You all look absolutely FABULOUS!!! These pictures are making me more giddy about the new workouts! It's going to be a rough few weeks waiting for them to arrive now!! :-) Thanks for sharing!! Nicole

Hi Rhonda .. I think for 'fat loss', you really need to perform both cardio and strength training. Yes, strength training will build muscle, but I wouldn't recommend neglecting the most important muscle in your body .. your heart. When it comes to losing weight, it's all about creating a...

Wow Lori .. I feel for you! Any benefits aside (which sound limited in comparison to what you have to deal with), it sounds to me like they're not being very respectful, and are taking advantage of your kindness in letting them stay with you! $40 a week isn't much at all, especially when...

Well said Clare!! I grew up being overweight most of my life and it wasn't until the age of 18 that I decided to make some changes. With a strong history of heart disease in my family, I knew that if I didn't want to fall victim to an early death, I need to radically change my lifestyle, my...

To answer your questions, we'd need to know what your goals are in terms of strength training. You mentioned wanting to focus more on weight training, but is your focus to add definition, or to *build* muscle? S&H wasn't necessarily designed for 'plateaus', but rather to add another training...

Hi Janice! I too just finished up with a S&H rotation last month. Since the last week of September, I've been doing Power Hour 2x per week, and MIS 1x per week. I have seen *incredible* results with this rotation! Lots of definition, and I think I've even experienced further gains, because I...

Hi Cathe & crowd! I'm looking for some guidance on embarking on a different training style. Up until now, my weight training has been all Cathe at home. Since I have a couple months to kill before the intensity series I wanted to use this time to try gym style lifting. Now, aside from...

IMO, you really do need both (sorry!) S&H is a great series that is entirely about building muscle and increasing strength. However, due to the nature of the workouts (higher weights, few reps, and 8 counts on each rep) it's definitely draining mentally, and is not recommended for more than 3...

I think it all depends on how often you're weight training and how heavy you're lifting, in addition to clean eating and genetics. I've taken spurts off here and there for a variety of different lengths of time, and for me, it just depends on how often I'm doing it, and how much I'm putting...

You really do need to include quad work to avoid muscular imbalance, which could potentially lead to injuries. If you don't like squats, you can do leg extensions. If you have access to a gym, they leg extension machines. Otherwise, you can use heavier ankle weights and do leg extensions...

I too will keep you in my prayers for guidance as you do God's work over there! My sister just returned from a mission trip in Mexico, and said it was the most incredible experience of her life!! Warmest wishes and God Bless!! Nicole

RE: Me again, Lollie! Hey Debbie! :-) I'm afraid I'm going to miss the announcement on this one. Could you add me to your email list when you hear the date for the end of the pre-sale? I want to make sure I don't miss it! Thanks a bunch! Nicole [email protected]

Bump ..

Hi All!! I've heard that Body Rx and BFL are similiar in style, so I don't want to buy both books. Having no knowledge really of either, I'm hoping you guys can't point me in the right direction. How do the two compare, and which one tends to offer up the most results? I don't want to give...

Hi Everyone! I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. I just finished a S&H rotation, and prior to that had done the Tank Top Arm rotation. I have no idea where to go from here. My goals are mainly, FAT loss, not weight loss. I've got a few areas (thighs, stomach) that...

Hi Susan :) Well, on Day 1, the workout comes in at just over an hour. I do the warm up of CST, and skip the warm up on BBA. On day 3, I'll usually tack about 30 minutes of cardio on beforehand, and then move into the weight work. That portion is about 30 mins total, so just about an hour...

I've never been overly thrilled with the size of my calves either .. however I've found that working them (ala PS Series) the way it's presented in the video has actually slimmed them down! In doing this workout, I've noticed about a 1/2" - 3/4" reduction in their size. I do the first set of...

Well .. IMHO, weight training whether endurance or strength oriented is never a waste of time! Each has their own place in a well rounded fitness regime. If you're seeking mainly to define but not necessarily build muscle, then I would recommend the Tank Top Arms Rotation. The concept is to...

Hi Cathe :-) I hope everything is going wonderfully with your little guys at home (hubby included) and the new Intensity Series project!! I'm hoping you can ease my mind regarding a few things on the Chest & Back workout in the S&H series. First .. the heaviest dumbbells I have are 12lbs...

Hey Lynn :) Well .. when Reese's get added to the top 10 list of stellar foods .. can we please have them add cheesecake right next to it?!? :) I'm about to embark on a S&H rotation now that summer is almost over. I'm hoping to achieve some nice strength gains for shoveling myself through our...
