Hi Cathe! I appreciate your response stressing that 128 BPM is a guideline, not a law. If anyone doubts that guidelines change, think of HRT. It was standard treatment for years, but now suddenly it's bad for us. The bottom line is that each of us is responsible for knowing our limits...

Today is my 40th! I thought it would be a day like any other, but my morning w/o kicked in the endorphins. So I have to tell everyone that I've only been working out since April, but now I'm a fitness instructor and do Cathe workouts. Not bad for a few months! I love these forums...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread, hope you don't mind a drop-in! I'm happy because I did High Step Circuit this morning. Lunges are hard for me, but the Leg Presses are getting easier, so I'll keep working those muscles. I'll be checking in daily; I love to talk about my daily...

Congrats MJ! Not many women see their high school jeans after 10 years. Many of us get into a hopeless rut, thinking it'll never happen, why try, etc... You've inspired me to keep pushing! Can you post pictures?

Great news! I'm getting bored with Low Impact Step! Not that it's a boring workout, but my fitness level is improving. I love the choreography, but I'm bored with the breakdowns. Also, I don't like this music. I've seen this called a "mini Low Max." My question is, if I've mastered...

Thanks for saving that one!

Seems we have a few Double Step fans out there. Maybe Cathe could put one Double Step segment on a new Step DVD. That way, people who don't have two steps will still buy it, but us Double Steppers will have something extra. There aren't many Double Step workouts, so Cathe would corner the...

I'm sick of the "dreamy couple" thing too. Rachel and Ross were so annoying! I like Bree too. She reminds me of my Mom: let's pretend everything's great, but when the going gets rough, don't mess with her. I wonder what she'll do to George when she learns the truth. Anyone wanna play the...

Like you and Laurie, I teach group fitness and do Cathe. I think it's the best of both worlds! Your comments about women and anorexia really hit home. DH has female relatives who are constantly dieting and comparing themselves. I always eat desserts around them to keep them away.}(...

Just my opinion...Basic Step/Body Fusion is good, but I like Low Impact Step better. I think the choreography is more fun, and I love how the intensity sections get your heart rate up there. I've read that it will prepare you for Low Max, but I'm too chicken to verify that. I also...

Do you have a local YMCA? You can start by attending the classes. As you get to know the teachers, tell them you're interested in teaching. A good teacher will give you pointers, and she might even introduce you to the aerobic coordinator. This is how I got started, and I couldn't be happier...

I second this one!

You have every right to rant! This "friend" was a real *&$#. (use your imagination) Don't take her behavior personally! Some people are rude, no matter how nice we are to them. Just organize future get togethers without her. Our lives are tricky enough without so-called friends...

Just another piece of advice...when she finds the one she loves, tell her not to buy it just yet. You can often find the same dress on the net for less. Check eBay, do a Google and a Yahoo search. My sister did this and saved $$$$. Also, don't count out department stores if she wants...

Good idea. I'd preorder one of these, and I think other Cathe fans would also, especially if they own the high step. I own two step platforms for practicing routines, but I realize most people only have one. Those things aren't cheap. However, judging from the postings on videofitness.com...

How about a DVD devoted exclusively to Double Step - that's back and forth between two steps. These classes are a huge hit in our gym - I teach one and it's a blast! The steps can be set up side-by-side facing vertically, or in an L-shape (one horizontal and one vertical.) There could be...

RE: I'm all over this one!

I use bands for sculpting in my Step/Interval class. I'll never forget how sore I was when I started teaching. If Cathe had an all-band workout, or even half bands, I would preorder it fast. Maybe it could be a Vacation Workout? (The idea was on another thread, but it's worth saying it again.

RE: I would preorder it quicker than you could say "How to Get in Shape..." Cha-ching!
