I would highly recommend Core Secrets. I would not really try and compare it to Cathe...In my opinion it would be like comparing apples and oranges....though there are similarities, they are really totally different workouts. I ordered the 2 DVD set from Collage a few weeks ago. It was $20...

I'm glad someone asked this question b/c my lower body is STILL recovering from the Core Secrets "Bun Battle" workout I did 2 days ago. I consider myself an advanced exerciser who is still battling the last few postpartum pounds. (My litle guy just turned 1 last week....but he is my second and...

Hi to all of the expecting Mommies, I haven't posted here in a long time, but I do have two small children. My son will be a year old in July and my daughter is 4. When he was born, she was 3 1/2 years old. I will be honest with you and tell you that it was definitely a "different"...

Hi Ladies!! Hope everyone is doing well. I was all geared up to have a GREAT week as far as my workouts were concerned, but mid-week last week I woke up with a MAJOR sinus headache and conjestion. Every fall I get this and it lasts about a week. So, due to this sinus stuff, I have not felt...

Yes....I have 2 active jobs...I am a third grade teacher and a mother to a 3 year old and a 3 month old. I have discovered that the best time to workout for me is first thing in the morning. If I wait until afterschool, I am usually too tired and busy with my own children. In addition to...

After having my second child 3 months ago, I am really cranking my workouts into high gear. Prior to becoming pregnant almost a year ago, I was in the BEST physical shape of my life thanks to Cathe and the things I have learned from this forum. I have pretty much ALL of Cathe's workouts except...

Where can I find the page that has the info. (times, combos, etc.) for the premixes on the Step Blast/Step Jump and Pump DVD? I am thinking of ordering this one and would like to look at the premixes before I do. Also, are there any premixes on the Supersets/Push Pull DVD? I thought I had...

I have MOST of Cathe's DVD's and I also have FitTv. The Bodyblast series, the Intensity Series, and the Slow and Heavy Series are the ones featured on FitTv. HOWEVER, most of these workouts are right at or over 60 minutes in length and some of it is edited/cut out for FitTv. You may want...

This past week was so crazy that I was unable to do ANYTHING....I figured it was good to take a week off and I've already jumped back into my workouts. I think I also lost a pound or 2 last week Autumn.....WE WILL LOSE THIS BABY WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!! Have a Great Week!!! Jessi Grace born...

Autumn, you are amazing. The fact that you are working out 6 days a week with a newborn and a preschooler is incredible. Going back to work has really taken some of the wind out of my sails....but it is coming back. Last week I managed to workout 3 days...this week has been too busy to...

Hi Ladies....Hope everyone is doing well. I went back to work last week (I teach 3rd grade), so that has been an adjustment. With a 3 year old and a 2 month old at home, I've been teasing people telling them I had to go back to work to get some rest. We dodged another close bullet with...

Stacy, Bless your heart. As if being hormonal and dealing with the aftershocks of delivery. I know how emotional and hard it can be to NOT have the baby in the recovery room with you. My little guy (born 7/9/04) was taken immediately after delivery to the Special Care Nursery and put in the...

I think we definitely need to keep this post-partum check-in going. It helps knowing that my workouts will be seen by others. Things are good here in Coastal Georgia. We are still dodging hurricanes and tropical storms. It has been a very active Hurricane season so far. Autumn, my 2 and a...

Hi Jenni! I have 2 children and with each pregnancy one of the first symptoms was that I was VERY thirsty. I could not drink enough water. I also had very sore and heavy breasts. Similar to PMS, but more so. Hope this helps :-) Good luck! Jessi

Hi Everyone!! I've posted a few times on this board, and am now adding myself to the post-partum check in. My son Jack was born July 9, 2004. :-) He is five weeks old and a complete JOY!! I also have a wonderful little girl who is 3 years old. It has been an adjustment to go from one child...

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to announce the birth of our second child, John Scott Pierce Jr., "Jack". He was born Friday July 9, weighing 8 pounds and 6 ounces. He was 19 and a half inches long. I delivered him 3 weeks EARLY--and very grateful that he was early considering his size...

Hi Kristi--I just saw your message and would love to help you out. Stacy mentioned in her post that one of the best ways to prevent GD is to be in good shape prior to pregnancy and stay that way during pregnancy--I really think that is what worked for me. After I had my daughter in 2001--It...

I agree with you Autumn about how it is interesting to watch the pendelum swing back and forth concerning what is considered safe and what isn't. As far as Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners are concerned, in many cases it is not only recommeded, but NECESSARY. With my first...

This is a good question. I am pregnant with my second--due in July. I did not exercise during my first pregnancy. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and put on about 50 pounds. It took me about 9 months to get back down to my prepregnancy weight. With this pregnancy, I have so...
