Not sure if this is the right place to ask... I just did the ab section of Low impact circuit. Some of the exercises are a little advanced for me yet. Rather than try them and get my form wrong (I could feel some low back strain in some of them) would you recommend substituting a different...

I currently have the Body Blast set and Drill Max, Body Max 2, Low Max and Butts & Guts. I was considering getting the 4 DS series just because it seems like it would be a nice "easy" way to get cardio & weights every day. I am also interested in the Hardcore series - would it make sense to...

I'm onboard with this. I NEED to do it in the AM or it doesn't get done. However, my biggest problem with this is the snooze button!!! I need to start tomorrow - or I just keep putting it off! Then if I get any extra cardio in after work it's just gravy! I don't know which video I'm going...

I am finally starting to feel better after suffering horrible morning sickness, etc. I want to get started back to exercising, but I'm a little afraid to start back to Cathe workouts because of their intensity. I'm thinking of using my elliptical for 20 min or so to get back into the swing of...

Hi Cathe (and others) I know you can't offer medical advice, but hopefully you can give an opinion on this. I've been out of the exercise loop for several weeks since finding out that I am pregnant and dealing with weeks of morning sickness and that sort of fun. I know I can't start back...

I've been out of the exercise loop for several weeks since finding out that I am pregnant and dealing with weeks of morning sickness and that sort of fun. I know I can't start back with cathe's regular workouts because they were hard for me before! I wonder if the beginner workouts would be...

Hi ladies, I'm back from the land of the lost! Thanks Jill for emailing me and giving me sort of a wake-up call! I've been suffering from morning sickness for several weeks and have actually lost 7 pounds - between giving up alcohol and being sick and not wanting to eat much of...

I'm a fellow 1st trimester....due May 22nd. I don't think I'm showing yet, but I had a belly before - feel bloated/flabby and all of that fun stuff. I haven't worked out in SOOOO long, I feel horrible about that - but I've been so sick - I've actually lost 7 pounds, but of course, I had some...

Hi everyone, Sorry once again that I've been MIA. We are in the middle of a carpeting project that has become more work than we had thought it would be. It's basically like moving all the furniture in the house...just not moving anywhere. So it's interesting to say the least. We have to...

I wear them right now, but I thought I remembered something saying that when PG you can't wear them, or that they wouldn't "stick". Anyone know anything about keeping acrylic nails while pregnant?

Congrats! I'm due May 23rd (if I figured right). This is my first!I go to the doc on Oct 3rd, so I should have more info then. I look forward to getting to know you through our journey! Amy

Hi there, I read somewhere that when exercising during pregnancy you shouldn't let your HR go above 120 or 140 (read both numbers on different sites). does anyone know if there is truth to this, and if so, do you use a HR monitor while exercising? Any recommendations to which brand? I...

Hi Jessica, Best wishes to you too!!! I spent yesterday enjoying the news with hubby and sharing with a couple of close family members. Everyone is so excited, it makes me worry that I'll go to OB this week and they'll tell me I'm nuts! Anyhow - I look forward to posting together! We...

I repeated this morning and the results were unmistakeable! POSITIVE!!! I'm so nervous, scared, happy. What a rush of emotions! I have to make an appt with the OB next week and confirm it with a blood test. I'm such a rookie, I have no idea what to expect... Guess it's time to read my...

Thanks, I may try to give them a call. The really unusual thing about it is that when I pull up their website, the two tests they show on their site look nothing like the one I've got. Mine has two windows - the first (closest to the cap end) says "R" and the other says "C". The site...

OK...so I was supposed to get IT this week...still nothing. Normally I have it by Wednesday... So I went to Walgreens and got a Fact Plus test - thought I took it correctly, and a line is in the "R" window but nothing in the "C" window. So does that mean that it's an invalid test, or that I'm...

Hi all, Hubby and I are going to start ttc. Well...that is if I'm not already. I'm due to start this week, but nothing so far...other than fatigue and headaches and a few small "pingy-like" cramps. Anyhow - Ideally I'd like to get myself in better shape before we start trying, but if it...

Marie - thanks for the tip..I may do that, as I wondered how safe it was to work the same muscles every day. As for removing wallpaper - I feel that pain!!! This house was completely covered in gaudy wallpaper when hubby moved in. The Zissner (I think?) is great stuff...spray it on, wait...

Goodmorning BB's I took a rest day yesterday. I just didn't have it in me - I was physically exhausted, so I decided to rest because I figured I could risk injury if I pushed it. But today I'm back on track. Marie - isn't painting fun??? Of course I'm being sarcastic, but it always...

Hi all, Once again, sorry I've been MIA. I had a good start to the week. Started back to school yesterday, and have gotten up early both yesterday and today and worked out. Yesterday I did Cardio & Weights (fitTV version) and last night hubby and I took pooches (and the dogs too...
