I am planning on doing PH today, so I will try to streych on my own before I start. I felt like this may be a solution also. I usually have to stop during the workout to do this. I'm gonna keep at it, (WITH DETERMINATION) x( Thanks Connie G. 2Young2beOld

RE: Hi Connie! Thanks so much Debbie!! I just wish we could have a club like this in our town.. We have a very nice fitness center, but it is geared more for Swimming and I think we are all paying for that pool. We have less and pay more. Our memberships cost more than Cathe's club. We just...

I recently saw a post that contained a link to Cathe's new gym and I can't find it:( Does anyone have this link? I wanted to go back to it and somehow I neglected to save it. Thanks, Connie G.:-) 2Youbg2beOld

I'm willing to try anything because I don't want to get discouraged enough to avoid leg work. It's not my favorite thing to do anyway, but I know it is a real calorie burner. Thanks for the tip. I am open to any suggestions. Connie G. 2young2beOld

Hi Trevor, I thought of that too. The problem is, I don't think of it until my calves are screaming!! I am going to make a real effort to try this. I have always thought it was form, but so far I haven't been able to stop it!! Even in the gym, where there are mirrors to check my form...

I have a problem with my calves hurting on the leg extended behind me while doing lunges. I could go on with the entire workout as far as strength goes or fatigue in my quads. This has always been a problem for me and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I can do calf raises with no pain. I...

Hi Donna I think you are right about Pergo. My husband just installed hardwood in our kitchen because he said it would cost nearly as much for laminate flooriing as hardwood. The thing I tried to argue with him on was the scratch factor. We have an English Setter in the house! He couldn't...

I though about vinyl and I think it might work. I also thought about tile so that it could look nice for another type of room, (for resale benefit). I guess short of the "Real Thing", these would be best choice. We all know what concrete does to us, but the gym I went to for 8 years is...

I workout in my basement also, and I don't like the cushy carpet either. I am new to working out at home so I really miss the gym floor. We are getting ready to build a new house and I already have my basement room tagged, so I am trying to learn about what to put on the floor in that room. I...

I guess you're right, I think my time at the advanced level is limited. But, boy! do I love the intensity of advanced step!! I hope I have enough sense to know when to step down a litte. I told my buddy that the last segment is a lot better, and you can also hype up the intensity on your...

I have just discovered Cathe. I am 51 and have been working out for 8 years. I ordered the Gilad Step Aerobics (Waikiki) before I found Cathe. Although I thought it was a good step video, it was way to basic for me. I worked out with Gilad on T.V. before I joined the fitness center and I...

RE: Do you think Cathe is a secret to the rest of the ... I belong to our local fitness center , which is pretty large, and no one knows Cathe. Some of our instructors didn't even know her. I think they might be intimidated a little. I've been telling everyone who is advanced about her. We...

Way to go Diane!! I also am 51 and I have been guessed younger. I have no problem keeping up with the younger crowd in step classes, although I need to do alot more weights. I am in better shape now than when I was in my 30's, but I didn't work out at all then. I agree with an earlier...

2young2beOLD I have been working out and doing step in our fitness center for 8 years and have just found Cathe. I can't believe I hadn't heard about her from our instructors. They would always share their stories about the conventions they attended. Unfortunately, our gym has all but quit...

I was so glad to see all these opinions on RS. I am planning to order this, and I am looking for choreography and a tough workout. Step is my first choice, and I want it to be advanced. So thanks for the postings, they have convinced me to order. Steppin Nana ;)
