Hi Cathe - Is there any advantage to using a heavy bag for throwing boxing punches versus shadow boxing? Thanks (Did MMA Boxing yesterday - hoowah!)

Hey, Has anyone used Cathe's nutrition software, and what did you think of it?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism). Wondered if anyone has any experience with this. My doctor told me I would put back all the weight I had recently lost (40+ pounds). Part of me is freaking out a little bit, but I can't believe I can't control my weight with...

I was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (that was a surprise). Anyone else have this? Are there any supplements out there to help regulate the thyroid? I will be on levothyroxine, but I was wondering if I could do anything else to help get myself back into balance. I'm a little concerned...

Hey Cathe - Would you ever do a DVD that is more instructional, sort of a Kick Box for Dummies kind of DVD. I like the leg exercises you do on Kick Max - it not only makes my legs a little stronger and a little more flexible, but I can actually see the moves. Thanks!!

You made my day! Thanks, I needed a good chuckle. Excellent idea!!

Hi Cathe- You have taught us that we should put a day in between weight workouts when working on the same muscle group. Does the same hold true for abdominal workouts, or can they be done daily? Thanks!

Cathe - Thank you. I've been working out with you and the other ladies for two to three years now. I've learned a lot, and I thank you. I also wanted to share that I've lost 30 pounds. It was hard at first, but did get easier as I kept losing. I really believe a large part of my success...

I think I strained one of my knee tendons in the right knee. I dont' think it's tear, since it gets better, then I use it too much, and it starts hurting again. Can't afford to see a doctor right now, since no insurance. Anybody experience this? I've found info online saying the best way to...

This may be a dumb question, but why do Cathe and the gang wear gloves while doing kick boxing, etc. Are they weighted?

I agree I have to agree with the other posts. The training is all laid out for you, no need to think, just go and sweat. I am on Meso 3 first week, doing the 6 month rotation. Yeah, I'm stronger and I can actually see definition. Hard work but well worth it, and when you have Cathe and the...

I'm coming up to my one year anniversary of breaking my left wrist (surgery with two pins). Thanks Cathe and my fellow Catheletes for your empathy and excellent advise. I DID listen to my doctor and physical therapist and my wrist is pretty close to good as new. Thanks, thanks, thanks. My...

Has anyone done research, read any good books on emotional eating behavior? I'm looking for books that offer some practical advise on dealing with this issue. Thanks.

You guys are great Well, I guess I can expect a skinny, stinky arm when the cast comes off. Seriously, I appreciate all the advice and I promise to take it easy. Better safe and slow, then doing more serious damage. (I do medical transcription, so my wrists/hands are very important to me!)...

Ladies thanks so much Cathe, Thanks so much for the response. That was just the info I needed to hear - now I know eventually I can back up to speed. Kathryn, Thanks my friend - again just the advice I needed to hear. Aren't those casts a pain!
