How did I not know about Cathe? I received the new Collage Video catalog and noticed the Gym Style Workout. I then started doing some research on Cathe and was stunned to find all the raves about her. How have I missed her? I feel like I’ve been living under a rock! I’ve been doing mainly The Firm & Fit Prime with a little Janis Saffell and recently David Kirsch thrown in. I’ve been working out for years and years and I’m pretty toned all over except for my butt, which I can’t seem to firm up. I even joined a health club this month and hired a trainer in hopes she could help firm up my behind.
Also, I recently went to a “nutritionist” and he felt I needed to cut back on my workouts. I was doing at least a full-body workout every day and sometimes two with an extra butt workout thrown in for good measure. I don’t do a lot of extra cardio – maybe 30 minutes two or three times a week on the Stairmaster. He told me to cut back my workouts to one hour a day, and no more than five days a week. He said for me not to do any extra cardio and only three weight workouts. I’m 5’9” and weigh 127, he used the RJL Fluid & Nutrition Analysis and said my body fat was 20.1 % but I was very low on muscle mass and he felt like I was living in a catabolic state. I eat mainly protein bars and shakes during the day and usually a large dinner, healthy but very large quantities typically Salmon, veggies, maybe a starch and often-another protein bar after dinner. (Detour bars seem like desert to me) I thought I was eating fairly well – obviously I’m clueless. Now I’m supposed to eat five or six meals a day. I’m afraid of gaining weight / fat and loosing the muscle I have. I’m definitely in the mind-set that if a little exercise is good, more is better.
I’m feeling very unsure about how much to eat and how to workout. I’ve ordered Gym Style Legs and Stretch Max, but after reading all these posts I think I should have ordered others. Help! I would really appreciate some input. Thank you.
