Thank you too 40, I didn't see your reply until after my post went through. Maybe I will just do some Leslie tapes and still do Cathe. Then go back to the more strenuous stuff.

NYC & Maximus - Thank you for the encouragement. I notice that my body seemed to shape up well when I do extra workouts plus the weights but it just does not seem to be moving fast enough. Like I am seeing that my legs are getting a little smaller but I am not dropping lbs. like my cousin & mom...

I have been trying to maintain a schedule of 6 day a week 45min-1 hour workouts with three of those days being double workouts and two days are upper body - different muscles and two days are lower body different muscles. But this week I just feel drained. I really want to lose as much as I can...

I wanted to thank all of you for your responses. Two things: Since Cathe is more Advanced Intermediate/Advanced I don't think I would be able to do her rotation yet that is something I would have to build up to. I notice many of those here on the board that purchase her DVDs/Videos are already...

I have a bet with my mother and cousin to lose 20lbs in 12 weeks starting next week before our Memorial day vacation. I would of course like to do this in a healthy way but consistenly lose 2 lbs. a week of fat (not muscle) I currently do 30 minutes a day of cardio with alternate days of...

Thank you Cathe! I appreciate your quick response. As you get more in shape, how many days and length of time should you put into weight training? I don't know if I ever will be as good as you, but I would like to maintain a good schedule to build on. BTW, I just recently bought Pyramid Upper...

In Oprah's new Boot Camp training, for 12 weeks if you read it closely you are supposed to weight train for 20 minutes 6 days a week. Is that safe? And can you lose weight AND build muscle by weight training your body everyday as long as you don't do the same muscle groups? I always...

Should pear shapes only do squats/lunges with 5# dumbells? Can you progress up in weight poundage for your legs as your body gets used to the weight? I have read that you should not do heavy weights for leg work and save the heavy weights for upper body work. So what is the appropriate maximum...

Hi Cathe, I am a lurker on several boards and wanted to see if I could get a definitive answer for this question please. I know the guideline to maintain health is 30 minutes a day. 60 minutes for weight loss. But I have read on another board that if you are doing cardio 30 minutes a day 5-6...

RE: Not dumb at all . . . Man compared to you all, I feel like my like my little 17lbs. are nothing! ;) I think I may try lifting heavier though and pray I don't bulk out.

Thanks Pinky, I guess I just want to make sure that I am doing enough without going overboard and getting bulkier. I wish there was some type of guideline of what is moderate weight.

I hope this is not too dumb a question..." Just in case Cathe is not able to get to my ? I posted in her forum If anyone could help me with answer I would appreciate it. Thanks I hope this is not too stupid a question: I have read in a recent M&F Hers that if you want to lose the fat...

I have read in a recent M&F Hers that if you want to lose the fat in your legs but at the same time not bulk up, you should use a "moderate weight" I had been using a 17lb barbell but felt that my legs while getting stronger were not really getting leaner. And that is my biggest problem area (I...

Thanks to all of you for your input. I am going to try Weights & Cardio and let you know how I do with it. Maybe one of these days I will graduate to Circuit Max. ;-)

I have been looking at the video clips for Cathe's videos and am a little intimidated by the intensity and the somewhat lack of cueing. I kind of get the feeling that if you already don't know her moves, then you will have to watch the tape a couple of times to get the hang of it. Which...
