Hi Cathe---Hope all is well with the video shipment--I ordered Dvd so I guess I will have to wait (wah--wahh). Anyway, I need to hear your knowledgeable opinion on lifting heavy. I have your ps-series but find that with the lower body I can not lift as heavy as I'm capable of--so I go to my...

Thanks for the info! You are the greatest! Ranae

Hi Cathe--I hope you are relaxing a-little after that grueling schedule--filming. I die just thinking about it! Anyway, I wanted to ask you a question about weight training the legs. I really like the appearance of some body builders legs--where the thigh sweeps in at the knee making the knee...

Imax I can do this tape all the way through without modifications--The last interval however, I am no-where near the height that Cathe achieves on her tucks or flying jacks!!! Argh--How does she do that--I'm ready to die. And one other thing--have you noticed how she talks through the whole...

I just tried this tape for the first time--I'm not a kickboxing fan but many people have told me that it grows on you and that it is a great cross-training exercise. I still do not care for it all that much since I feel like I'm standing around a lot waiting for instruction into the next...

one week down, a lifetime to go! Hi everyone! Well I just finished the first week of vegetarian eating and it has not been hard at all! There is one exception, however, I was gone the past four days chaperoning high school girls at an all-state music festival, so I had to eat out. This is...

Thanks for the ideas/options I love this forum--everyone is so helpful. I just got back from dinner with a friend. I wondered how I would do in a restaurant--well, I ordered the vegie-enchiladas with black beans, rice and pico de gallo---yum! Not bad! I cooked dinner for my family before I...

Hi honeybunch and Debbie H. Thanks for the info--I am on my second day of eating this way. I know that there are plenty of different foods to try--I would like to learn how to use polenta and eggplant etc. So far I have made a 15 bean meatless chili that was very good. Tonight I plan on...

This is really tough taking a week off--but I'm using the time to really work on my weaker link, which is my diet! I am trying to switch to a vegetarian lifestyle--are there any vegetarians out there that have good recipe's and any tips? Thanks--Lisa

Thanks! Wow-that was a fast response! I will look at the tape suggestions and as far as step height--I will just listen to my legs that day. I've been crosstraining with running, hi/lo and the eliptical trainer and I have had a lot less problems with my knees. I do notice if I rely too much...

dreaming of summer My family and I are spending two weeks in San Deigo in a beachfront condo. I have already been eyeballing the swimming suits. I like the high cut-high waisted--full bottom coverage bikini with a halter style (padded) top And a short wrap around sarong. The nice thing about...

Cathe I hope all is well with you and baby Eric--My 9 year old son's name is Erik and such a joy! Just wait until Eric starts playing sports and you start going to the games (or maybe coaching them!) what a blast. At any rate, I have some questions for you. I have your PS series, interval...

fitting stott's in Hi jane---I usually do the Stott's tape 1-2- times a week. I will do it on a cardio day if my schedule permits and I will do it on my rest day. I would never replace regular weight training with the Stott's since they are totally different. Stott's does not use weight and...

Stott's Core Conditioning I bought the advanced mat tape and have been using it for about 1 month. I have noticed a big difference in my posture and flattness of my abdominals. I've always done all the situps, crunches etc. and noticed that I had a nice muscular pooch--I mentioned this to a...

Kari I assume you are talking about Kari Anderson--I have one of her all cardio hi-lo tapes. She was a dancer and so her choreography is very creative. I think it is good to sprinkle in different styles of choreography for variety--crosstraing and I find that if I do the tape a few times I...

body image I love reading all the posts from real women and their struggles with this body weight thing. I've exercised most of my adult life (with a few year lapse here and there) and even though I know all of the wonderful things it does for me besides the weight control thing --that is the...

Thanks Kay and everyone! I appreciate all the knowledgable responses-- I will check out the web sites mentioned. My curiosity is mainly preventative at this time since I'm not yet forty--but I was reading how peri-menopause can start at 35 and last for 15 years before true cessation occurs. I...

thanks again!! I will see if I can find it at walmart--much thanks--Ranae

thanks Thanks for the reply Shelley--I've never tried the bodypump--I saw it in the collage video and have seen a few posts here on it. The price is pretty steep for it and I'd hate to find out I did not like it after buying it. I guess I will see what gym offers it it my area and go try a...

I was reading our local newspaper this morning and in the lifestyles section was information on heart disease. The section talked about the American diet & sedentary lifestyle and how artery clogging fat builds up long before there are symptoms ( they do autopsies on young people and find the...
