Hope it's ok that I'm posting this really off-topic post, lol, but I guess this is the place to put it, isn't it? Well, here's my question. Burnt/broken bridges: mend or leave alone? Context! Since moving away for college and later grad school, I've lost touch with my hometown friends...

Hi Cathletes! I have a business related question and I wanted to get some opinions. While I'm a grad student hoping to pursue a career in academia, I've always wanted to have my own small side business in fitness. I've been working as a group fitness instructor for a few years now (at my...

Hey Cathletes, I've been having a pretty crappy past few weeks and I think it just culminated in me hitting rock bottom today. Sorta. I feel the need to back up a bit and explain where this all started: So, I moved out to CA last fall for graduate school. Met this guy in my department who...

I was just reading Fitness magazine and they had dedicated a few pages to finding the right sports bra for your workouts. I kind of skipped through it, b/c in my mind, I'm thinking, 'eh...I still buy my bras from the kids' section..I'm too small to ever have to worry about things like finding...

Hi Cathe! Ramadan is coming up at the start of August, so I'll be fasting from before sunrise up til sunset -- which in August will be from 4/4:30ish a.m. to around 8 p.m. I really don't want to work out while I'm fasting, though I'm actually stuck teaching 2 yoga classes and 2...

Amazon.com: Fitness by Cathe "Butts and Guts" Combo Package: Sports & Outdoors Thought I'd post in case anyone's interested. I kind of wish I didn't already have everything in this bundle, b/c I love this deal. :mad:

I was wondering if anyone here had experience buying beachbody products from ebay, or from 3rd party sellers on amazon. I really want to get some of their dvd sets, but they're so expensive, and I was hoping to save a little money buying them from amazon or ebay...but I've read about bootleg...

Before getting into heart of the issue, I feel like I should preface this with some background info. I'm a 25 year old (going on 26 in August) single gal of Pakistanti descent. Like most women in my age group, I've been getting pressured to get married and settle down. Now, in the case of South...

So...I'm a fairly active person. I exercise almost every day...mix of Cathe dvds and running for my cardio; have been weightlifting consistently for years, I try to squeeze in some pilates and yoga a couple times a week...I also teach a few classes a week at my university's rec center, and my...

I do Bikram yoga off-and-on. I love how challenging it is, and how much I sweat in it, but I was wondering, as a very intense workout, can it replace cardio workouts? On the one hand it seems it could -- I could content myself with it being my only workout for the day...plus it *does* get...

I just signed up to take jiu jitsu classes at my rec center...mainly because I was looking for something to spend my 50% employee discount on that's allotted to me once every quarter. :p Plus, I've never taken any form of martial arts before, and I've always wanted to. Anyway, I was wondering if...

So I was reading my February issue of Yoga Journal and I came across info on their 21 day yoga challenge: http://21daychallenge.yogajournal.com/ After letting my eating habits and workout routines slowly spiral downwards over the past couple years (combination of graduate school...

This feels like one of the most basic, fundamental things that I imagine any advanced exerciser (or certainly any Cathe enthusiast!) has down....and even though I've been a more or less regular exerciser for years, I realized that I'm no longer there...and I was wondering what you all do to...

Hi Cathe! I had a question about weightlifting vs. other forms of toning like pilates and dance-inspired conditioning. Do you find that they're compatible with one another, considering their differences with how they work? For example, weightlifting tears the muscle tissues and rebuilds them...
