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...

Hi Clare :) The very things you suggested for cross training I've been doing this week, and was surprised to find the same end results that you did. Kickboxing didn't seem to bother my achilles at all, nor did hi/lo. Yesterday since my AT was feeling fine, I went to the health club and hit...

Thanks Cathe!! After researching on the internet, I've been doing just the very things you suggested, and it's feeling better already! I plan on taking it easy (no impact) throughout the remainder of the week, and hope to get back to some resemblance of my beloved Cathe cardio early next...

Well welcome aboard!!! You've absolutely come to the right spot to kick your training into high gear! :) For recommendations, it somewhat depends on the amount of equipment you have. Cathe dominates the step board, but I'd highly recommend in investing in the full size health club style of...

Thanks Beets! I've been icing it, and while I've tried stretching it, I've been a little hesitant for fear of stretching it too far and adding more strain to the area. I'm being careful to "baby" it. I'll take your advice and try mildly stretching it a few times per day and hopefully that'll...

Hey Gang .. The last two days, I've noticed a tight feeling on the back and very bottom of my right leg, where the calf meets the ankle. I'm thinking this would be my achilles?, but I'm not sure? It's not excrutiating, however when I was doing Rythmic Step this morning, it felt really tight...

For Cathe or Anyone ... The last two days, I've noticed a tight feeling on the back and very bottom of my right leg, where the calf meets the ankle. I'm thinking this would be my achilles?, but I'm not sure? It's not excrutiating, however when I was doing Rythmic Step this morning, it felt...

Hey All! Hmm .. Wendy it's funny timing on your post. I've heard less workouts=more results. I'm basically trying to maintain my weight and increase definition, and I'm working out like a maniac and feeling softer/flabbier than ever! For the most part my eating is pretty clean, but I feel...

Hi there! I think the trick to avoiding weight gain on the pill is to chose a pill that's lower in Estrogen. Pills like Ortho TriCyclen have so much estrogen in them, that it encourages a lot of water weight gain, and additionally throws your hormones in a frenzy. Ortho TriCyclen had me...

Lol Lori .. :) never thought about measuring my knees!! Well .. this thread has certainly helped me to realize that my calves are quite in line with everyone else's. For a long time, I thought my calves had to be bigger than most women, however this is just proof positive that we always view...

Hoping you guys can give me some perspective on training calves. Okay .. so everyone has some element of their bods that they're not crazy about .. mine has always been my calves. I've always viewed them as being bigger and disproportioned to the rest of my leg, giving me an 'unbalanced'...

Hi there ... welcome to Cathe-land!! :-jumpy I'll chime in with a couple of recommendations that helped to break me into Cathe's workouts. How to Get in Shape for Your Wedding (split tape with the first 40 or so minutes being step, the second half containing a thorough weight routine)...

Hey All! :) Still training for my run .. and starting a new weight rotation (hell bent on kicking my lower bod into shape!) Here's my week: Monday - Rythmic Step/PS L&A Tuesday - Intense Moves/PS CST Wednesday - PS L&A Thursday - Cardio Kicks/PS BBA Friday - 6.5 mile run/CTX Leaner Legs...

I'm with you Lori!! I workout seven days a week .. typically six of them have cardio. On one day, I will do just weights (usually PS L&A, or Power Hour). Even though I don't need to lose any more weight, I'm fearful that taking time off will ultimately result in weight gain, as if my body has...

Ugh ... I guess the brain wasn't working yesterday .. I TOO just run a 10 minute mile .. not a 6!... Geez .. =) ~ Nicole

Hey Stacy .. You had me laughing my rear off :P I guess I was able to pull of LL after my run because it's more of a jog than a run (I only do a 6 minute mile) ... I'm training for my very first 5K .. so I'm trying to really hit the legs to build up their endurance for the big day :)...
