Is it possible to get too much sleep? I quit my job a few weeks ago so I can sleep in late and don't have a lot to do. I'm naturally a night person, so I can easily stay up late. I'll be up till 2am (sometimes 3!) and sleep till 11am or noon. Then, like today, I'll take a nap for 45 mins! I have...

1. I went to a nutritionist a month ago and since I'm in my 20s, she wants me to get more calcium. Since I dislike yogurt and ice cream doesn't count :( , I turned to milk. I like choc milk, but was wondering if this is too high in calories? I have Nesquick, which I know if meant for kids, but...

For those of you who watched the Oscars (or at least the "red-carpet"), I'm constantly amazed at how thin stars can get. I wonder how they do it- even if I dieted and worked out hard, I still don't think I could get to the point where the bones in my back were visible- and I'm small framed to...

I haven't done cardio for 3 weeks now because of a minor foot injury. I should be ok to exercise soon though. I have lifted *some* weights to keep up my strength though. My question is: I haven't changed my eating plan at all- I know I should've cut back on junk and calories, but I didn't. I...

Does anyone have the "yoga booty ballet" tape? If so, how is it? I'm looking for a tape that'll tone (especially my butt), but isn't full of typical weighted moves, like lunges and squats. Something that I would want to do on a lazy afternoon. Thanks!

What is the benefit of cutting back on things like sugar and flour? (I say cutting back because I won't ever cut it out entirely) Would it be at all beneficial to cut back on them during the week, but be more lenient on weekends? I ask this because at work I don't snack as much on junk...

I have 2 questions: 1. I tried to eat better than usual (definately not perfect, but I usually have lots more sugar and junk) but got very bloated (I looked pregnant!- and it's not PMS). Why? How do I prevent this? What I ate throughout the day (plus water): -instant oatmeal -1/2 cup dry...

My current rotation has me at the gym, using machines, doing 1 bodypart a week. I'd like to add a full-body day too. Would it be ok to do a Cathe strength tape (I have MIS & PS) on the weekends, or should I head to the gym and do the weight machines? I'm just starting to be consistent, so I'm...

Hi, I'm going to get the S&H DVDs, plus I just joined a gym... I was wondering how I can incorporate a rotation/plan with the following choices I have: S&H DVDs weight machines (at gym) toning classes (at gym) If I do the machines or classes, I'll probably want to do a full-body toning since...

I have been doing a Cathe upper body video with med-heavy weights(like MIS or the PS tapes) once a week, plus another easier tape or gym machines once a week for months. I still have very little muscle tone! If I flex in the mirror in odd positions I can see it, but I want to see it in everyday...

During these few weeks around the holidays, I usually cut back on my workouts. When I do have time, say 3 hours a week, should I focus more on weights or cardio? Thanks

I just did my Bootcamp video with Mindy Mylrea, and she has you do pinwheel lunges (lunge to front, corner, side, back) with a bodybar. It feels somewhat awkward (maybe because I've never done them)- are they safe to do? I don't even really feel anything since we move onto the next position...

Hi, I love Cathe videos (and Gin Miller), but am looking for a new face to workout with every once in a while. I always hear about the Firm, but there are so many of them that I have no clue which ones are advanced. So, could anyone tell me which give a great cardio (or cardio/strength) workout...

Is the kind of pizza you get in pizza shops (thin crust- not grasy like Pizza Hut) all that unhealthy? For some reason, I always thought it wasn't too bad since it has protein, carbs, fat, calcium, etc. But everyone makes a big deal about it being jumk food. Any opinions?

I'm a petite 22 yr old- 5ft, 100lbs, small boned but muscular legs. When I run during the week, I usually only do it 2 days in a row, then take a day off before I run again (I do step on weekends) because I feel like my legs get tight- I do yoga after each run though. My friend, on the...

I started doing my weight training and cardio in the same workout (not intervals). I jog 5 mins to the gym (on college campus), do weights for about 20 mins, then go out and run again for about 15-20 mins. I feel like I get a good workout, but I know I'm not running as long as I normally would...

I'm so amazed at how thin some celebs are! I just saw some photos of Whitney Houston, and she looks like she's all bones. How do these celebs get so thin? They look ok 1 day, then a month later, they're totally different. If I don't eat, I get tired- how can they exercise so much and eat so...

I'm in college and, of course, the weight seems to be coming on a tad since I often eat junk instead of "real" meals, and I cut a day off my workout schedule (down to 3 cardio, 2 toning days). Anyway, my question is about walking... If I walk to class (20 mins each way) instead of driving, will...

I have 1 month until I go back to college. My goal for the summer WAS to lose the stubborn fat on my stomach, and the layer of flab gained on my butt and thighs over the past year. I'd say losing about 8lbs would be good (I just need to lose more fat- I'm sure I'm toned underneath the fat)...

I was wondering if anyone knows whether it's possible to get headaches from eating too much sugar? For 2 days this week, I've had to get up early for appointments. Then I'd take a nap. When I get up again, I'm still tired, so instead of cooking a meal, I'll heat up a slice of pizza and just...
