RE: Reality check Oh this is such an awesome thread! In this day and age of media moroseness, where it seems EVERYTHING you see on the news is bad, badder and baddest, it is refreshing to read notes from such a great group of gals who want to revel in their blessings rather than wallow in their...

I have a question for the flaxseed folks out there in Cathe-Land... What about using flaxseed OIL (as opposed to the "seeds") in a morning shake/drink? Does it have the same effects? I just recently returned to working (as a neonatal ICU nurse) after two years of disability off-time post-knee...

Oh Jilly... Thanks for the absolutely hilarious laugh! Cute but mean? Hmmmmmmm...yes, I probably HAVE thought that about Cathe from time to time, but ONLY during Power Sevens (or Power 15's...EEE-GODS!) But then I cool down and I think she's a brilliant genius who is only "giving me" what I...

Stacey and Honey... Thanks loads for the interpretation. I looked at the website, and suddenly recognized "Lower Body Solution" for what it was....FREESTYLE!! LOL I remember, back in 1997, when I really got on the exercise bandwagon, I discovered the magazine "Woman's Fitness". It was within...

OK...I've seen this terminology used on a few occasions in posts, and I confess, I'm stumped. Is the LBS some kind of rotation using Cathe tapes? If so, can anyone tell me the rotation? Thanks Hugs Lynn Finn

Hmmmm...I really had to think a bit with this one. When I first "discovered" Cathe, it was via one of her old, old tapes called "The Home Step Workout" (which I still own). I liked it a lot, and then bought Cardio Step Challenge (through Collage, I think). Next came Mega Step Blast, and it was...

Hey Deb... Welcome to the club! The "Over Forty and approaching you-know-what" age group. Yahhhhh!!!! I'm 46, but the speed at which the last 6 years flew by, I know I'll be fifty before I can blink twice! I've always been an exerciser, but sporadic at times. I still remember my first concerted...

Diana, I sent you a personal email, but I'm leaving my name and email here, just in case. [email protected] Lynnmarie Finn Thanks loads in advance. Can hardly wait to finally "regiment" my Cathe workouts! Hugs, Lynn

Haha... NEVER FEAR, Cathe! That soothing voice of yours along with those kick-butt workouts won't ever put anyone to sleep. I dare them to try!! LOL I think it just means that you are pleasant to listen to, your cues are clear, concise and delivered in a way that is neither patronizing or...

RE: aspartame-help! An added note... Just to add to the above article, since aspartame significantly depresses the production/formation of seratonin (the body's natural mood elevator)it CAN cause a physical reliance or craving for sweets. It ain't just psychological, believe it or not! After...

Heres an interesting article on Aspartame, for those who care to read on...it comes from the following website: http://www.rechargeyourlife.com/drross_chiropage/healthalert_asp.html Health Alert by Dr. Kevin Ross In a previous issue of "Waves" (our printed newsletter) I had published a chart...

I don't own an elliptical trainer, but since my knee injury and during recovery, I used them exclusively (at Bally's)to bring my fitness cardio level up to speed. Where certain higher impact and step moves gave my knee a headache, the elliptical allowed me to raise my heart rate sufficiently...

Here goes... Definitely top of the list, "Drop Squat/pendulum across". When I'm feeling really high on endorphins, I could just pendulum my way right out the door and down the street...can you see it? LOL Number two, and one I haven't seen mentioned here, "Flying Angels". Wish Cathe would bring...

No doubt about this... POWER SCIZZORS! Oh and, of course, sit-n-stands. I mean, C'MON!!! When you go down to sit, you're supposed to SIT, right? Not this half way up, halfway down stuff....LOLOLOL On good days, Power Scizzors get done with good form and I hate them. On bad days, Power Scizzors...

Mariela, Just to introduce my qualifications (but not dwell on them), I am an RN and have been active in the medical field for 25 years. After reading your note, it occured to me that you may want to discuss this persistant weight loss with your doctor. Have you ever been screened for thyroid...

Thanks, Ladies! I will direct my daughter to look up this thread next time she logs on (which is usually daily...or more ;-)) Right now I'm struggling with not devouring 9 packages of delicious, yumm yumm Girl Scout cookies....and wondering, "what was I THINKING????" when I ordered them. Is it...

No question here, Cathe, just a nice compliment you received from my daughter. She is a newbie to your tapes/workouts, but is permanently hooked. We were talking on the phone last night (she's in Oklahoma, I'm in Chicago) and she remarked on how "soothing" your voice is to listen to while...

Roni; Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!. A word for future videos....I don't think you'll be able to "hold out" until that June birthday before you buy CTX. Teehee....take it from a long time Cathe-addict. If hubby gives the total green light, I can guarantee you won't stop buying until you have...

Hi Ladies! I recently purchased CTX for my daughter, who has recently "gotten into" Cathe like I never dreamed she would! (She used to be afraid of more "complex" step videos and shied away from them like the plague!) My question is this...both for her and my own info. The cardio on CTX is...

Thanks for such a quick reply, Donna! I plan to order Slow and Heavy as soon as I am finished here on the forum...you've convinced me, as well as the comments from everyone else. I do own CTX, along with all Cathe's step tapes, PS series, so I have a LOT to draw from. My hubby and I also belong...
