    Cathe, question on calories

    Just wondering, when one takes a rest day or even a rest week should they modify (ie decrease)their calorie consumption or food intake? I usually seem to be just as hungry resting or working out!! LOL. What do you do, Cathe? Thanks!

    pyrimid's or gym styles?

    I'm wanting to purchase either "pyrimid upper and lower body" or the "gym styles". In your opinions, which is best or more effective for building muscle? I already have MM and ME and enjoy both. I'm sort of leaning towards the "pyrimid" w/o's. Any thoughts?

    does anyone else feel guilty..

    I do know better than to keep going and going...but I do it anyway! I guess its the adrenaline rush or the feeling right after working out that keeps me hooked. Or, if I take days off I'll get in a rut and not want to workout period (has happened a few times in the past). On days I do nothing...

    does anyone else feel guilty..

    When they take a rest day from exercise? I have one heck of a time talking myself into not working out on any given day. There are days I'm just flat out tired....then after an internal struggle with myself to "couch it" or blow it off,I find myself lacing up my shoes and working out. I always...

    Need a change

    Hi Cathe, I usually don't have much time to post (just browse the forums and order your dvd's of course!) but I need your input. I've been working out at an advanced level for about 18 yrs. My workouts have always consisted of running for my cardio followed by about an hour of circuit/interval...

    "Premixes for Strength, ?Question?"

    Has anyone done any of the premixes on Drill Max (or any of the newer circuit workouts) that just utilize the "strength segments" like the "total body premix" on Drill Max or "double upper body" on BM2? Can they be used as a "solid weight" day in a rotation. I only have Muscle Endurane and...

    Kate, Ok, now I'm freaking out! What do you mean cancer probs? This was never explained to me. As a matter of fact, I refused going back on any hormone supplement to get a period post babies because of my ordeals with them in the past. I don't feel well mentally as well as physically on...

    new to Cathe

    Hi Calee, I'm kind of new also. Not really new to Cathe, I used to use her videos in the early 90's to supplement the Firm (for more cardio). I kind of got away from Cathe videos when I started running for my cardio. I continued with the Firms and Fitprimes and still do to today but just kind of...

    trying to conceive , but lacking periods

    Hi Kate, Michele and everyone, I didn't quit all workouts at that time, but I cut back drastically. I all but stopped running and only worked out a few days a week rather than say, 7 (lol). Believe me it was one of the hardest things I had ever done. I couldn't imagine NOT working out. I was...

    trying to conceive , but lacking periods

    This whole topic sounds like the story of my life! After years of 2 miscarriages, no periods (blamed on low body fat, running and working out) my Dr. had me try decreasing my workouts,gaining some weight etc.,nothing worked. I truly didn't want to go on hormones so I tried everything and...
