    Weight Watchers and Cathe's DVDs

    Interesting. I don't have a HRM, but it sounds intriguing. Especially because I have been calculating 3 & 4 pts on the Xtrain workouts, which is so drastically different than the 10 pts for a cardio & weight workout on WW. I figure I'd rather start my calculations low, rather than overstate...

    Weight Watchers and Cathe's DVDs

    Tracking Cathe on WW Hi Fit Mommy, I posted this on a separate WW thread, but am still struggling to get an answer, so I'm hoping you can help. I just joined WW, and am struggling to figure out how to track Cathe's workouts in the activity section. Especially the latest Xtrains. Any...

    Weight Watchers February

    Hi Amelia, I hope you don't mind me jumping in here. I just joined WW myself, and am struggling to find comparable Cathe workouts on their "activity tracking" section. I wish they would add Cathe's workouts, so it would be so much easier! I'm afraid I am over calculating. Any suggestions...

    Meso 3 Squat Rack vs Push Pull Tower

    I thought you were about to yell at me ;) That *does* sound rather tricky, with the steps on the sides. GOOD luck with it! I am def going to try it, but it'll stay on the floor I think. I hope it works, because I'm really looking forward to it! I just got the bar that Cathe has & more...

    Meso 3 Squat Rack vs Push Pull Tower

    interesting! Well that's good to hear! I thought I read everywhere that this wasn't supposed to be a squat rack, but maybe that's b/c most people here are squatting over 100 lbs? I am with you - far from that, and at 5'4", I can get under that bar just fine. Where did you find the 100 lb...

    Meso 3 Squat Rack vs Push Pull Tower

    I know I've seen many posts stating that the Push Pull Tower is not a squat rack, but can someone tell me why? I realize I can't stand up fully, in order to put the bar on my shoulders with the PP Tower, but it certainly can help. Other than being slightly compromised in height, is there...

    What just improved my running??

    Hey Cathe! Thanks so much for helping me sort out the reasons for feeling great! (always a fun problem to have) And No, I had no idea that the foam roller assisted with muscle recovery. I had only heard about it for those touchy IT bands, but recovery is a nice added benefit! Knowing this...

    What just improved my running??

    Hi Cathe ~ I am about to start week 8 of STS mixed with Shock Cardio, and loving it all! While I'm not seeing the beautiful definition that you all have, I feel stronger and more energetic than any workout program I've ever done. This past weekend it was 45 degrees & sunny in the Boston area...

    how to count reps of STS ex #690 standing Barbell Front Press 21's

    Hi Laura, I'm not sure if your question is about the barbell or about the fact that she does 2 exercises in the demo (top 1/2 and then bottom 1/2). Since Mhunt answered the barbell, I'll answer the other part (which is where I got stuck as well). I just counted my top 1/2 reps & entered that...

    thanks for getting back to me so quick (I'm typing w/my lifting gloves on!) Consistent - ok I can do that. I'm sure It'll make more sense when I start to print out the cards too. thanks again!

    Where did the rotation go?

    Hi, When I choose a rotation, and click "Save & Exit" - where does the rotation go? I am not sure I want it to go onto my calendar yet, so I didn't click that. I guess I was hoping it'd make a document I could print? Or a link I could get back to? What am I missing? thanks!

    Confused about target weight with dumbbells

    me too Hi, I have this same question, but what if I use dumbbells every where that Cathe uses a barbell? Do I still only give the single dumbbell weight? for example - squats, #516. I used 2 - 25 lb dumbbells & a 10 lb weighted vest for a total of 60 lbs. Do I put 25? or 60? (or is this...

    Nutrition Manager Suggestions

    Hi ~ I signed up for the nutrition manager for a year, and don't seem to be using it as much as I hoped. I must be doing something wrong. This can't be so time consuming. Right? I sat down again today & while I was adding my foods, the light is starting to go on for me. (fewf!) I do...

    Adding a multivitamin to nutrition

    Agreed Hi Mishel, I was just looking for this. Is there a way to enter vitamins/suppliments at all? Or is it only through "custom foods"? Thanks! Erin

Must have been...

    Forum's Missing?

    Hi All ~ I think I might be going crazy? I know I can't keep up with all the forums, postings & changes on the new Cathe Nation - but I could have sworn there used to be a forum for questions about the new tools? Workout manager/nutrition site, etc?? I feel like each time I get started with...
