I could do either....maybe do all of segment 3 of bodymax on saturday or sunday.....or I could do the strength part of ctx throughout the week. Gin Miller's tape does work upper body, but it doesn't seem near as intense as Cathe's work in the ctx series. Other than the upper body, does the...

Hi everyone! I just finished my first rotation...the ctx series. Since that was my very first rotation, I wondered if you all could tell me if this next rotation is okay (enough cardio, strength training, etc) I have been "cut off" by my dh from ordering any more tapes for awhile, so here is...

Hi Cathe! I have been doing CTX series since the beginning of September. Prior to that time period, my exercise attempts were sporadic at best. I have seen a lot of questions on here about rotations. My question is this: How long can or should I do the CTX series? I am using a 6" step and...

Hi Cathe and "educated crowd" Since I have started working out 6 days a week with Cathe's tapes.....I have noticed that I am hungrier! Does anyone else experience this, or is it just my imagination? If it is not my imagination, does this increase in appetite eventually go away? I have kept...

Cathe and the educated crowd... Doing the plank exercises in the CTX series kills me! In the tape, you say that if we start to tremble or lose our form, to stop. What happens if you START out trembling?? One of my friends suggested that I do the plank exercises a couple times a day, every...

Hi Cathe! I asked this a couple a days ago, but I think it got buried! My question concerns dumbells and barbells. I do not have a barbell. Per your advice, I am using 3, 5, and 8 lb. dumbells since I have not used weights in the past. When you are using your barbell, what do I do at home...

Cathe, Hi! Just wanted to tell you I love the CTX series! I do not yet have a barbell...and I am new to using weights. Per your advice on an earlier post, I am starting out using 3, 5, and 8 lbs. My question is this: When you are using your barbell, what do I do at home with my dumbells...

I just couldn't stand it any longer....i had to ask....when will the new videos be here??? How exactly do you define "soon"? Does that mean one week? Two weeks? One and a half weeks? On the home page it says you will be making an announcement "shortly".....again, what exactly does shortly...

Hi Cathe! I wanted to be ready to go when the new tapes arrived....could you tell me what weights I will need? Although I have done some of your step tapes (mega step blast and wedding tape) I have not worked out with weights. I noticed in one post you mentioned a barbell was used in the six...

I would love to know too! I find way too many excuses not to do exercise in the afternoon & evenings! Mornings are definitely the best time for me to exercise, but i just hate leaving that warm bed for my cold step!! How do you do it???

Thanks Everyone! I am definitely going to try the BFL Cathe combination. I am excited about starting! Thanks for all your advice and tips!

Hi everyone! I know that the body for life program has been discussed before. I wanted to see what everyone thought about it, before I purchased the book/tape. Is there a way to find the archived discussions on body for life? If not, can anyone tell me whether they recommend the program and...

Thanks everyone! And 1 more q..... Thanks for the responses! Let me ask one other question....will the weight part of the six pack videos be sufficient? Okay, I lied....two questions. How long does it take to see a difference? And will doing weights get rid of the cellulite? (lie to me...

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting in this forum. I am amazed at all of your workout schedules!! You all are incredible! I have about 8 lbs to lose, and I am currently dieting (wt watchers-so my diet is pretty healthy). To date, I have lost 27 lbs since February. I have just...

Thanks Thanks for all of the advice! I cannot believe that some of you get up at 4:30 a.m to exercise, or exercise at 10 pm in the evening!! You all are amazing. And I guess if you all are getting up that early, or staying up that late, I can certainly find some time to work it into my...
