Does anyone have a recommendation for a barbell pad for a standard size bar? There are several different kinds on Amazon so I figured I'd check with the experts before purchasing. :)

I'm considering signing up for Cathe Live before the discount coupon expires at the end of this month. However, I'll be doing STS until the end of December and then the new DVDs will be arriving and they seem to be more focused on weights. So for the next several months, I would be using Cathe...

As someone who can't currently do a pull-up or chin-up and has no way at home to use a pull-up bar, I found this article very helpful. Enjoy! http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/cant-do-pull-ups-or-chin-ups/

Is it possible to get Cathe Live through a Roku? I was thinking about getting a Roku and signing up for Cathe Live, but that would be a bit pointless if I can't use it for that. I'm not interested in Cathe OnDemand right now, just Cathe Live.

Linda has two new DVDs with 100 reps for all the exercises. Has anyone tried these? I love the 100 rep challenges from XTrain so I'm curious about these workouts.

Here is an interesting article about how much protein a person over 50 should be eating. Protein is even more important as we get older. http://breakingmuscle.com/nutrition/protein-requirements-for-the-ageing-athlete

Here is an interesting article about the show, The Biggest Loser. A study was done of the contestants from Season 8 and their struggles to keep the weight off after the show. The study concluded that losing so much weight so quickly permanently damaged their rate of metabolism...

I have a couple of kettlebells I rarely use. My past experience using them came from doing DVDs from Jillian and Bob Harper, and that was ages ago. Today I tried Barre Bell HiiT from Linda Wooldridge and had such fun using my kettlebells again. So...any recommendations for some really good...

Has anyone heard of this kind of training? Sounds interesting, and I'd love to see Cathe put her spin on it! "Often when you hear the word “cluster” it is in a negative context, to say the least. But there are positive applications of the word, and one of those is in training. Specifically...

I've never tried Ezekiel bread but plan on buying some on my next shopping trip. Some questions for those who buy it... Their website says it can be kept in the freezer or refrigerator, but of course, it won't last as long in the refrigerator. How do you store it? If you keep it in the...

On the DVD for Total Body Trisets, there is a premix called Lower Body JFO. Does anyone know what JFO stands for? The premix is about the same length as the main lower body workout.

I've been reading lately about how eating and drinking full fat dairy items is actually better for you than the no fat or low fat versions. I currently drink 1% milk and eat no fat Greek yogurt, but I'm toying with the idea of switching to the full fat kinds. I'm curious what other Cathletes do...

Hi Cathe, I would really love an updated Rock Bottom rotation, one that included RWH and ICE. You really whipped my butt into shape with the last version! Would you please consider giving us all a newer version? Thank you!

I have been enjoying the MMs from ICE so much and find myself wishing there had been an MM for Legs. So I'm wondering...if you could design your own MM for Legs, what 5 exercises would you include? I'm thinking I'd have to include squats and plie squats, but after that, I'm torn between so...

As of this morning, I've tried everything from ICE. While I LOVE this whole series, I'd say my favorite part has been the Muscle Meltdowns. I have gotten some serious DOMS from these little gems! So what favorites does everyone else have?

Does such a thing exist? I have a very small space to work out in, and the barbell I have is very long. It's a pain to use it in such cramped quarters. Many times I use dumbbells instead. I would love a 4-ft. one, but a Google search comes up empty. 5-ft. seems to be the shortest. I found...

Sweat Inc. is a new show on Spike TV on Tuesday nights. Jillian Michaels is the host and one of 3 judges. Contestants show off new fitness products/workouts and the judges decide what could be the next big craze. Only one episode has aired so far, but it peaked my interest. And of course, now...

I have been thinking about trying some different barre workouts and read on several websites that Physique 57 DVD workouts are the best of the best when it comes to barre. Does anyone have any experience with these workouts? And if not these, are there any barre workouts you would recommend...
