I'm out in my workout room by 4:30 a.m. and I have to say that I struggle some days do to really intense workouts. It takes me a while to wake up! But early in the morning is the only time I can work out. I've found that if I do my ab workout first, I'm more awake for the cardio, weights or...

You guys are awesome!

Listen to your body. Sometimes when your not feeling well it's best to just rest. As long as you don't have a fever and you have the energy, go for it.

I always did my step workouts on an 8" step and sometimes a 10" step (Kathy Smith, Reebok, The Firm) until I met Cathe. Boy did she humble me. I lowered my step height to 6" and it really hurt my pride. I do Lowmax on an 8" step and sometimes I do her other step workouts with an 8" step, but...

I'm noticing the same thing. I'm gaining lots of strength and I know I'm building muscle, but the fat layer just isn't going anywhere. My appetite has also increased and I'm trying very hard to be more aware of what I'm putting in my body. This layer of fat just isn't welcome anymore. Any...

Forgive me if this has already been answered, but does anyone know when the new workouts will be shipped?

RE: I'm an old Firm Workout Junkie, If I convert where ... I have worked out with The Firm since 1989 and have always considered myself to be in very good shape. The Firm became too easy so I thought I'd give Cathe a try. She totally kicks my butt! Not only did I have to lower my step height...

I'm so excited. I can't wait for the new workouts!!!

Hey Carol - My shoulders get very fatigued when I get to the core work. I think it's a great idea to do the core work at the beginning!!!! P.S. Knew I'd find you sooner or later on this site!!!!

Hello all. I have been doing The Firm since 1989 and I consider myself to be an advanced exerciser. Last summer I decided to try out Cathe because I felt The Firm wasn't challenging enough.....especially the newer workouts. I wasn't sure if I was going to like Cathe's workouts, because the...

Thanks for all the input. I feel great so I'm going to continue pushing myself!

Peanut Butter was invented because it does go nicely with chocolate.

I do Cathe's workouts because I needed to increase my intensity level. I've been doing The Firm for about 16 years. I still find the classic Firms challenging when I increase my weights, but the cardio is too easy. Then I was introduced to Cathe's workouts! My workouts haven't been the same...

I certainly think 1 hour is enough for weight loss!!! I usually work out 1.5 - 2 hours a day.

I asked my doctor about it yesterday and she thought it was fine, but she was hesitant. She preferred that I stay below 180 because there weren't many health benefits going over 180. I'm just going to do it because I feel great and I love Cathe's workouts. When Cathe turns the heat up, your...

That's how I learned the workout! I would do my main workout first, then I would put RS in and learn it. I would keep rewinding until I got the steps down. Since I already got my workout in, I didn't get frustrated when I stood behind my step with my mouth hanging open!!! Stick with it...

Hi! I'm new to this forum. I just started doing Cathe's workouts and I love them! I've been working out consistently for about 22 years and I consider myself to be in very good shape. A few months ago I purchased a Polar Heart Rate Monitor to keep track of calories burned, heart rate, etc...
