RE: Stability Ball & Troy Barbell Question Thanks SO much for your prompt and courteous reply. I just started collecting Cathe videos this year and I have been VERY pleased with the workouts AND the customer service. I ordered the stability ball and am waiting for a quote on the Troy barbell as...

RE: My story: thanks to Cathe & the Cathe-ites on the f... What an unbeliveably motivating story. And here I am whining that I can't seem to lose the last 10-lbs of the 30 that I needed to drop. You are AWESOME Donna. Thanks for posting such an inspiring story!

Cathe - Where can I purchase the stability ball used in the Intensity Series? What were the dimensions of the ball. If you sell it, I can't find it on the site. I also noted that you used Troy barbells. I've been on their site but cannot tell which one. Please let me know which model it...

RE: I Love Waxing I do Brazilian and I love it. Does it hurt. Well, of course, but you kind of become desenstized the more you do it. Plus, each time the hair grows in much softer and less dense. Brazilian or bikini, you really need to stick to an every four week schedule in order to help keep...

Make sure that you are holdng your head and neck in a neutral position. Also make sure that the barbell is sitting across the meaty part of your shoulders and NOT across the back of the neck. Most people hold the barbell up way too high on their shoulders when they first start. Make sure your...

I've had two GYN's and a specialist all tell me that the whole gain 5-lbs thing is a myth. They say that if you gain weight you are just eating too much. They also say that the "wait three months before getting preganant when you go off' and the 'if you are on a long, long time you will have a...

I smoked for 15 years and quit 5 years ago. I knew it was time to quit and was working up to it when I met my DH. He asked me to quit and I told him I would, but found myself sneaking all the time. Finally he caught me. It broke the trust we had between us and darn near ruined our relationship...

Absolutely LOVE Agnes B Volume +++ Mascara. It has been featured on Oprah. It is available through CCB-Paris which is a company my MIL turned me on to. Exceptional products for very reasonable cost. P.S. They also have the best skincare products I have ever used bar none....called Cosmence...

Oh, have fun!!! I LOVE Power Hour and MIS. Learning Rythmic Step as we spek. In another day or two I should have it down pat.

Pyramids and Muscle Endurance. I just LOVE strength training. If it were up to me I'd skip cardio all together.

You will not be disappointed. I love, love, love that tape as well as MIS. Hmmm, maybe I'll have to do Power Hour tonight...

I am a balanced endo. Since beginning Cathe PS & S&H series I have new definition that I have not been able to acheive prior. I am seeing a huge improvement in my arms and shoulders. My legs are solid as rocks, even with the layer of fat left on them. It is very hard for endos to achieve...

I just can't do them. No matter how I adjust I cannot seem to find the right position for planks...I taught step/strength training in the 90's so I am a real stickler for form. Even if I don't feel it during the exercise, the next day I have pretty sharp lower back pains. One time it was so bad...

RE: Ariel Congrats that you overcame your eating disorder. I am SO proud of you. Both of my sisters have had eating disorders as well. My one sister overcame it, but my other one is still in denial to this day. Its very sad, but we can't help her unless she wants to help herself. For...

RE: Ariel If you read the Hussman link, that is overtraining. 3 days of no more than one hour should be enough. Or, 4 days of 45 minutes or 6 days of no more than 30 minutes if you must do it everyday. If you have to do that much cardio to 'keep things under control", I suggest you take a...
