RE: Thank you!! Hi Denise, I have a two year old, so she is in the other half of the basement while I work out. For a while I did the early morning thing, and realized that I wanted the early morning to myself (very quiet then!). Sometimes I'll workout during naptime, but I try to do it when...

I never thought this would happen, but it turns out I had a week in which I did NO Cathe except for Leaner Legs (don't hurt me, Aquajock!). It was a nice break, but it made me long for that Intensity series all the more. I ended up doing Cory GHAS, and Intense Moves a couple of times. It was...

I am hearing the siren call of Mindy Mylrea while I wait for Cathe's new videos. Has anyone done any of these? How do they compare to, say, IMAX or Intense Moves? I understand the production isn't great, but if the workout is good that's fine with me. I am in my "kill me with intervals" phase so...

I bought a soft stick (a la Karen Voight) at my Kohl's this morning for about $24. These are new at least in my store. It's a 12 lb stick and came with 2, 1-lb soft weights (you could add more if you have those aerobic wrist weights) and a video (not KV). A nice option to a body bar that can...

RS scared me back in April when I previewed it. I was bored one workout day, and decided to just DO it. It was not very hard at all for me (but I'd been Cathe stepping for four months)and I love that knee-kick-knee thing. The way I learned it was I did only the first section twice a couple times...

I did IMAX yesterday and realized one of the things I love about this workout is that the choreo is simple enough that I don't even have to look at the tv! Power lunges are a teeny bit easier when you can stare at the wall and count! Even the step choreo is simple enough with Cathe's cueing. But...

Hi, I am continuing an endurance rotation, but getting a little tired of doing LL twice a week. I was thinking about subbing the Firm's Standing Legs once a week. Any opinions on how this would jive with LL? I am assuming it is an endurance workout because of the Firm's speed. It would also be...

Some friends were in a discussion about hobbies and I said mine was exercise/fitness. Suddenly, in their eyes, I grew two heads. Aside from music, fitness is the one thing I do only for ME. My idea of heaven is finding a well-stocked exercise video/dvd section (or getting a Cathe shipment!)...

Just this morning I liberated a full-sized Step and four risers from the Salvation Army for $2.50! I'm thinking about making a mini-topper but I'd like to hear from folks who have actually made these how easy they are. Did you have to rent any tools? I have the usual household stuff but no...

RE: I'm gettin' Cathe for Christmas! (Sung to the tune of "I'm Gettin' Nuthin' For Christmas). Now, I triple dog dare someone to write an entire verse of it with Cathe-related lyrics. :-) Rose

LAST EDITED ON Sep-16-02 AT 05:37AM (Est)[p]Has anyone ever counted the number of reps Cathe does in the strong legs floowork? I'm so lazy, I know. I just though this is one workout I could do while watching TV or while my daughter plays without watching the DVD. Thanks! Rose

I was previewing Circuit Max while my daughter was playing. Next thing I know, she's dragged out my step platform, picked up a wooden toy that looks like a dumbbell and is going up and down on the step yelling "exercise!!" A mini-Cathe in training? :-) Rose

I really like it when IMAX comes up on my rotation. For me, it's a slay-the-dragon kind of thing - how many intervals can I get through this week? :-)I can get through the whole tape, but I do the easiest intervals (still not very easy!) My advice is to just do it and do what you can. Even one...

Very interesting thread at VF about lowering your step height and still getting a good workout. I've always automatically done workouts at 6 inches (I'm 5-1) but last night for Body Max step I went down to 4. And I loved it! I could do ALL the power moves with the gang, which is the first time...

Y'all are going to have to bear with me. No one else understands how proud I am of myself! :-) I finally realized that for me diet is 90 percent of the solution. So, for the past two months I have been writing down what I eat, keeping to a certain number of calories. I have also upped the...

You know, I let RS run twice tonight, and some of the longer hiccups were gone but there were still some. And, I always get them during IMAX. I have not noticed them on some other dvds I have, including Cardio Hits. I've never heard of fairly new DVD players not playing certain technology. I...

RE: Thanks Everyone for your replies! Hi Runathon! I have the KV stretch tape and a tape by Tamilee Webb, Beginner's Stretch for Flexibility, that is really good. She is on the banks of what looks like a peaceful koi pond, and she has that great alto voice ... very soothing. There is nothing...

I about threw my step through the TV this morning because of DVD difficulties! Whew, I'm calmer now ... I was actually attempting Rhythmic Step, and the DVD kept getting stuck. Now, I know there are hiccups here and there when it switches to dual layering, but this seemed to be there forever...

Oh yeah, I'd buy a t-shirt, a poster, a video of Cathe buttering her toast in the morning. And Cathe, just so you don't think I'm some psycho: I have to tell you, with much love and respect, that you are the only person to have EVER motivated me to work out. I just today increased my barbell to...

Thanks, Annette. In case you couldn't tell, I was looking for a justification to skip IMAX ;-). I only do it once a week, too, so I guess it's not too much to ask of myself. Besides, I don't feel so bad when I see Hope doing a modification (my new hero!). Rose
