    Pyramid cardio

    Hi, I would love to have a pyramid cardio workout that utilizes incremental increases in intensity to reach an all out effort push for 30-40 seconds and then the same decreases in intensity back to the starting point. I find gradually increased intensity cardio a little less shocking to the...

    Shingrix

    Yes, I had the first of the series of 2 and whoa! My shoulder ached for a few days, not unlike bursitis aching. It was pretty painful, but probably worth it from what I read about shingles. I have to have the second of the series next month.....I will be glad to have it over with.

    ADVANCED!!

    I agree. Cathe workouts historically have been the ones I turn to when I don't want to waste time with moves that don't challenge me. They do the job, do it well, and are fun to do. That requires great skill and a professionalism not seen in many others. Being a Cathlete has always implied a...

    Leg Press

    I've noticed that the exercise "leg press" done on a high step has not been included as much in Cathe series over the last several years. Is that strictly a fashion decision, as in its gone out of style, or has it been shown to not be as effective as other lower body moves? It is interesting to...

    Plantar Fasciitis, inserts, and knee pain

    Thank you everybody, all your replies really help. I wish I did have a place to swim, I will try to get a refund for the inserts I did get, and if I get another kind, I want to try the no arch support suggestion, and will use them gradually, not all in like I did before. My instincts have been...

    ADVANCED!!

    I would love a series of metabolic workouts, with compound exercises and plyo moves. Circuits that really amp up cardio moves followed by compound exercises working every muscle group even allowing for them to be plyo-cized if desired.

    Plantar Fasciitis, inserts, and knee pain

    Hi, I was recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, given inserts which I wore when pounding on my feet which resulted in knee pain. I am reading on a variety of forums this can happen when using inserts. What a mess. Now I can't do squats or put too much pressure on my knees. It is pretty...

    Aging and Intense Training

    I'm 67 and still push myself too hard, but am now realizing I need to slow it down more often. We do this for our health, but if it is making us tired and unable to do other things due to lack of energy, it doesn't make sense. It's hard to give up intensity and I fear I will lose my tone etc...

    Found condonms in my 17 year old sons backpack (advise)

    When I was 17, and even if I am a female, I would have been mortified to discuss sex with my mother. I think this requires very careful thought before any confrontation. I'm with Elsie. He is obviously demonstrating responsibility and may even simply be hopefully prepared. He's a young man. He...
