Bump.

Hi Cathe and all you Cathe fans out there. I've seen this in the gym and on some exercise videos so I wanted to know if there is any benefit to doing pulses at the end of a set of an exercise. For example, after doing a set of squats, do one more squat but only go half way up (thus, a pulse) and...

Hi Nancy, Thanks for the reply. When you say "make sure that your cardio is targeting fat, and not muscle," how exactly do you do that?

Still waiting. I posted the same question in the Open Discussion forum. Thanks for the suggestion, Kathryn. Hopefully someone will have some insight to this question that still haunts me. :o

Hi everyone! I posted this question in hopes of having Cathe answer it, but so far no response. So I took someone's advice and am posting the same question here and maybe someone can help. My question is this: I am 5'6" and weigh 130 lbs. I do 3 days of cardio, 2 days of full body weight...

Thanks for bumping, guys. I really hope Cathe answers this question that's been haunting me. The more I research this, the more confused I get. Please, Cathe, help set me straight!

Hi Cathe and all of you Cathe fans. My question is this: I am 5'6" and weigh 130 lbs. I do 3 days of cardio, 2 days of full body weight training and 1 day pilates. I eat 1800 calories a day. I still have fat around my torso and would like to decrease that so I'm nice and trim. I would also...

I have often heard of people taking breaks from the gym. Some will take a week off after every 4 weeks. Others will take a week off after every 2-3 months. I would say do what your body is asking you to do. If you feel tired, unmotivated, or haven't taken a break since you started, then go for...

HTH, thanks for your reply and lots of info. The detox I was considering was a relative detox consisting of fresh, raw fruits and veggies; juices made from fresh fruits and veggies, and whole grains. I was thinking about also using the sauna room at my gym to sweat out some of the toxins as...

Hi Cathe and all of you Cathe fans out there. Have you ever done a detox diet? If so, what did it consist of (fasting or fruit/veggie type), how long did you do it for, did you continue to workout while detoxing, would you recommend it? I'm asking because I'm considering doing a 3-5 day detox...

You're right! :7 I'll post my questions there and see what kind of responses I get. Thanks.

Hi Cathe, Now that I've lost 50 pounds, I've really stepped up my weight training and have begun to do more interval type cardio. My question is, do you have any suggestions for my post workout meal? I usually eat breakfast, workout, come home, drink a protein shake, and an hour later eat...

It's dragon_girl back with an update. I talked to my trainer and we decided to change a few things that will hopefully boost my body past this spare tire thing. First, I'm changing the order that I'm doing my workout from cardio then weight training to weight training then cardio. Second, I'm...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm meeting with my trainer today to discuss my routine and I'll share with her the comments from this forum. I'll let you know what she said. dragon_girl

I have been working out at a gym for 9 months with a personal trainer and have lost 50 pounds. I do weight training 2 times a week for 1 hour and cardio 3 times a week for 45 minutes and my caloric intake is 1500 calories a day. Now that I have reached my target weight of 130 pounds (I am 5'...
