Polar has a special right now - you can buy the F11, they will send it to you for 30% off - $111.87, no shipping charge - you just agree to you send them your old Polar heart rate monitor back within 30 days of receiving your new F11 - you do have to pay to ship old one back. I thought that was...

My heart rate monitor does have the calorie feature with height, weight and age programed in. Though I don't believe mine has a resting heart feature. I do work hard but the calories burned are never above 300 and I must say I feel like it should be more - so when I read that they were not the...

Yes, it was you - and now that I know what you did, I can't believe you only burned 726. How long did that take?? Might try it someday (when I get KickMax) and am willing to walk like John Wayne for a day or two.

Exactly, I did IMAX 2 yesterday, 2nd time ever, didn't fall off the step once, heart rate got to 92% in intervals, stayed between 70-75% during aerobic portions, was huffing and puffing and dripping and afterwards the watch said 196 calories, sheesh!!

I know, it's the muscle you build and I certainly work hard - it's that obsessive side of me that wants to know.

How do people know how many calories you've burned during your workouts? I use a heart rate monitor but have always read that they are inaccurate as far as calories burned goes, so are you all using those figures or are there other watches, gadgets that more accurately track calories burned? I...

Thank you, I have actually been doing it that way, but after reading about how important it is to let your muscles recuperate after weight days, I became concerned. I did do a high intensity aerobic workout on Wednesday, but was fine to do MuscleMax today and really wanted to do LowMax...

Can you do LowMax on the day after you MuscleMax, or should you do something lighter next day, like Yoga or easy aerobics?

Thank you - I can't wait to order Gym Styles - my birthday is coming up so if don't get cash to buy it, will buy it anyway as my own birthday present to myself. I'm really looking forward to doing it now, since it's gotten so many recommendations. Will also put CTX on my list for future.

I am relatively new to Cathe's workout, so don't always know what the abbreviations stand for - which one is CTX? Have to say I am amazed by all the replies - right now I think (since I did tape S&H from FitTV and am financially challenged), that I will start with S&H and as soon as I can...

Obviously you think GS Upper Body is better than S&H. Have to look on the Website - I seem to remember that you purchase them separately-will check because I want the best one I can get. It certainly sounds like GS will be one you can work up to and keep using without outgrowing.

Thank you - I will check out GS Chest & Triceps. Is the work in it like Muscle Max? Just want to check because I do have that workout and want to get something different. I did LBP this morning - am utterly astounded each time I do this one at how hard it is - by the time I finish the SB...

I did tape that series on FitTV so will begin to do S&H but am sure I'll have to purchase the DVD to get full benefit. So far Push Pull seems to be the only one somewhat intact. Have to admit, I was in shape before I used Cathe's tapes, but since doing her workouts for only 6 months, I now have...

I am currently doing UBP & LBP. Lower does it, definitely works each muscle to failure. But UBP doesn't on all exercises (bicep work kills me in that one, only time I've ever had to stop). Of course I'm new in that I only started using Cathe's tapes this past fall so am not as familiar with...

Thank you, your answer helps so much. Especially the "rest hard" phrase, I know you're right, I need to learn that resting is part of the workout equation when you are lifting heavy. I don't know why it is, but I can listen to someone else better than myself - I think this comes from years of...

I am too compulsive and need advice please. Wednesday I did Boot Camp, Thursday - High Low Aeorbics and today Lower Body Pyramid and Sunday back to Boot Camp. Tommorrow I plan to do Yoga in the morning and then was going to hit the gym for cardio (elliptical, tread, Stair climb etc). Thing is...

I looked on the site that makes the bar yesterday, they only offered the 55 lb set and then went up into the 100's - so don't think it will be the same one, I'll look. But, given what you've told me and the others who have gotten this one, I figure $43 is worth getting the exact amount that I...

I did look on Amazon yesterday, but somehow missed that set - so I ordered the one from Walmart. Certainly hope it'll be a good one, hoping so since 2 people out there say they're using them. But, hey I figure I'm just starting with them, if I need a better set down the road, I know I'll find...

I want to get started using barbells so much, that I did the same thing yesterday - thanks to the very first reply I also ordered the $20 set from Walmart and paid the shipping. After pricing them all day I realized that the only set I could get without a shipping cost was a 110 lb set from...
