    What weights do you use?

    I don't have a couch just a long line of dumbbells ranging from 1 lbs all the way to 35 lbs (and I really want a pair of 40 pounders). I also have 4 1.25 lbs. magnets so I can do, for example, 22.5 lbs. when the 5 lbs. jump is too much. My barbell weighs 15 lbs and I have enough plates to go...

    ICE or LITE?

    Just jump right in! You can do whichever you feel like or even both. If I haven't done something for a while I'm just cautious and use lighter weights and sometimes shorter workouts (that is one reason why timesaver premixes are so good). Listen to your body and if you are extra sore...

    Perfect Pump Lower Body Group Shot

    Here's another question--am I the only one who wears shorts??? I could never wear tights working out indoors even when it is the colder winter months (I live in Maine, folks). Full tights are reserved for when it is maybe in the 50s and lower and I'm working out outside, or skiing!

    pulsatile tinnitus

    We've had a bit of a discussion about tinnitus before and my current bout with it is lasting over 2 years. Weird thing is, just last night I was thinking about the time I was having pulsatile tinnitus but I had NO idea it was a thing or even had a name until I just read this. Mine just...

    Perfect 30 Update - 6-28-30

    I completely and utterly agree with the above comments. I actually think it is almost a good lesson to learn out of all of this: patience, good things come to those who wait. Actually I should say "great" not "good" because we are talking Cathe workouts here!!

    Plateau Busters

    The name alone is catchy--almost sounds like a tv series. Seriously, though, I'd be in for this. What an excellent idea.

    Where to Begin with Cathe

    Of course Cathe workouts will help build and/or improve cardio and strength. Please note it is a fallacy that to be strong you will have big bulky muscles. Most of us women don't have the testosterone for that to happen. What we do have is love of fitness and the desire to maintain excellent...

    More Cathlete Ts Please

    This is a request for more Cahtlete T-shirts. I just watched the clip from last weeks live workout and Cathe has a Cathlete T on. It reminded me that mine are so worn out they have been relegated to gardening t-shirts and I'd love to have more to wear at work. I'm proud to be a Cathlete and...

    Video Clip Of Cathe's

    It's so cool that Cathe continues with doing these live workouts though it must feel weird without her usual people joining her. I watch the latest clip once a week when I can get to a computer. I don't know if I do it to torture myself since I have no way to participate. I guess I watch...

    Lifting the same and more then when I was young, Good? or Injury for the future?

    Obviously I'm not Cathe but I must say I don't listen to naysayers. I'm almost 50 (which I still don't think is that old) and people say to me you shouldn't lift that much, you are getting older so you can't . . . Tell me what I can't do and I'll do it! I think as we age we may have to make...

    Cathe Gratitude 2020

    I often think I was born in the wrong era (and I don't belong in the past, rather, the future). However, there are a few things that make me consider myself very lucky to be alive in this day and age. Cathe would be one of them. Discovering her years ago has shaped my life (and my body!) in...

    Lower Body Workout to Pair with Ramped Up Upper Body

    I just did Fit Split Legs and Glutes and was thinking that it would be a good pairing. I think it really works all aspects of your legs thoroughly and in a short time. It's tough!

    Who wants step tutorials?

    I think this is an excellent idea for those who want to do your step workouts but are 'dance' challenged and think perhaps that doing a step routine is pointless for them. I struggle a bit but now with years of Cathe under my belt I do pretty well. In fact I'm finding I love the step workouts...

    Unusual sensation in my arm 3 days after having blood drawn

    You are not the first person I've heard complain about this. Anytime they have to "feel around" for a vein is red flags and I know of many who complain that a nerve was hit. I would take that complaint to the place you had it done and never let that particular person do it again. They should...

    Are my workouts becoming counterproductive?

    Never underestimate the power of rest. I think you must have at least 1 rest day a week. If you don't, I liken it to not getting the right amount of sleep. If your body doesn't have any downtime it will break down and yes, your workouts will become counterproductive. Over the years I've read...

    Way to measure band tension?

    I've worn out my Cathlete shirts (they are now used for gardening). I would love it if more became available.

    Best workout type for fat loss?

    What type of workout is best for losing fat? That is easy: the one you will actually do. Of course what you eat helps as well.

    Cathe, I don't know, PHA Training is also a Boss.

    I too love the latest PHA workout. I've been working long hours so I've been doing it as the 1/2 hour timesaver (1st half or 2nd half on different days). I really love to up the weight and make it much harder when doing the shorter sessions. I do hope she does more PHA on dvds since I can't...

    Training shoes

    If you can search we've had this discussion before and you may find it helpful. I've always used cross trainers for Cathe workouts on carpeted and smooth floors. Remember pure walking or running shoes will not give you lateral support and tend to catch on carpet. I never recommend a...
