CathyV's Profile Fields

When I began doing Cathe Workouts: 1997

How I found out about Cathe Workouts: Some ladies on the old Video Fitness website used to rave about "Cathe Friedrich". I had never heard of her before but the enthusiasm of her fans was contagious. This was 1997. I decided to give step aerobics a try and I was hooked! Then, Cathe's awesome strength workouts kept me coming back for more. She is SUPERB!

Why I love doing Cathe Workouts: Cathe always keeps things fun and interesting! She's like an old friend. I still can't levitate myself but maybe someday....

Where I work out most often: Home

Other Workout DVDs that I own: I own all the early Firm VHS tapes but really, once I started doing Cathe's workouts, I didn't feel I needed to supplement with anything else. I also have a few non-Cathe yoga/stretching DVDs, but those too have been surpassed by Cathe's LIS Yoga DVDs. Two non-Cathe rehab-style yoga/stretching DVDs that I WOULD recommend are "Viniyoga" and "The Egoscue Method". Those are good for folks that have running related issues such as tight hamstrings and lower backs.

My Fitness Goals: I believe that age is just a number and many times the only limitations we have are the ones we place on ourselves. I'm the same age as Cathe Friedrich. I would like to enter "middle-agedom" with a healthy, can-do, positive attitude. I would also like to be able to keep up with Cathe and her crew when they do all of those insane push-up variations in the STS series!!!
