This week I was at the river with my sons and they were swinging from a rope into the river. It looked like fun, so I decided to try it. It WAS fun! It was so much fun that I did it about a dozen times. But the next day my arms, lats and abs were SO sore! I have never had DOMS like that...

Has anyone used ab slings for hanging knee/leg raises? Are they comfortable to use? I was thinking of getting a set, but before I spend the money I'd like to hear some opinions on them. Margie

"...what has also worked for me in incorporating cardio AND lifting in each land workout, rather than splitting these off into different days..." This statement caught my attention in the other post and I was curious as to why this has worked better for you as opposed to splitting up weights...

Hi Cathe, I'm a scheduled to have a hysterectomy on February 17th. I have 6 more weeks of working out before the surgery. How should I train? Heavy weights to build muscle, lighter weights to build endurance, or focus more on cardio? I currently do not have any restrictions and I own most...

What do you think of the latest low carb craze? I was reading the Sunday morning ads and was amazed at all the new food lines being advertised as "low carb". I haven't read the food labels yet, but I'm curious as to how wholesome these foods are. Don't we need carbs for energy? This just...

I just saw Shari's (wutheri) success story at fitnessvideofanatics.com and she looks great! http://www.fitnessvideofanatics.com/inspirations/Shari.slim You've been a real inspiration to me! Good Luck with the rest of your journey! Margie

There is a yummy recipe for Cucumber Tuna Boats on the Fitness Video Fanatics site. Anybody else have any great tuna recipes. I love tuna in the summer time! Margie

The past two weeks, we have been painting, cleaning, carpeting and moving rooms in our house. I have been moving furniture and boxes up and down the stairs and out to our storage area. Thanks to Cathe's strength videos - I feel so strong! My 17 year old son was impressed when I helped him...

I'm always searching for recipes on the internet. Anybody have some favorite websites for good low-fat, healthy recipes? Thanks! Margie

Tonight I went out looking for a weighted vest. I came home with a medicine ball, a stability ball, 2 - 5 lb plates, 2 - 10 lb plates, push-up bars (I don't know why - they just looked cool!), a 20 lb weighted vest and 6 packs of nonfat chocolate pudding! Yikes! I spent $147.00! Add that to...

I heard a few people mention using a weighted vest during S&H Legs. Where do you find them? What is the average price? Are they comfortable to wear? I'm struggling in S&H legs. I can't seem to use enough weight to thoroughly work my legs during this workout. Margie

Today when I was working out at a fitness center (I only go because I need to finish my one year contract) I was reading some information on the wall regarding anaerobic and aerobic workouts. They said that when you are in your aerobic zone, you are burning fat (I'm okay with that.) but when...

Hi! I'm new to the forum, but have been using Cathe's tapes for awhile - especially the ones with weights. I am curious as to why muscles sometimes shake and quiver after a workout or after I've moved onto another body part. Is this good or bad? Are my muscles telling me they need protein or...
