Hey all! I'm looking for 7 and 9 lb. dumbells. I hate neoprene (prefer the hex ones) but I may be stuck with them. I just got the S&H series and need some in between weights. The only place I've seen them so far was Spriproducts but the shipping was prohibitive. If anyone has any...

This photo NEEDS to be made into a full sized poster for my workout room. Cathe looks so beautiful and my walls are screaming for some inspiring artwork. Cathe- please make this and some other photos from your workouts into posters. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be happy to buy...

I use Protoplex on my lifting days as a meal replacement. It has 42 grams of protein and is only 270 calories (20 from fat). A little high on carbs (22 grams) if you're doing Atkins or similar, but I feel it's helped me make some muscle gains. You can get it at Vitamin World for around $26...

May I suggest a lanyard with the Cathe logo on it? When I go to the gym, I wear a lanyard to carry my keys and gym id. I would love to be able to show off the Cathe logo around my neck! Thanks for every workout you've made and the ones you haven't made yet! Ladychimpion

Crystal, The article was in the June 2002 M&F Hers and was called 100 Reps. Ladychimpion

I'll look it up and let you know tomorrow!

I read in an issue of Muscle & Fitness Hers last year that a good way to slim down large muscles without losing strenth is to do giant sets. For example, if you want to slim down the legs, do 50 to 75 reps of squats using only 10 pounds or even less. That way you are making the muscle more...

My legs are getting more defined but at what a cost! The lunges bring tears to my eyes and although I can do the entire workout no problem, including 30 lbs for squats, about half way through the lunges, I can't use weights any more. And I was only using about 15 lbs on lunges to start off...

Haslina, I often do ab work by itself but I find if I don't do a few minutes of warmup, I sometimes get some abdominal cramping and can't do the ab workout as well. I usually do some jumping jacks or jogging in place. Just enough to get my heart rate up and it doesn't add that much time...

...then by all means let us know what you did to look as amazing as you do in the Cardio & Weights picture. Talk about some amazing progress. I know I would love to hear your strategy! Looking great, Cedie! Ladychimpion

I can't answer your question but I'm interested to hear what others have to say about this. Since none of Cathe's DVDs work one body part more that about 10 minutes (except for legs), I would be curious how to extend that to 30 minutes. Maybe by doing the same portion of the workout 3x? Or by...

I know what you mean about setting small goals. Yesterday I had an appointment with the psychiatric nurse who prescribes my antidepressants. She wanted me to set up an appointment with another therapist who specializes in my abuse issues. When she asked me if I felt emotionally strong enough...

Deni, I have struggled with depression for as long as I can remember (I'm 27). I was only diagnosed a few years ago and put on Wellbutrin (a miracle drug, if you ask me). Last February, I finally remembered the abuse I went through as a child which goes a long way toward explaining my...

Excellent work! In about 6 months (this was 6 years ago) I went from a size 5 to a size 11. Once my depression was finally diagnosed and I got on some medication, I was able to take a good look at myself and decide that I didn't want to follow in the footsteps of all the other women in my...

Why not? If we have to send in pictures, it may just be the encouragement we need to keep working out! Ladychimpion

Beth, Good for you! Keep up that hard work! My problem is that my scale at home reads 5 lbs lower than the one at my Dr.'s office. I just assume theirs is wrong and go happily about my business. Ladychimpion

My copy of the M.I.C., Imax, Rhythmic Step DVD is supposed to show up Friday (according to UPS). From all the posts I've read about these workouts, I'm quite afraid! :o I feel like I'm burning calories just reading everyone's experiences! Ladychimpion

Hippiechick, I use the New Balance 745. They have Abzorb in the sole which supposedly provides more cushioning. I use them for all my workouts (5-6 days a week) and the only complaint I have is that the lateral support on the outside of the shoe is a little weak. It's hard for me to find...

Hi all, My name is Becky. I live in Las Cruces, NM although I'm slowly moving to Rio Rancho, NM. I'm a vegetarian and usually (90% of the time) vegan. I'm 27 and finishing the last semester of college. I plan to work for Intel when I graduate (have already worked for them this past summer)...

All of you are wonderful! Thanks for the great advice. I'll give it a try! Ladychimpion :D
