Default 51 And Still At It!

Hi Cathe and everyone else!
I had to get on and tell everyone this story of success. My first workout tape from Cathe was Mega Step Blast. A very long time ago! I think I pretty much bought everything she did from then on. I was an at-home mom with 6 of my own children, more foster children and loved it. Cathe was the answer to my workout needs. The story I have is one that is unique because when I turned 40 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. It was devastating! I continued my workouts even though the pain was excruciating. However, I hurt worse if I did not workout.
I am happy to tell you that I am 51 years old now, and although I have to modify some parts of Cathe's workouts, I am still going strong. My weight and body composition is very good. Through the last decades I went through many surgeries. Because I was on an active work out program with Cathe I recovered amazingly fast and was back on my feet with Cathe once more.
Since then, I opened my own workout club for women only and Cathe has been my inspiration. She taught me everything I know. I focus on core strength, and give my ladies all the support and inspiration that Cathe did for me. My RA is under control because of the workouts and the inspiration that Cathe emits to keep it up. My oldest daughter and I live in two different states and when we see each other we always have to have our workouts with Cathe.
As a club owner, I now can reach out and give back the gift of health that Cathe brought to me. My only dream is that someday my daughter and I can travel back and workout with Cathe in her workout club. That would be the icing on the cake!
THANK YOU CATHE!
