Thanks, Sarah, I should have said that I know it's not possible to spot reduce.

Kathryn, This is intriguing. I think I need more protein in my diet and have never seen chocolate protein powder. Is it readily available? Caloric? Thanks!

Greetings Educated Crowd, Have you heard of Escape Your Shape? I took the quiz at the link below and it tells me I am a "spoon." This means I carry weight in my bottom half. Fine, I knew that. But then the recommendations to "escape" my shape baffle me. I am supposed to do cardio with light...

Sparrow, I am NOT child free and love being a mom, but agree with the posts that you should not feel some kind of guilt about your decision. It's terrible that you are being pressured about this personal issue. As to regrets, we would all do certain things differently I'm sure; that's...

Dianne, Welcome to the forum! Getting up early is tough and my joints really object sometimes (I'm 44) but I remind myself that if I don't get up I will have lost my chance to be alone with Cathe and the crew. Then it's off to the office and family stuff in the evenings. I HATE missing my...

RE: Need to loose and lower body Annette, Hello and welcome! Some people have 2 left feet but I believe I have 3! It took me a while to "get" Cathe's step routines. You can use the premixes to break things down until you can do it all the way through. At first, when Cathe would cue a...

Laurie, We are 3 for 3 with our kids for braces and they do make a great difference. Be sure to protect your investment by looking into a permanent retainer afterwards, so that your DD doesn't have her teeth "migrate" back when she's in her 20s. Most important, find a good orthodontist...

Great to read all your comments on a Monday. Maybe fitness people are a bit tough on themselves. I think we can all tell the difference between a need for a need for a change or slight rest, and a big old excuse to slack off! I've been nursing a tender back (left trapezius) and concentrating...

Ditto! Ditto! Ditto! My charge card is ready for this one!!

Thanks Colleen and Sparrow. It's nice to get perspective from people who have been there.

These aren't beach reading but they are worth every minute: Don Quixote by Cervantes Middlemarch by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)

Wise women please help! I've been pretty lethargic lately. I can get into a Cathe workout, but it takes a lot of effort to get ready to exercise and to warm up. Just had a check up so it's not medical. Not TTOM either. Is it time to take a few days off (I work out most days) or to ramp it up...

CandyK, Love your comment. Parents need to take a good look in the mirror, often! The thing is that allowing them to be themselves (with love and support) brings out the best, rather than the worst in them and in us as parents. Every stage has been great and I have teens now (boy and...

Vacation season is coming and I hope someone can post a good pre and post vacation rotation. I can usually get in some cardio (lots of walking) on vacation and will bring along my dynaband to do some resistance training, but I'd like to get in really great shape before going away for about 2...

Joanna, I. too, am sorry to hear this. Words cannot say. I have not read all the posts and this may be in one of them, but FIRST you should talk to an attorney, alone. You have to protect the future for yourself and your children, however this goes. I know it sounds callous, but your boys...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really like the idea of keeping the legs closer together in squats!

Hello Everyone, Which of Cathe's DVDs are best for the behind and saddlebags (if you've got them, I don't need to tell you what they are and where they are located!). I work out regularly with Cathe and eat clean almost all the time and have seen some improvement, but bathing suit season is...

This is great! I've tried to organize a file for my daughters and I (we are a 2 generation Cathe household!) and haven't gotten it together yet. Please send me a copy and THANK YOU!

How hard is the training in the "on" weeks? Can we assume that doing one of Cathe's DVDs every day is hard enough training? Thanks
