Hi Lynn :) Yes, if you're looking to achieve more definition or "cut" to the muscle, you would want to focus more on endurance style weight training, using lighter weights with more reps such as Power Hour, or the CTX weight segments. S&H or the PS series would allow you to achieve more size...

Hi Lynn - Results differ from person to person due to genetics. That said however, typically endurance based weight training (like Power Hour) will result in more muscular definition, while heavier strength training (S&H or PS series) will result in added size/muscular growth. Results from...

Muscular endurance is what allows you, for example, to hold a 30 lb bag for an extended period of time. Muscular strength, is what allows you to pick that bag up to begin with. Each muscle is comprised of two different types of fibers (hopefully I won't confuse them). Slow twitch fibers are...

Hi Michele :) I'm certainly not Cathe, and hopefully she'll chime in with some advice for you. My personal belief is that anything you do is better than nothing at all. Being a new mom again, and also having a 4 year old, I'm sure you're expending some extra energy (calories) above and beyond...

Hi Maribeth .. I have some dietary/nutritional questions that I'm hoping you can help me with "offline" .. If you have a moment and could email me that would be great! I can be reached at: [email protected] Thanks a bunch!! Nicole

Hi Lynda :) Welcome to Cathe .. boy you're in for a real ride!! :) I too was an advanced exerciser prior to discovering Cathe, however, she's in an entirely different league than the workouts I was doing (similar to what you've experienced thus far). I would recommend starting with the...

I like the idea of the Circuit style workout. Mainly because it would be different from all of your other weight workouts, thus providing the opportunity to make weight workouts more varied. While I'll get anything you release, I'd like to see something different from Power Hour. Just my .02...

This is the workout I was hoping for!! I would prefer something similar to Circuit Max, including both upper and lower body for a total body weight workout. Thanks for asking us!! Nicole

Sounds AWESOME to me!! The bar graph countdown would be a great addition! I also like the idea of making the interval more mixed up with the addition of other moves. Anything to make it go by faster .. :) ~ Nicole

What cuties Cathe!! Thanks for letting us see your little blessings!! Big Hugs!! Nicle

Okay everyone .. I'm desperate for advice and I'm hoping you guys can help. By luck, I'm a lover of fruits and veggies, both of which comprise a big part of my daily food intake. I'm seriously lacking in protein consumption, which is something I'm working on getting up. However, after...

Bumping up .. I'd love to have a copy too if they're found! ~Nicole

Hmm ... your results sound great!! I'm going to print this off and give this a whirl. I am really skittish about reducing cardio, because as I mentioned, it seems like this "flab" thing has transpired over the last few months .. when I was doing *more* cardio! I would've never imagined I'd...

Hey Jen ;) I have a few girls from here or VF that I chat with regularly through email and I agree that it's very motivating. That, and they're the few people I can "talk shop" with regarding health and fitness who understand my vidiocy :) Email me if you'd like and we can get keep each other...

Hi Maribeth! Welcome to the board!! Hmm .. you may have just put yourself in the line of fire with all of your credentials :) I would personally love to chat with you via email with a couple of questions/concerns. If you get a moment and could answer a couple of questions for me that would...

Hey Trevor - Hope you don't mind me butting in. This is the rotation that was listed on Volume 1 of the Cathe Rotations. I think this might be what you were looking for : Cathe’s Advanced Treadmill Workout 3.4 - 4 min. 3.8 - 4 min. 4.4 - 4 min. 5.5 - 4 min. 6.5 - 5 min. 7.5 - 10 min. 8.0 -...

Thanks Sherry ... I just wanted to make sure that my RHR wasn't too low. I would think there would come a point where it drops to the point of warranting a health concern. Glad to know that it's at a healthy range. ~ Nicole

Hi All - I'm hoping to gain some perspective from everyone here. I thought I had read once about symptoms/signs of overtraining being a decreased resting heart rate. I don't necessarily think I'm overtraining, however yesterday I was super tired and low on energy, and for whatever reason...

Okay .. this one's going out to anyone that can help me figure out where to go from here ... I'm nearing the end of my second rotation using PS, and while I've been pleased with the increased strength I've achieved, I think my body has stopped progressing, and it's starting to feel a little...

Okay .. not a "meal", but a snack .. People think I'm nuts when I sit down with peanut butter and pretzels. It HAS to be *Jif*, and it has to be pretzel "sticks", not rods, not twists. And .. I never do it any other way than dip directly in the jar :) OH .. and for the record, I've...
