My husbands comments on the "old vs. new" Cathe

Hi Cathe and others,

I thought you would find it interesting to know that while I was previewing one of Cathe's older vidoes (Step Jam or PowerMax?) my husband commented on Cathe's legs. He said "She's not so hot, her legs are just a couple of tooth picks". I just looked at him strangely. He then said "I'm serious, that should NOT be a goal!".

Personally I think Cathe looked great in her older videos as well as her new ones. Anyway, I recently stopped him and had him look at Cathe in her CTX tapes. I told him that she was the same woman who's "legs were too thin". He of course said "Wow she's got some meat on her legs now". "You can make THAT your goal."

I am very happy my husband feels that way since genetically my legs could never look like Cathe's did in her earlier videos.

I thought others would like to hear more proof that not every guy out there wants his girlfriend or wife to look like Hollywood models and actresses do currently.

Thank you Cathe for being a great role model,

Dawn
 
I've been using Powermax again, and I have some older videos, but I don't think she's ever had skinny legs. She's a former gymnast and I could tell right away because her quads are so well developed, and they always have been. I just don't see how anyone could look at even her old vids and see toothpicks? She certainly got more muscle mass and cut now, but she's always had legs like a racehorse. In fact, she told me her friends have called her "thoroughbred" for years.

But it is nice that your hubby likes the muscles and not the waif look. I think most men agree, it's women who tend to think that looks good. They get sucked into the media hype about thinner being better, but most men I've talked to say they like curves and love some muscle on a woman. Thank goodness you got one of those guys!
 
I think that most men aren't as superficial as the media tries to portray them. Anybody with any sense can see that the Ally look is not healthy!
 
That's weird that this was brought up because last month while I was on my Max rotation my husband stopped and watched while I did PowerMax and he said "Man, she's got great legs!!" Then (the darling!!) Told me that my legs were very rapidly coming look just like hers. At this point I paused the tape and gave him a kiss. To me, there is no better compliment!!
 
I agree that Cathe's legs look great in both her old and new videos. I'd be happy if I had legs like she did in her older or newer videos. I was just stating my husband's opinion. I think my husband is into calf definition, which there must be a bigger difference between her older and newer videos (at least in his eyes).
By the way congrads on having legs like Cathe's. I have a "LLLLLONG" way to go. My thighs have always been my Problem area (with a capital P).

Oh, I see what you mean, about how he would think her legs were too skinny before. If he's into more muscles and all, which is very cool. Like I said, I've heard so many men say they hate the waif look. But then I know so many women who strive for that. I don't feel like women should be striving to please men, but if they think men like that, they're wrong.

And as for your problem thighs, I had the exact same stubborn problem area myself. A year after starting Cathe and some major lifestyle changes in my nutrition, now my legs look pretty damn good! Better than when I weighed a lot less in my early 20s even! I love the muscles and I think going heavy during legwork, especially those plie squats, has helped a lot. I haven't gotten bulky at all, even using 40 pounds for MIS legwork and heavy dumbells. So if you keep up your good work, it will pay off.

Take care!
 
Just a quick question...

Does anyone know how tall Cathe is? My husband commented on her being "tiny" which got me wondering myself, since to me she seems "larger than life." :)

P.S. I'd take her old or new legs anytime! Mine have come a long way (thanks to Cathe) but still have a loonng way to go!
 
RE: I was wondering the same thing!!!

Except we are the opposite in thinking. I say she's about 5'4" or 5'5" My hubby says at least 5'6" if not more. Anybody know??
 
RE: I was wondering the same thing!!!

I think I remember her saying that she is either 5'2" or 5'3".
 
RE: I was wondering the same thing!!!

If Cathe is taller than 5'5", then Rhonda must be about 7 feet tall. Even standing behind Cathe she's so much taller, you know? I'm guessing about 5'2" or 3" myself.
 
I think 5'2 is right!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Dec-26-00 AT 08:04PM (Est)[/font][p]She certainly is not taller than 5'3. I went on the last two Cathe trips and she is T-I-N-Y! I am 5'7 1/2 and I feel HUGE next to her. She has a very small frame with GREAT muscle definition. She is cute as a dang button.

PS...I am taller than Rhonda, I'd guess her height to be around 5'5 or 5'6. I met her on last years trip.
 
You..

...guys are too funny!! Now, you have me wondering HOW tall Cathe really IS. I would have guessed her at 5' by the heighth she looks in the vids. She appears short to me. I feel like a giant at 5'4'' because my twin sis is 4'11"! I guess we need to post on the ASK CATHE FORUM!!! My, but we are nosey, aren't we??? LOL! Your-Friend-In-Fitness, DebbieH :)
 
RE Isn't that weird?

I'm 5'1" and judging from her videos she looks taller than me!! I'm a twin also Debbie!! Mine a brother and we're like night and day on the outside. I'm short and muscular and he's of average height but very lean with long muscles!! I agree Debbie, we must post and ask!!!
