Hi Cathe - Is there any advantage to using a heavy bag for throwing boxing punches versus shadow boxing? Thanks (Did MMA Boxing yesterday - hoowah!)

Hey, Has anyone used Cathe's nutrition software, and what did you think of it?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism). Wondered if anyone has any experience with this. My doctor told me I would put back all the weight I had recently lost (40+ pounds). Part of me is freaking out a little bit, but I can't believe I can't control my weight with...

I was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (that was a surprise). Anyone else have this? Are there any supplements out there to help regulate the thyroid? I will be on levothyroxine, but I was wondering if I could do anything else to help get myself back into balance. I'm a little concerned...

Hey Cathe - Would you ever do a DVD that is more instructional, sort of a Kick Box for Dummies kind of DVD. I like the leg exercises you do on Kick Max - it not only makes my legs a little stronger and a little more flexible, but I can actually see the moves. Thanks!!

Hi Cathe- You have taught us that we should put a day in between weight workouts when working on the same muscle group. Does the same hold true for abdominal workouts, or can they be done daily? Thanks!

Cathe - Thank you. I've been working out with you and the other ladies for two to three years now. I've learned a lot, and I thank you. I also wanted to share that I've lost 30 pounds. It was hard at first, but did get easier as I kept losing. I really believe a large part of my success...

I think I strained one of my knee tendons in the right knee. I dont' think it's tear, since it gets better, then I use it too much, and it starts hurting again. Can't afford to see a doctor right now, since no insurance. Anybody experience this? I've found info online saying the best way to...

This may be a dumb question, but why do Cathe and the gang wear gloves while doing kick boxing, etc. Are they weighted?

I'm coming up to my one year anniversary of breaking my left wrist (surgery with two pins). Thanks Cathe and my fellow Catheletes for your empathy and excellent advise. I DID listen to my doctor and physical therapist and my wrist is pretty close to good as new. Thanks, thanks, thanks. My...

Has anyone done research, read any good books on emotional eating behavior? I'm looking for books that offer some practical advise on dealing with this issue. Thanks.

Just in time for the release of STS, I fell on the ice and now have a cast and two pins in my wrist joint. Of course I will follow doctor's orders, however I wondered if anyone else has gone through this in the past and can give me tips on getting back into weight training, etc. once I get the...

Hi Ladies - I have been working out with the Body Blast series including the weight training DVD. I'm ready to move onto something more intense. I am signed up for STS, but want to increase my workout (particularly my upper body) before STS comes out. What set of DVDs would you suggest, Slow...

Help! I have recently purchased Cathe's Greatest Hits DVD and have been learning Power Max. (Wow - it's tough!) I go through the warm-up and stretches with Cathe, no problems, then start into the workout. Everythings feels warm and loose, however once I am into the second set of aerobics my...

Okay, I'm addicted to Cathe. Thanks to the advice of you folks in the forum, after going through the basic Cathe DVDs to learn the basics, I got the Body Blast series and am loving it. My question concerns the new STS. Is it strictly for advanced Catheites or can an intermediate like me give...

I thinking of purchasing barbells. Any shopping tips, i.e. what/where did you buy yours? How much weight did you get. Anything I need to know about barbells (I haven't a clue!). Thanks.

Hi, I am new to Cathe and loving it. I have been following Cathe's plain for new steppers, i.e. mastering Basic Step and now I am learning the Low Impact Step DVD. I'd like suggestions on where to go after that, which series to begin. Perhaps some of you could tell me your history and what...
