    July RT - Amtrak Meet Up

    Hi Kristin. Where are you coming from? I think we should advise Rapid Rover a few days before the trip and then we'll call again about 20 minutes before we want them to arrive. I ordered a Cathe t-shirt and ball cap yesterday so we'll recognize each other instantly! I'll pull this thread...

    Amtrak

    I've been stuck on 95. That's the WORST! Philadelphia traffic can be pretty bad and I would be driving through Philly. I'll probably be on the train. Looking forward to meeting you! sonja

    I'm no. 106! x(

    RE: Jean: Did you get in? Lorrie, It was from SNM. My credit card was charged. It seems ligit to me. There was a duplicate registration and also some "blank" orders (probably errors due to the hight volume of internet traffic to the website - just a guess) so they got the next few...

    Personal question, but I really need advice...

    I am going in for a consultation about the IUD next week. My doctor will not prescribe pills for me because I'm over 35 and ... smokex( I can't give you my opinion since I'm not using it yet, but perhaps the IUD is an option for you? If I don't like what I hear at the consultation, I'm...

    Cathe, is there enough cardio in 4DS to get lean?

    I'm not a big cardio person and have been doing 4DS for 2 weeks now. Lost 6 pounds without a huge change to my diet. :7 My plan was to do 3 days a week of endurance workouts and 1 straight cardio workout for the next two weeks and see what happens with that. But I'm just starting out...

    4-DS is Fabulous!!

    This is my second week doing 4-DS and I just wanted to post that I LOVE this workout. Its so fun the hour goes by fast. I still haven't quite gotten all the step work down on the high impact step routine, but after a couple of more tries I'm sure I'll get it! I can't wait to hear more about...

    Pull Ups

    I thought pullovers were for the back not the chest. No wonder I wasn't feeling it in my back. I don't use the gym anymore, so I wanted to replace the pull up machine with free weights. Thanks for all the ideas. I will looking into getting either a bar or the tubing. Sonja.

    Pull Ups

    Cathe, I really liked doing 'assisted pull ups' at the gym. Is there an exercise with free weights that works the same group of muscles in the back as the assisted pull up machine? I thought maybe the pullovers would do it, but I don't feel it the same. Maybe I need to use a heavier...

    What was I thinking???

    Hey, thanks for all the support. It helps. I'm a shy person who HATES confrontation, so this is a life lesson for me about standing up for myself. I thought about going to the media. I'm still waiting for a response from them, but if they try to scam me, I will go to the local news and maybe...

    Work Muscle Until Failure?

    When lifting weights (either heavy or light with a million reps) is it a good goal to lift until you can't lift anymore? Sonja

    Trying to put on muscle/however:

    This is what I'm going to do as well. I much prefer lifting to straight up cardio and I don't want my body to adjust to an insane amount of cardio. I think 30 min. of cardio 3 X a week will be my plan followed by heavy weight training and then 2 circuit days. Hope it works! I'm also going to...

    Student loan question

    Lisa, can you speak with your supervisor about considering paying for yourself? Perhaps they would agree to pay if you pass? If you tell your boss that you are willing to do this to move up in the company and that you want to know how they felt about it, what are your chances of getting the...

    DH wants me to quit exercising

    You received a lot of good suggestions! I guess I would agree with most and say maybe you could cut back just a little and see if that helps your husband feel okay. Does he know how imortant it is to you? Does he want you to completely stop? Tell him you've worked hard to get to where you...

    What was I thinking???

    I am so upset that I let myself be scammed!!! I haven't used my Cathe videos in a few years. I had a baby 6 months ago and haven't been able to motivate myself to start working out so, I went to a gym. I hired personal training sessions and have been totally ripped off because the trainers...

    Heavy weight or complete reps?

    Hi Cathe! I really enjoy the Muscle Max workout. During the plie squats I use a 15 pound weight but I cannot complete all the reps. In this instance, and generally, is it more productive to lower the weights and complete the reps, or just take a break for one or two squats and then continue...
