    Cathe - Any update on new Slow & Heavy?

    Hi Cathe - I know you just wrapped up production on the new 4-day split series, but I'm really excited about the new Slow & Heavy workouts. Your previous Slow & Heavy series is one of my favorites. Any idea when production will start on the new S&H?

    I'm in a magazine - with a shoutout to Cathe!

    Hi Cathe - just wanted to let you know I was recently interviewed by Quick and Simple Magazine about my weight loss. I told them that my favorite video workouts were your Gym Style Series, and they mentioned it in the article. http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6101/scan0001kh0.jpg...

    Cathe - my weight goes up when I do your workouts!

    Hi Cathe - I'm a huge fan, and I know that your workouts are really helping me build muscle because I recently had to refrain from doing them for a while while we sold our house and moved to another city. Unfortunately I had to put away my weights and step so we could make my workout room look...

    Cathe, help! I hate pushups!!

    Cathe: I just finished doing Gym Style Chest & Triceps. I love that workout except for the drop set of pushups in the beginning. I've been trying for years and can't do more than 8 pushups on my toes. I struggle doing that whole set even on my knees. Do you have any tips to make pushups...

    Your advice worked - thanks Cathe!

    Cathe - just wanted to give you an update. I posted a couple of weeks ago asking for advice to get the last 7-10 lbs. off after losing 50 lbs. You suggested I change my workout routine to do 2 days of total body weight workouts instead of the 3 partial body workouts I was doing. You also...

    Cathe - how much cardio?

    Cathe - I'm struggling with that last, stubborn 7-10 lbs. after losing 50. I've maintained my loss for two years (thanks in large part to your workouts). I lift weights at least 3 times per week. How much cardio do you recommend for fat loss? Is it better to do alternating days of lifting...

    Rebounder workout

    Cathe - have you ever considered doing a workout video for the rebounder? I have adapted some of your hi/lo workouts to the rebounder and it works pretty well. I have bad ankles (tendonitis) and can't do too much high impact, but I love the fun factor of hi/lo. Just a suggestion. Thanks, Julia

    Which to do first, cardio or weights?

    Cathe - I have your Timesaver DVD and I love it but I have a question. Why do you have the cardio before the weights? Do you recommend doing it that way on days when you do both? I've always heard that weights should be done first because you can lift more weight if your muscles aren't tired...

    Results from Hardcore Gym Style workouts

    Hi Cathe - I just wanted to share my great results from doing your Hardcore Gym Style workouts. I use an online body composition site to track my progress, and the other day I entered my stats and was thrilled to see that since May I've gained 1.5 inches in my shoulders and .5 inch in my...

    Cathe - lactic acid question

    Cathe - I know the buildup of lactic acid is what causes "the burn" that we get when we exercise, especially lifting weights. I've read that athletes get less lactic acid buildup than other people, and that some people are actually genetically pre-disposed to have less lactic acid buildup when...

    Which Cathe workouts for the rebounder?

    I know a lot of people adapt Cathe's workouts to the rebounder, and I've started doing that as well due to some ankle problems. Which ones are most easily adapted? I've done Maximum Intensity Cardio and Cardio Kicks but found Cardio Kicks was hard to adapt because a lot of the movements were...

    Cathe - an observation for Cedie

    I was looking at her last night while doing Gym Style Back, Shoulders and Biceps and was really struck by how different she looks now than she did in some of the older videos. I'm thinking specifically of Maximum Intensity Strength - since I just did that one Saturday its fresh in my mind...

    Should I work sore muscles?

    Cathe - I've seen differing opinions on this. I read in a book about weight lifting (Joyce Vedral) that working sore muscles is o.k. because it actually stimulates blood flow to the area and helps the muscles to rebuild. From another source (a women's bodybuilding website) I read that you...

    Cathe - how can I get my waist smaller?

    Cathe - I posted this question earlier in the week but would really like to get your opinion. I have a large waist in proportion to my hips and have a problem finding pants that fit. I have small (size 4) hips, but even some size 6's are too tight for me in the waist. I've had three kids, but...

    Cathe - how can I shrink my waist?

    I know I need to eat clean. Abs are made in the kitchen as they say, so I guess a slim waist is too. I do that, but what exercises are best for slimming the waist? I have small hips and thighs, but my waist to hip ratio is too high. When I find a pair of pants that fit me in the hips they're...

    Hand pain when lifting.

    Cathe - first of all, I love your workouts! You give such great form pointers and I've seen some fabulous results! A friend of mine and I both love the Slow & Heavy series, but we both are having the same problem - we're experiencing hand pain when we do the chest flies and bench press...

    Cardio or weights? What's the best for getting lean?

    I know you need both, and I've been trying to up my cardio with the goal of lowering my BF% and hopefully shrink the stubborn belly fat. But I read on another forum that heavy lifting is the way to go for lowering body fat. Now I'm totally confused. I've always thought that to get rid of...

    Favorite Cathe Moments

    I have done Slow and Heavy several times now but I still crack up every time I do S&H Chest and Back and during the pec flies she says something like "you're still with us right? you didn't go make popcorn and are just watching are you?" I just love her spontaneous humor!:7

    Anyone here over 40?

    Hi - I'm new to this board. I started working with Cathe videos a few months ago and I love the results I'm seeing! I do have some challenges to overcome. I would like to reduce my body fat percentage and I keep working at it, but I wonder if I'll be able to reach my goal. I'm 44 years old...
