I'm not sure if this qualifies as a success story, but here goes!
I had always kept myself in pretty good shape (jogging, step aerobics) but I had exercise burnout earlier this year! By February I had started getting back on track. I had the good fortune of discovering Cathe and her workouts on FitTV and I was immediately hooked. It was exactly what I was looking for - challenging, high intensity workouts that also incorporated weights. I immediately ordered 3 DVDs and began working out daily. I felt great! Then in April I started having double-vision and trouble with my coordination. Long story short, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I was devistated. I couldn't understand how a month earlier I could feel so good and now I was walking into walls and had no strength on the left side of my body. As I slowly improved I pushed myself to continue working out with Cathe and discovered how practical her exercise DVDs are. Since April I've had 2 more flare-ups of my MS symptoms, but I truly believe that because of Cathe, the flare-ups were shorter in duration. I also believe my random physical disabilities that occur during flare-ups are not as severe because her workouts include such great functional exercises. When a flare-up happens it's always a surprise as to what symptoms I'll have and the duration of the flare-up. But because of Cathe I'm stronger, have better balance and coordination, and am in the best shape of my life. Words cannot express how grateful I am to you. You have improved the quality of my life more than you will ever know. Keep the challenging, intense workouts coming! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
