Hello - I am a new Mom to an 8-week old. I used to work out 6x/week at the gym for 1 to 1 1/2 hours each time - a great luxury. Now I need to modify my regime to suit my new life. I would love to maintain my fitness level and also get my body in great shape. Any advice? I was hoping I could...

Hello, I am 6 weeks post-partum and delivered by a c-section. Prior to pregnancy I was extremely fit - working out 6 days per week, consisting of cardio + weight training. Right now my core is in very rough shape due to the pregnancy and c-section. I was thinking about taking some private...

Hello, I delivered my first baby @ 3 weeks ago via an emergency c-section. Prior to pregnancy and throughout my entire pregnancy I have been an avid exerciser (typically 6 days per week, combining cardio + weights). I am wondering when I will feel well enough to resume an exercise program...

Hello, I have just enjoyed reading your history from the post that describes your 1 hour rotation. You explain how you had great fat loss results after you cut back on your workout time each day, reduced your cardio and increased your calorie intake per day. That sounds like a dream! I was...

Hi Robin, Thank you for your very kind words and your great advice! Good luck to you and your little one! MB

Hello All, I am 35 weeks along and last week I noticed a dramatic shift down in terms of my energy level and capacity to exercise. Up until now, I have managed to work out nearly every day. My routine has consisted of light cardio every day for an hour, plus and additional hour of weight...

Hello - I have about 6 1/2 weeks left to go in my pregnancy. I have been able to exercise nearly every day of my pregnancy -- and quite a bit. As a result, my weight gain has been pretty contained and mostly has been in my belly and my chest. HOWEVER, I am now just noticing the gain is...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has ever had to reduce their exercise program from 6-7 days per week of intense cardio and weights to a moderate regime of 4-5 days of less intense cardio and weights? If so, what did you experience physically? How did you feel and were you then comfortable...

Hello, I would appreciate your thoughts on instructors/videos that are comparable to Cathe in terms of great quality of instruction, great intensity, etc. What instructors do you rely on to mix up your Cathe workouts? I see so many alternatives (Jari Love, CIA, Amy Bento...) but don't have...

Hello, I am having my 1st baby in late May. I am extremely committed to exercise and go to the gym 6-7 days per week. I do 3-4 days of cardio and 3 days of weights. I expect that when the baby is born I will need to workout at home on a regular basis (this will be very new to me!). I am...

Hello! I am 32 weeks pregnant, expecting my first baby. Pre-pregnancy weight was 103 lbs (I am just 5' tall). I have gained @ 20 pounds so far and think I will gain 5-10 more, which seems to be normal. I have been extremely committed to my exercise program for 10-12 years - arguably too much...

Hello, I just purchased Ripped 1000 but now I am concerned that I do not have all the equipment that is needed to effectively do this workout. Can someone please tell me what is needed? Thank you!!

Re: Have you tried Drill Max? I have not - is that a step workout (easy step) or simply a cardio workout? I'll give it a whirl if you think it is what I am looking for. Thank you!!!!!!
