Does anyone else who has Cathe's discs find that they don't slide particularly well on carpet? I make sure the discs are squeeky clean but they just seem to drag instead of slide. My feet pop off them all the time. They're great on hardwood with the little covers, but my woodfloor is on another...

Love the new calendar as always, but I couldn't place the large April photo. Can anyone tell me which workout this comes from? I have done all the low impact series DVDs but maybe this is a premixed or bonus? Thank you!

Cathe, I pulled out my Slow and Heavy DVD this week and did chest and back today. On the flies, you instructed us to keep the ends of the dumbbells facing each oher, rather than having the palms face each other. Does this grip just change the muscles involved, or is there more to it - like it...

Does anyone know how to view a running total of the number of workouts/calories burned for the year in the new WM? I can only see the current day. Thank you.

I just finished the entire STS program for the first and loved it. My husband was impressed with the results and decided to give it a go. He's one who wants to warm up "on your favorite piece of cardio equipment", but we're both wondering how his treadmill will provide the necessary warm up for...

Has anyone else enjoyed this revelation? After completing the STS series I took a month break and did Cathe's other cardio and weight work outs, including PUB, LUB, Muscle Max, Slow and Heavy, and Muscle Endurance. What a treat!! My notebook had little smiley faces next to many of the exercises...

Cathe, I just completed the backoff sets for back/biceps (M2, W2) - ouch by the way - and have a question on alternating bicep work, particularly concentration curls. The weight that is appropriate for my right arm at 12 reps requires a slight spot on my left arm for reps 11 and 12. This is true...

Cathe, I can't tell you how much I am enjoying STS. I just started Mesocycle 2, and am wondering if light ab work during the rest periods on the upper body workouts is ok. I'm not talking pikes on the ball or planks or anything that involves upper body, but just 15-20 crunches, side crunches...

Cathe, I notice when you do plie squats you often have the barbell in front across your biceps with your elbows foward to help prop it up, or you have the weights end-to-end in front of you somewhat under your chin. Does the weight in front have any special significance for this exercise? I find...

I am absolutely thrilled with STS - the variety, the hard work, the results... and can see why the 1RM is so important, but I'm wondering how everyone is doing maintaining their calculated weight by the end of a workout. In other words, based on my 1RM calculation I should have been able to do...

I downloaded Cathe's 3-1/2 month STS rotation but the start date I wanted didn't take. I went ahead and re-downloaded it with the correct start date, but now I have two rotations going. How do I completely clear a rotation from the calendar so I can start fresh? I know I can delete each...

With all due respect, is anyone else getting a little tired of having to sift through posts for/from fitnessfreak to get to Cathe's information?

Cathe, when doing one-arm rows with relatively heavy weight (25 lbs.) I tend to feel it in my forearms by the end of a set. I don't feel like my form is suffering in that my elbow is staying close to my body and I'm able to bring my arm about an inch past my waist as you describe when giving...

Cathe, the demo on the nutrition software was great. I plan to order the three-month subscription, but am wondering - Is information on how to determine the optimum calorie intake for me and my goals part of the software, or is there a demo/explanation of how that works somewhere on the site...

Hi all, I broke two ribs in a spectacular waterskiing wipe out last weekend at our family reunion (my nephews gave me a 9.6 on style points). Anyone else been through this? How long did it take you to recover and how did you get back into the swing of things? When exercising has been a part...

If that tan gorgeous blonde is Cede, dang girl, you look FANTASTIC!!!! It had to be her - in a pic with Jai, Cathe and Brenda?? Sure looked like everybody had a great time! I hope Cathe comes to the West Coast soon!

Cathe, I'm trying to eat clean - lots of fiber, fruits, veggies, I love black beans, etc.... but my stomach is none too happy with most of it. There's no delicate way to ask if gas and bloating is common with this type of diet, but there it is. Is this temporary? Would drinking even more water...
