Hi All! Hoping the educated Cathe crowd can provide some guidance on supplementing with EFA's. I've read some reports regarding the importance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids in the diet, and reports on the benefits they provide (good for heart health, depression, etc.) Does anyone here...

Oh, I'd love to have those!! Could you send me your spreadsheets too? That would be a fantastic tool for tracking my workouts, weight loads, etc. My email is: [email protected] Thanks loads!!! Nicole

Hi All! I want to buy a medicine ball, but am curious as to what size everyone is using? I thought I saw a post that the 8lb ball was really tough, and while I want something I can grow with, I also want something I can use NOW without a lot of modification. So I'm torn between getting a...

Hi Faythe :-) I've found with me, that I have to "slot" my exercise time, and make it non-negotiable. I start work at 7 a.m., far too early to be an AM exerciser. So for me, when I walk in the door at 4:20pm, I immediately put on my workout clothes and go for it. I don't open the mail...

Just bumping ...

I'm curious about this too. I wasn't sure how often interval training was suggested, and I've been doing 2 20 minute bursts on the treadmill (Tuesdays and Thursdays) and then on Saturday morning doing Imax 2. Is this too much interval training in one week?? Thanks! Nicole

Hi Michelle .. I'm not Cathe, and hopefully she'll chime in with some great suggestions. However, I can tell you the one tape that made a huge impact in my fitness level was Interval Max! Interval training is the best way to really boost cardio capacity/endurance. After doing Imax weekly...

Hi Cathe! I hope all is going well and your enjoying being back to your normal schedule with the release of the new series! I LOVE these workouts, I actually SMILE during IMAX .. except during Interval #9 }> Here's my dilemma .. I can't seem to make progress on certain muscle groups and am...

The tuna burgers and salmon patties I buy at Trader Joe's. They're frozen, and cook up great on the Foreman Grill. On the stovetop they used to take about 8-9 minutes (you cook them from frozen) but on the Foreman Grill they only take 3 1/2 minutes! HTH, Nicole

Hi Anna! I have one and absolutely LOVE mine! I use it every weekday after work to make dinner (usually a chicken breast, tuna burger, salmon patty, etc.). It cooks food really fast (the burgers are frozen!) and does do a great job of letting the fat/oil run off the food. Clean up is easy...

Hi Everyone! I posted this in the Ask Cathe forum too, but am wondering about the exercise habits of everyone here. I almost always workout 7 days a week and have been doing so for probably about a year. If I'm traveling for work and unable to exercise or am sick, then I might miss a...

Dear Cathe or Educated Crowd .. I almost always workout 7 days a week and have been doing so for probably about a year. If I'm traveling for work and unable to exercise or am sick, then I might miss a workout, but for the most part, I exercise 7 days a week. I'm wondering, is this a bad...

Okay .. I'll chime in, but mine is "10 Things I Love About DBF (dear boyfriend) .. 1) He ALWAYS puts me first, before anything he needs, or anyone else needs. 2) He has never ever raised his voice to me, through disagreements, debates, etc. 3) He has a STUNNING smile and wears it often which...

RE: Warm Greetings To You Cathe, Just wanted to wish you and yours the happiest and merriest holidays! Thank you for all that you do for us! Warmly, Nicole

Hi Cathe! I just wanted to chime in my best wishes to you and yours this year! I hope you take some well deserved time to unwind, relax, and enjoy the beauty and magic of the holiday season with your family. Warmly, Nicole

Hey Ladies! I'm local, in Carol Stream (used to live in Downers Grove myself!). Glad to see I have fellow "Cathe-ites" close to home! My email is [email protected] if anyone is planning a get together at some point. Friends it Fitness, Nicole

Hi Cathe & Educated Crowd! I hope everyone is having a wonderfully blessed holiday season! I'm hoping for some guidance/suggestions on building upper body strength. My chest, back, and triceps are all relatively strong, and I seldom experience any problems with getting through upper body...

Hi Jackie, I've been on a few different pills over the years, and part of your problem may be the specific pill that you're on. The first time I took OrthoTricyclen I gained a quite a bit of weight, I just didn't realize it was from the pill. When I started taking it again (after being off...

RE: Seeing results!! Decreased Cardio S&H I too would love to see the rotation you followed. I wanted to do one more S&H rotation before the new Intensity Series arrives and prefer to hit each muscle group twice a week. I don't need to lose 'weight', but would like to lose some...
