Hi there, I find that Revolutionary Technology Nutrition's (RTN) Bionic Edge Whey Protein to be some of the best on the market. they have incredible flavors, no sugar, low carb, and mix tastily with water & ice. My favorite flavor is banana. They sell a travel pack that has about 6...

Nathan Lyon's Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes **Edited 7/19/2009** Let me just say that I made these pancakes yesterday morning, and they were INCREDIBLE!!! I was a little skeptical about the Ricotta Cheese, as I don't care for it, but the cheese taste was undetectable. It gave the pancakes a...

Hello to all of my Vitamix Ladies!!! (actually, these recipes can probably be prepared with a regular blender..a few of us just shared some excitement a couple of months back when we got VitaMix blenders around the same time) At any rate, I wanted to share 2 recipes that I'm really...

I have both a wavemaster and a free hanging heavy bag. The wavemaster is GREAT for kickboxing and MMA workouts. Do not fret..you have what you need :-) I'm sooooo excited about this new series. I preordered this evening :-) good luck, FitGirl-ATX

After seeing this post, I did some research and checked out both the BodyBugg and the GoFitWear devices. Gosh, I'm really interested in trying one out. However, I can't justify the expense at this point in time. Maybe I'll save up and get one later. I've always wondered how much I'm really...

Baylian & Deb, I am soooo loving the Vitamix already. The recipe book that came along with it seems really cool! I am so excited about trying the recipes. My beautiful Vitamix box finally arrived yesterday (5 mins before my client arrived..too bad b/c I was going to make her a green...

Hi Baylian, I'm actually an Alissa Cohen certified level 1 raw food chef. I took the 1-day course in December. However, I personally find that her recipes are a tad bit too heavy for my tastes. I prefer lighter foods, and not as much avacado or nuts in my diet. I'm about to read Natalia...

Also, was this question meant to be placed in the "Ask Cathe" forum? Seems like it's more of an "open discussion" question. Wasn't sure if this was an oversight by the original poster or if it was truly meant for Cathe. At any rate, you might re-post in Open Discussion to get additional...

Wow - I would LOVE to be able to afford an enagic kangen water filtration system. I was considering getting a reverse osmosis filter for my home, but a friend recommended a kangen water filtration system. I think that I'll include it in my next round of home improvements, but it will be a few...

WHOOHOOOOOO!!! Congrats on the new arrival, Baylian! I ordered my Vitamix from eBay the day after you did (your post encouraged me to just take the plunge, as I'd been going back and forth for a few weeks about seriously getting one). Mine should arrive tomorrow. I can't wait!! I soooo want...

Hi Elsie, Kettlebells originated in Russia and were molded into "poods"; 1 pood = 16 kg (35.2 pounds). In the days of the old strongmen, 1 pood was the smallest kettlebell around. This is the reason why you see many kettlebells sold in terms of kilograms, which is reflective of the pood...

Luvmyabs, I'm so glad to see your input! I was wondering about the wet blade vs. dry blade. I just ordered as-is with the wet blade and figured if I found that I needed the dry blade later, I can order it then. I'll probably have my hands full with the wet blade anyways. Thanks, FitGirl-ATX

I too just took the plunge and ordered a refurbished Vitmix 5200 from eBay. I've gone through 5 blenders in the past 3 years; all of that money adds up to the cost of a Vitamix. I started exploring raw foods eating in Dec/January, and loved it. I got alot of great results from changing my...

I was a little late performing this workout, but I completed it today. The time seemed to just fly by!! I enjoyed the creativity & flow of this workout. I must admit that after reading everyone's posts on Disc 3, I was very nervous about doing the workout, and (admittedly) procrastinated a bit...

Thanks everyone for your feedback and opinions. Alot of what was said made me recall other aspects of the workout that just weren't for me. However, I think that it's beautifully produced, and Cathe & crew do look absolutely flawless in the hard core series. I think that I'll stick to my...

Hi TeenyBug, Cathe posted a suggested cardio rotation for STS that is posted at the top of this forum. It was broken into 2 seperate posts due to length. Link to "STS CARDIO ROTATION SUGGESTIONS": http://www.thecathenation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=257971 Link to "PART TWO: STS CARDIO...

I used to own KickMax and actually sold it on eBay because I thought it wasn't challenging enough. However, I'm starting to wonder if I sold it prematurely. I see it's added into the STS cardio routine using some of the premixes. What are your thoughts on this DVD? Is it worth re-adding and...

Hi Cathe, I finished Disc #2 today. Initially I had some shoulder DOMS from Monday's workout, but as the workout progressed, I felt my body stretch and relax into the movements a bit more. This workout was quite enjoyable. I had to abbreviate the second set of chinups to 5 and was only able...

For what it's worth, I posted a review of several different brand kettlebells that I own and have tried on my blog last year. It's strictly my own opinion, but I've used lots of different brands of bells and thought some might find it informative...

Hi there, Good news: It's pretty easy to edit or delete a rotation that you've downloaded onto our calendar. Click on the "Rotations" icon. It should open up a "Rotation Wizard". The third option is to "Edit/Delete a rotation." The guide should take you step-by-step on what to do. I...
