    Soy Protein Powder

    There's a soy nut butter... ...that I think is pretty good. I spread it on toast & just last week saw it in my "regular" supermarket. Also, recently I whipped up silken tofu & added it to mashed potatos. I couldn't taste a difference & the spuds were very creamy.

    wedding video

    pulled out the Wedding tape this morning... I've let my cardio slide a little bit while focusing on strength. Today I did the Wedding tape & it was just what I needed! I think it would be a good choice for your first Cathe.

    concrete floor

    here's what I did I workout in the basement which is concrete. When I first started doing Cathe my bad knee really started acting up. In addition, I started having problems with my ankles - something I'd never had before. Fortunately, I have these two area carpets from when I lived in an...

    Step Height

    When I first started doing Cathe almost a year ago I had to go to 4". I remember slowly working up to 6" & the feeling I had when I could do all of Step Jam on 6" was ecstatic! When I can do an entire Cathe on 8" I'll be a monster! Definitely try to find a step with more variation in height...

    MIS

    Hi Jul . . . Well, I mostly do MIS, but I do modify a bit. I really like the MIS music for lifting & I find Cathe's comments inspiring, so even when I modify my workout I have it on in the background. I usually go slower & concentrate on form. Here's a typical week for me: Mon -- legs on the...

    looking for motivation (long and boring)

    "has anyone gone through this?" Oh my, YES! Unfortunately, I don't have an easy answer for you on how to get the drive back. I've been where you're at so many times! For me, the only thing that works is DISCIPLINE! I absolutely must buckle down & JUST DO IT! Usually it only takes a couple of...

    MIS

    Chrissy, I do the same Whenever I do all of MIS in one workout, I sleep for two hours afterwards! It just whips me! I'm trying out a "Focus on Strength" routine for the summer so I do 4 strenghts a week - each body part gets two workouts a week. In just 3 weeks I've seen a remarkable increase...

    My Legs! Whats Wrong!

    no answer Helen, but . . . I don't have an answer to your question, but I've been contemplating a legs workout tape for a couple of weeks now, & was down to Cathe's PS legs, Firm standing legs or Firm tough tape. No offense to all you Firm lovers, but I love Cathe so much, why did I even...

    New Videos High Impact

    from someone with a bad knee . . . I've never had a problem modifying Cathe's tapes to lower impact if my knee is acting up. At first I thought it would be nice to have someone doing the lower impact version, but you know what? I watch Cathe. With all the beginning/intermediate tapes out there...

    Since the VF forum is down . . .

    more Gilad! "I enjoy his workouts and his slightly off-beat personality." not to mention is great physique! oh baby! Gilad's step tape was the reason I managed to stick with an exercise plan early last year. He's very encouraging & down to earth. Then I discovered VF & read about Cathe who...

    Videos - I did it!

    I order via the web all the time, Rhonda! Between catalog ordering & the internet, if I never see the inside of a shopping mall again that's fine with me! Just make certain you're dealing with a reputable firm -- like SNM & always check for the little key or lock icon at the bottom of your...

    Awesome 2K02: What Makes it Superior

    name of this tape?? Since I discovered Cathe, the only other insturctor I've tried is Kari & have since traded all her tapes (Kari's, not Cathe's!!). However, a little variety would be nice, so, is 2K02 the name of this tape & is it a step tape? Is it part of a series, like Firm, Cia? I'm...

    Stool

    Yes, Nancy, I did too! What a funny thread & how funny that so many of us thought of the same thing! And I would have to say that I think regular exercise does help to make me more regular! Good laughs on this one!
