Today my dearest sister in law cut her hair off. She is 42 years old, with two children ages 11 and 7 and the sweetest husband on Earth (my beloved brother). She has cancer. Her hair will be made into a wig that she can wear until her beautiful blond locks grow out. So today, I snipped a...

This has been leaning me out, keeping my back strong and me energized, and refocusing me on running again, after a break from it for a while. Thought I'd share. Basically 3 running days, sometimes a 4th cardio day, 3 full body workouts with one being Cathe and 2 Pilates. (But I also break...

I did this pre-mix this a.m. and was surprised when the chest workout section went right to abs with no back exercises. What happened there? Had to add in on my own. Julie

Hey Cathletes. I have a trainer through work (I know - seethe with jealousy!) and he put me through my fav workout yesterday. Today: ouch. Thought I would share as it is something we all can do - even on vacation hee hee. Goes like this: 1. Pick 6 - 8 exercises. For full body let's say...

HEY ALL - POSTED IN CHECK INS BUT THOUGHT I WOULD PUT HERE AS WELL. Cathe, I am devoted to you as always. My Chalene excursions do not change this! :) I really like Turbo Fire. You can make every workout harder or easier depending on how you're feeling, the ab workouts are excellent (Core...

Maybe it is an age thing, but at 46 I can no longer tolerate the heat when I run. I eked out 4 slow miles today with one stop just to walk and catch my breathe. Drank water before and during the run. I remember in my 30s I could go 6 or 7 miles in summer with less negative effects. Now I...

And ouch and OMG. Hated the title (all I could think was gag, oh so perky) but I watched the clip. And the reviews were great. So let me say: Jeanette could be one the Navi warriors on Pandora. She is fierce. And gorgeous and strong and dynamic and motivating. The cardio is H-A-R-D for...

That's right! I clock in at about 42-45 minutes with either the 30/30 or 40/20 warm up and aerobic section, then right to the double wave section (skip the warm-up) then cool down. Then to the hot tub for a soak. I have been doing this about once a week. This is especially good for...

I beg for flame free responding but after reading the inquiries as to Cathe's perky chest it got me thinking. In various videos she looks more up, more down, more muscuclar, more full (and really, always gorgeous). So I think it is likely a sports bra issue more than anything else...

So during Thanksgiving, after a five day stay at a nice hotel with a crappy mattress, I hurt my lower back. I have gone to the chiropractor, worked out throught it but it is still real sore. The truth is, even before that, I was getting so bored and burnt out. Maybe the back was just the...

Can I get some opinions? For two weeks, I have been so run down I cannot really exercise much. Usually I do 6 days a week (4 days cardio, 2/3 days of weight training, yoga here and there). Started a few weeks after having the flu so maybe I still have it? Went to do my usual run a week ago...

So at last I have given in before I get a fever and have to go to bed for 3 days, and taken a rest week as of yesterday. So can I vent? My muscles ache even more, I am T-I-R-E-D and I eat everything not nailed down. I have been working out very hard the last few weeks, my version of "fitness...

If others have posted on this, forgive my asking again. But has anyone done these new workouts? How are they? Are they advanced enough? His stuff lately has been kinda wimpy for my taste. Julie Fit Over 40

Cathe what a treat to open up to this on my trian ride in this morning. The secret is out: women over 40 rule the world. With you at the top of the heap. I am as proud as if it is my own sister - well, my sister in fitness that is. Beloved Hetaher you're famous!!!! And look great!!! Step...

Well until Cathe comes out with that boxing series, I am forced to consider Billy Blanks' new series. Has anyone tried it? Looks like it is more advanced than he has done in last few years. I dropped him after the Advanced Live Series, when he started to make less challenging. I would love...

Hi Debbie and all other fitness smarties. Can I get some input? Looking to get more defined muscularity. I am pretty small all over but very fit (5 2" and 104 - hereditarily blessed but I work hard at it!). Been lifting quite heavy the past two weeks for a change (ususally more high rep/low...

Yes Cathe it was I who posted on the Turbo Jam thing. But also about my Drill Max confession. Just saaw your comment about putting other product comments into Open Discussion. Will remember that. You do know of course you are #1 for my DVD player. Sometimes I may stray but I remain your...

I am not one to like hootin and hollerin aerobunnies but none the less ordered Turbo Jam. I am a big kick boxing fan, and it looked like a good deal. Has anyone else tried it? I am a big kickboxing fan, have been doing it for 15 years (even had a boxing coach at one point). Really gets my...

Just wondering if I have any fellow fans close by who would want to meet for a run or a workout. Let me know! Julie

Oh joy! Just confirmed my DVDs are at the post office awaiting delivery. So want to get to Drill Max tomorrow or Wed. Can you all who have survived it break it down? Can't find the workout breakdowns anywhere. Point me to them someone if they exist. Thanks. Julie
