2 years ago I had a wonderful and beautiful baby (baby #2).
I also had some extra weight that just had to go!
At 162 lbs I was about 24 lbs heavier than I was before I had gotten pregnant. I was 38 lbs heavier than I was when I graduated high school. None of my clothes [...]
It’s hard for me to believe that a year ago on February 9, 2009, I did my very first Cathe workout! After reviewing the multitude of workout DVDs available by Cathe, I settled on Cardio Fusion, Step, Jump & Pump & Step Blast and Ab Hits. I started with Cardio Fusion and it kicked my [...]
My story is not a typical story you might hear. I was not overweight and needed to shed some pounds. I was skinny and needed to gain some self esteem.
My whole life I was always told how “skinny” I was (almost like it was a disease) and how lucky I was to be able to [...]
My success story involves not just myself, but three lovely ladies that have entered my life. Battling with secondary infertility for seven years, I found myself having my third child at age 35. With each of my pregnancies, I gained 50-60 lbs. By daughter #3, this weight was extremely hard to lose, and the thought [...]
I had spinal fusion surgery due to chronic pain in my lower back and down my right leg. After surgery I was unable to work for 8 months and I gained a little over 30 pounds. Before surgery I was slightly overweight and weighed about 170 Lbs. I am 5′11″ and my ideal weight is [...]
My success story starts three years ago.
I had been suffering for several years with female issues. I was finally diagnosed with a large fibroid tumor and decided to have a hysterectomy.
As my issues had worsened over the years prior, I had been afraid to exercise, fearing it would make the problems worse. Also, I had [...]
People usually guess my age at anywhere from 10 to 25 years younger than what I really am. While I’ll never admit to how old I really am — even if you guessed correctly, I would most definitely lie — I will say that I’m over 55 and exercise to Cathe daily. I think her [...]
I have always enjoyed working out and made fitness a part of my life. While I was going through college and law school, the gym was where I went with my friends to burn off stress and clear my head. However, I never had a lot of definition and always wanted more muscle tone.
After I [...]
the beginning
I was almost 7 years old when my family moved from Minnesota to California. Before the move, I remember being a popular, confident, leader-type kid, with a healthy, normal body weight. At my new school, I did not have a warm welcome from the kids. I was different. I was scared. I was made [...]
I began to watch Denise Austin on life time, and then Gilad on fit tv. I Felt that I had quickly outgrew the challenges of these workouts. I remember tuning into fit tv, and coming across power hour with Cathe Friedrich. I only had a set of five, and eight pound dumbells. But, boy was [...]
