I'm a morning exerciser -- but a very reluctant one. It's just the only time of the day when I can do it. I find that actually getting out of bed is the most difficult part. Then I drink my coffee and I typically like to "transition" for about a half hour after I wake up. Once I start my video...

Curious whether anyone has tried or regularly uses SAMe for depression. Love to know if it "works." --Caroline

I've been enjoying their iTread workouts and downloaded the iBallet workout. I'm curious to find out if anyone has tried any of their iSculpt programs. If not, if anyone can recommend a sculpting or free-weight iPod workout, I'm all ears! Thanks! Caroline

These are gaining popularity, as I'm sure you know. And the field is wide open for someone of your caliber to "own it!" Something to contemplate during your recovery, perhaps? -Caroline

I have varicose veins on one leg. One vascular surgeon said I could have the vein stripped; the other offers valve "repairs" on the leaky veins. Stripping is an out-patient surgery done with general anesthesia. The valve repair is an in-office procedure with local. It's strictly a cosmetic...

Hello educated crowd, I am a longtime Cathe fan and have never had any trouble with motivation to exercise until I started working full time. I used to be able to get up and exercise first thing in the morning, but I got off track over the holidays and am having a really hard time getting...

Hi Cathe, I'm curious to know what you tell people who you've just met what you do for a living. To all of us Cathe Fans you are a Big Stah, but to people like your kids' teachers or the grocery-store checkers you're just a "normal" person. Do you find that there's a shock-and-awe reaction when...

I need a rotation that combines gym workouts on some days and Cathe workouts on other days. I love my Cathe workouts - in fact, I prefer them to the gym - but I work from home and find that I just need to get out of the house sometimes. Plus, I like using heavier weights on the machines and find...

I have been thinking about getting a Crossbow and I've read dozens of reviews (including a few opinions from people on this site). But the thing I don't really get is why buy a Crossbow for $499 when you can buy a universal-type multi-gym with weights for about the same money? Is it because the...

AmyFit's post about her pre-competition diet started me seriously thinking about doing protein shakes, which I once scorned. In fact, I bought some mix tonight and had a glass. I decided on whey protein for no good reason except I always see it advertised in the bodybuilder magazines. Does...

Caroline Knorr I'm thinking of doing Pyramid Lower Body and Pyramid Upper Body on Saturday and taking a rest day on Sunday. Has anyone done these tapes one after another? Was it OK, or am I being overzealous? I have done each tape one time, but on different days. I figure it'll take about 1 1/2...

Caroline Knorr Just wondering if anyone has ever been diagnosed with anemia or knows someone who was. I have been extremely tired, queasy, cold, and dizzy. I've had to skip workouts because of the nausea and last week I felt like passing out after two workouts. I am just not feeling myself at...

Caroline Knorr I've been trying to mentally prepare myself to be a morning exerciser - I mean, a get-up and do-it at 6:00 a.m. person and today, I finally did it, with BodyMax no less (OK, I didn't do the upper-body part and I started at 6:30). I know there's been a lot of talk on the boards...

Caroline Knorr Hi Cathe (and educated crowd), Here's my dilemma: I love my Cathe tapes, but I also need the variety and motivation of gym workouts using weight machines. My main fitness goal is to increase strength, build up my upper body, and reduce the jiggle in the glutes. I like to do two or...

Caroline Knorr It's true. I've been wanting to try this experiment for a long time now. Last week, I had a head cold and didn't feel like doing cardio, but somehow I managed to lift every day with a split routine alternating lower body and upper body workouts. This week, I just did Power Hour on...

Caroline Knorr That's the compliment I got today at the gym while adjusting the bar on the hamstring curl machine. I just felt so incredibly proud of myself because I have really been focusing on upper-body strength and it was just such a pleasure to be noticed! (And of course, I was like, "oh...

Caroline Knorr I need some advice on strength-training, especially my legs. I am really working on upping my full-body weight workouts to three times a week. I find that my legs are extremely stubborn and respond best to the high-intensity, high-rep workouts like Leaner Legs. My question is, if...

Caroline Knorr OK, OK, you Powerstrikers really got my attention there, but I need some more information before I pre-order Millennium 3. I have to say, I so rarely do any non-Cathe videos. I was thinking about buying CardioKicks - should I buy Powerstrike instead? Do you Powerstrike...

Caroline Knorr Hi everyone, I just had to write and share this incredible recipe with you all. I found it in USA Weekend (the magazine that comes with the Sunday paper) of all places. I substituted pecans for pine nuts and it came out great. You will not believe how awesome this dish is - and...
