Hi all Just wanted everyone to know that although a 'hyst' isn't easy - I found that power-walking through the 6 - 8 months of recovery, coupled with regular weight training, you can sustain your fitness, strength and aerobic capacity. I celebrated my year 'hyst- anniversary' this week...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone suggestions re: working out post-hyst (3 months, bikini incision). I've been easing myself back to Cathe after walking like a mad-woman post-op. Have found Low Max OK, the others I've tried with the jumping etc. I lace my fingers over my lower abs to provide...

Hello all Just wondering if anyone could suggest a reasonable way to ease back into Cathe territory. I'm almost 10 weeks post-op from a sub-total hysterectomy and walked like a 'mad-woman' from 1 week post-op. Since returning to work, I'm too pooped to do anything fitness-wise, but now I'm...

Hi Cathe Just wanted to say thanks for your challenging workouts to which I give a whole lotta credit for my speedy recovery from a sub-total abdominal hysterectomy 2 1/2 weeks ago. That extra reserve of physical stamina and strength has really made the difference for this 45 y.o. bod. I'm...

Hey everyone Has anyone noticed that all the oblique work with PUR, Supersets, etc. has actually increased their waist measurement? I used to have a 29" waist and now it's 30 1/2" (on a good day) there's more muscle definition... but I'm wondering - am I missing something crucial here? I'm...

Hi Cathe and all your devotees I've been doing and loving your workout tapes for the past 3 years, and prior to that the Firm,etc ... well, basically working out for 20+ years starting with Jane Fonda's albums! I'm almost 45 now and lately have noticed that my knees are a little painful...

Sorry... I haven't had the time to search through the history of this site but I do have a question re: knees. I've 'Firmed" 3- 4x weekly for ~ 8 years now and switched to mainly Cathe for the last 6 months. I'm noticing my knees are bearing the brunt of this switch ... Nothing major just...
