I was just thinking the same thing - I had only just discovered Cathe when Road Trip 2005 happened, an now I find myself checking here EVERY DAY to make sure I don't miss the announcement about Road Trip 2007 (if there is one!) I hope so! My friend and I are ready to come! I'd love to also...

Cathe - Hi, I know it is impossible to determine what's going on with someone from only one email, but I was hoping to draw on your experience and expertise! Here's a little bit of background information on me: I am 34, and 5 foot 4. Back in June 2005 I weighed 168 lbs. and went on a...

Hi - I have a similar problem to you - I can stay in a plank position for a LONG time, but have trouble with the straight leg push-ups ... I can only do eight at a time now, and my January Cathe calendar fitness goal is to be able to do 12 by the end of the month. I found that part of my...

WOW - everyone THANKS for your replies ... It is a new year and I am making a resolution to try out the premixes - after all, so many Cathe fans can't be wrong!! THANK YOU!

Hi everyone - I wanted to ask a question about pre-mixes. I don't do them ... I am not sure why, but for some reason it seems like "cheating" to me (I KNOW that makes no sense) but I figure I may as well just do the whole workout in its original state. Please everyone convince me that...

I am also 5 foot 4 and have been doing all the workouts on a 6 inch step. In fact when I started out, I was doing them with no shoes on (for about eight months) so my feet would get used to where they needed to be ... for some reason I needed to be able to "feel" the step. I started wearing...

Kathryn - AWESOME topic! My two that I think I would hate for people to see me doing - tuck jumps (for some reason I am scared it will hurt my knees) and the Pump Repeater ... it just looks so weird!!

Amy, Not Cathe here, but I also started with Cathe on FitTV and at first I loved the commercials because it gave me a chance to BREATHE! Then after six months or so I would fast forward through them while marching around the room to prevent my heartrate from dropping ... I had them DVR'ed...

Cathe - an update ... I gave Marti her step and DVD as a gift today and she was SO EXCITED! Everyone has been asking me at work what I have been doing to get in shape and I tell them its discipline and CATHE! So now we're remodelling our fitness center at the office - taking out the...

Cathe - I want to second (and third) the calendar THANK YOU! I got mine today and it is FANTASTIC! I opened it up at the office and the receptionist there is new and I have been telling her about how you have helped me get back on track and basically lost me about 35 lbs. over the last year...

Linda, Your story sounds VERY SIMILAR to mine. I discovered Cathe and Weight Watchers at about the same time - June 2005. On WW I went from 168 to 143 in 13 weeks; I was also working out to Cathe's FitTV versions six or seven days a week. I also prefer to do mostly cardio, becuase I fell...

Hey everyone - I just received Cathe's five new workouts (have done all except Cardio Fusion), and I am enjoying them SO MUCH I am inspired to buy some more ... I am partial to the cardio / step ones, but also love the IMAX series ... so I was looking through the list and was wondering if...

Heather, I am feeling your pain! I did Lower Impact Circuit on Thursday - GREAT! Drill Max on Friday - GREAT! Body Max 2 on Saturday - GREAT! Butts and Guts last night ... this morning I feel it in every step - more in my glutes and outer thighs (from firewalkers) than anywhere else...

I just got my shipping notice email - I am number 12235 and they're due Thursday with two day UPS!!! HOORAY! Just in time for me to get over this head cold and BACK ON TRACK!!!

Cathe - Hi, let me start by saying that I am loving the blog and can't wait for my new workouts! I was hoping that you could do a profile on each of your crew members .. maybe starting with Cedie (who is my biggest inspiration). I have a few of your DVDs at home and wanted to try and see...

I have the same problem in the morning with gettting my daughter ready for school and me to work! I always felt hesitant about half a workout and then trying to do the other half later - mostly because of not being sure that I warmed up or cooled down properly ... so the ONLY time I can do my...

I also work on on carpet - used to do it with no shoes on, which made the pivots easier, but was probably bad for me - so now with shoes ... I don't like: Figures 8s Mambo Pivots (not good for my knee) Power Scissors (also bad for my knee) Tuck Jumps (feel weird) Flying Angels (I will...

Lindsey - I am right there with you too! Last year I lost 25 lbs. in 13 weeks by cutting back to 1500 calories and doing cardio 5-6 times a week. Now this year I have been stuck in the same 5 lb. weight range for about six months! I tried switching to 3-4 cardio a week and 3 strength...

Thank you everyone has replied to this post. Of course over the weekend (well Friday night) I got a BAD cramp in my right calf and it has been so tight I can hardly walk since then! I am guessing that I have a pretty mild case of this problem since stepping up doesn't hurt me at all, and I...

Thank you so much for your response to my question. You are right about the 90 degree angle thing ...I only ever feel that discomfort when it is a weight bearing leg with downward pressure though. Stepping up really doesn't bother me at all. THANK YOU!
