Hi Cathe, I was wondering, when you do weights, for example in the 4 day split, you typically start light with high reps then transition into heavier weights at lower reps. Is there a reason for doing it that way? I have a hunch that it's to warm up the muscle before plowing into the...

Hi all, yesterday was cone day at Ben and Jerry's and I tried the yellow cake batter ice cream with fudge swirled in--oh my! It was simply delicious! I'm salivating just thinking about it. Happy clean eating!

Hi, I am looking and doing my homework to buy a new car. I currently drive a Saturn with over 100,000 miles on it and well, it's days are numbered. So...I am considering the following: Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Prius, Mazda 3, Suzuki SX4, Hyundai Elantra and the Subaru Impreza. I've...

Okay, lucky me...I was on my way to teach a sculpting class at 6 AM and must have run over Pepe Le Peu's relative. Now my car stinks! I took it to the car wash immediately after my class and tried to spray it underneath, but I don't think it did any good. Do you think it will eventually go...

Hey Laura, I found this poster in a magazine and thought it fit your situation with the boss who has potty problems--quite well. http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Our-Aim-Posters_i1120449_.htm Hope you like it! Keli I think this may be a sign that I visit the forums too much!

Hey Cathe, I love the new workouts, and they have really inspired me to work on increasing the weights that I lift. I am wondering when purchasing a bar and weights is there anything in particular that I should consider in my decision for weights? I noticed that you list some websites that sell...

I love it when Cathe says that by the way. Just wanted to post to say I loved the high intensity step. The choreography is super fun, although it did take me a few pause, rewinds, to get combo 3. I kept using the wrong lead leg to shuffle so after the pivot and the jump kick I was ending up...

Hey all! Fun topic here (sarcasm), I just noticed that I have a plantar's wart (stupid locker rooms!) on the ball of my foot. I remember getting these as a kid and going through the dreadful freezing process, but I was wondering if any of you have heard of any new advances in treatment? I...

Hey Cathe-ites, I am a sporadic poster, but always enjoy reading the threads. Anyhow,I am in a bit of a bad situation. I was traveling from a conference on the East coast back to the West and suffering from sleep deprivation (excuses, excuses) and needed to take a taxi from the airport back to...

So here is my question...why don't the dress shoe makers and designers or cobblers out there make a size 10.5 shoe? I see size 10 and a size 11 but no 10.5, yet all of the smaller sizes come in half sizes. For some strange reason this only applies to dress shoes. Okay...I'm done whining...

Hi Cathe, I love the new workouts! I was wondering...I teach a step class and incorporate a lot of power moves,lunges and quick feet exercises. The problem is that I have a client who always uses three risers and she is maybe 5'7". Her form is always a little off--she sort of hinges...

Okay Cathe-ites, this is not a fitness question but what would you do if you lost your cell phone, you call your number, a person answers, they make sure you are the owner of the phone by asking for a description of the phone, they offer to meet you in a public place and give you their name...

Has anyone tried these? They are a little pricey, but I wonder if they deliver? The brands I saw on Sephora are: per fekt, channel, and ERA. Just curious. Resa

Hi! I have just found the greatest pair of contact lenses ever! I have tried soft, gas-perm (ouch), the list goes on, and recently tried Bausch & Lomb PureVision Toric. They are so comfortable! I have a weak astigmatism and usually didn't even bother getting contact lenses that corrected for...

After doing the muscle endurance (I hope that's the name) workout, I have a little doms as a gift from doing the workout. Glad Cathe is so generous, anyway...I was wondering, how long do you all rest before doing weights again. Like should I jump right in and do the workout again with the same...

I remember seeing a post titled "turbo jam" awhile back, but I thought it was a Cathe video. Last night, I saw an info-mercial and saw that it is taught by Chelene somebody. It looks like a Billy Blanks inspired workout. Has anyone tried it? If yes, is it as tough as Cathe? Just...

Hi Cathe! I saw a DVD made from your FIT TV show called "Core Strength" and I was wondering how it would compare to the DVD you sell on this site. I love all of your workouts, and I think your workouts have actually helped me improve my jogging speed...which is a feat not easily accomplished...

Yesterday, I went on a little shopping excursion. I was hoping to find a Trader Joe's grocery store, but somehow ended up at a mall instead. I just moved to the Bay area so I am somewhat directionally challenged. Anyhow, as I was window shopping my eyes fell upon Cathe! The Discovery Store...

Having just gotten back from an overseas trip, my days and nights are a little turned around and my appetite is out of control. I had a major binge day of m&m's (nearly a whole bag), other chocolates and trail mix between healthy salads. I did manage to workout, but I feel like such a slug for...

Hey, I was jogging today, doing my normal 4 mile jog, when I was about 2/3 of the way through I just didn't have the energy to finish so I walked. I had a breakfast before with my high fiber cereal and I drank some sips of water beforehand as well, but other than the temperature which was about...
