This can go out to Cathe or anyone else that can help me. I own pretty much every cathe tape and I think that she as to be the best.Right now actually I am ready to start Rhytmic step.With that said....does anyone have any idea what to do about love handles?They drive me insane.I work out almost everyday and I started doing interval max every second day to see of the cardio would help.I had a child six years ago and I have stretch marks and I don't know if that would have anything to do with it.If anyone would have some insight on this it would be greatly appreciated....I want cathes belly!!!!!
 
I can totally relate! After my third and heaviest baby (10 lb 5oz) I too have a little extra around my waist. And even though I am an aerobic instructor who is pretty fit, I can't seem to lose it. First of all, you need to determine what you have around there. If it is fat, you can lose it by creating a caloric deficit--either by exercising more cardiovascularly or reducing your calories. In my case, I love ice cream a little too much so I know I could probably get rid of the fat if I were a bit more disciplined. Also, you could increase your resistance with weights--you'll increase your metabolism and eventually burn more fat. However, if you have mostly stretched out skin, there isn't much you can do short of having a tummy tuck. I have the stretched out skin in addition to the little bit of fat. Sometimes I get a little bummed out---I'll never feel comfortable wearing those midriff baring tops like I see other women do in my class and I sure won't be getting that belly button ring soon (LOL). On the other hand, I have my beautiful baby daughter and I wouldn't trade a flat belly for her any day. Hope that helps.
 
Hi, My girl is almost 6 years old and that was my problem area for long time. I still have some but almost invisible. I thought I had to live with it but once I have lost my last lbs, it started to disappear. However, whenever I neglect my diet, it pops right out.
 
Cathe has said on this forum that she is apple-shaped. If you are more pear shaped, your hips will never be as slim as those of an apple shaped person even if you get down to 8% bodyfat.

Tamilee Webb is a pear and she looks fantastic, but she doesn't look like Cathe.
