    Please consider having one taller exerciser . . .

    In several weight workouts I've noticed that I can't seem to keep up with Cathe's speed of movement during weight lifting. I used to think it was just because I was so much weaker than she is. Sometimes she completes the whole movement while I'm just getting to the guts of it (BB bicep...

    Hey, Ecto Chicks

    Angela, I totally missed your post or I would have responded! I'd be happy to return to ecto-posting maybe not once a week but every other would be good. How are we all? Briee, I need details on the "stability ball":+ . I bet you look so cute. I miss hearing what the "undermuscled...

    Does anyone have Fibromyalgia?

    It would appear as though I have it. I've got a constant aching throb through the shoulders/upper back. It's possible that it's Chronic Myofascial pain, too. Please let me know how you cope with this and how exercise affects you. How long does a flare-up seem to last? I really am kind...

    Twisted Ankle! ARRRGH! Need re-hab

    Thursday I was out Cross country skiing at the local golf course and managed to twist (sounds nicer than sprain) my ankle quite badly. From I've read, it's a level 3 sprain with torn ligaments. (**Warning** don't read on if you have a weak stomach)-I know that because of the level of pain...

    How many aerobic minutes in BC?

    Cathe, I'm wondering how many aerobic minutes are in Boot Camp (some are anaerobic for me). Because according to the description, it would be eight minutes of cardio. Is that right? Does the leg work factor in as aerobic? I'm wondering if I should add a few more minutes of cardio to this...

    PUB 1 part per day?

    Cathe, I'm wondering if PUB lends itself to a one part per day program? I noticed that the upper body segments are 6-8 minutes long and I am doing one part per day with S&H right now. 6-8 minutes doesn't sound like enough. Do you forsee any problem with doing each segment twice in the same...

    Another Bun and Thigh Rocker ?

    All right Honeybunch, Francine and all others! You naughty girls have gotten me to the point where I seriously need to consider buying a BTR. But, I've got a couple of burning questions: Is this a weight machine that can double as cardio machine like that Healthrider thingie? Space is...

    PUB 1 part per day?

    Is anyone currently using Pyramid Upper Body for a one part per day workout (ie: Monday-chest, Tuesday-back, etc.)? If so please let me know how it fits in that perspective. I'm guessing the amount of time she spends on each part must be 10-12 minutes? Is that long/intense enough for one...

    Recommendation for (in)stability ball brand

    Okay, got the Living Arts Stability ball at Target, $25.00. Came with it's own little hand pump. Yay! I blew it up with the neat little hand pump. This took me a good half hour. I put the ball aside for a few weeks of dvd anticipation and it's lost a good deal of air. Is this how these...

    Ecto-chick check 1/13/03

    Hey ecto's what happened?! We miss our Angela, don't we . . . :'( I have just re-read Cathe's "how I got back in shape after baby #2" post uner the Intensity Series info and I'm sorta copying her. (Actually, she's copying me, but she did it first.) But, what I have on deck until the DVD's...

    SNM-Just Curious . . .

    I'm wondering how many dvd's you're printing on this first batch for Intensity Series release and how many VHS tapes? OR, if this is easier, how many pre-sale orders you have to fulfill on each. Just curious, I keep wondering how big Cathe's audience is and how much it's grown. Thanks for...

    Ectomorph ? for Maribeth

    Hey ectomorph, I've got to pick your brain on something. Now, seeing how you described yourself as a potential "marshmallow with four toothpicks in it" I must tell you we're in the same boat. I know that you have prescribed a heavy, low rep/lighter, high rep weight workout (spread over four...

    SNM RE: IMPORTANT NEED YOUR FEEDBACK THREAD

    Hi SNM, I know you all are busy, but can you get this thread off of here? I don't think Cathe wants anymore suggestions for the workouts she is all ready in the middle of filming. And for posters: She has a place for suggestions on the home page. That would be great for the NEXT batch of...

    Sport Specific Weight Training Programs for Swimmers

    Hi Educated Crowd! I've got three, count'em, three sons on the HS swim team this year. (The funny part is I, THEIR MOTHER, can't swim a stroke other than "dog paddle".) I'm wondering if there's a website that offers conditioning/weight training programs for competitive swimmers? I've tried...

    Amount of muscle one can gain in a year.

    Maribeth, are you out there? (Have fun on that cruise, btw!) How many pounds of muscle can a female body put on in one year? (Also I'm betting there is no accurate way to confirm your "scale findings" is there?) I read in M&F Her's (Lovena Stamatiou-Tuley, p. 120 paragraph 4) how in one...

    Tony Hawk's BoomBoom HuckJam!

    Yes, I feel absolutely ridiculous using the term: Boom Boom HuckJam, but we'll get past that. I bought tickets to this for my teenage son and I. It's a skateboard/dirt bike event that's touring the US currently. I must say I am looking forward to seeing it. The feats these kids perform on...

    Periomenopause-insomnia update

    LAST EDITED ON Oct-09-02 AT 11:51AM (Est)[p]I've made an amazing discovery. I've found that if I greatly increase my soy intake, I can reduce the level of sleeplessness I experience the week before TTOTM. I was using valerian root, it helped, but earlier this week I noticed I was waking up at...

    Question for my "Bud", Aquajock

    Hey Annette, Hope you don't mind me asking you this (too late if you do) but, I know for a fact that you are looking pretty buff. Yes, Ladies and gentlemen, Annette has the coveted "Cathe Arms". What I'd like to pick your intelligent brain about is this: How much actual time do you spend...
