You should post this in the open forum to get more answers. I just bought my first pair of Ryka's and I ordered my regular size and they fit fine. I didn't know about the 1/2 size up. I will say they feel great when I work out and I can definately jump higher.

I just wanted to say thanks! I preordered all your new DVD's and love them. Last night I had less time than usual and wanted to do cardio so I was going to just replay the cardio segment from BodyMax 2 twice. I wasn't quite ready yet, I was waiting for my husband to help with the kids, so I...

I have gained about 10 lbs in two months due to not exercising as much and eating a lot more. I think this week I have gotten back on track with eating but I am thinking I need to make a change in my routine. I try to do 2 days cardio, 1 full body weights, 2 days cardio and one day off. I am...

Thanks for reply! I usually do 2 days in a row of step then one day of full body weight training, then 2 days with step then one day off. I will change it up, I need to anyway, I have hit a plateau. I am not too fond of kickboxing but it seems to be the only other thing Cathe offers besides...

I have been working out regularly for three years now. I do step and weight lifting five times a week. I moved my workout "room" to our basement which is cement with carpet and padding. Recently I noticed that my knees ache? They are not really hurting during working out but I can "feel"...

I was looking at treadmills but does any one own an elliptical machine or use one regularly that they would recommend? I would only use it as an addition to Cathe about one or two times a week. I don't want to spend a fortune but I don't want to waste my money on something bad either. Thanks...

Kimbra, These things help motivate me: 1- I don't have to take two showers in one day. 2- I eat better because I feel like I don't want to waste the calories after having burned them off. 3- I don't waste time with my family, I can do fun things in the evenings with them. 4- I have...

Ok, I know that several people have asked about treadmills. I use it supplement my Cathe workouts. Usually one to two times a week depending on my mood. I am looking at the Smooth 5.25 for $999 this week. Any opinions or advice on a different model? Thanks Vicky

I know that we don't workout only to look good but we do it for our health as well. In spite of that, I was wondering which form of weight lifting gives better definition and visual results. I like the cut look but not the bulky look, if that makes sense. Which type of weight lifting should I...

I have most of the workouts in this rotation but I am looking for ideas on subing for the following workouts: Bootcamp - Step, Jump and Pump - Cardio Kicks - Any ideas are appreciated. Also, how do you do the squat thrust climber??? mentioned on Sat of the first week? Thanks! Vicky

Thanks Julie, I never looked at it that way. That really makes sense. Vicky

Hi everyone! TK- congrats on the lb and thanks for making me laugh... food pushers! I have those here in my office and they love to tempt me. I had a sort of falling off the wagon that I wrote about last week but on Sun I sat down and sorted out my meal ideas. I can exercise with no...

Cathe, I am doing one of your rotations for the first time. I noticed for two weeks you take Fri off and then the next two weeks its Wed's off. Does a person need to rotate their day off to keep the body guessing and working hard? Prior to this rotation I always took Sundays off. Also, I do...

Hi everyone, I am hanging my head in shame! I didn't survive Thanksgiving. I had the best of intensions but blew it! I don't think it was Thanksgiving so much as the gloomy weather for four days that made me eat non-stop. I got up the nerve to get on the scale today and I gained 2 1/2...

My DH doesn't eat clean either and to add to it I have two little boys. They love Mac and Cheese and PBJ etc. My DH always cooks because he loves it and is home an hour before me. I used to do Low Carb and he was wonderful about making chicken and veggies for me but that has changed. I...

Hi TK and everyone! I was just considering starting a thread since I didn't see one. TK - I see you have a new goal. I am so inspired by you. If I made it to my 10lb goal and readjusted to add 6 more I think I would cry. I know that BFFM says to continue making goals though. Last...

I need some help with some substitutions. What do I replace the following with: Hard Core Legs - Step, Jump and Pump - Legs and Glutes, CTX Upperbody - Bootcamp - I have several tapes and DVD's so just give me ideas and I will see if I have those tapes. Any help would be apprecited...

I just bought some New Balance Running shoes and I do mostly step. I didn't realize how bad my old shoes were until I got these. It seems like I can jump higher. My feet and knees were bothering me every once in a while but now they don't hurt at all. What a difference! Vicky

Hi everyone! This week is the week before TTOM and I want to eat everything in sight! I know this is the same nasty cycle I get into. I was down to my lowest BF% yet and then this week hit. Yesterday and today I didn't exercise because I have a touch of the flu. I am still trying to eat a...

Hi all! Way to go TK!! I am so excited for you. It is so awesome to meet our goals. Anne - sorry to hear about the knees. I just cringe at the thought of an injury that would slow me down. Today is my 30th birthday. No big deal except my BF% went down because of my age changing. I...
