Which Cathe DVD's would be "metabolic training?" I know Afterburn, AT, and CrossFire are. Are circuit workouts metabolic because of the compound exercises? Or would the STS Cardio Series be more metabolic because of the shorter breaks after intense bursts? I've been trying to educate...

Cathe has so many little motivational gems in her workouts. What are your favorites? (I'm trying to find my new mantra -- and good inspiration!)

Anyone else thinking about wearing their workout clothes to the registration/meet and greet on Friday? I'm trying to simplify things for myself ;)

I have owned this DVD, no lie, for about 4 years. I've done Boot Camp a few times, but never tried ME. I loved it! I guess I need to try Muscle Max now, too :)

This is from Devin Alexander's The Most Decadent Diet Ever (she also has a show on Discovery TV). It's a great cookbook -- healthier versions of lots of high-cal, high-fat favorites. These were really good. My ricotta was skunked, so I gave some cottage cheese a whirl in the food processor...

I finally got the battery changed in my watch, changed the transmitter battery, and washed the WearLink strap. Made sure the wireless modem was turned off, no baby monitor, no cell phone. The heart on the watch is not flashing to indicate that the transmitter is sending a signal to the...

I keep refreshing...no button!!

Cathe, I don't know if your remember my story about my Road Trip 2005 souvenier :-). My daughter turned 2 earlier this month (I really hope to attend the August road trip this year -- hard to believe it's been almost 3 years!). She's a little Cathe-ite herself. She loves to stand on the...

I'm shooting for August, sign-ups this Friday. What do I need to share -- name, addy, phone, email, credit card number...anything else you remember? :-)

I just picked up Oxygen's Glutes mag. Have Tosca and Robert been married for a long time? Am I the last person to know they got hitched?!?! I found the Eat Clean Cookbook yesterday too -- at Costco for less than $10!

I have a cheap-o Danskin barbell that holds a max of about 30 pounds, so I've been pondering ordering the Troylite bar and picking up plates when I find them on sale. I went to Dick's Sporting Goods tonight and found a 100-lb. set (iron plates, not the concrete-filled, rubber-coated ones in...

Are both types good for muscle recovery, or is one superior to the other? I don't know enough about either. TIA. Allison

Realistically, I will never completely give up baked goods, but I have been exercising more restraint in limiting my intake of the sweet ones! Knowing this one simple fact, is this book helpful for a person like me? Is the info in it really that much different than what you read everywhere...

FYI...Rubber-rimmed Reebok weight plates are on sale at Target this week. They are for standard size dumbbells and bars. 2.5 lb - $1.99 5 lb. - $4.99 10 lb - $7.99 (instead of $11.99) The one I was in today only had 4, 2.5 pounders and 3, 10 pounders, so I've got to hit another Target...

After weeks of debate, I took the plunge and ordered STS. I'll be 35 next week. I need more muscle mass for my slowing metabolism, and more weight-bearing exercise for an increase in bone density. I am not very faithful with weight training, as I do it with no real plan in mind. It sounds...

I've had PUB/PLB for 2 years, and I've never done PLB. I'm doing Cathe's Aug '03 rotation this month. Did PLB today. Wow. I never realized how difficult a stability ball workout could be!! That, coupled with the walking lunges Cathe tacked on to the day's workout, has my hamstrings and...

Are these each 45 minutes to an hour, or are they shorter? (If this has already been asked, I apologize -- I didn't see it!) TIA, Allison

I had decided not to buy STS, because it sounded too complicated for me. But the FAQ you've shared really simplified the program, and it no longer seems overwhelming. Thank you for clarifying the program! Allison

I just used my new Body Max 2 DVD (which is awesome :) by the way!). The sound is perfect until the triceps section of the upper body workout. Suddenly it drops out, and Cathe and the music appear to be in a vacuum. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

We are remodeling our downstairs, so I don't have enough room to step aerobics right now. Aside from modified KPC and strength training DVDs, can anyone recommend any other workouts? I'm going to try Body Fusion tomorrow. We leave on a cruise in 4 weeks and I'm trying to lose the last 4...
