    Weight loss and cardio

    I am trying to lose 5-8 lbs. I work out six days per week and am following Weight Watchers. Right now I am doing a 3-week Cathe rotation using CTX, MIC, PS, PowerMax, and Interval Max. This first week consists of MIC, PS BBA, Interval Max, PS CST, Power Max, then on Satu MIC & PS LA. My...

    Okay Cathe - this is what we want...

    Hi Cathe, I LOVE all of your workouts because they are advanced and intense. Would you consider doing a medicine ball workout? I have a 2lb and 6lb Oof ball that don't get used very often. I disagree with the other posters about doing a stretch tape, unless it's tacked onto the end of an...

    Power Hour - is it similar to MIS?

    Lynn, I have both of these workouts, and Power Hour is more of an endurance type of workout than a strength workout. You use lower weights and the sets are a lot longer. I really dread the low-end static lunges in Power Hour - they go on forever! The nice thing about Power Hour is that it's...

    Stepping shoes....

    I, too, live in an apt. building with wood flooring, and I have a thin, dense, black rubber mat that I use for both hi/lo aerobics and step. It really absorbs much of the noise and I've never had any complaints from my downstairs neighbors. I bought mine at a sporting goods store a few years...

    Anyone ever try Sugar Busters program?

    Hi Marlene, Thanks for the feedback - I've ordered a used copy from amazon after reading so many good reviews. I hope it works as nicely for me as it did for you - I'll post after I've done it for a month or so. It must be hard to keep weight off while living in NO! I was there back in April...

    Gym Or Home Workouts?

    Home! I joined Crunch for two years and never ever go. I'm too lazy to walk a block to the gym! I prefer working out w/ Cathe or Firm tapes because I know I will get a time-efficient and total body cardio/weight workout in an hour or so. At the gym, I may get on the elliptical trainer...

    Anyone ever try Sugar Busters program?

    Hi, I'm thinking about buying the Sugar Busters book. I've always been a compulsive overeater and am wondering if this book can help. Any comments (good/bad) would be much appreciated - thanks in advance. Amy

    cardio kicks / kickboxing tape

    I just did this tape for the first time and my arms and shoulders have never been so sore! They're sore in a different way from what weights do to me - it feels like I've done a hard swimming workout or something. I was really surprised. Take it easy your first time so you don't end up as...

    Help for short bulky legs and long torso

    I'm 5'4", 130lbs, and would like to get back down to 120. I'd like to lose fat in my thighs w/o bulking them up. Is there a way to do this? I've read conflicting advice. Some people say step aerobics bulk up your legs; others say that heavy weights do. Still others say that low weights and...

    kbgal -- Weight Watchers ?

    I'm not Chris, but I do WW online, and for me, it's much more convenient than going to meetings and writing everything in a paper journal and looking up points in a booklet. Everything is online - the journal, your weight chart, the points calculator, everything. There is even an online chat...

    Weight Watchers and Cathe

    Kath, I'm at 132 now and would love to get down to 120. How long did this take you, if you don't mind me asking? I recently saw a nutritionist who told me the same thing you just did about protein at every meal to cut cravings and avoiding sugar/white flour. That really does work wonders...

    Weight Watchers and Cathe

    Daree, I just joined WW for the millionth time. I'm a lapsed lifetime member. I'm impressed that you're working out 6 times per week and still sticking with points. Do you find that you're hungry at all with all that working out? I've been doing The Firm for about 9 years, but I've just...

    power hour...what's it like?

    Cathe, I actually was talking about Power Hour - I just received my DVD last night, and this was my very first Cathe workout. I am used to the faster pace and lighter weights of the Firm workouts, so Power Hour did indeed feel slow and heavy to me! Looking forward to trying the other two on...

    power hour...what's it like?

    I just did Power Hour for the first time. It's my first Cathe workout; I've been doing the Firm for almost 10 years, and this is SERIOUS weight training. I felt like it was the type of workout you'd pay a trainer to give you. Slow and intense sets that totally exhaust each muscle group. I'm...

    Let's add some new fans!

    Hi, I'm a brand new Cathe fan waiting to get my first DVD (should arrive Monday!!!). I'm from Southern California but have been living in Manhattan for 8 years now, so I consider myself a NYer.

    Ballet videos?

    I've tried both New York City Ballet Workout and Balletbootcamp. I didn't really like the NYCB one 'cos the cueing was really bad. For example, they don't even tell you when to switch legs, so you have to keep your head craned to the screen. It doesn't have a cardio section either, but the...
