    Cathe DVDs at Virgin Megastore UK?

    Hi littlekitty, I got all excited when I read your message and went straight to the site to check it out! Do you mean the image of Cathe doing the bomb diver push ups from Drill Max? I wonder if the website is just using this image as an advertising banner for fitness DVD's? I am definitely...

    Step Blast Challenge - HIIT?

    Hi Stephanie, Just wanted to say as I am also a "UK-er" (live near Bristol). Nice to see another "local" gal here! (I also wish we had "The Cathe Channel")!!;-) Kaz

    urban rebounding....good instructors?

    Hi Diva, There are now some Compilation Urban Rebounding DVD's with about 4 workouts on each one. I think there are about 5 Compilation DVD's. The good thing about these compilations is that you can combine workouts so as to get a longer cardio workout (the workouts are about 30 mins each...

    Another Instructor for low impact step aerobics

    Hi Sherri, You dont mention why impact is a problem to you, only that your ankles give you trouble? Just curious, as I wondered if doing the blasts on a rebounder would be an option? I quite often do several of the blasts on the rebounder and find this greatly reduces the impact without losing...

    High Step Training Variation

    Hi Sally, The Firm call it a tall box climb, where they put the 2 parts of the Fanny Lifter together (giving a total height of about 14" I think) and step up and down to tempo, the same as you would do on a "normal" step height. However, the added height really kicks the cardio factor into a...

    Jari Love - today???

    Hi Lorrie, Not sure if this post is too late, but my advice would be to forget doing RTTC today, as you worked your legs so hard yesterday. Like you, I am also used to Cathe lower body slayings, er, I mean, workouts, ;-) however, the first time I did RTTC it left my legs sore in ways they...

    High Step Training Variation

    Hi All, Just wanted to share a little variation I made to the HSTA workout today - instead of doing leg presses like Cathe and Crew, I subbed High Step climbs (think Firm Tall Box climbs) with no weight. I changed legs when Cathe did so ended up doing 16 climbs each side. I used 5 risers under...

    New Cathe Fan who injured herself :(

    Hi, Not Cathe and not a medical expert, but my advice would be to rest completely until the pain has gone. If you continue to work out, I believe you will just be delaying your recovery, and possibly aggravate the injury further. I know this is probably not want you want to hear, and I have...

    Leaning Out Leg's

    Hi, Are you able to run? My thighs have always been bigger than I'd like, and for years I did all the usual squats, lunges, low-weight/high rep, high weight/low rep exercises in an effort to lean them down. Whilst these exercises helped, it wasn't until I started running over a year ago that my...

    calories

    Hi Amy, I agree with what Karen has said above in that you have to watch the calories in AND exercise to lose the pounds (also not a nutritionist or expert - just my own experience ;-) ). Losing weight, in my experience, is more about eating clean than exercising. I have never lost weight...

    CTX

    Hi Anne, I credit the CTX series for getting me back in shape after having my first child. It is, in my opinion, one of the best series Cathe has done. It was a "no-brainer" for me - I mean that in the sense that I didn't have to think about what to do - I knew I could get a great workout done...

    Muscle Endurance

    Hi Adri, I would say that if you are new to this kind of strength workout you will see some increase in lean muscle mass. I believe Muscle Endurance is geared more towards developing and improving muscular stamina and endurance as the title suggests, with the emphasis on lean muscle. I think...

    Anyone bulk up too much from doing Cath workouts?

    Hi DeanaMax, Just wanted to say that I am in the same boat as you. I am 6ft tall and am already blessed with a large frame ;-) so any kind of weight work I do adds to this frame in a way that I personally do not like. Having said this, I have about 10-14lbs of body fat covering my muscles so...

    Some Unfortunate News!

    Hi Cathe! I am a fan of yours in the UK and believe me when I say, there is nothing that even comes close to your workouts here, so I am more than happy to wait until you are fit enough to film again (and I just know some of that pent up frustration you are experiencing right now will be coming...

    RE: Beginner runner questions/comments.... one more.... "Have you tried wearing two bras for the running? That works for me. Although at this point they resemble two empty wallets! LOL!" He He! That is so funny - I know what you mean! That is a great idea about wearing 2 bras - I will give...

    Beginner runner questions/comments....

    RE: Beginner runner questions/comments.... one more.... Hi Momofmany! Just wanted to say that I can relate as I did my first run today! I am following the "Couch to 5K" program at coolrunning.com. I did the warm-up from PLB, then ran for 22 minutes, alternating 60 seconds of running with 90...

    In Praise of DebbieH!!

    Hi All! I know this will probably embarass her no end, but I just wanted to pay a little tribute, and say a BIG public "THANKYOU" to DebbieH. Not only has she (and the rest of you, of course!;-) ) made me feel incredibly welcome here, she has also gone out of her way to help me out in a...
