    Cathe - how much cardio?

    Cathe - I just wanted to let you know that after a week of following your suggestions (and clean eating, of course;-) ) I'm down 2 lbs!:7 Thanks again for the great advice. I'm doing the same rotation next week. After that I may go back to 1-2 body parts per day lifting followed by 30-45...

    Cathe - how much cardio?

    Cathe - I'm struggling with that last, stubborn 7-10 lbs. after losing 50. I've maintained my loss for two years (thanks in large part to your workouts). I lift weights at least 3 times per week. How much cardio do you recommend for fat loss? Is it better to do alternating days of lifting...

    Cathe, could you make me a treadmill workout?

    Hi - I'm certainly not Cathe and would not try to answer what she means by a 30-min. interval run, but there is a program called Cardio Coach that I've been using on my new treadmill. These are a combination of music and instruction from a trainer that you can download as MP3 files or order...

    PROTEIN BARS

    I rarely eat protein bars because I try to stay away from all processed foods. Most of them are basically candy bars disguised as healthy food, IMO. I make my own bars. Here's my recipe for Apple Oat Protein Bars: Apple Cinnamon Protein Bars (Adapted from a recipe on Kristin Reisinger’s...

    Resistance Band in new Workouts

    Yes, it really "gets in there" as Cathe says! I think the band has been the reason I'm starting to see more definition in my arms lately.

    Rebounder workout

    Cathe - have you ever considered doing a workout video for the rebounder? I have adapted some of your hi/lo workouts to the rebounder and it works pretty well. I have bad ankles (tendonitis) and can't do too much high impact, but I love the fun factor of hi/lo. Just a suggestion. Thanks, Julia

    Which to do first, cardio or weights?

    Cathe - I have your Timesaver DVD and I love it but I have a question. Why do you have the cardio before the weights? Do you recommend doing it that way on days when you do both? I've always heard that weights should be done first because you can lift more weight if your muscles aren't tired...

    Any advanced exercisers tried the new dvd yet?

    I consider myself pretty advanced. I do all Cathe workouts, and I just tried the Low Impact Step workout last night. I liked it. It was a lot like Low Max, but there were some higher impact moves thrown in. I wore my heartrate monitor and am happy to report that my average heartrate was just...

    sagging butt

    I can't seem to find the LegMax DVD There is no Leg Max DVD. There's Low Max, which has a lot of leg work in it, and there's Gym Style Legs - yowza! That one will cure a sagging butt for sure! I would also recommend any of Cathe's high step videos. Leg press on the high step is great for...

    Just Finished Filming Three New DVDs

    Cathe - I'm so glad to see you're going "mainstream". I'm a huge fan and love your advanced workouts, but I ordered these too for days when I don't want to do a full on burner or when I don't have much time. This is exciting! Julia

    cathe.. can you answer this, please!

    Hey you guys - I love Cathe and I think this is a good question, but have you considered the fact that she's not going to say that total body workouts are not effective because she might not sell as many? She is running a business after all.

    Cathe - lactic acid question

    Cathe - I know the buildup of lactic acid is what causes "the burn" that we get when we exercise, especially lifting weights. I've read that athletes get less lactic acid buildup than other people, and that some people are actually genetically pre-disposed to have less lactic acid buildup when...
