Cathe, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm taking my 10 year old collie mix into the vet tomorrow, and I have a feeling the news isn't going to be good. Our animal friends are such beautiful souls - we just have to be grateful for the time their spirits stay with us. Please take care, and allow...

Cathe, and friends, I'm thrilled to see the "music lounder" option. Woo hoo! Jane C

Wow Cathe, thanks! (Will there be a preorder break on other programs?) I'm very excited by all the dvd programs, and the mix and match possibilities. Thanks for thinking so creatively. I would like to take this opportunity to complete my Cathe DVD collection (I think that only means Ab...

RE: Terminator rotation question - getting ready for th... ok, ok, i'll take a rest day! i guess my thinking was that since i'll have a 4 day weekend inbetween the two marathon bouts - and then a week of no formal workouts - it would be ok to put the pressure on inbetween. thanks. jane c.

I got my new DVDs tonight! :) Can you use the three terminator programs as a consecutive rotation? I'm going to the Riviera, off season on Feb. 14th (first trip to europe!) - the weekend before I'll also be away F-M. I'd like to do a very, err, intense, rotation with my new Cathe DVD's...

is there a ballpark estimate on the dvds? i've always been more than pleased with SNM customer service, and have every confidence everything possible is being done. i'm wondering if there's a rough idea about the dvd ship date. thanks. jane c.

another music suggestions Step with Steely Dan??? showing my age... Jane C.

I'm a big animal lover. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats (yes, borderline lunacy at my place). I'm so impressed that Cathe trains service dogs, and I can see where the same skills required to be a good fitness instructor would translate into dog training. There was a picture in the NYTimes yesterday...

Thanks for the kind words Sarah! I failed to mention that I did use a six inch step (rather than Cathe's 8") for the step portion, which definitely made the the power segment at the end much more doable. Jane C

I agree with Ellen Cathe is one of the most beloved and respected instructors on VF. I think that thread just took on a life of its own. I read it carefully today, and almost every single particpant talked about how much they like Cathe, and how Cathe has done great with kickboxing, strength...

Cathe, I really enjoy your plank work segements and I think it would be great if you did a "functional fitness" sort of video. Jane C.

Honeybunch, I initially used Richard Simmon's Food Mover (and I'd note that at that time I could only do Richard Simmon's videos - but I improved quickly). Food Mover is based on the American Diabetic Exhchange System and uses the same kind of food exchanges that the old Weight Watchers used...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-09-02 AT 02:37PM (Est)[p]Hi Cathe, I want to let you know how much I appreciate your tapes and DVD's. I had a bad relapse/weight gain in 2000. Since Feb. 2001 I've lost 70 lbs and become quite the consistent video exerciser. I've always enjoyed your strength training, but...

lots of CIA tapes - Christi, Andre, Patrick and Cathe of Course! In addition to Cathe's wonderful tapes, Creative Instructor Aerobics produces many high quality choreographically complex tapes. look at ciavideo.com . I love Christi Taylor, Andre Houle, most Patrick Goudeau, Shannon and Alison...

lets put this in context... I was just going through some old workout clothes from the early nineties. I have a drawer full of low cut/low back/thong leotards, and believe me, Cathe would have alot more business wearing these things than I would! LOL. (the really funny thing is, even though...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-10-01 AT 04:11PM (Est)[p]There's a world of information to be had at the videofitness.com website. There's a "video selector" that can help you pick out a good tape, there are many video reviews. There's also a wonderful message board with a very "knowledgeable crowd"...

Hi Cathe (and Cathe-friends!) I'm an enormous fan and particularly enjoy your weight training programs. This summer, in part because of the hot weather, I've been drawn to more pilates-type strength work and power yoga. I note that in the CTX series you do some pilates-type plank/core work...

I'm not Cathe, I'm not certified in anything (of relevance here!) and my abs aren't flat, so, take this with a grain of salt, but these are the things I've learned over the years - maybe others can comment - 1. Form is extremely important. you must be very very careful when you work your abs...

about knee pain I'm not a fitness instructor and am certified regarding nothing of relevance here, however... I really caution care with your knees and joints. I think people often intuitively know what exercise or movement is bothering them but they don't allow themselves to consciously...

I've heard that the little step platform (that fits over an individual stack of risers) is not available, that it was made especially for Cathe. I've also heard that someone has instructions for revamping a regular step platform into one of the minis. Personally, I've never had any problem...
