Core ... core ... core. I tend to hunch over or "slump" when I sit. I found that once I started really focusing on my core strength the posture came into line and was much more natural without having to remind myself to "sit up". I add a segment of CoreMax to the end of my routines every...

Cathe does use a high step for her pyramid lower body. I suppose a bench like the one you have would work. As long as it is 14". That is the average height of the high step. I actually use 1 extra riser with my high step only because I am 5'6" tall. That is about 4" taller than Cathe ...

I would check out her video previews for Kick Max and Kick Punch and Crunch. I have both of them and love them. KPC has a stability ball segment and Kick Max has leg conditioning drills which are also excellent. That is my 2 cents. I would recommend some others, but since you do not like...

I am not Cathe, but I just wnted to give you a kind word of encouragement. It takes a lot of anyone to ask for help ... escpecially women and their weight. I just wanted to say that I appreciate your courage and I am sending you best wishes and support during your efforts. Jenn

I am not for certain the brand that she uses, but I have tried several (I have quite a collection) types of gloves and the best ones ... which appear extremely similar to Cathe's are by Nike. They are light weight with "Dri-fit". There is no velcro to deal with (they stretch onto your hands)...

I'm not Cathe, but I had a similar experience. I purchased my dynabands from fwonline.com and my green one snapped in half the first time I went to use it. You may want to go to their website and purchase a new one. It was approx $3.00 and they replaced it immediately. Just a thought.

I'm not Cathe, but I had/have a similar problem. I have cellulite around my thights and buttocks area. I used to do the firm (started in 2000 and did it on and off for approx 5 years). I recently became aware of Cathe from FitTv in about January of this year and began slowly with her routines...

High Step Challenge and High Step Training Advanced cater to the high step. I think that HSTA is a bit more challenging than HSC, but they are both great workouts. Jenn

Clean eating is trying to eat foods in their natural state and un-processed such as fresh fruits, veggies whole grains and wheat flour (not "enriched" wheat flour). Try to stay away from the processed foods and simple carbohydrates, such as sugars, white flour and white rice. I hope this...

Not Cahte either, but I know how overwhelming it can be. When I first "discovered" Cathe of FitTV I went crazy trying to figure out which DVDs to purchase. If you like step then LoMax is a nice one for an intermediate exerciser. You can make the workout as easy or as intense as you want it to...

RE: Looking for When you do decide to buy a step, I would purchase the full length step. Only because if you get addicted to Cathe's step routines (which is pretty much unavoidable) you will be better off with the longer one. When you are ready to purchase one, check out e-bay. I was able to...

Alexandra, I wear Ryka shoes for all of my exercising. Rhythm II are a great mid cut aerobic shoe and wow are they comfy. I was able the get mine (brand new) from ebay at a great price. Jenn

Kick Max is also very good and the only equipment you need is a chair for the leg conditioning drills. It is a great overall workout. Have a wonderful vacation. Jenn

Hi, i'm not Cathe but I do know what you mean. The stability ball really incorporates all those little stability muscles that we are not used to using. Just make sure to keep your core tight and the balance will come with time. At least that was my experience. :-) Jenn

I think that the major concern, when it comes to cortisone, is that it is a type of steroid and steroids can ... if taken over a long period of time ... hinder your immune system along with many other health issues. It is not something to take lightly, but speaking from experience of family...

I absolutely agree that 1000-1200 is way too low. Not only will you starve your body and begin to burn muscle, but you can also effect your menstrual cycle. If you go too long on a low calorie diet and you notice that your mensis start to be fewer and farther between, you can actually cause...

Not Cathe, but I think it is what works for you. You kind of have to "play" with your hand position. For me, I use my fingertips and my hands are slightly in front of my waistline. You really have to hold your core tight and focus. It is definitely not easy, but keep on practicing and it...

Hi Dawn, I'm not Cathe, but I am also 5'6" and 125 lbs. and I have to agree with Sarah. I had a smaller upper frame and I have been doing Cathes strength rotation with the Gym Style workouts and I have seen great results. My lower body tends to bulk muscle fairly easy so I have added running...

I have only used the gloves once, but in my previous experience as a kickboxing instructor, I used 1-3 pound weights sparatically throughout my sessions and my arms were very lean and cut. Especially on the shoulder area. I think it is just personal preference. Jenn

They are available at Target. They come in 1 and 2 pound sets. They are actually wrist weights with a loop for your thumb to help keep them in place. I use them with Kick Max & KPC, but only during the punching routines, not in the warm-up or blasts. The only downside that I found is that...
