Hi Cathe,
Made me look, it is a balmy 67F in Albany NY.
I have a couple questions for you:
I was wondering about heart rates. Frequently I see my monitor telling me I am working really hard. I know there are different methods of calculating HR such as Karvonen which would make it seem a little more reasonable. Is perceived exercise more important? This all might matter in making sure I don't push it too hard too often to allow the body to recover. Would love your take on this.
There has been a lot of discussion it seems on the harm from desk jobs. It seems that you can be fit but desk jobs might still be a maker for metabolic disease independently of getting up in the morning and working out. I'd love to get up more often, but it's not like I can close my door every hours and do some jumping jacks. Would love your take on this as well.
Great news about the blender. I can't wait. And the new workouts coming out. What a treat this all is. Thanks a lot for all that you do!

Hi Cathe!
As a gift to myself I'm working with a personal trainer, thinking about doing a figure competition. She regularly comments on how awesome my form is and I always tell her "It's because of Cathe!" Thank you for all of the awesome form tips in your workouts - you keep us all in line and we love you for it!

It's a lovely 70 degree day here in Chicago too. Speaking of Chicago, do you think a roadtrip might make it here in 2011? Can't wait! How are the new workouts coming along? Can't wait to get those too. Hope you are doing well. Loved the Halloween picture you posted on Facebook, you ll looked great!! Now I have a visual for when you insert your evil witch laugh in your posts!

Big HELLO from Minnesota where it is 60 and drizzling

Hi Cathe, Just wanted to say Hi. I fractured my toe a couple of weeks ago, and I can still do resistance workouts, but I really miss doing Step, Hiit, CCC...and all of your cardio workouts. I really hope it heals when I get your new workouts. OH, well!! Have a great Halloween. I loved your witch costume and your boys looked great too. Enjoy this nice weather, I am in Philly and loving it too!!

Aw, Jenn, I hope your toe heals up fast. Not fun to be put out of our routine for sure. Feel better hugs coming your way

I hope so too!
Not dressing up this year, but I will be dressing up DD for the first time this year - she will be Minnie Mouse. Can't wait, she's excited. Maybe if Chicago doesn't pan out I can use her as an excuse to get to Disney for your roadtrip there.

Hey Cathe!
Just got Muscle Max in the mail today. Soooooo excited!!! I'm training for a run on Thanksgiving Day (my first ever--YIKES), so I plan on using MM for my strength days. Any advice on training? (I'm just getting serious about it now... I know it's last minute!!)
Hope you're having a great day!
Kate! That is so exciting!! I am so proud of you! Three kids and a figure competition -- you go girl!! This is very inspiring!

Hi Cathe,
Very cold, windy ,and gloomy here in Minnesota. A little hard to stay motivated when the weather is like this ! Just when I want to go home and crawl into some sweats and curl up on the couch, I go and schedule Kick, Punch ,and Crunch for tonight.
Looks like my sweats and couch will have to wait until AFTER KPC ! Will be well deserved that's for sure. Thanks for the kick-ass work outs and motivation
