    Slow heavy premixes?

    Hi, I have a question about the slow and heavy DVD. I noticed on the description at collagevideo.com that the DVD has 15 premixes. Is this a new addition? My copy of the DVD (which I bought years ago) doesn't have any premixes. Or is this a mistake on the collagevideo.com description? Thanks!

    Old Cathe rotation for skinny fat?

    I'm copying this from the rotations forum, hoping that Cathe or someone can help... Hi all, A couple of years ago (or more??) Cathe recommended a long rotation for someone who asked for advice on being "skinny fat" (I think that was the expression). Cathe recommended 2 different rotations...

    Old Cathe rotation for skinny fat?

    Hi all, A couple of years ago (or more??) Cathe recommended a long rotation for someone who asked for advice on being "skinny fat" (I think that was the expression). Cathe recommended 2 different rotations, one to start with and one later. I remember they were in 2 different threads. It...

    Transitioning from 5 meals to 3 meals

    According to the "No Crave diet", it is better to eat just 3 times a day for reduced cravings and fat loss - more than this and insulin levels rise too often, promoting fat storage. On the other hand, most nutrition books recomend 3 meals and 2 snacks to keep blood sugar even, saying that this...

    Image verification problem

    Please can I ask that Cathe/SNM consider using a different image verification system (for searching the forums). I am slightly colour blind (unusual for a woman but true) and find the image VERY difficult to see without help. I have used image verification on other websites with no difficulties...

    Best DVD for beginner...cardio, toning & muscle?

    While you are waiting for Cathe to reply... You might want to look at the video clips of the pure strength series, gym style series, and 4-day split series. They are all designed for muscle building/toning. For the best strength gains, look at the slow&heavy series, although many people find...

    Back exercises

    I'm not sure if you have already done this, but it may be worth visiting a chiropractor, osteopath, or similar. Many low back problems are due to some kind of imbalance in the joints or muscles of the back or even in the legs.

    Hi Cathe and hi everyone here.....

    You mentioned that giving up processed foods helped to reduce the frequency of your migraines, and it made me remember this article (link below) as it describes the importance of different aspects of diet, such as controlling blood sugar. I hope you find it helpful. If the link doesn't work, go...

    Family issues

    Thanks for your response. I've considered seeing him just at family get togethers, but honestly, I don't think it would work. I do agree that imagined scenarios can be worse than reality, but in this case, the reality has been worse. We've had some major family rows when we have all been...

    Family issues

    Thanks to you both. Its so hard being firm when it is upsetting her, but the thought of getting involved with my brother is even worse. The point Lisa made about re-hashing things in my mind is so true. This is driving me mad as I keep going over the conversations we had or might have to have...

    Family issues

    I hope nobody minds that this isn't fitness related, but I know that the people here have provided thoughtful opinions in the past so here goes... I am having real issues with my mother over the fact that I fell out with my brother a couple of years ago. Because Christmas is coming up, she is...

    Reflections on the 4 Day Split

    I've given up with the step in this series for now too. I can get all other Cathe cardio workouts except for Rhythmic Step. The frustration isn't worth it. I also don't do the cardio in the hardcore series because I can barely hear the music. So, overall I have wasted a lot of money, and will...

    4DS total body?

    Let me know how you get on, you might get to it before me as I have a sore throat/fatigue thing going on at the moment. I've been through the total body premix and noted down the chapter points, so that I can easily skip forward to the bodypart/round that I want using the premix rather than...

    4DS total body?

    Has anyone tried the total body premix on the 4-day split yet? Any feedback? I was thinking of trying the total premix but choosing 1-2 rounds from each section to make it shorter and more doable for me. Then, the next time I could choose different rounds. I really like total body workouts and...
