    Working out after work?

    I've been doing my workouts after work for probably 5+ years, and it works well for me. I know if I came home, relaxed, had dinner, etc., and then tried to muster up motivation, it wouldn't happen. I think for me now, it's become such a part of my daily routine, that I don't have a problem...

    Intuitive Eating check-in May 8

    RE: Weekends are for Fun! Hey Carmelle :) I thought of that theory myself initially as well. However, after a lot of thought, I realized that I just don't crave that kind of stuff during the week. I really think it's induced by the appetite surge that comes after a cocktail or two. I read...

    Please consider a CTX Upper Body tape as well.

    Me too!! I'd *LOVE* to be able to use the CTX upper body weight sections on their own. It's so cumbersome to fast forward 5 tapes to get to each weight section!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put them all on one vid! :)

    Interval Max Support Group Check-In

    Jayne .. you're TOO funny :P IMax has been my 'beast' for a long time!! Most times I tackle it .. but I still have moments where I'm foaming at the mouth during those plyo jacks because of the "fire in the thighs" .. :) Modifications or not, I'm still absolutely THRILLED when it's all done...

    New and Male

    Hey PK :) Welcome to CATHE-LAND!! I think the videos you chose were great picks. I just recently polished off a 10 week rotation with the Pure Strength series, and am quite happy with the results and strength gains I achieved. Keep in mind, Power Hour is more endurance oriented, and while...

    Interval Max Support Group Check-In

    Hey All! I wanted to share a discovery that I thought might help. I've noticed when I've attempted IM during the week at my normal workout time (after work, around 4:30pm) that I struggle with it more. If I do it on a Saturday or Sunday morning however, after about two cups of coffee first...

    Intuitive Eating check-in May 8

    Hey All - Well .. I did just fine throughout the week, but my battles come on weekends. If I'm out having drinks with friends, it sets off my cravings and appetite, and I end up overeating big time. My world has become a perpetual cycle of clean eating during the week, and munch-fests on the...

    What Are Your Quirks?

    What a HILARIOUS thread!!! :-gloat Okay ... here's what I'm *neurotic* about : :) I too *highly* encourage friends and family to order anything that comes with french fries .. so I can graze :) I MUST eat dinner each night during the 6pm Friends re-run. If it's a day when it's not on...

    Powerstrike vs. CardioKicks?

    RE: Thanks again, Donna! Thanks Donna! :) Gee ... here I was thinking I could get off cheap and just get one for now!! :\ Is PowerStrike and CK Sales the only place that sells those vids? I've been looking all over to find a slightly less expensive price tag .. but no luck thus far. Thanks...

    Powerstrike vs. CardioKicks?

    RE: Thanks again, Donna! I was thinking about ordering PowerStrike, but am unsure as to what vid to get. I love intensity, combinations, and prefer a nice balance of kicking and punching. What's the difference between the Millenium 1 and 2 videos with regard to the moves, choreography...

    Interval Max support group

    Hang in there Donna!! :) When I first started IMax, I too had to modify (and I weigh 110lbs) all of the same intervals you're having too. It's NOT like the rest of her cardio tapes, and requires ALOT more lung capacity and muscle use than just your standard step workout! I found that by...

    Freak or what!!

    I can *totally* relate!! My first exposure to "sit and stands" was in PS Legs .. then when I did Leaner Legs for the first time, and found that we were subjected to BOTH sit and stands, and those dreadful "low-ends" I thought for sure I must be nuts for subjecting myself to that!! :) However...

    Length of Cardio

    Hi Sharon :) I agree with the other two gals .. I think it really depends on the person. I could do 5 days of hi/lo/step cardio, and the week that I throw in a couple of runs in substitution of that, I end up dropping a half pound or pound .. I think everyone's bod is the entirely different...

    Hitting that plateau

    Hi there :) Just wondering, have you tried Interval Max? I know when I was trying to lose weight, my body would often stop responding to my efforts, and after a couple of weeks of throwing in longer cardio workouts, in addition to more intense workouts (i.e: Body Max, MIC, and Interval Max)...
