Cathe, Thanks for the awesome new workouts! I was just wondering about the "bonus cardio" segments in LIC and BM2, since they are after the cool down and stretches. Are they there for the mix and match selection? I have never tried to use the mix and match. Just curious! Thanks for all your...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone else finds that they can't do their 'usual' workout at the same intensity in the summer heat? I am working out indoors w/the air on, so it's cool enough, but I just can't figure out what else it could be that I just cannot do the workout I used to be able to - for...

I was reading one of the other posts that you responded to and am just curious. I am of German heritage, but American-born, and never learned to speak the language. Wish I would have. My, but you have so many talents!!! Lynne

I can't be the only one who works out in my apartment; my problem is, with the new tapes (I tried to do boot camp last night) there is so much impact that i feel my neighbors below me are going to want to strangle me!! I guess if someone were working out above me it would be irritating...

SNM: I am getting nervous. I pre-ordered by mail, all intensity series vhs on september 16. I recently checked my bank statements and to date, the check hasn't been cashed. also, i emailed you at the gocathe email address and haven't received a response. I want to make sure you received my...

Oh no! i tried the vitalert this morning. took it as recommended, and for lunch i totally carbo-loaded (fish, macaroni and cheese and a roll). believe it or not, i felt really really hungry about 2 hours after stuffing all those carbs into my system!!! usually that kind of lunch would have me...

Hi Gang: in my impatience for the new Cathe videos, I ordered a few of Christy's step tapes, only b/c I thought they were advanced in intensity. While I have only previewed them, they only seem advanced in choreography. I hate to say anything negative or offend anyone, but it seems like all...

Hi all! Am i the only one who "binge eats" at night? I can't stand doing it, but can't seem to stop! I will work out with Cathe, and after showering, sit in front of the tv and eat junk!! Then feel fat and sluggish, and wonder why did i just do that? But then do it all over the next night...

SNM: i ordered the new videos by mail and sent a check. will you be sending confirms to those of us who ordered by mail? I want to make sure you received my order. Thanks!! lynne

Hi all: I've heard that sometimes it's good to take a week or whatever off from working out, for various reasons, one supposedly is to feel 'refreshed' when you come back to it. However, my question is: has anyone done this and found that their cardiovascular fitness has decreased? someone...

Dear educated crowd: I finally got brave enough to try S&H (just the shoulders part)even tho i've had the tape since it came out. my question is: have you all felt sorness after doing the S&H series? maybe i didn't use heavy enough weights because i feel absolutely no soreness today...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-24-02 AT 01:55PM (Est)[p]Hi everyone: i know this isn't a forum for crying on your shoulders, but does ANYONE have advice to keep motivated as far as working out right after a serious relationship ends? It is really difficult to focus on working out/caring for yourself when...

Hi all! Does anyone have any recommendations for a substitution for double grapevines in Circuit Max? I love that tape, but do not have enough room to do the double grapevines:-( thanks! lynne

Cathe: how long should I do a certain strength tape before I switch tapes for "muscle confusion?" In other words, how do I know if i should just increase the weight with the tapes I'm doing (right now, I'm doing Pure Strength series) or change to another tape (e.g., Slow and Heavy?). thanks...

Cathe: How do I know if I'm doing these exercises correctly (I think that's what you call them in the tricep section)? I try focusing on my triceps, but it still seems like i'm using my chest muscles!! Please help! I want to do these right! :-hmmm Thanks, Lynne

Dear Educated Crowd: There was recently a post about smaller (home version) steps. I have a smaller version step and am contemplating purchasing a full size. My question is, does anyone have any recommendations as to which step is better, the Reebok (which goes to 10 inches) or The Step (as...

Cathe: or educated crowd: Is it just me or is it difficult to stay motivated this time of year (fall/winter)? I live in Michigan and with the cold weather here, and sweaters/long coats to "hide" under, it is truly more difficult to stay motivated. I was so good in the summer b/c of tank tops...

Cathe or educated crowd: I am not sure of the proper form for rear delt raises. I went to the "form pointers" but don't think it is in there. Must you do them sitting or can you do them standing? Please help! I want to make sure I'm benefitting from this exercise! Thanks. Lynne

Cathe or whomever has any suggestions: I have been doing a lot of shoulder exercises over the past 8 -9 weeks and am just not seeing definition. My friend said maybe I am doing TOO much. Here is my routine: 2x per week: please advise if you think this is too much, or possibly not enough! 12...

Cathe: I notice that your bio states that you have produced/starred in 32 videos. Are there 3 earlier videos before Step N Motion 1? Because I have every one of your videos, and, counting the new ones that are on the way, I only come up with 29. If so, are these earlier videos for sale? I don't...
