    Diet for distance running?

    Hi Everyone, I've seen some threads here about distance running lately and I've decided I'd like to train for a 1/2 marathon. I've received no running instruction or anything but started running in March. Before that I've done Cathe's workouts 5-6x a week for about 2 years. I have a...

    Interval training question

    Hi Cathe, I know it is not recommended to do an interval workout such as Imax or Imax 2 more than 2-3x a week (if that much), with 2 days of non-interval training in between. However, I'm a little fuzzy as to which other cardio workouts are classified as interval workouts. For example, Boot...

    Iliotibial band stretch 2 (Imax2)

    Hi Cathe and Everyone! First I want to say that I've done all the new Intensity Series workouts except for Muscle Endurance and wanted to commend Cathe and the crew for really outdoing themselves and helping me to push my fitness regime to the next level! I love ALL the workouts so far...

    How many weeks for 1 rotation?

    Hi Cathe and Educated Crowd, I feel like my exercise routine is going through a bit of a slump and is currently haphazard at best. I work out for around 7 hours a week, but haven’t given any one rotation long enough to know whether or not my body responds well to it. I get bored easily so am...

    Exercise and fertility question

    Hi, I was just wondering if any of you had experienced fertility issues related to too much/too intense exercise. I have been exercising at an advanced level for about 2.5 years, 7 hours a week. I typically do an equal mix of cardio and weights. I have never modified cardio workouts and...

    Weird bodily happenings....

    Hi everyone, I have been experiencing some strange symptoms lately, unlike anything I've ever experienced before, so I thought I would ask if anyone else has experienced these things. In the back of my mind, I'm wondering if I'm pregnant, though it's way too early to tell (AF not due for...

    How many weeks CTX?

    Hi Everyone and Cathe, Hopefully this will be a simple question, but I was wondering how many weeks in a row you are supposed to do the CTX series. I've done 3 weeks and I already see a noticible difference in my upper body muscle definition. I wonder if there is a certain number of weeks...

    Wedding dress woes (big chest & lats)...

    Hi Cathe or anyone else who wants to jump in and help. I am almost to the point of desperation. I'm getting married on 02/02 (7 weeks and 4 days away) and I need to lose between 10 and 15 pounds before then to fit into my dress. I had bought my dress about 8 months ago before I started doing...

    Hi Cathe - weak wrist & hand question

    Hi Cathe and everyone else on this forum! I hope you all are well. Anyway, whenever I do pushups or bench presses, I experience pain in my wrists. Usually the limitations in my strength result from this pain. I have tried modifying pushups by using hexagonal dumbbells to allow my wrists to...

    Reverse flies vs. the other things

    Okay, so I can't remember the name of the exercise where you stand with your back flat (like a table top), arms straight, and then raise them toward the rear to work the rear delts. I was just wondering if these exercises (as seen in the Legs & Shoulders Slow & Heavy workout) are more effective...

    Pre-pregnancy preparation advice?

    Hi everyone, First I just wanted to say that I am a fairly recent Cathe fan; a couple of months ago I bought BodyMax and have followed up with MIS, MIC, Cardio Kicks, Power Hour, Circuit Max, and the Wedding Video. I love them all, and am especially amused by the Wedding Video because I'm...

    No definition in arms

    Dear Cathe (or whoever feels like chiming in), I am new to this forum. I have been working out with aerobics and weights for 12 years on and off and have never achieved the sculpted look in my arms that I work for. I currently do upper body workouts like those in MIS or BodyMax 2-3x a week...
