Hello! I subscribe to Cathe OnDemand and have enjoyed using it a great deal. I have used the database of recorded Cathe Live workouts extensively and, up until now, have never experienced a problem. In the past, I have always been able to view all of the recorded Cathe Live workouts in...

Hi everyone! I am, as a result of being inspired by Cathe and other folks that I know and respect, seriously thinking about working to obtain a fitness certification. Specifically, I would love to be able to help individuals on a one-to-one basis as well as to teach fitness classes. For anyone...

Hi ladies! I am again reaching out for some advice. I am ready to switch things up a bit and shift the focus from adding muscle and weight to "leaning out" and gaining some definition to show off the new muscles I have added over the past 7 months while not losing weight or any of the muscle I...

Hi everyone! I am curious to know how my fellow Cathletes handle their rest/recovery. It seems like most of you take at least 1 or 2 days off during the week. Why do you choose to take these days off and, do you take them off entirely or do you still do light activities such as a brisk walk or...

Hi! I love my Cathe OnDemand and am enjoying the new Workout Blender a lot. I was wondering if Premixes will be added for OnDemand subscribers and, if so, when will they be added? I am interested in doing a suggested Cathe rotation that uses Premixes but don't have access to them via OnDemand...

I am starting my last week of STS and I am already going through withdrawals (EEK!). This program has done more for me than I could begin to explain. 7 pounds of (mostly) mostly muscle added to my no-longer underweight body, muscles that I can actually SEE, more confidence and, man oh man, more...

Hi everyone! I am hoping the smart folks in this forum can help me figure something out. How would you classify the Plyo Legs workouts in Meso 3 of STS? Are they Hiit? Are they Metabolic Hiit? Strength? Just Metabolic? I know my heart rate gets into the anaerobic range during some of the workout...

Hi ladies! I can't believe it but I am actually on my last week of Meso 2 of STS. I have LOVED this mesocycle and can really see some nice little muscles popping out. :) This leads me to a question. In Meso 3, since it is designed to increase strength, is my understanding correct that I...

Hi everyone, I am back and looking for a little guidance. I'm exactly halfway through Meso 2 (I switched to the full 6 month STS program after 2 weeks of Meso 1) and am liking the results for the most part. I have added 4 pounds of weight, most of which is clearly muscle. As of the last week or...

I am hoping for a little guidance (reassurance?) here. I am on my second week of STS Meso 2 on the full 5 1/2 month rotation. This is the first time I have ever done a heavy weights program like this. On one hand, I am LOVING it! It is a serious challenge and it keeps me from doing the constant...

Have any of my fellow Cathletes discovered this gem of a Web blog? The author is a huge Cathe fan and does the most thorough and amazing reviews of all types of exercise DVDs, most of them higher intensity and for advanced (or intermediate-advanced) exercisers. She has helped me to amass quite a...

Hi fellow Cathletes! I have almost reached the stage in STS (6 1/2 month program) where Cathe is telling me to "take an active recovery week". Can someone enlighten me as to exactly what this is and what is entails? I typically workout 6 days per week: 3 days of STS and 3 days of Hiit, Metabolic...

Hi Cathe! I have just completed Week 2 of the STS series and am loving every second. I am, however, having a very hard time holding on to the heavy dumbbells during leg work. I am very small (5'3, 103 lbs) and have tiny hands. I use 2 35 lb dumbbells for deadlifts and 40s for squats but I have a...

Hi everyone! I'm reaching out to ask for help and advice from the many, many smart and fit people I see are here in this forum. I am an avid Cathe fan and have been busting my butt doing her workouts for a couple of years, primarily focusing on her Hiit, Metabolic, and Circuit Training workouts...

Hi Cathe! I was wondering if, at any point in the near future, there may be plans to add User's Guides to the available downloads for programs such a XTrain, LIS, etc.? I am a subscriber and LOVE being able to watch videos any time as well as do your live classes, however, I would really like...

Hi! I am beyond excited for the release of Ripped With Hiit and wondered if you can tell me if each of the Discs include HiiT Cardio or if some of them are mostly (or all) weights-focused. Thank you very much! Christin

Hi Cathe, I am a very fit (largely thanks to you!) and active 42 year old woman who works to maintain my weight and improve performace and strength. I am hoping you can speak to whether or not it is safe or advisable to do your metabolic or Hiit-type DVDs as many as 5-7 days per week? Is there...
