The flat bench works your muscles slightly differently then on an incline, I'd suggest doing both as you hit the muscles differently so they build up a bit faster and stronger, and their is no gap in strength in the pecs. As flat your inner pecs don't work as hard as on an incline, where as an...

Hi Millie, Welcome and congrats on finding Cathe and theses forums both are filled with a lot of knowledge and wonderful people. Kit

I'm usually the exercise person when dealing with anorexic patients. Instead of doing Cathe have you tried Yoga or pilates. These are very simple exercises; that you can do, and can help focus your mind away from the negative thoughts. A lot of patients say they've had some really good success...

Nicely put Cathe, and some great info in it as well. I've jumped into the August rotation, and have found for most post it's equal to what I've been doing, but focuses more on just one body part, each day. Rather then my two body parts per day. The first two days really felt awesome. But due...

My mother does this, she’ll stand behind the breakfast bar so all you see, is her chest and waist the potato chip bag and the hand going up and down out of it. Like a speeded up cartoon hand, and she about takes out a whole big bag of potato chips. But her cholesterol, is getting lower because...

I missed today's August rotation I'll do Tuesday's tomorrow, there is just no way I could do what was called for today after teaching 2 intermediate Aerobic classes 1 advance aerobic class, and 1 advance strength training class. I'd fall right on my face. So don't worry about it. Either stay a...

Hi Neha, The one thing I'd like to caution you about, our brains and nervous system run strictly on carbs, nothing else. As well as cutting out all carbs makes it much harder to start the production of burning fat. There have been documented studies, where people have cut out all carbs and...

Hi Angel, I like these socks too, but they are a bit more expensive. I've had mine for 3 or 4 months now. And they still look great and haven't worn out. Mine are pretty thick so I think it'll take them quite a while, but I wear them at night in my house so they do take a pretty good...

Bunbun, Yes after the first minute of your walking cool down, as your heart rate is still pretty much struggling to come down with the new pace before that, and can spike back up sometimes. Kit

As Carole, said intervals are great on the stairmaster, if you have a walking tape or even a walking routine just modify it for the stair master. Or you could even use one of Cathe's step tapes, and go with steping with her, that should get your heart rate up. It will be up to you to replaces...

I'm going to have to post pone, day 2 of the August rotation, I ended up taking over 3 separate aerobics plus I still have my own strength training class. But I'm sure I'll probably get it's equivalent in to day. Kit

I grew up on a beach, well my preteen years and teenage years. So the beach doesn't affect me. I do eat a bit, but I do a lot of running in the sand and swimming. Running in the sand, burns nearly 45% more calories then if you ran on pavement, so you should be a bit more hungry if your doing...

Good luck, and I hope you get exactly what you want. and for your go home clothes, make sure you have a baggy button up shirt so you don't have to bend your arm back too far for the other sleave. Very lose pants, as when you tug just a little you'll feel. And if you have to be in there for a...

I did the GS series twice a week with a rest day inbetween + cardio each day. I did it for 4 week straight, then changed the rotation, and then did S & H for 2 weeks the same way, and now I use all 3, GS, S&H and PS in a rotation, this last rotation is one I really like, but I'm glad I did the...

Congrats Kathryn, hitting 5,000 is a very big accomplishment. On the admin site for the game server I work with to keep hackers and crackers off it. We havea forum and each 5000 posts you get a different title for it. We have Newbie which is 10 or less posts, Regular until 5000 posts, Expert...

Congrat's Pinky, way to go, I have already started to add in more carbs and protein into my diet for this rotation, I usually don't do rotations except for my own, but this one is just a little bit more advance then what I've been doing so, I figured why not. ;-) Kit

I just started it today, I modified today a little, I did Imax1 + PS legs and abs Instead of the walking lunges. It was a good workout and I burned a little over 400 calories. Kit

Susan, I can totally relate, my mother is a 32B and if she was a 32 DD or DDD there are a ton, but 32B is like an endanger species or something. She grumbles about it when ever she needs to go bra shopping. And I’ll probably end up in a 32 B pretty soon, the more I work my chest and build...

Hi BunBun, As to the recovery heart rate, for us it depends on what type of runner, sprinters we take standing still, while the long distance runner is the one who just slowes down to a fast walk and it is actually taken after 1 minute of fast walking not within the minute they slow down...

Hi Everyone, My goals this month are: Doing the Aug 05 rotation, for myself and also when I hear the football team complain that all I do is make too hard of workout and I can't even do it, and my workouts are so much easier. They can try to do Cathe's rotation *evil grin* And we get to...
