    supplements

    thanks, again, Kristinam! Thanks so much for the kind words. Since I've had cellulite since I was about 20, and I'm 31 now, I'm not expecting any miracles. My frustration lies in that I consider myself in great shape, better now than 10 years ago, and it seems like this stuff won't budge...

    supplements

    Hi kristinam! I just read your post and wanted to respond about the cellulite advice... After I gave birth to my son, I was extremely dehydrated but, to my absolute amazement, there was not a bit of cellulite anywhere on my legs. Slowly, as I got back to my old self, the cellulite reappeared...

    Video Crew

    who's Rhonda?? I've seen Rhonda's name popping up all over the place and was hoping someone could tell me who she is. I have almost all the tapes before the newbies (waiting on DVD's...ugh!!!), so if she's in there let me know! Michele

    good stuff :-)

    thanks for the info... ...and for getting back to me so fast. You could say I'm a little addicted to this forum - I think I log on at least two or three times a day! I already have a barbell that I bought from the FIRM years ago, and while I really like the bar, it only comes with very...

    good stuff :-)

    Hi Wendy...question for you! I did MIS for the first time on Thursday, and today (Sunday) is the first day that I'm actually able to move without feeling every muscle in my body! I've been doing the PS series for about three weeks and upon Cathe's suggestion, threw MIS in on my fourth week. I...

    front lunges vs. back lunges

    wanted to ask the same question! I've been wondering the same thing. I absolutely hate to do front lunges, but find back lunges so much easier to do and am able to increase the weight as well. I'm waiting for the answer to this one, too! Michele

    just a few questions, Cathe...

    Hi Cathe - I've been doing the PS series alternating with Cardio days (mostly StepFit and StepWorks...I'm addicted to those two) for the last four weeks and have had fantastic results. My biceps and triceps have literally popped out and everything else is shaping up nicely as well. I'm going...

    Anyone want a good laugh?

    boxer question Hi! I was just wondering if white is an easily found Boxer color. They are one of my favorite dogs and when my 11-year-old Rottie goes to doggy heaven (she's my first big baby, before my hubby and son), it's a breed that I would definitely consider. Also, are they good with...

    new to forum

    Hi Lindsay! Welcome aboard! I'm a FIRMie, too, and have just started using Cathe's tapes on a regular basis. I wanted to see more muscle definition than I was getting with the Firm and since I knew Cathe from her step tapes, I figured her strength tapes would be just as great...they are! I...

    did Interval Max for the first time...

    <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Aug-12-00 AT 04:29PM (EST)</font></center> ...and I am pooped! What a workout! I was soaking wet by the end and don't think I have ever had so much sweat pouring out of me, from everywhere! When I got done, I didn't even have the energy...

    How many tapes per day should I do?

    Hi Jackie I posted a similar question on the Ask Cathe forum, which Cathe answered herself. Look under "New Girl on the Block." I'm here from the FIRM, too. I purchased the PS Series and I felt the difference in Cathe's tapes immediately. Also, her step tapes are the absolute best! Have...

    VCR format to DVD...more tapes coming?

    I was just wondering if there are any plans to put more of Cathe's VCR format tapes onto DVD. I'd really like to get more of the step tapes, but if the DVDs are coming, I'd rather wait for those. Does anyone have any info about this? Thanks! Michele

    Out of control

    count me in on this one! Hi Thundercat! You are not alone! I'm anxious to see Cathe's response to this because I'm hoping that everyone (yes, you too, Cathe!) goes through these cycles. I find that I binge like that if I try to be too restrictive with my diet. My husband is a junk food...

    my new favorite...Step Fit!

    Hi Susan! I'm glad to see I'm not alone. The only part that I really had difficulty on is the repeater that goes into a pivot turn (do you remember that part?) I still haven't gotten that right yet! Now you've got me itching to do Step Works. I'm debating on getting the other step tapes that...
