Hi Sonia and welcome!:)

My name is Wendy. I live in Jersey. I've been married for almost 2 years now and I am pregnant with my first child.

I have been exercising religiously for a little over 2 years now...I was doing mostly Firm work outs and have just begun to explore the Cathe workouts in the past couple of days. I have Basic Step and Body Fusion so far. I do most of my work outs in the evenings...that just works best for me.

Take Care.

Hello Sonia,

I'm Lisa and I live in Summerfield, N.C. I have one son who is 20yrs.

I've been exercising 'forever' but am a fairly new 'catheite'. I have found cathe to be the most intense, most fun, and most varied of all the instructors I've used before. I'm definitely hooked and am excited as my level of fitness is definitely increasing rapidly!!

Wendy, that is awesome. Congratulations!

Wendy,

Congratulations. I am really happy for you.

Life is good.

Life is good.:D
 
RE: Who does The Firm and Cathe Please came and Meet me...

Hello Sonia and everyone else.

I joined here a few weeks ago when I started doing an "all Cathe" month for December. I have used the Firm on and off for about 10 years. But it's been all ON the last year. Firming and low carb eating helped me go from a tight size 10 to a comfortable size 4 in about 6 months. I couldn't be happier! I started doing Cathe's workouts just for something new, and I'm totally hooked! I have purchased some of the videos, and am about to order the whole Intensity Series on dvd. I started with the fittv workouts, but realized pretty quickly that they are really missing a lot of the workout.

I have 2 sons, ages 15 and 12, and a great BF. My younger son is autistic, and he LOVES to watch me workout! It's funny! He likes the music and the repitition I guess. It's great having my own in-house motivator/cheerleader. He's always asking me if it's time to workout. :)

Welcome to health and fitness Sonia!

Hi Sonia and Welcome! I use to do Firm and they are really good workouts but after doing Cathe for a while, they get somewhat easy. That is how strong Cathe will make you.


PEDMOM, If you buy the Intensity Series, you will not be sorry! It is such an amazing series...can't imagine how Cathe will beat it but I am sure HC will.
 
RE: Who does The Firm and Cathe Please came and Meet me...

Hi all,

Thank you very much for checking in. It means a lot too me. I am going to cancel my firm club member ship and I am going to start hanging in the with you all. It is free and I can use the US$ 120.00 for pay for the firm to buy Cathe's videos.

I know what is on my list of gift for next year. Cathe's dvd's and more Cathe's dvd's. My husband is going to think that I am crazy because I already have 50 firm videos + 11 from Cathe I am waiting to received. hehehe

Happy Holidays!!!!!

Life is good.

You would be wise to cancel your membership. You can chat with Firm Believers at ivillage.com. If you go to message boards, fitness programs, there is a message board just for Firmies. I am sure a big chunk of ladies here were once (and still may be) Firmites. I was but needed more challenge. Someone at ivillage suggested Cathe and we have been honeymooning ever since!

You can always sell your Firm videos on ebay. Often you are able to get your money back!

Again, Welcome!

Thanks! I am really looking forward to it! I'm just starting so I am really excited every day to do my workout, since they are all so new to me. I also have almost 60 Firm workouts and even with that many, it was starting to get a little repetitive. :)
 
RE: Who does The Firm and Cathe Please came and Meet me...

Hi Sonia!
I've seen you on the Firm boards...I don't post there though so you would have never seen me!!
I have to agree with everyone else that you will become very spoiled with Cathe! And also with this forum, no petty fighting it's all about helping eachother with fitness!
Great to see a face I know, talk to you soon!

Hi Slimbr and welcome:) I just wanted to introduce myself:) My name is Barbara and I am 38 years old and I live in NJ. I have 2 sons 9 and 16. I've been marry for 18 years. I've never done the firm just went straight to "Cathe" but I use to do other things like going to the gym but now I don't because It was too much money and plus I own every Cathe video that keeps me busy. I also love to exercise in the morning too. If I don't do it before 10:00 I feel to lazy. Nice to meet you:)
 
Hi slimbr! I'm Marla. I have had a gym membership since 1997 I think. Even longer than that at other gyms. Even though I still pay my monthly dues at a great price $30.00/mon for DH & me, I still only workout to Cathe. Once I found her, noone else could come close. I occassionaly run on my treadmill & watch TV when I don't want to think while working out but it's always Cathe I go back to. I have about 25 videos from Collage such as the Firm, Gin Miller, Christy Taylor , Karen Voight, but I have to always do my Cathe instead.

I hope you come to love her too.

Hi. I just started doing Cathe's DVD's about 2 months ago.I'd been reading about her workouts for ages at the Firm Ya Ya's Forum.

I got the Blast series in Sept. Couldn't do the step to save my life but due to the Firm/Fit Primes I had no problem heaving up on my weights with Cathe and I could tell a difference right away.

I've Firmed since 1992. I love my Fit Primes but I've been needing a new challange. I hated the new ( Good Times ) Firms and wore out my older Firms. I can't see a leotard with out throwing up.

I love my Cathe! I've found her to be a great boredom buster. Tough but with very good technique tips and time to change equipment written into the scripts.

I've just ordered more Cathe. I can't remember now what is coming but it's something I ordered on the presale last fall.

Right now I do Fit Primes, TLP's (Tracie Long's new videos. The quality isn't too good but the workouts are a real challange) and Cathe. I also run 3+ miles when the weather in Minnesota isn't below zero.

My new goal is to get the turns on the step in the Cathe videos. Oh yea. I just got Basic Step and Body Fusion.

My favorite Cathe right now is Step Punch and Crunch. Wow.

I'm a 51 year old Mom with a 7 1/2 year old son.

I still need to lose 15 or so lbs. but hey at least the 15 lbs. are solid.

I also check in at the Firm Ya Ya's as Keenieb and at Fit Prime as Coco
Your going to love the challenge of Cathe.

Hello,

My name is Kim and like alot of people I started with the Firm. Bought everyone of "the Classics" that was ever made. Started out with $50 a pop for the vids. Kept the ones I liked and sold or gave the others to my sister.
My first Cathe was "MIS" about 6 years ago and I have not looked back since. While I have trouble following Cathe's cardo workouts with the exception of her kickboxing ones and the Circuit workouts, her pure step cardio I cannot do, her weight workouts are some of the most detailed with excellent form pointers that I have not seen anywhere else.

I have still kept the Firm Crosstrainers, Tortiose and Hare, Super Cardio, Firm #1,2,3 & 4 and I rotate these with Cathe's strength workouts. I have also branched out into a little pilates and Margaret Richard as well.

I try to get my workouts in the morning before anyone else is up. With small children you have to do that. However my boys do know about fitness and are starting to enjoy trying to workout with "Mommy".

Welcome.

Welcome! You are in for a real treat now that you have found Cathe! I am Debbie, live in Ohio, have a daughter (almost 32) a son (26) and a great hubby (married for 33 years) and found Cathe and never turned back. You will want each & every workout Cathe offers. Give yourself time to learn her step. It is the BEST and worth the extra work. Have fun and we look forward to getting to know you better.
