going on vacation next week and would like to bring along a couple of dvds. It will be my "active recovery" week after STS Meso One. I'll have access to a treadmill (basic hotel workout room) and plan to go for a lot of walks. I'll bring Travel Fit and bands, and tubing. Any suggestions?

    Question about article on afterburn/diet

    From your article, it sounds like you recommend eating before working out. I'm currently getting up at 4:30 so I can drink a cup of coffee and wake up a little, then working out at 5am. I don't think I could stomach so much as a smoothie at 4:30 in the morning, and if I wait until later I may...

    Talking back to Cathe

    So this morning I did CrossFire triple tabata premix (short but intense! don't know why I never noticed it before) and at the end I'm stretching in pigeon pose. Cathe said "breathe in the positive energy" or something like that, and I replied "I'm breathing in armpit sweat! Anyone else talk...

    Is there any way to upload running/walking stats from phone to workout manager?

    I'm trying to record walking/running into the workout manager. I know how to add it in manually, but is there a way to automatically load it from the Map My Run program on my phone into the workout manager? Thanks!

    Starting STS next week - looking for advice

    For those of you that did STS, did you do the STS cardio with it, the LIS cardio, or some other strategy? Any pros/cons to one rotation over another? I am planning to do the 3-month plan - just haven't decided on the cardio. I don't want the cardio to distract from strength, but I do like to...

    How to develop arm/shoulder strength for planks, etc.

    I often struggle with plank-based exercises, down dogs and any other exercise that involves supporting myself on my arms. I can usually match you (or 2-5 lbs less) on most weight workouts, but my arms/shoulders just can't seem to support me for very long at all. This limits a lot of core work...

    Jan metabolic rotation check-in?

    Anyone interested in a check-in for those of us doing Cathe's January metabolic rotation?
