    Slim Series or P90X?

    Hey Janice, I thought I remember reading in one of your posts that you ordered the "door gym" in order to do the pull-ups in P90X. If so, did you order it on-line or find it in a sporting goods store? I was thinking about looking over the weekend at a sporting goods store. Also, I...

    What's so great about Power90X?

    I also have been enjoying the P90X system, after using Cathe exclusively for the past 3-4 years. I have been doing it for around 2 weeks, and I don't have a pull-up bar yet. I do have bands and have been trying to substitute the back work with the bands. I do still love Cathe obviously...

    Summer reading lists....

    Clare, I know what you mean about that list of books by the bed!!! If you like Maeve Binchy, you might like someone named Cathy Kelly. I just recently finished a book called Someone Like You by Cathy Kelly. In addition, you might like Marian Keyes. Marian Keyes has had a lot of popularity...

    Digital Cable vs. Satelite?

    Hi Kathy, I agree with everything that Fab40 said. We have DirectTV and really like it. We only lose reception when the clouds are really heavy or there's a bad thunderstorm. But I think the packages are a good value, and I have had no problems with service. Sorry I can't comment on...

    Why is it that heavier people are so critical????

    I think that some heavier people don't have the dedication to do it and that is why it is a foreign concept to them. (Only some people, obviously there are those that may not be able to lose for medical reasons or have tried and failed). Unfortunately, it just may be that your new co-workers...

    OT/ bedwetting alarm??

    RE: Have you talked to your son's doctor? Hi Sue, Glad to know that I am not the only one with a daughter that's wetting the bed. She is also 9. We have also tried the DDAVP with her. It seemed to help some, but when we try to take her off, it seems to come back. It still seems to be...

    HELP! Burning shins when doing PLB lower body ball work!

    Hi, I had a very similar thing happen to me, also. I only seemed to feel it in my shins. I have not done the workout in a while, but I recall that there is a section just before the floorwork that works the shins. What I started doing is separating the workout and doing the floorwork...

    Power 90X

    I also ordered on 4/22 or so. I was told that they shipped USPS and that they did not have a tracking number. I ordered the DVD's and decided to try some of their protein bars. Well, I got the protein bars via Federal Express on Friday, but no sign of the DVD's. I talked to a customer...

    Ringaling, Debbie H... P90X :-)

    Thanks Barbie for the ideas, Do you find that this rotation includes enough cardio in light of your goals? I am thinking that I may need a little more cardio for weight loss. Again, everyone is different. If I were to do more cardio, it would probably be mostly walking and/or a short...

    Ringaling, Debbie H... P90X :-)

    Yes KathyH, Please, please share your rotation with us. I have been having the same feelings like I am betraying Cathe, because this is the first time I will be doing anything different in 4 years!! I caved and ordered yesterday. No matter how I structure any workouts lately, I cannot seem...

    Stretch marks

    Hi, I know it can be discouraging, and I have them pretty bad too. I decided, what the heck, and I wear a bikini anyway. I have a pool, and can kick around without anyone seeing me anyway. I also have some issues with sagging in the lower stomach around a C-section scar. I know those abs...

    Thicker legs due to leg press anyone?

    Hi Lundquist, Thanks so much for the suggestions. It is so hard for me to imagine only using 8 pound dumbells for lower body work. I usually use what Cathe uses in most workouts. I did notice good results from using Power hour previously, and I may have to give that a try again. It's...

    Thicker legs due to leg press anyone?

    Hi Lundquist, Would you mind sharing what type of low-weight work you are doing for lower body? Do you mean the weight range that Cathe uses in Legs and Glutes? I have been using that workout lately and I really like it. However, I am still struggling with my pants being tighter in the...

    Your favorite Cathe phrases.....

    I like one during the Slow and Heavy Series where she says something to the effect of "Are you still with me?", "you didn't pause your VCR and go make popcorn or anything?" I think that one is so cute. Although, at about that time, food would really make me throw up. But the break...

    What's your fav body lotion?

    This past weekend, I went to Victoria's Secret and picked up one called Body by Victoria (same name as the lingerie itself). It is very light, fresh and clean, and not as sweet-smelling as many of their other scents. Wanda, I always do that when I go to Bath & Body Works, too! I spend...

    Help with lunges

    Hi Mary, Kathryn had some great suggestions, but I just wanted to add one thing that I thought of. I don't know if you have BodyMax, but I recall that in that video she shows 2 options with lunges. She does lunges on the floor, and she has two participants doing a lunge onto the step. She...

    Pure Strength BBA - T-Bar Rows

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I have not done the tape in a while so it is quite possible that I am not loading the bottom heavy enough to keep it from slipping between my legs. I will give that a try and let you know how it goes, or substitute some of the sets with barbells. I do...

    Pure Strength BBA - T-Bar Rows

    Okay, I feel really stupid, but since we were discussing that exercise in PS and I will be doing that tape this week with Cathe's January rotation, I have a question that I have always been too embarrassed to ask. (Ha, just joking) I always feel that the barbell is going to slide between my...

    Favorite Perfumes

    Connie, I really like Michael by Michael Kors also. You are right, it is really unique. It's somewhat strong, but nice. I have a problem with perfumes lasting on me, so it's good for me. I also like Kate Spade, but it is kind of sweet, so I wear it more in the Spring & Summer. I also...
