Heehee, I can't wait to see his follow-up article (with pictures)! :+

Thanks for the thorough response, Cathe! Holly :D

Hi Cathe, I know it is not recommended to do an interval workout such as Imax or Imax 2 more than 2-3x a week (if that much), with 2 days of non-interval training in between. However, I'm a little fuzzy as to which other cardio workouts are classified as interval workouts. For example, Boot...

This is exciting! My 2 cents: >Baby Doll tops.... -inch above the navel -regular neck (crew?) -cap sleeves -is there a possibility of 2-toned shirts? like lavendar sleeves/dark purple shirt, light blue/royal blue, pastel pink/hot pink, etc. >Fitness shorts...... -short (boy-short...

RE: Hi Holly! Yes, I would think that the BMI inaccuracy would also apply to women who are more muscular than average, but I've never seen anything about this. You'd think someone somewhere would have researched this issue! I would think a better calculation would be one that takes into...

sunsdaughter, you sound like my twin. I've wondered that exact thing and sound physically similar to you...people guess my weight at about 30 lb less than what I weigh, or they insist that the scale is broken. I always heard that BMI is a better measure of health than weight, but it doesn't...

Thank you for the suggestions! I will give those stretches a try. Holly

Hi Cathe and Everyone! First I want to say that I've done all the new Intensity Series workouts except for Muscle Endurance and wanted to commend Cathe and the crew for really outdoing themselves and helping me to push my fitness regime to the next level! I love ALL the workouts so far...

I am 29 and have been working out with Cathe for about a year and a half. I began my video fitness quest at age 14 or 15 with the Firm (the ORIGINAL Volume 1). So you'd think I'd be in great shape by now. (It's the eating part I have trouble with. ;P ) I have done the Firm since then but...

RE: My thoughts exactly!?! Lynn, Anna, Jillybean: I can relate to all of you! I work out 6 days a week, for a total of about 7 hours, but my eating is horrendous...the thought of clean eating just sends me into fits of depression. Going without the sweets and stuff. I've been known to eat...

Hi Cathe, Thanks so much for asking our input! I would like to echo what a couple of other people have said about including the CTX Power Circuit plank work. To me, that segment is the ultimate core strengthening workout. If repeating the same song as Kickbox is an issue, maybe separating...

Hi Cathe and Educated Crowd, I feel like my exercise routine is going through a bit of a slump and is currently haphazard at best. I work out for around 7 hours a week, but haven’t given any one rotation long enough to know whether or not my body responds well to it. I get bored easily so am...

getyourfreakon0402 - The recipes that I like the most so far from "Healthy Homestyle Cooking" are Chile Relleno Casserole, Mu-Shu (sp?) chicken, pumpkin bread, Hawaiian chicken, and spicy vegetable stir-fry. I'm sure most of the rest of them are good also. I didn't really like beef stroganoff...

I met my husband at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. No kidding. And, I too was in a place where I could care less about finding a man, and primarily concerned about bettering myself. However, it was mutual love at first sight. I think we both knew shortly after meeting each other that we...

I'll pray for you, JillyBean! Hang in there. :)

Okay, I may be expressing an unpopular opinion, but having just come back from Hawaii a couple of weeks ago, without weight gain or loss in strength, I would advise to forego the workouts you are used to doing and incorporate activities that take advantage of the geographical location, such as...

Hi, I had read the book when the check-in started and I think I'm realizing that I'm more normal than I thought when it comes to eating...after a long battle with multiple eating disorders. I recently decided to skip getting weighed altogether since my last weigh-in when I got incredibly upset...

I don't think I have a cyst...I go to my ob/gyn and have pelvic exams yearly and they haven't mentioned a cyst. I talked to the nurse practitioner and she said it's not terribly unusual to not have periods for 3 months after quitting the Pill, so hopefully that's really it. But it's been over...

Thanks for the feedback. That seems to be the consensus of everyone I talk to...the body is just adjusting after the Pill. I'm glad I decided to go off it now rather than waiting, because I had no idea it could mess up my natural cycle so much. Thanks again! Holly
