Cathe I was doing one of the tapes from the body blast series and right after did one of the new hardcore tapes and I'm wondering did you just lean down more with the hardcore or did you increase some of the muscle size too? It's difficult to tell, you look good both ways but I'm very curious to know. Thanks
Just leaner or put on more muscle too?

Hi Mic! Yes, I lost just slightly more body fat and gained a little more muscle too.
But really so much has to do with studio lighting. It can be very tricky and something that you can't fully control. For instance, the lighting (plus the tan of course) in the Hardcore series made my body show up more, yet, when it came time to do close ups in the opening speeches, this same lighting gave my face a "hard" appearance (well, at least it is consistent with the series title:7 ).
The lighting in the Body Blasts was quite different and at times almost washed out muscle definition. Yet for opening speeches, this same lighting gave my skin tone a wonderful glow. It's just so tricky!
The great news is that the lighting does not effect the intensity of the workout, and that is the bottom line

Hi Cathe.....this seems like a good as place as any just to tell you how much I admire your integrity. Seems you answer everything with honesty, good humour and a dose of reality. And the quality of everything you put out is exceptional. I wouldn't consider any other exercise videos but yours!

Cathe, I love your answer because it says to me "who cares how I look as long as I am delivering a challenge"! That is really great and shows you are doing this for the right reasons, determined to deliver results and the heck with vanity.
BTW, I find it impossible to believe you are capable of looking anything but fantastic but we are our own worst critics!
