Hello, beautiful Cathe. I have used STS 1.0 to get into uber shape for every fall European climbing trip since you introduced it. I'm starting 2.0 on Monday and using the 12 weeks to get into climbing shape. We climb trad/alpine and also do via ferrata plus some peak scrambling. Usually, we are...

Cathe, I'm sure you don't remember, but I wanted to thank you anyway for the rotation you devised for me to get me ready for my climbing trip to the Tetons last summer. I am happy to report that my husband had me climbing, biking and hiking for 10 days straight and I was energetic and...

Dear Cathe, I did STS and loved it. I became much stronger and fitter. It will remain in rotation for years to come...a lifetime! Now, I am trying to decide what I should do for the 5 weeks before my vacation in the mountains. We try to do traditional alpine style climbing which includes...

Hi, How long does it take to actually get my password? I am trying to pre-order the Tower and some other items. When it says that there is already a password associated with my email address, I go to the "forget your password?" link and submit my request. I did this 3 times yesterday and still...

Dear Cathe, Last week I should have finished week 4 of Meso Cycle 1 but I had an awful flu that kept me in bed for a week. I am doing week 4 this week and was wondering since I had a week off last week (although sick) can I just go right into Meso Cycle 2? Any thoughts would be appreciated...

I printed out the Workout Card for Disk 10 and noticed that the first three exercises aren't Pyramid Pushups but Py Maid Pushups. I found it funny that someone subconsciously had pie on the brain when typing that in! I like it! Amy

Dear Cathe, My 18 year old nephew is a senior in high school and currently living with us. He has broken the school record for the 100 and 200 meter dash in his sophmore and junior year and also the 4x400 relay two years running. His goal this year, of course, is to break his own records...

Just wondering if there was a ball park figure for the pull up tower? I'm saving my "mad money" to purchase one when it becomes available. I'd just like to know an approximate price within a $100 or so. Thanks! Amy

Cathe, Even though this may seem to be a crazy question, it is one that is always on mind as I exercise diligently with heavy weights and intense cardio (for the last 20 years, I'm 42). Although I have some muscle definition in my legs and arms, I don't think it reflects my clean eating and my...

Hey everyone, I have a question about dogs. I have a 7 year old German Shepherd, male, neutered. He has been diagnosed with Lyme disease and although he's being treated, he's not doing so well. I love him so much, it's breaking my heart to watch him gimp around. He used to love to run with me...

Cathe, I just wanted to thank you for the new tricep move in your new advanced high step DVD. While climbing at Seneca Rocks a few weeks ago, I was in a chimney (two walls of rock about a foot and a half apart) and moving up very nicely until I came to a chockstone stuck in between the walls...

My husband just caught me sneaking a look at the newly posted photos of the Body Blast series. He said, "I don't know anyone else who is so excited about torturing themselves!" I thought, "Hmmm, I'll bet I do!" Amy

Hey, all! I need some advice regarding my current training and was hoping to get some feedback. For the last 3 or 4 months, I have been training with my husband. We do a three day split with heavy weights plus long bike rides, runs, intervals, etc. It's really helped me increase my strength...

OK, here's the rotation my husband has designed for me for the summer. When it changes, I'll let you know...probably in another 6 weeks... Day 1 Long, steady cardio, usually a run, 1 hour, 15 minutes Day 2 Chest, Shoulders, Tris ( 3 sets with heavy weights, 10 - 12 reps. Chest...

Ok, I need some reassurance here. My husband, who is extremely fit, has suggested a new rotation for me and I'm almost two weeks into it. I must say that I am really sore (in a good way) and making progress. The only thing that is driving me nuts is I'm not using any videos except for 1/2 hour...

I need everyone's educated opinion regarding self-tanners. I know we've discussed this before, so please bear with me. I'm going to Cabo San Lucas in mid March and want to keep my face and body looking tanned but without sun damage...especially my face. I may use a lesser SPF on my body, but...

Dear Cathe, First, kudos regarding the new videos. They are fabulously challenging and I just love them. But, this has me thinking...I started working out with you because I wanted to become as fit as my husband and be able to do the outdoor activities that we love to do together. Thanks to you...

OK, educated crowd, especially those with natural curves, i.e. boobs and hips, classic hourglass figures... What works best for you to lose fat and maximize muscle? I have been working so hard for the past year and while I have seen some changes, I believe that anyone else who has worked this...

Just a note to let anyone, especially on the East coast, who would be interested in learning more about rock climbing...there's a weekend of classes for women only planned in the Shawangunks, near New Paltz, NY from October 3rd through the 6th. To find out more, go to www.sheclimbs.org. My...

To the educated "foodie" crowd: I'm creating all the baked goods for a party next weekend. I'm making a low-fat blueberry pound cake and want to snaz up the presentation with some sugered or candied wild violets. I know I've seen this done somewhere and I don't recall it being very difficult...
