    Post menopausal belly fat

    I never thought it would happen to me. I don't know why not, I have struggled with my weight all my life! In the past 6 or 7 years, I have pretty much "won the battle" with running, Cathe work outs and healthy eating and at 48 or so was looking good. I read about the fat that accumulates on...

    stability ball size

    In push/pull, what size stability ball are you using on the video. I am 5'4" and bought the one recommended for my height but mine looks smaller (I can tell just by comparing where the ball height is when you are doing inner thights, etc.) than the ones you (Cathe) are using? Maybe I just need...

    Middle body fat

    I have a question please for Cathe or anyone in this educated crowd.. I am 48 years old,post-menopausal (went through this pretty early), have fought "fat" pretty much all my life. In the last 4 years I have lost about 30 pounds and have toned up and lost inches by doing a combination of...

    new video suggestion

    I'd really like to see and "Ab and core" tape that has all your recent ab and core workouts on one tape, such as those from PUB, Boot camp, etc....planks and all. I have enjoyed the ab hits tape as I sometimes just put it in and do one or two of the ab workouts every day no matter what other...

    question for SNM or Cathe

    Any possibility that the new videos will be for individual sale or will they be sold as "a package". I would love to be able to purchase them individually! I don't do much step, etc at home as I run or go to a class for aerobics so end up buying things I don't use so I can get the strength...

    help with core work

    Can Cathe or somebody out there give me some suggestions? There are some of the more advanced core activities that I cannot do and I don't know how to modify to "work up to it". I have been trying to do prone planks, etc for longer periods of time each time to strengthen my core but would...

    stability ball questions

    I'm new to working out with "the ball" and have some questions. In Intensity Series, what size ball are you all using? I am about 5'4" and have a 55cm ball which was what was recommended for my height. The balls you all are using look bigger to me? Wasn't sure how tall you guys are and if...

    amount of weight used

    Cathe, I know you have been asked this before, just can't remember your answer or find the old posts.... When you say "I have -----pounds on my bar" are you referring to the total weight of your bar and your weights or just the weights. For example in Power Hour you say you have 40pounds on...

    Cathe is great!

    Cathe, just a personal story to let you know how wonderful your workout programs are. I have been working out with your weight videos (have all of them) for the past few years in addition to running and a healthy diet. I am 47 years old and have slowly (over the last 5 years) dropped about 25...

    forward lunge vs. backward lunge

    I'm wondering if there is any real difference in the muscles used/worked when doing forward lunges vs. backward lunges (i.e. in PS series)? I am not as adept at the forward lunges and feel like my form is not as good as with backward lunges...feel a little "clumsy" going forward... and wondered...

    Slow and heavy works!

    Cathe, thanks for slow and heavy. I just completed my first 4 week rotation (took me the first week to learn the routine) and did PS legs and was able to increase my weights on the squats and lunges an average of 20 pounds!!! THANKS for a great set of workouts!!!

    triceps kickbacks

    I am able to easily use 10 pound weights while doing triceps kickbacks as they are done in MIS (one arm at a time, one leg up on the bench). With the kickbacks in S&H, I can BARELY do the entire sequence of exercises with 5 pound weights. Is this because: 1. I was not doing them with proper form...

    strength training in bodymax

    Does the last half of bodymax with weights "count" as strength training? I know it's more endurance but also seems to be strength training and I wondered if those muscles should be rested the following day? Thanks.

    weights used in PS back/biceps/abd

    Cathe, could you tell me how much weight you are using in the various exercises on this tape. I generally fashion what I use according to what you use (not usually as heavy but relative) but am having trouble with this one. Not sure I'm challenging myself enough but don't want an injury either...
