Almost sounds like an allergic reaction to something. Or, if you live somewhere with lots of deer, it might be a strange Lyme's Disease (people get this from ticks that hang around with the deer). I once had severely swollen (due to fluid) knees in March which, after a fruitless visit to the...

Not Cathe here. The original poster questions whether there is strength gain from endurance training. The suggestion is that there is strength gain from heavy weight strength training but no strength gain from lower weight endurance training. My impression is that each type of...

Here's a post I did elsewhere that I was copying for someone else. Thought beginners might find it helpful, so I am adding it to this thread. Have noticed that the difference between endurance and strength work outs is an issue that surfaces in these forums from time to time, not just in...

In the course of my business life, I ran across someone who was a member of the U.S. Navy. Whenever he sent me an email, he concluded it with the expression, "Have a great Navy day." It's my impression that that is a common sign off in the U.S. Navy. For some reason, it struck me and I liked...

Apologies in advance for dumb question of the day and don't mean to butt in, but What is a cheetah? I know the dictionary definition. It looks like Cathe Cheetahs are advanced exerciser types who exercise a lot and like to talk with each other pretty regulary about it. Have a great Cathe day.

Have noticed that the difference between endurance and strength work outs is an issue that surfaces in these forums from time to time, not just in discussions about weightlifting, but, e.g., is kickboxing muscular endurance training or cardio (or both). Just came across a very short and...

Everybody who replied, thank you. FYI, someone started another thread on this same topic in the Cathe forum. apparently other people are having the same problem. cheval - just finished a post to you re. your kickboxing/hamstring problems. didn't realize you had replied here. thanks.

re. "Yeah, don't worry, I won't try KM again for a good long time." Have been doing kickboxing for a while. Missed a few weeks, then went back to it last week and noticed that it was really stressing my hamstrings. That's bad, in a way, but it's also good, because it was working them and...

Re. bottom of foot travails. A bunch of the things you do kickboxing involve one leg supporting the entire body weight while the other leg is kicking, lifting, swinging, etc. When doing these types of movements, there is a tendency to focus on the leg that is moving and forget about the...

re. heavy breathing... She not only does all of the work outs, she talks cheerfully through the whole thing. It would be fascinating to see what she can really do. In other words, one of her "advanced" work outs that she can talk all the way through must be a low intermediate for her. In...

Cathe (or Jai/Lorraine): In your blog re. the new DVDs, you mention that Jai and Lorraine are certified kickboxing instructors. Would you happen to recall the (reputable) organizations that do this sort of certification? Am looking forward to the new Kickboxing DVD - am a regular...

thanks for input, folks. I just tried the following 2 with the results described above: Hardcore Series: Low Max DVD Intensity Series: IMAX 2. Sorry, don't know how to add a link into this. I just ordered her new DVDs (in production). That will hold me for a while anyway.

If you are not already an advanced exerciser, you soon will be if you do Cathe tapes for a while. For that reason, suggest you buy advanced work outs. You can go easy if you can't already do them. That way, you won't outgrow them. If you spend money on the beginner intermediate tapes, once...

Help on this would be appreciated. In Cathe's DVD store section, there are previews available for each DVD. Some of the previews play perfectly on my Windows Media Player, but some of them don't. I push the same buttons each time. On the ones that don't play, I get a message that says...

Kickboxing is great - it would be a shame if you had to give it up. Some thoughts that might or might not help. (1) regulate your own speed. When Cathe does two moves, you can do it slower so you are doing one. This will put less stress on you, particularly warming up. Also, maybe some of...

FYI, people who might order. Amy Bento seems to have two separate DVDs, one called All Pump, and a second called All Pump Xtreme. Deep Discount only seems to have All Pump.

not cathe here. Another option is powdered yeast which I use - I have a milk allergy. It is available at health food stores. I mix it with orange juice and like the flavor - although I used a very small amount when getting used to it.

Thanks very much, your suggestion works just fine. I did mean authors of posts on this website.

Any computer whizzes out there? Is there a way on this website to do a search that would show all posts by a particular author? I have figured out a search by topic, but can't seem to do this other type. Thanks.

Any martial arts experts out there who can assist with this question? I have the impression, but don't know for sure, that the main difference between these two kicks is the striking surface. The thrust kick is intended to push/strike your opponent away. The strike is delivered by the...
