    How'd you meet your husband?

    Here's a church story, although it is not mine, it's my brother in law's: there was a church function scheduled for an evening, but the date had been changed at the last minute. Everyone got the message except Mike and his future wife. They had never met before but were the only ones who showed...

    Pilates Ab Workouts?

    Karen Voight's Yoga Sculpt has great plank work in it. The tape is 45 minutes, but it's split up into two workouts, with the second 20 minute workout devoted to plank work.

    You knew s/he was the one when...?

    I knew he was the one when I was 20 and in college and I had my battered old teddy bear sitting on a couch in the living room. A group of male friends had been in and were throwing her around and punching her. I told them to stop because a part of me still believed that she was "real"...

    Question - exercising 4 times a week only...need help !

    I had to butt in here and say that I never can seem to work out more than 4 days in row either. No matter how good my intentions are, it just DOESN'T HAPPEN. It's nice to hear that it takes a while. I used to work out 6 times a week with Cathe a few years ago, but then I fell off the wagon...

    Any Homeschoolers out there?

    I currently teach a K/1 multi age class. My advice would be to make sure you are properly informed/trained in early literacy techniques. Kindergarten and First grade are CRUCIAL years for setting your child on the path toward becoming a successful reader. I had a student come to me this year...

    Another step heigh question...

    Hi! I remember reading somewhere (Maybe here on Cathe.com) that you gain more results from adding power moves to your workout than step height. There was a percentage given to show the difference in intensity, but I can't remeber what it was. I do remember that it made me stop feeling bad...

    Have any of you tried jumping rope?

    I wanted to add another plug for Kathy Smith's Aerobox as well. I love the jumproping sections, its a really good tape. It's the only Kathy Smith tape that I actually kept. I really liked the boxer (Michael Olajida ??) in the video.

    Cathe's Wedding Tape

    Hi Deb! When I first started Cathe's tapes, I also loved the realistically fit women on her tapes. I was used to doing tapes where everyone looked perfect, and since that wasN't happenng to me, I got really discouraged. Cathe helped me to have a more realistic body image. Isn't she the best???

    Workouts & Pets

    When I was in college, my roomate had a jack russel terrier and if I was sitting crosslegged on the floor stretching at the end of a tape she would zip back and forth between me and her bedroom and one by one drop each of her toys into my lap,just in case! I have also had cats curl up and nap on...

    Pilates/yoga

    LAST EDITED ON Feb-21-02 AT 04:24PM (Est)[p]I like the Yoga Zone tapes, "Conditioning and Stress Relief" is good, also Karen Voight's Yoga Sculpt, although that isn't as relaxing, it is a tough workout. Also, this isn't a video, but Shiva Rea has a yoga CD called "Yoga Sanctuary" that is...

    ? for fans of Rhythmic Step

    You know, I have watched Rhythmic step just for the fun of it too! I'm glad I'm not the only one :-) It took me about three times to master it, although I still fall off the board sometimes when I am doing the shuffle thing in the third section. When I previewed it I thought I would never be...

    Can you remember how you "found" Cathe?

    LAST EDITED ON Feb-11-02 AT 02:33PM (Est)[p]What a great thread! I found Cathe through videofitness.com in 1998. I had burned out on Karen Voight, and was dabbling with the Firm but I felt like I needed more. I had bought about 40 different workout tapes over the years, Firm, Gilad, Reebok...
