Does anyone know if Cathe's tour is going to stop in Los Angeles? if so, when and where? Just wanna make sure I can make it.

hmmm........

I am glad there are other people who are experiencing the same problem.:) Yes, I have been doing butts and guts for 6-7 months now(maybe more). There are great workouts, no question. But like I said, my upper legs are bulking up which I am not crazy about. Are we fighting genetics?:( yes, Cathe...

I looked into the freestyle workout. It seems like they have a very high number of reps which I don't think so much repetitive motion is very good for the joints. I mean 40 lunges is gonna take a toll on your knee joints after a while. What is the proper balance between weights and reps when you...

what is freestyle training exactly? Is it doing the same workout without weights? If I don't lift weights I don't feel the burn. I can easily do 40 squats and lunges (w/o weights that is ) without getting tired much. :confused:

Does anyone know how often Cathe gets a chance to answer questions?:)

I had some similar problems with my knees while running ( I had no surgery). I suggest lowering the step height to minimum and also strengthening your lower leg muscles by doing various exercises like side and front lunges, squats, lateral raises,...as long as you doc has no problem with that of...

Thanks everyone for all your suggestion:). I am still not sure why the leg muscles are getting a bit bulky while I am not lifting very heavy and doing a rep of 16-24,that's relatively high reps. I was hoping Cathe could recommend something .

Thanks for the suggestion :D but there is so much goodness in fruit and vegs that I am not sure cutting it is the best way to lose fat.They mostly contain no fat or if they do its in the form of mono/poly unsaturated fat and very very low in calorie. There are tons of vitamins, minerals and...

my diet I recently went 100% vegetarian (I was 70-80% before that) so now I take my protein in form of whey protein shakes, milk,eggs, nuts and 0% fat yogurt. Other than that, my main food is vegetables, fruit, fruit blends ( berries , tropical, kale, etc) and whole grain/wheat bread and...

Thanks guys, I didn't see much difference even when I was running 7-8 miles 3 times a week.:( I do kick boxing sometimes and plenty of yoga. I have been working with STS since Jan09. It firms up the body tremendously but there is still a layer of fat on top that won't go away. Of course, I...

Hi Cathy, First off, let me thank you for all your wonderful workouts. They are easy to follow yet very challenging! I am totally hooked on working out with you now.:p I am 5'3", 116lbs and have been working out for about 10 years now and for the last 2 years, I have been following your...

She is jealous! Ignore people like that. They are not worth the emotional toll it takes on you. First off, its not selfish to take care of yourself. Afterall, if you don't exist, nothing exists around you. Always be the best you can be. Secondly, I think she is just jealous and insecure. I bet...

Los Angeles ! It would really be awesome to have one of the seminars/workout in Los Angeles! Its an easy city to get to really from a lot of places in CA. Short seminars on nutrition would also be great.

STS question Thank you for the quick response!
