    Hi/lo video recommendations

    I adore Cathe's step videos but I'm looking for some hi/lo workouts to add variety to my rotations. I like tough workouts with complex choreography, if that helps. I've heard Christi Taylor's hi/lo workouts are good - any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help! :)

    Fun question: If you have a college degree, what's it in?

    I have a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, minor in Health Promotion (random, I know...). I currently work in Marketing for an equipment manufacturer so the business part relates. I'm working on my MBA right now but my true love is health and fitness. My husband is currently...

    Tipping Question...

    I personally despise tipping... I wish things were a set price and you didn't have to worry about whether or not you should tip someone. My personal philosophy is that I will tip someone who provides a service for me. Hair dressers, massage therapists, nail techs, etc. There are other...

    Kentucky here! I'm guessing my state will not be #1, unfortunately. :) I'm not going on the road trip however... Guess I should have read the entire post before replying. :)

    What's the Best Approach to Working Out After Being Sick

    Emily, I feel your pain! I've been sick for over a week now and I just can't figure out what's wrong. I'm scared to do any kind of workout because everytime I breathe too deeply or laugh too hard, I start coughing uncontrollably! I keep thinking that I should do SOMETHING since I don't feel...

    I need luggage!!

    Travelpro is excellent. That's what most flight crews use. You can find it at TJ Maxx pretty cheap. It's very durable if you travel often. I don't regret buying it.

    I HATE WHEN SOMEONE TRIES SO DAMN HARD TO

    Susan, I feel your pain! I work from home and often find myself feeling lonely but then I remember all the crazy people I left behind in the office... and I feel better. :) Working in an office can be really annoying at times... Just trying to be supportive - I don't really have any...

    I just do NOT not not understand this!

    You would think that... but it's actually harder than it seems to work in a gym. Granted, the gym I worked in was really busy (there weren't a lot of sit around on your butt moments) but by the time your shift is over, the last thing you want to do is stick around and work out. I would try...

    Name the "OMG I got to work my ? today"

    RE: Name the It's so interesting how different everyone is! I, too, DESPISE lunges!!! If it weren't for videos, I'd never do them. But I can't go against the grain when Cathe & crew are staring at me... My favorite body part to work is back. I'm not really sure why but it feels so...

    User Names

    Mine's not too interesting... Fitchick is pretty obvious but the 1716 was the last 4 digits of my telephone number at one time. I am not 17 or 16 years old. :) Sometimes I use fitchick1980, which is my birth year. Yes, I was born in 1980. My co-workers all find that hysterical. :)...

    Soooo cofusing

    Katia - The mixed messages are extremely confusing. I used to drive myself crazy wondering whether or not I should or shouldn't be eating this or that. One day I had a sudden realization that the answer is pretty simple: no food should be completely off limits. As long as you make a...

    I hung a pic of Monica Brandt on my fridge for motivation...

    Joanna - I've been there before! Several years ago I had various photos of fitness magazine models in my refrigerator and cabinets for motivation. I had some people over to my house for a Pampered Chef party and since the pictures had been there so long, I didn't think about taking them down...

    Incorporating body for life with Cathe

    I've done BFL and I do Cathe workouts, but I've never done the two simultaneously. From my experience, BFL worked REALLY well for me the first time I tried it several years ago (before my Cathe days). I completed about 8 weeks of the 12 week cycle but stopped after a car crash with a drunk...

    Where to buy barbells?

    Robyn, I got mine at Dick's Sporting Goods too. It was a 110 lb. plate set with a barbell (15 lbs) and 2 adjustable dumbbells. I really like those. I have 5s, 8s and 10s (regular dumbbells) and now I can make 15s, 20s, 25s, or whatever I need without having all those single sets sitting...

    Anyone from the Tampa area? Looking for fitness classes

    I am leaving for a business trip to Tampa tomorrow morning. I had a dinner planned but it was cancelled so I have the entire evening to myself! I am looking for a fun fitness class to go to. I am staying on US19 in Tarpon Springs (near Innisbrook). I prefer straight step - no kickboxing...

    Travel workout

    I would love a travel DVD!!! Remember many people travel for business and have laptops with DVD players (like me!!!). You can get the portable DVD players for next to nothing if you are traveling for pleasure (they're also great for those who have children on long car or plane rides). As...

    I am looking to lose 15-20 pounds which kind of rotaion should I follow?

    Hi - I have the same goal as you do. I haven't been exercising consistently in the past few months so I decided to start with Cathe's fat loss rotation (see link below) then move on to a muscle building one because I don't think my body can handle the soreness of lifting heavy weights right...

    Wierd caution on food label

    Kimbra - I have never seen this before! I definitely will check it out. As one of those "crazy marketing folks" myself, I can tell you this is probably just some good old fashioned marketing. Many claims can't be made about a product legally - especially on food. I suppose they're using...
