Hi All, I've been trying to figure this one out all day. Ha! Which Cathe circuit workout has a sequence where you shuffle on the floor and then do a "jump shot" (and then repeat to the other side)? I'm pretty sure this is a more athletic-style Shock Cardio Series workout, but I just can't...

Hi, I'm trying to set up the Workout Manager and it's so frustrating! I watched the basic tutorial, filled out height/weight/bmi info, selected a Cathe rotation to save to my calendar and it will NOT save! I use a Mac, firefox... is that a problem with the workout manager? Sad in...

Holy Wow. Cheryl, Rotations 2 and 3 are also awesome! And kind of frightening. haha! Took measurements last night so I'm all ready to go. :) I haven't done any plyo STS yet, no... and am excited to get to those (I think. Ha!). So far I've almost completed Meso 1, but am starting your...

Comparing Results That sounds like a great idea! I didn't know about the workout buddy option. That's fun! Yes, please sign me up. :) I'm looking to target the same areas as you, so I'll get out the tape measure tonight! I'm so excited to start this rotation! Thanks so much for compiling...

This rotation is amazing, Cheryl! Wow, Cheryl. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and for sharing your expertise! This rotation looks great! And 70 minutes is just fine. That's about all I can handle... ;) To answer your 2 questions... I have no knee problems and I use only...

Freestyle training Hi All, Thanks for the tips! :) Kathryn, freestyle training is based on a book that has been mentioned in the forums quite a bit- search 'freestyle' and 'legs' to find several threads on the topic. :) Basically, it involves working out the legs several times a week...

Hi all, I'm a long-time Cathlete and I'm absolutely loving the new STS Series. I'm currently on week 3 and wow... I'm addicted! While my upper body is looking awesome, I'm noticing that my legs are bulking a bit, unfortunately. Uh oh. My diet is pretty clean (except for the occasional...

Hi All, I'm considering buying a weighted vest and want to stay in the $100.00 price range. I noticed that the All Pro vest allows for 40#, yet it just looks cumbersome and long in the torso. I'm thinking about buying the Reebok Weighted Vest because it looks like it may fit my smaller...

Oh no, Candi! I didn't think that you *did* take it personally... x( And you are surely right, everything is relative! My only intention with this post was to just ask Cathe for advice...shoot, this was just taken in the wrong way... sorry if I offended anyone. Take care, Jen

Hi All, Thanks for the kind words and great tips. Dr. David, I'll definitely look into this book. :P Thank you for the recommendation. Honestly, I'm not implying that I'm overweight or old. I guess that I should have chosen a better title to address my question because I didn't mean to...

Candi, You crack me up! :D I love reading your posts, btw! Yea, I know 30 isn't middle age, really, but there is definitely a difference in my metabolism. My clothes aren't fitting the same and it's driving me crazy. }( Take care! xo, Jen

Hi Cathe, I've been using your videos/DVDs for the last 10 years with excellent results, (and thank you so much for creating such high quality workouts!!!) Over the last couple years, I've noticed that all though I basically eat the same as I always have and continue to work out 5-6 days...

Hi Susan! I was so glad to read your reference to Bitch Magazine! ;-) I, too, read the 'Curves' article and have told others about it. Subscribing to the magazine helps the publication out so much more than buying it at major chains, actually, as such a large cut is taken off of the top...

Lisa, Thank you very much for bringing this article to our attention. I was livid when I read that comment from the Senator from Pennsylvania, aside from being annoyed by the article, in general. It seems like our freedoms are slowly being chipped away every day. I will definitely boycott...

I agree! Susan is in great shape! :-)
