    how many of you will use the Firm's step instead of the mini-step?

    I have 2 of the 14 inch Firm wooden steps that I've used for years now, and don't really want to buy another step! Are any of you guys using the old Firm step instead of buying the new 14 inch mini step for the new videos? Just wondering if I'll be the only one or if I really should buy the...

    Question about heart rate monitor reading while stepping

    I've been working my up with Cathe's earliest stepping tapes because I just came from the Firm tapes. So I've been doing the "easier" ones. I also started with no risers, moved up to one riser, and just began using 2. I'm now trying to use 2 risers, but my heart rate monitor goes off the high...

    heavy weights hard on my hands

    I'm really increasing the weights but I've got a problem. My hands can't handle the weight. It's not a problems of slipping, so gloves won't work. The problem is that my hands hurt terribly when I'm doing the exercises. For example, if I'm doing chest presses, my chest and arms do OK, but my...

    injured ankle question

    I was stepping to a Cathe tape yesterday, and my right ankle just way in (not blaming Cathe, blaming myself!!). Before I knew it, I was on the floor in horrible pain. When my ankle twisted, I heard a horrible grinding noise and felt like it broke in all directions. Thankfully, I don't think...

    Medicine ball

    After seeing the medicine ball in Cathe's photo, I started wondering where I could buy a good one. Will Cathe have a recommendation or does anyone know? Laura

    Cathe - question about stance in plies and squats

    I've wondered this for the longest time and finally remembered to ask. Is there a difference in how a stance affects the body's muscles when we do plies and squats? You like wider stances, but you say we can select narrower stance. Does a wider stance affect different muscles than a narrower...

    Cathe, fess up, what planet are you really from????

    I've been doing your step and weight DVD's and I've concluded you can't be human. ;-) Your ability to continue moving, jumping, lifting heavy weights, AND talking for 70 minutes, is clear proof that you must be an ET!!! :-wow Oh, also your ability to do 3 sets of straight legged...

    Is Cardio step challange on DVD?

    Cathe, I'm so excited to see you are now selling the earlier tapes on DVD and separately. I'm not good at all with your cardio routines because I've never stepped, so I wanted to start out with easier routines. I've done a search and found that there are several step tapes that are easier, one...

    New to Cathe and need help selecting first tape

    I just found out about Cathe and am interested in her videos, but I'm kind of overwhelmed by the selection. I have done the Firm tapes for at least 10 yrs and really enjoy them, but am willing to try something new. Most probably, I'd like to start out with a lower body and abs tape since...
