    tasty protein powders

    The other day at my workout, my trainer was bemoaning the fact that Myoplex no longer makes her protein powder of choice: chocolate cappuccino or something like that. There isn't much "shelf choice" around here where we live, and she isn't a website surfer girl, so she is feeling at a real loss...

    the "superdrink" acai

    Anyone heard of it? Used it? Just read a glowing article on it in People and wonder if any of us "real folks" can attest to its greatness. From Brazil, a berry drink full of vitamins, etc. etc. Sounds interesting, but before I go in search of it . . . any thoughts? Anna

    I've been going to a personal trainer for 6 weeks and LOVE HER! She is spending extra time with me above and beyond my 2 hours a week and I want to let her know how much I appreciate her and what she's doing for me. Any ideas on something appropriate? Thanks! Anna

    my biggest obstacle to 5-day-a-week cardio

    this could also be titled, "The dumbest reason not to exercise", but i had to "vent", I guess, and see if anyone has a way around this. Statement: I want/need to do cardio 5 X a week. If I sweat on Monday, I'm anxious to sweat again on Tuesday and if I work out on Tuesday, I feel a drive...

    road trippers! we want to hear behind the scenes scoop

    Someone talked about the best part of the time with Cathe and crew being all the behind the scenes info about the filming of the videos, etc. I (we?) want to hear more of that sort of thing! Loving the pictures, by the way. Anna

    speaking of Batman

    I read the posts about seeing the Batman movie (also a big fan of the mysterious man in the batsuit) and wondered if anyone read the article about the star in People magazine last week. He talked about how he dieted to lose ONE THIRD of his bodyweight, getting down to less than 100 lbs. to...

    Gotta ask about cellulite

    Any idea how I can reduce the cellulite on the backs of my thighs? I hydrate frequently, eat clean, use my Cathe videos faithfully, "fake" tan religiously (as I believe a tan covers a multitude of sins), but still . . . ugh :-/ anyone else spend the summer in capri pants? Anna

    bosu or rebounder?

    I only have enough money to add one of these elements to my workout room. Which do you think I would get more use/benefits from? Or is it just a matter of personal taste? Thanks for any suggestions. Anna

    everyday indications that Cathe has changed your life

    I'm talking about little things that happen outside your workout area that make you realize that what Cathe has done for you IN the workout room is impacting your life everywhere else, too. My example: I'm a high school teacher. Long story short, last week my students did a stick-puppet...

    weird question about muscle development

    Ok, been working out with Cathe seriously for almost a year. Tonight, when I was changing for bed, I noticed for the first time a muscle bulge on both my sides. Now that would normally really excite me, but this bulge doesn't appear to be in the right place. These are not the beautiful...

    anyone go to a chiropractor?

    I ask because of this: I have a "kink" in my right shoulder that I only notice when performing certain weight moves and when I reach under my left arm to put on deodorant. :-) I'm wondering if I might need to A. visit a chiropractor B. try massage C. stop putting deodorant under my left...

    a silly question and a confession

    Do you find that it motivates you or discourages you to watch yourself work out? I usually work out at night and am able to see myself in the sliding glass doors of my workout room. today, when I worked out in the afternoon, I discovered I missed being able to see if I was doing things right...

    ? for rebounder users

    How much foot movement can you safely do on the rebounder? how high do you actually jump on one? I recently read a thread about using the rebounder for some of Cathe's cardio to save the knees, and am wondering how much of her hi-lo, or the blast section of kickmax,for example, I could do...

    to the poster of the personal/portable blender

    I can't remember who originally gave us the head's up on this, but I have to say THANK YOU. Upon reading your message, I went post haste to Wal-mart, bought one and LOVE IT. It is going to be perfect for me to use at work and SO much handier to clean up than a full-size blender when I'm just...

    tonight's "24" Can it be???

    Did you watch the clips for next week? My husband is convinced that they're going to kill Jack. I know a few seasons ago, Kiefer argued that in order for the show to be more realistic, fans had to believe that Jack could die at any time just like anyone else .. .but . . . He can't! he just...

    The "24" faithful!

    are you still watching? I KNEW Tony would end up back in charge at CTU. Now I'm wondering what next week is all about when in the clip it shows Jack hanging onto some metal door for dear life as it . . . is about to explode? blast off? it was a very frustrating glimpse into next week...
