    New Rykas

    Thanks for the website! I'm there now and have had Ryka's many times in the past. Right now I'm stuck as to what I want to buy - what do you guys think for Cathe's workouts: Ryka N'Gage Studio Mid Fitness, Intensity X3, or Ryka N'Gage Trainer? HELP!!!!!}(

    Calorie Consumption

    Yes, I have noticed that if I curb calories for a few days, then my body just NEEDS the food and I eat all day!! I can get on the scale and it doesn't scare me. Weird. That's why I was wondering maybe my body needs more calories on a regular basis when I work out. I don't want to screw up...

    Calorie Consumption

    I went to the site and it said for moderate workout, etc. to have about 1980 calories. I'm eating probably 1500-1700/day and working out about 1 hr/day 6 days/week. I do weights mostly and some cardio. My goal is to lose about about 4 lbs. and gain muscle definition which is coming... Do you...

    I'm hoping to do this double cardio today too, though I'm pretty lazy this a.m. since I stayed up late and now we have daylight savings time. Will have to find energy from somewhere cuz I really want to do it!:D

    Ab routine suggestions. . . . .

    I usually do coremax 1, but I did the coremax 2 and 3 since I got an 8 lb. med ball for xmas. I did really well with those too since I've gotten stronger with weight training. I especially like the coremax 3 with the med. ball because you do alot of oblique work. I also really like the LIC...

    Feeling faint

    Does this happen only when working out, or do you have a little "dizziness" or lightheaded feeling any other time?

    passing the plateau of weight loss

    I find if I crave chocolate - fine - it's portion control girl! I don't crave salt or potato chips, but you might want to substitue pretzels - they have protein and not alot of calories. Apple a day is great, but they also contain caffeine so it might keep you up at night. I get cravings...

    I thought I was the only one

    your husband has NO IDEA about all of us Cathe-ites out there! He might find he's taking second place... just kidding. I'm so glad I found Cathe years ago - I love doing step and it seems not be so popular with the exercise world, but it is here - I'm not alone!! :) This is quite the...

    My 12 Week Transformation with Body For Life

    Hi - congratulations - you like great! You did this in 12 weeks? I see by your link that you did some marathons, cathe road trip (I'm jealous!!) So, my question is do you think alot of your transformation came from the 12 weeks. Also, if you dont mind me asking - what is your weight now or...

    Cathe How in the heck/How tall is...........

    The best way I know how to do the levitation holds is to spread my fingers out and push off. I can't do them flat-palmed, and I'm not sure if that would be the right way to do them anyway. Also I make sure my hands aren't too close to my body so it makes for a wider support :D Still, they are...

    OK. I am a little nervous about these escaped convicts.

    Hi there. Just wanted to say re: the recent escaped convicts - you have every right to be paranoid if they are within 30 minutes of your house and you get home that late at night. BE CAREFUL! Although it does sound like you're pretty aware of things - LOL Be Safe!;) Cheryl

    My solution for using ALL my Cathe workouts!

    I get frustrated that I cant fit in all Cathe's tapes that I own too! I want to do them all, but never feel like I really can get to them all. That's it - I'm quitting my job to stay home with Cathe - :+ I also use the listing on the beginning of Cathe's calendar to try to mix it up a...

    body changing

    This post is too funny! Hey I'm 45 and guess what? I've been struggling with the waist issue too! I am also determined not to give in - but not going there with liposuction - only as a joke!! What I've been doing lately is eating lower carb, oat or wheat bread 2 slices a day, getting in bits...

    Travellin' Band Circuit

    Thanks alot! This will come in very handy when I camp on the weekends. I try to do some kind of workout (along with overindulging). I have a 5th wheel camper that has tv/dvd so I bring Cathe's kickmax, etc. with me and pop it in. Cant jump around in there, but I can do weights/abs,etc. Thanks...

    Toss the Scale or the Heavy Weights?

    RE: Heavy Weights--Update!!!! Thanks Marcy for the advice. I agree with all of it. I think I'm on the right track right now. I've been eating pretty darn good and just this week, after a couple of cardio days, did the gym style arms & Legs and Glutes. I even bought a 20 lb. weight already...

    Toss the Scale or the Heavy Weights?

    RE: Heavy Weights--Update!!!! Glad someone pulled up this thread. I really enjoyed it. I'm going to "hide" my scale for a while. I try to only weigh myself once a month to plug it in to my Cathe calendar. I was wondering why sometimes when I'm % " myself with workouts that I dont see...

    LIS/HIS double cardio premix

    I'm glad I found your post about the double cardio premix. I did it the next day. It was handy having it all premixed for me! I love the premix menus and all the detail Cathe gives you as to what to expect. It's nice to know some days what you're in for!! I'm definitely going to try more...
