I tore my ACL in 2006 and had 3 surgeries that year before achieving a successful reconstruction. The BOSU was used extensively in my physical therapy and I bought one for home too. I'm not sure if I would use it for stepping, but it is great for lunges and squats. When you turn it over it is...

Sorry about your ACL but congrats on the baby! I tore my ACL in 2006 and had 3 surgeries before achieving a successful reconstruction. I've been doing Cathe workouts since 1997 so it was torture not being able to do what I had always been able to do. I feel your pain! Do you have a...

RE: Allison you're right! I meant the power SQUATS! Hi Kathy, I'm sorry to hear you tore your ACL and damaged your meniscus. I tore mine while skiing. I hope to ski again but probably not this season. My third surgery was with an allograft. So far, so good! I completely know what you...

RE: Allison you're right! I meant the power SQUATS! That's what I did today but my mind was saying "JUMP! TURN!" I may just need to be patient and hopefully in a few months I can work up to them. Thanks!

RE: Allison you're right! I meant the power SQUATS! Oh yeah, I've had LOTS of rehab :-) My surgeries were all within a 9 month period so I became very close to a couple of the PTs I worked with. In fact, before I started doing any lower body weight training using Cathe's DVDs (they cleared me...

Allison you're right! I meant the power SQUATS! I was so excited that I could do the power scissors that I can't believe I said lunges instead of squats. Both of those moves sound like good substitutes. I'll give them a try next time. I'm so excited to be doing my Cathe workouts again I'm...

Hi Cathe, What would be a good move to substitute for the turning power lunges in C & W? I tore my ACL in March of 2006 and had 3 surgeries to repair it with the last one being in December. I was cleared to do step about 6 weeks ago (with my handy custom brace!) and believe me I've been...

Hi Bev, I miss Imax2 the most of all! I can hear the music in my head and can't wait until I can tackle that one again.:) I hope you'll be able to step soon too! Cassie

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry you were injured in a car crash. How scary! Thanks for the encouragement and I hope your recovery continues smoothly.:) Cassie

Ouch! Breaking your ankle is nothing to sneeze at.:( I've truly gained a new appreciation for all orthopedic injuries...they are the pits! Hopefully we'll get to keep working out with Cathe for years to come! Cassie

Thanks so much you guys! It's so nice that you guys understand because my husband thought I was little crazy when I was crying while working out:) It's so funny but I bought that DVD years ago just so I could have all of Cathe's workouts.;-) I had never used it but in the back of my mind I...

Hi Everyone, I just had to share my good news with some folks who might actually "get it." Today was the first time since March 8, 2006, that I was able to do a step workout. It was the Basic Step workout and I was on cloud nine!:D I tore my ACL while skiing in March of 2006 and have had...

The method that Cathe described for doing straight leg raises is *exactly* what I have been doing in physical therapy after my ACL reconstruction in March. For inner/outer and hamstring curls I use 5 lbs and for straight leg and slightly externally rotated lifts I use 3.5 lbs. The key (and Cathe...

Hi Kim, I just wanted to say that Christie is the hero here! I merely asked the question and she provided the answer:-) Enjoy your new room. Is your hubby going to go for the pillars?! Cassie

Thanks so much! I have been doing some research on this for the last few months and have been totally unsuccessful. This is just what I needed:)

We are in the process of building a new home and I am at the point where I need to select a floor material for my exercise room. This room will be on our lower level and whatever I put down will be on top of concrete. I am hoping that someone here will have some experience with this and can...
