    UPDATED "ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CATHE'S WORKOUTS"

    RE: UPDATED Michelle, Thanks so much. I am restarting with Cathe's tapes and just did today circuit max (having forgotten how intense it is) and was feeling quite low because I was so exhausted. This puts things in perspective and reminds me it's time to purchase some new tapes!!! Sandy

    Which Cathe Step Workouts to Get...I'm New to Cathe?

    Chris, I started with the wedding tape and it was a great introduction to her step. If you have done any step tapes, a lot of the language is the same but the moves she uses in the wedding tape will be used in her other step tapes and it actually is a good work out. I end up sweating as much...

    help with rythmic step

    Kelley, that is exactly what I needed. I am going to try it next time and see if that helps but it makes sense to see it in writing. Watching her and trying to figure it out while I wasn't behind her just made it so difficult. THANK YOU!!!! Sandy

    help with rythmic step

    have done rythmic step now 3 times and just have so much trouble with section three. The first 2 sections were a breeze but can't seem to get this last section which makes me improvise and darn it, I want to learn it. Any suggestions for tearing this last section apart? I first get stuck with...

    need help understanding different terms

    Hi, I still consider myself new to Cathe's workouts and am still trying to figure out what will work for me to get this extra 10 pounds off. I am eating clean, exercising well and can't seem to budge. I saw one person comment on one of the tapes being "endurance" versus "strength building"...

    help me choose my next workout tapes

    I have the opportunity to buy some new Cathe videos from someone. Here is my question. I am considering getting the CTX series for a mothers day gift so I want to know if these others ones would be redundant once I own the CTX series or would give me additional workouts outside of the CTX...

    need help to lose weight

    thanks everyone. I think I just need a kick in the butt. I know it is what I am eating and when I eat clean, I lose the weight. I need to get my act back in gear and do what it takes. The exercise will only work so much without eating well. Thank you all!!!! Sandy

    need help to lose weight

    I am getting really frustrated because I am working out a lot and not seeing results on the scale. I am currently doing 45-6 cardio days a week and intersperse some weight work with it. I have three Cathe videos, 2 Firm videos and some good K. Smith videos. I have The wedding Tape, circuit...

    What is the best cathe video to start with?

    I started with the wedding tape which everyone recommended and I still think it is great. She has 45 minutes step and 45 minutes weights so you get an introduction to both. The step tape gets to very good intensity so it is not like it is a beginner tape. I have just ordered two other step...

    Really want to lower body fat

    I would love also to hear your responses. I am presently at 143 (5'4")and have been doing really well with working out and eating well. I took 7 pounds off the first couple months and have not budged from this weight. I do cardio 5-6 times a week for 45-60 minutes and have started adding...

    uneven thighs

    I stopped working out about a year ago due to a very badly sprained ankle. It took months and months to heal and I started up again with light walking, etc. I am now fully recovered (I think) but notice that my right knee (same leg in which I sprained the ankle) will occassionally act up...

    need help to add weight training

    Again, you are all wonderful!!!! I decided to retry the wedding tape toning section and actually am aching from the workout. I will continue doing this for several weeks and then get the CTX series as the next rotation to start. I have been wanting to get the weight off so badly that I didn't...

    need help to add weight training

    thanks you Kaz and Connie. You guys are so helpful. I think the DVD CTX series sounds like the way to go. I will treat myself (because it is or I am worth it!!!). I feel so self-indulgent spending all this time on finding out about exercise (I have three kids and also manage to work part...

    need help to add weight training

    I agree, you really do look awesome. So what do you think about CTX. Sounds like jillybean really thinks this is the way to go. I don't care about how they look as long as it is a good workout. I can't imagine EVER getting to the place where I look like you do in those pictures. So, excuse...

    Update on my tick bite!

    I saw this post and thought I would give my two cents worth. I actually had lymes disease (and live in california) and did a tremendous amount of research. first thing to know is that there is a high pervalence of false negatives (meaning it could say you don't have it and you actually do)...
