well, after trying just about everything...i'm looking for something that is 'lifestyle oriented'. i've heard some buzz about clean eating and ww's , here on cathe's board..was hoping for some general info re: the program from some "cathe-ite ww veterans" ;) i went to the ww site, but it...

hi educated crowd!!! :D okay, this is a question for your 'weight mavens' out there.. *wink* i'm thinking of trying the 'ol 'light weights/high reps' ala slim series approach for weights. (i don't want to build anymore muscle, just want to get tighter and more defined.) now, with...

okay, i'm thinking of caving and trying "one" of the slim series tapes to see if i can tolerate the repetition/boredom factor i've heard so much about. :P i'm hoping that the higher reps/lower weight technique will do the trick for me. i want to primarily focus on toning the upper body...

hi all, this may seem like a stupid question, but just wanted to clarify that it's okay to do Low Impact Step on an 8" step. cathe says at the beginning of the workout, to be sure to NOT do it above 6". i wasn't sure if that was because the video was being directed to the...

okay, i'm wondering if this is just a weird coincidence or if it's possible that power yoga could REALLY and truly be detoxifiying my body??? here's the scoop...up to now i've been doing bryan kest's power yoga..love it, and everytime i do it, i find my skin looks better! great, glowing...

hi everybody... well, i've been really getting into yoga and pilates of late..and like it..BUT...i've noticed that although i'm pretty flexible in my lower body, my UPPER BODY is really tight. :o i do the basic tricep, bicep, delt stretches along w/ good 'ol downward facing dog to stretch my...
