I've done the Firm's 90 day rotation which was a killer -- especially toward the end. Would anyone like to attempt to create a 90 day rotation using all Cathe workouts! The goal for rotation should be increased muscle gains and reduction in bodyfat. Cathe surely has enough workouts in her...

Amy, I hope you're feeling better. Now, I have a question for you. What type of competition did you enter. Bodybuilding, Fitness or Figure. I am interested in the figure competitions. Do you place? And what type of training/diet did you have. Thanks for the info.

I too had a similar question along those lines and posted it. I also eat clean, but I take in about 20%fats, 50% carbs and 30% protein. I know the ratios are way off and I should consume more protein since I workout with weights 3-4X's per week. I'm slowly starting to see my weight creepup...

RE: IMAX -- Welcome to the club! I know what you mean regarding the "preview". The moves look deceptively easy. I got to the mid-range of my target heart rate about 5minutes into it! I have my work cut out for me. As for IMAX 2 -- that's the one new Cathe DVD I did not order. But I...

Yesterday was my "rest" day from working out. So naturally I couldn't just sit out a day, I tried to learn IMAX. Well, what a shock. I could only make it through the first 25 minutes! Cathe says in the beginning of the tape that you'll have to "work-up" to this tape. "As you find you can go...

If you own a DVD player and you can, get the CX DVD's. They are by far the best workout package I've ever purchased from Cathe. The cardio section are short (about 30 min.) and it's got CXT Upper Body, Leaner Legs as well as a separate ab section. You can mix up the cardio sessions do one...

It's so nice to hear people feel like me! I get the same exact thing: "why do you work out so much" "what does your 5 year old do when you're workingout", OR "don't you think you're taking this to the extreme". As a whole, most of the remarks are made by overweight people. My response to them...

Where can I purchase this product? My resting metabolic rate must be higher than the calculations are indicating. Thanks for the input.

That brings up a good point. That article was targeting women who are "hard gainers". But at first when I read it I felt a little dishartened because if we tend to gain a little weight and we have switched up our training programs, we immediately attribute it to "muscle gains". But Annette's...

Thanks for the quick answer. The formula I'm referring to is leanbody mass multiplied by 10 to determine your BMR (the calories required to power your body for basic functions i.e. at rest) then you multiply that # by your level of activity (1-5) to determine how many calories you should be...

Hey guys, just wanted your opinions on this: how accurate are the BMR formulas. According to the formulas I should be consuming about 300 calories less than I do. I eat clean and currently I am at 13% bodyfat. I train 6 days a week cardio 3-4 xtimes and week and weights 3-4 X per week. If I...

Honeybunch, just one more ? if you don't mind. Have you noticed you gained weight after this. That's what made me stop going totally wild. I ended up gaining 2lbs! But after I "modified" my cheat day and changed my cardio routine, I lost it.

honeybunch, those words seem so timely to me. Today I'm going out to eat with my DH and DD. I am on WW maintenance and journal my food as part of the program. Even though I am extremely fit (13% bodyfat) and eat clean about 90% of the time, I still feel guilty about a cheat day. But you put...

Is it true that some people experience widening of the hips due to squatting heavy? Has anyone experienced this. I have to some degree. I notice that if I just do standing leg work my hip area varies between 1/2" and 3/4". When I did the Firm's 90 day rotation my hips measured 32" but after...

Did you modify your diet at all. Or did you just use the above rotation. Thanks :)

Thanks so much :)

Is it possible to have a section on Cathe.com for Video Rotations. I know there is a Karen or Kathy S. who has alot of them, but I have yet to hear from her. I think it would be alot easier if we had access to them without bothering someone else for them. Just a suggestion :)

Thanks so much for your input Stacy. Cardio wise I think I could make it through the more advanced tapes, but I'm a little uncoordinated. Maybe if I build up to the more complex choreography I'll be ok. I hope the cardio in her new intense series is easier to follow. You don't need to be...

I just did Mega Step Blast for the first time and loved it. I've been using Firm videos for about six months now. I did Cathe's S&H series with cardio for 3 weeks then did her PS series for about 2 weeks with cardio. Currently, I'm doing Lablovers Fat Burning Rotation from the EZ Board Firm...

Weights & Cardio It sounds great. The only thing is could you please make the choreography simple to follow. I'm one of those choreogrphy challenged people. I just got Step Jam and previewed it and the moves seem doable. That's why I like running it's simple. But overall the idea sounds...
