    Stability Ball Issues

    There was an insert in the box for the ball that I bought. Below 4'-8" =45CM 4'-8" to 5'-3"= 55CM 5'-3" to 6'= 65CM over 6'=75CM I think it also depends on how long your legs are which may be why I don't think the 55 is working for me.

    Stability Ball Issues

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can't balance on that ball! I bought a 55 inch ball because of a guideline I saw somewhere, but I think it might be too big for my height. I'm 5ft 1, but I'm beginning to think I need the 45 inch ball. There seem to be certain exercises where when Cathe is...

    waist shapers

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I guess I'll lay off the weights during ab exercises and use the workouts recommended & see how it works out for me in a month. I really have no hopes of anything 'ripping' - at least not in a good way. I just try to tighten up the loose meat. Thanks all!

    CTX series

    That's exactly how I felt. I had to rewind so many times & still didn't get the moves right, I felt like I had cooled down too much & didn't get enough of the work out I was aiming for. Thanks!

    CTX series

    Is the CTX series the best way to learn the combos for Imax 2? I have BS/BF/C&W/CM. I just did Imax 2 & didn't know half the step combinations. I did run them back about 10 times, but never quite got the new ones -very frustrating. Basic step & body fusion went over the routines at a slow...

    waist shapers

    Are any of Cathe's videos good for shaping the waist to look smaller or curvier? I've found that my waist seems to have widened out since I've been working out. It's good to be tight, but I'd like to bring back a little hourglass curve in the waist. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Protein question

    Thanks for all the info guys! I'm not a body builder at all so don't have any specific kind of regimen. I just started doing Cathe's tapes a month ago. I did the Firm for many years prior & gym exercise before then. Since I don't work out super long & hard, and from the advice on the post, it...

    Protein question

    Why are protein drinks important to 'add' to a person's diet? A trainer told my friend that unless a person is seriously working out to build muscles & get big, protein drinks & bars will only make her gain weight. But trainers do tend to have their own theories on things & they don't always...

    Video Clips

    Thanks. You could be right. Two weeks ago I could watch them at the 56 & 100K speed, but now it just keeps giving an error that a network error may have occurred or the server might not be available. I can watch anthing else w/my windows media player, but suddenly I can't see these. Those...

    Video Clips

    I haven't been able to view the video clips to preview the DVD's recently? My media player is working for other things. Does anyone know if there is something wrong w/the web page connection? Is anyone else having or NOT having this problem? I really like to view the clips before making...

    inner & outter thighs....

    Thanks. I haven't done PLB at all yet. When you refer to the 'floor work' do you mean that there is floor work as well as standing work on the PLB dvd ? I was going to try the 'premix' of the PLB one tonight, but I haven't had a chance to view it yet. I don't have S&H. I think I will try...

    inner & outter thighs....

    Hi. I'm pretty new to Cathe, but I really like her style & find I can't wait to get home & do my work outs now. Which DVD/video is best for reducing & toning inner & outer thighs? Is general cardio the best way or is it better to concentrate on specific leg dvds/videos? I have...

    abs vs core work out

    I am new to Cathe's workouts so this may be a stupid question, but I'll never know if I don't ask. Are ab hits & core max too similar to do on consecutive days? is it better to fit a cardio a day in between? Thanks for everyone's help on this & previous posts!

    Rotation help needed, please!

    thanks! I am an intermediate. I have done the FIRM (& others) for years and really like the FIRM best, but they're just not giving me much of a work out anymore. I find that I really do like the Cathe tapes & other than the fancy footwork, I'm able to keep up & am ready to up the intensity...
