    Anyone have a Paragard IUD?

    I have had mine for nearly 6 years and it is the best ever. I don't remember it hurting more than a slight pinch. I had it put in 2 months after my 2nd baby was born. I've never had any cramps since having children, and this was no exception. I don't remember periods being heavier either. I...

    Loving Our Bodies

    This body provided everything needed to form two beautiful human beings from two cells. This body can run an hour straight without breaking stride. This body is stronger than it ever was and always gets a clean bill of health. But this body has cellulite, flab and stretch marks... SO...

    Least Favorite Cathe Workout?

    Low Max feels about 2 hours long--boring. SJP--don't like the hi/lo and the music is horrendous. Pure strength upper body.

    cardio fusion

    I made a modification to cut the length and the boredom factor when I play CF straight through--I skip the warm-up (all of the warm-ups in that series are too long and boring, IMO), and use the BM2 step routine twice through as the warm-up. I like it much better, and keeps the workout right at...

    Twin Cities Minnesota Get-Together?

    I'm in too! I live in the 'burbs, so can make it pretty much anywhere in the cities if I'm around on the date chosen.

    Yogurt question......

    Hi Becky: The number for sugars on the nutrition label is the sum of sucrose, fructose, maltose, galactose and lactose. Lactose is the naturally occurring sugar found in milk. The lowfat plain yogurt you are buying is probably good quality with high milk solids and therefore, milk sugar...

    I hate kickboxing!

    I started out not liking it as well as more traditional forms of cardio, but a lot of that was not having much experience with it. Now that I'm comfortable with it, I have to say it is my favorite form of cardio-- I do it at least once a week. I like it because, unlike many other lower impact...

    Do Cathe's comments ever make you laugh?

    Comments and even sounds. She uses lots of sounds (da-DAH when showing the slam-its on LM blast 4-I think), and I always anticipate them and smile or laugh. Today I did IMAX 2 and on one of the blasts where you are going across the top of the bench with the 1-2-3 count, she tells you to sit...

    Are there Cathe dvds that you hardly ever use?

    I used to not like KB that much, but now I find it to be pretty much my favorite form of cardio. I rarely use L&G, Classics, Hits or SJP. For L&G there are other leg workouts that are so much more intense. For Classics and Hits, I rarely do steady state step, but when I do, it is usually...

    Can Someone Help me?

    Rita: You are an inspiration! Keep it up and do it for you. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Anyone else think that Jari's R&C is bo-rrrring?

    I have all of Jari's, but only do them very infrequently, for variety. I know when I've memorized the weight routines on a Cathe, its time to switch it up. I did R&C for the first time last week. I found it to be very lacking for lower body, but pretty darn good for upper. It was the first...

    CTX has been a blast!!!!

    I haven't found 4DS Bootcamp to take any more room than anything else. I also don't haul out all the equipment Cathe does. Where the weights or band or anything else is used just as a place marker, I don't use it. If the equipment is physically used (such as the step), then of course I do...

    Kelly Coffey-Meyer DVDS

    She is my favorite instructor after Cathe. Kimberly Spreen is third. I like all KCM workouts for one reason or another. The newest Step Box is unbelievably fun.

    Finding it hard to use my other DVD's...

    I tend to agree. The only plug I'll put in for using other instructors once in awhile, is when you go back to Cathe, you love her that much more, and the workouts kick your butt all over again. There is something to be said for adaptation. I have done IMAX 2 so many times that I don't think...

    Seasun Zieger "Bosu Blast" 2006

    RE: Seasun Zieger Another fan of BOSU, especially Seasun's. I like the low impact, high intensity work. Another way I've used the BOSU, aside from how Truton posted, is to use it for the cardio portions that use the high step topper in HSC and HSTA. It helps with both the fun factor and...

    What's your discipline strategy?

    Meredith: I do exactly the same thing. In the rare instances that I take a rest day during the week, I don't feel right all day at work.

    Kickbox followed by weights the next day?

    I pretty rarely feel it in my legs the next day, so I'll either do leg day or skip shoulders if I'm doing upper body.

    Treadmill Question

    Two words: Cardio Coach The beauty of the treadmill is you have so many options. I love intervalling with incline. It allows you to jack your heart rate up without impact! And yes, it is great for your legs and backside. Kind of depends on the day, the music and if I'm listening to...

    Which workout did you not like at first, but now do and why?

    I've read a couple of times recently where people bought a Cathe workout and didn't use it or even sold it, but then tried again much later and ended up liking or loving it! What made the difference? For me it is Low Max. I never liked it when it came out because I couldn't keep my heart...

    Questions about Slow and Heavy

    I rarely do S&H series because I get bored during it! But I will pull the leg workout out once in awhile, as I did 2-days ago. That was a good choice, because I'm still feeling it! This one and GS are the only ones that make me sore. I highly recommend a barbell for this workout. Cathe uses...
