Definitely not. I take only 30 mins to get ready including showering, getting dressed and hair. My idea of makeup is lipstick. I wash my hair myself most times and allow it to air dry. My legs are always overdue for hair removal. I can't tell the last time I got a manicure or a pedicure. So I am...

Hi Cathe, Haven't "seen" on the forum for a while... hope all is well. A friend recently suggested that I place a piece of wood under my heels when doing squats. What is the purpose of the heel raise and is it really recommended i.e. is it safe to do ??

What is the longest period of time you've had doms ?? I did Pure Strength Back, Biceps & Abs for the first time last week and had DOMS for 4 days !!! ... I had begun to think I had injured myself.

Congratulations on your results Robyn !! You look awesome !!! Congrats on the pullups and chinups because I think they are the hardest exercises around. So how many can you do ???

Thanks for responding. "More effective" -eg. I usually do plie squats and leg lifts for inner thigh (while lying on my side) for inner thigh but I have never really felt any DOMS after but did so after using the machine. I will continue to work out at home because it's less expensive, more...

Hi Flyweight, I saw in one of your posts that you were a gymster but you now work at home and you think that results can be achieved with home workouts. I found that interesting seeing that you have done both. I have always worked out at home and I used to think the same but recently I went...

Hi Jessica, I started with Cathe (apart from just walking). My first purchases were :S&H: Chest & Back,Legs & Glutes, Push Pull and KPC. They were very tough but I used the weight I could handle and only did what I could in the videos. I used Legs & glutes for many months before I could...

Hi Shelley, Sorry to hear that you have brochitis. It sounds like your body is saying " hey !! I need a break!! ". I know how you are feeling though... about wanting to exercise when you are sick ... but its best if you get some rest and give your body time to recover. I hope you get better...

Hey Debra Can't believe there is someone who cries as much as me (... commercials!! :-) :) ) I cry for comedies, action movies, romantic comedies, animated movies, animal movies... everything !! And everytime I hear the theme song for Born Free I feel extremely sad.

For me the question would be... which movies DO NOT make me cry since most do. Some are: The Bridges of Madison County ( a real tear jerker) Titanic (cried for at least 1/2 hr) The Notebook Soul Food A Walk in the Clouds Breakfast at Tiffany's You've Got Mail Step Mom To Sir With Love...

There's something about Mary 40 yr old Virgin

Hi Robyn, Thanks for responding. You look fabulous !!!! ...you definitely have a beach body... Best of Luck !!! I'll definitely think about trying P90X.

Thanks both Marla and Terri for the great advice. With regards to exercising 3 hrs/day.... I am not training .... I just get a little obsessive about exercise sometimes when I am on an "exercise high". I am coming from a place where I never exercised at all before and now have discovered the...

Thanks Kathryn

Terri, Thanks for the info... I'll definitely buy the book in Jan. I have been so off in my caloric intake... I have tried 1200 calories while working out 1-3hrs, 6dys/wk and have found that ever so often I get sick for about a week or 2 so I began to wonder if I had been eating enough. Now I...

Hi Kathryn, I am new to posting on forums and I don't even use my cell to text message so please forgive me but.... what are "YMMV" and HSTA ?? Kathryn... you are so knowledgeable ... I am curious... are you an exercise physiologists or another fitness professional ??

Hi Shelley, I am also interested in getting a copy of the cookbook if it isn't too much trouble. My email is [email protected] Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I found this thread very interesting as I had seen many posts on P90X and everyone sounded quite thrilled about it. My curiosity was growing as I love Cathe's workouts and can't imagine working out with anyone else. I had been wondering what was so great about P90X and how it differed...

Hi Suz , Your abs sound like my abs and I am also on a quest to gain those elusive washboard abs. With regards to not feeling your lower abs and your upper abs tiring quickly... I think the "trick" is to work your lower abs first with exercises that concentrate on this area like reverse ab curl...

I have seen quite a number of posts on this book and it sounds very interesting. I am actually thinking of purchashing it next year. Is anyone familiar with the South Beach diet ? Can you say if the nutrition of BFFM is similar to that of the South Beach diet... i.e. 3 meals, 2 snacks, "good"...
