Okay, so I just posted a monster update on the check-in thread (now renamed to "The Cathe Nation's Official Get Healthy / Recovery Thread" ... If I remember correctly :p ), so I'm going to try to keep this post as short as I can. :D First of all, I want to say that I'm so... surprised, in a...

I love spring-time. I wish I didnt have to go to school anymore... second semester high school seniors watch movies and do busywork eight hours a day. :p I'd spend all my time outside if I could. Spring goes so fast... soon it will be summer and I'll be sick of the heat! My city has this...

The Cathe Nation's Official Get Healthy / Recovery Check-In Thread Firstly, I want to say that I've changed the title of this thread from its original title (instead of "The Cathe Nation's" it was "Mercurial's). I know, I know, it's not usually good Internet manners to make changes after people...

Thank you all so much for your responses. :) Morningstar, although I'm not happy that someone else here understands what I am experiencing, at the same time I am happy to know that I am not alone with this. Mixed emotions, I guess... I had no idea someone else on this site might understand...

(Cautionary Warning: This post is probably kind of depressing and some people who love being fit and healthy might find it alarming. But I dont know who else to ask than Cathe.) Hi, Cathe! You have so many questions all the time, and I feel bad taking your time, but I honestly dont know who...

Exercise-Lover, at your recommendation I checked out Cross-Train Express preview this evening, and OMG. What a great value! $90 is really steep for me right now, but when you think about it, that's a really inexpensive cost per workout. And I cant believe they fit all of those workouts onto just...

Thank you so much for your response, MissW! :) I'm going to give myself at least a week before I decide on a purchase because I dont want to jump into things, and I dont want to be impulsive (which I usually am, hah!). I think I'm really leaning toward CCC then, since you mentioned that CB...

I'm trying to decide between: - Cardio Core Circuit - Circuit Blast - Step Moves I own: - 4 Day Split series - Butts and Guts - HiiT - Basic Step I talk a lot, so if you dont want to read all my text, my basic questions are: Which do you think is better? Why should I part with...

Joan, thank you! :) I feel much better about the program and being prepared for it now; I knew there was a 1RM guide and how it worked, but you've really put it in perspective for me on how the two work together to create an ultimate workout experience. Mrsprincess, you've really sealed the...

Thanks, Loralie, and good luck! I look forward to seeing how you do these next few months, since we are similar in fitness (lots of cardio, not as many weights, want to lose some weight but not a whole bunch, etc)! :) I wonder, do you guys think that STS is a good buy even if you have access...

Unfortunately, March more or less was a 31-day plateau. I saw a 1.5 pound loss this month, despite a very rigorous workout schedule and a very strict diet. But April is a new start, and I'm excited to see some well-earned results this month! Fitness and nutritional goals for April: 1) Lose...

Hi! I dont own STS, but I'd love to one of these days. (But for now, I am a poor college student, and $300 is too steep for me. Maybe for Christmas, eh? Or more likely, next year's Christmas... :p ) Besides, as you'll learn, I'll definitely need time to work up to such a commitment anyway...

Okay, well this didnt turn out the way I hoped it would. :o I want to let you guys know, just for your information, that I'm a very tiny person when I'm at a good weight for my height... I'm just south of five feet tall, so I always have to eat a lot less than a person of average height even...

I'm trying to lose weight at the moment, so I stick to healthy foods and keep my calorie count below 1200, doing cardio for an hour a day in addition to core exercises. I let myself eat whatever I want on Sundays though; I find that having a "free" day keeps me from craving highly calor-ific...

(This post has been slightly editted. The topic and intent remains the same, however.) Inspired by the Bye Diet Coke, I'm going to miss you thread. Also inspired by the fact that I work out for two hours each day (1 hour cardio, the second core exercises), the fact that I consume far less...

I've only had HiiT for a little over a week now, but I've fit four workouts in a week (I didnt do more simply because I dont want my muscles to become used to the routine and dont want to have my mind begin to find it boring), and it's not too difficult to do two HiiT programs back to back...

I cant wait until I see results like you guys have! :) I received HiiT about a week ago. I havent tried the Double Wave Pyramid routine yet, but I can handle 30/30 and 40/20 each with a modified step (one riser instead of two :o One day I'll be able to do them with the second riser, right?)...

I just bought HiiT last week. I really like the high intensity and I think 30min is a good length (I would give out if it were much longer!), but maybe a half hour after I end up feeling like I havent done enough and usually do another one or another workout. I'm not sure if I think it's worth...

I feel your pain! I tend to gain weight around my stomch and thighs. You have to add the cardio workouts --it could be anything from Cathe's workouts to just jogging around. I'm sure all the ab workouts are helping, but your six-pack is hidden under the layer of pudge you have. ;) There's no...

An audio download would be so great. I love working out from the comfort of my own home, but I do enjoy going to the gym occasionally as well. Do audio downloads exist? I'm off to search cathe.com with vigor! :p
