    awww i tried to hard to like her

    Cathe makes videos for advanced exercisers. One issue could be that your current fitness level is a mismatch. Another issue could be the specific workouts that you picked. IMAX for instance is at the high end of the spectrum but a workout like Cardio Kicks or Rhythmic step is sill advanced...

    stood up

    Carola, I consider myself an intrinsically strong person too, but I am usually non-confrontational and easy-going so I think I dont come off as "strong". I have good intution and can judge people/situations, so I have been pretty good at taking care of myself. Yet I found myself in a...

    A thread a couple of days ago got me thinking....

    Big issue is an understatement for your situation with your son. Sending healing thoughts your way and his.

    stood up

    This touched me deeply on multiple levels. I am amazed that someone who seemed so strong as your fourm personna could have let yourself be manipulated. I am sad for what you and your children went through. I am impressed by how well you articulated this post. I love the last para. Very...

    A thread a couple of days ago got me thinking....

    I know you do yoga. Yoga is supposed to train your mind to be in the present. When you need to contort/balance you find that you stop thinking about the unfinished business you want to complete or the overdue report, etc. at least during the duration of the yoga session. The idea is that yoga...

    Have you ever noticed...

    Have you ever noticed that when you get annoyed/angry/upset with someone else, it does not occur to you to think of how you share the same trait as the object of your displeasure or have made a similar transgression yourself in the past? <I have been actively practising "And How Am I Like This?"...

    stood up

    CC, I am so sorry this happened. The answer to your why is because he was a jerk and you let yourself be vulnerable with the wrong person. That doesnt make you desperate in my book. Just open hearted and aware of how wonderful love is. When the right man comes along he is going to be very...

    Travel Fit

    I like Travel Fit a lot too. It is a no fuss workout with minimal set up and put away time. I would love another resistance band workout from Cathe.

    Pre-order excitement (but not Cathe this time) :)

    Browsing the web with the iPad will be limited to when you are in wi-fi hotspots like at Starbucks or at some airports, and if you have wireless broadband at home if you get the wi-fi model. Which to me is good enough for my preferences (I like bare bones cell phones that can be used to make...

    T. Staehle's Cardio KB Challenge rave

    Cardio Sweatfest has an intense,long Kickbox workout which is entirely athletic. The intensity in some sections comes from form. You need to squat low to set up for the kicks for example. If you do these moves as demonstrated it is a great way to achieve intensity with moderate impact. It...

    T. Staehle's Cardio KB Challenge rave

    I love this workout too. I also do these other two from her a lot: a. Hi/Lo Medball. It isnt ultra-intense but no walk in the park either. It is such a happy workout with great music, moves, mood. It has a bit of everything from typical hi/lo, some dancy sections, some kick box sections...

    Full body weight workouts

    Does anyone remember if any of the premixes on supersets/push+pull qualify as full-body and still clock in at less than 30 minutes? If so, this is one of my favorite full-body weight training workouts (next being muscle max from Gym Styles). SS/PP has many short premixes but I dont remembr if...

    MMA workout fave?

    I dont have Kickbox. I love Boxing and Fusion equally, having done them just once each. I like Boxing because it is different from my other kickbox by having no kicking. I love the agility drills between boxing. Fusion is my first MMA-like workout. Some moves are too hard for me, but I gave...

    Any sugg. to get 5yr old boy to not wear pull-up at pm?

    Ohmygosh, I thought I was unique because I would dream of peeing and wake up to the warm feel of pee as a kid. LOL Kathryn! No, it most certainly did not feel nice. You must have been a really chilled out kid. That warm feeling filled me with shame/horror. I still feel the odd moment of...

    My Shock Cardio arrives in 2 weeks

    Morningstar, I know of 6 people in India (excluding me) who workout with Cathe. She is quite the globe trotter. :) Laura, enjoy your dvds!

    Can't get back into the swing

    Kim I was in a similar slump for a really long time. I used to LOVE and look forward to exercise sessions. I never needed will power. And then I hit the slump! When I stop exercising regularly, everything goes downhill. I eat badly, sleep late and feel sloppy. The big obstacle for me...

    iPads! The (almost) perfect Cathlete gadget

    Isn't that true of most electronics makers and software makers? The revenue model is based on releasing successive upgrades. I concede, Apple has been extra-shrewd with deliberate obsolescence. I dont buy Apple's no-flash-support argument for the iPad. And yet...I plan to get an iPad (Version...

    Is it too late to the Travel Fit/MMA party?

    Whew! I just did MMA fusion. LOVED it. I couldnt manage the mountain climber to a kick move at the speed as Cathe and crew. The roll back to an almost-plough and then roll forward into a pushup is like power yoga on speed! I managed it with utter lack of grace and lagged on speed. Something to...
