My children were off school for teacher training and I decided not to let it get in the way of a workout. I set them up with something to do and got on with my weights. It became obvious I was far more interesting than their acivity. I was doing barbell chest presses. The weight was too heavy...

gettingstrong, I am going through the exact same thing with my 10 year old daughter at the moment. Every cold she has had this past year has turned into a chest infection. For the past 2 months she has been battling a chest infection that several antibiotics have failed to shift. I am now...

I just read in one of your posts that you are in Nottingham. I'm from Newcastle but my sister is studying in Nottingham. She is not into Cathe yet as working out at home is now inconvienient for her. This is such a shame as it was her who got me into home workouts originally. It's great to...

Increase your water intake! I agree with the above posts to increase your fibre intake in stages and as you increase fibre also increase water. You will find that this has a multitude of positive effects - it will fill you up, keep you regular and improve the condition of your hair skin and...

Hello to Shaz too. It is good to see other UK fans. I "met" fitnik when she first started to post - she studied at University here in Newcastle. I hope things get better for her. I found Cathe through a search engine when I first became interested in working out after my daughter was born. I...

Hello starbuck. I just wanted to say "HI" to another Cathe fan in the UK! I am from the North East (a Geordie!) and we definately mash our tea! I am with you on the whole fish and chips thing. They do however taste so much better when eaten out of the bag at the coast with the North Sea in...

RE: CTX Upper Body Tape Yippee! Thank you for the prompt reply. Tee.

I know it has been mentioned in a previous post, but I have a question re the plans to release the upper body segment of the CTX series as a sererate VHS tape. The thing is, I am planning on buying the CTX series for my birthday next month (or rather having it bought for me) and was wondering...

Can anyone actually do the over-the-step lunges at the end of the last power circuit? I'm sure it's actually some sort of trick photography - the same as the tuck jumps in the last interval of Imax! Seriously though, how long did it take you to be able to do these? I use a Reebok step, which...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-06-02 AT 09:50AM (Est)[p]I asked this question a couple of days ago. You can check out the responses. http://64.225.138.194/dcforum/VideoQC/1850.html I am planning to get CTX because it seems to be so popular and very versatile an also because it looks so good. Good luck. Tee.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I definately think CTX is worth having and it is now top of my birthday wish list, quickly followed by all the other Cathe workouts I don't have :-) I know from past experience that, for me personally, I lose weight quite steadily when I work out consistently...

Thanks, that was the post I was refering to. I also agree that whatever the aim of your workout, it is good to have variety, and Cathe provides plenty of that. I don't think I'm the only one who, after trying Cathe's workouts, now wants them all! :-) The only question is in what order to buy...

Shortly after S&H was made (or perhaps during the making) Cathe posted in detail the difference between, and aims of, all her strength workouts. Unfortunately I cant't find it, but perhaps someone on the forum saved it or has a link to it. Sorry I couldn't be more help! Tee

Has anyone used this series successfully whilst trying to lose weight? Given all of its good press I would really like to have it, but at the moment I am still trying to lose the weight I gained during my 2 pregnancies. In your opinion, is it worth getting this series at the moment or using...

RE: Cathe is the best! I don't post very often but I couldn't resist this one! When I started working out after having my children (6yo and 4yo)I was stuck as to what to do - my experience of fitness related activities had been limited to the pool, having been a competitive swimmer until my...
