    Need Help Choosing Cardio DVD

    IMAX 3!!!!! Rocks! It is a lot of step and is not dancy at all. In fact, it was rated in a recent issue of Fitness Magazine as a way to burn over 2000 calories! I believe it. In fact, I am dawdling on line here trying to psyche myself up to do it in a few minutes. It is definately a work out you...

    pre sale

    I ordered the pre sale back in January before poor Cathe hurt her leg. Since then I have a new email address, and the old one with my confirmation code is gone. Is there a way to find that confirmation number? Don't want to miss out on my Cathe!!!!

    Cathe, why 2 or three sets for a weight exercise?

    Not Cathe, but I have been told that to get the maximum benefit our of an exercise, you need to "exhaust" the muscle. The exhaust will tear down muscle fibers, thus spuring the healing. When the muscle fibers heal, that is when you see the definition and muscle growth. Hope that helps and makes...

    Situps vs. Abdominoplasty

    I don't have children but my sister has three. The last was a C section which left her mid section with about 5 inches of loose skin. Her doctor (who is not a plastic surgeon) told her the same thing about sit ups not helping and advised surgery if that would make her feel better about it. She...

    Cathe - question about your changing . . .

    me too!!! (hoping for maturing muscles) However, I will say that I have NEVER seen changes in my body like I have with Cathe workouts. No kidding! I have been working out for 12 years too and the last two with Cathe have been the most productive. Wish I had discovered her long ago - at least I...

    frusterated!:(

    Pyramid legs are when you do three sets per muscle group. The first being lighter, getting heavier with each set and then working your way back down. Gym Style legs GS, is to me a little more advanced and has more variety in it. Seems to get into those target areas we all want to work more...

    Cathe, how do you choose your "crew"?

    RE: Cathe, how do you choose your Your crew is great! I have always wondered how you all keep smiling throughout the work outs. I have tried it just to see how hard that is and I can't do it. Especially when we are on the last set of plie squats (those burn!!!) I smile after the work outs but...

    frusterated!:(

    I'm not Cathe, but have you tried her Gym Style series? I used the Pyramid work outs, and while they are good, the Gym Style ones are great! Gym Style legs is my favorite, I am always wobbly legs afterwards, which means she exhausted my muscles totally. May be just that you need to keep changing...

    New Workout

    Hey there! I found my weight set at Oshmans and saw the same one at Academy. It is not exactly like Cathe's but it has all the same weights and is easy to switch plates while you work out. It was $110.00. Also, you can get the high step at either of those places too (mine actually came with a...

    Frustrated shoe shopping

    Hey Cathe! What would be the best kind/brand of shoe for your workouts? I am having the hardest time finding comfortable shoes and have kept the old pair for about a year because everytime I buy a new pair, they have to go back. The balls of my feet fall asleep when I work out - step or...

    legs and glutes dvd hurt knee

    Just have to be very careful when doing the jumps. I found it is very helpful to work out with some kind of mirror around. This helps make sure that the knees are in proper alignment, shoulders back etc. Even if it is just a cheapie full length mirror from Wal-Mart, it will make a huge...

    Gym Styles or Pyramids?

    I love both as well, however the Gym Styie legs seem to concentrate more on different muscle groups in the legs. Lots of lunges and squats in different positions. My favorite is the slow lunges where you go down for four, hold four, pulse four, go back up four - OUCH! Also I really like that...

    Update - 4-13-06

    Cathe, What a relief! I am so glad you had the surgery!! I'm sure you will but just please do everything the doctor tells you so you heal quickly and don't have any relapses. Knee injuries are painful (my husband has had three and a partial replacement on the last) but it sounds like you are on...

    Has anyone every remodeled a bathroom?

    Funny you should ask, we are in the middle of such a project right now. We have a new house but hated the cheesy bathroom layout. We decided to rip EVERYTHING out of our bathroom, master bedroom and closet (they are all attached) and have nothing but bare concrete. My husband works in the...
